Yeah I wasn't that interested in a prequel movie because it seems kind of late to cover that kind of material, and all the tidbits Toriyama had previously given about history had been pretty weird.

But if this movie is going to set up a new villain I am even less interested in the Saiyan - Freeza history. I don't think new villains should be added to that.

A new villain sabotaged the Saiya-jin's attempts to please Lord Beers, which prompted him to give Freeza the "ok" to destroy the planet.

But Freeza blackmailed that new villain to do it, so he could destroy them like he wanted. But the real villain is the one who told Freeza about how the saiya-jins could one day surpass and destroy him which made Freeza paranoid in the first place.

That is the most logical conclusion.

Saiyan's are fucking played out, there's nothing you could do anymore with them.

A Frieza clansmen would only ask questions as to why were only hearing about them now.

Still this is purely speculation though its amusing that Frieza really is appearing to join the main cast.

Just the idea of Freeza getting the Vegeta treatment is both amazing and horrible at the same time.

I've figured that was basically inevitable, the way things have been going.

The other Boo would at least be interesting if they do that, he's not rival material.

He'd be a constant Cell Saga Veggie...at best.

I can't believe Bardock changed his name to Yamoshi and became the first Super Saiyan God.

Forget Raditz, Cell, Buu, all those fucks.

What if SAIBAMAN became a good guy?

Raditz is kind of wasted potential in canon

What kind of potential does Raditz have? Being a brother to Goku isn't much because neither of them really care about the other.

Okay but thats pretty much an exact example of wasted potential

Goku's brother shows up and then dies and its all just to get some bigger villains to come along and reveal Goku is an alien.

It could have been any saiyan and it wouldn't have mattered as long as he pointed at Goku and shrieked YOU ARE AN ALIEN and then dropped dead.

That's why its wasted.

I agree. Raditz being Goku's brother added nothing to the story.

Toriyama shouldn't have bothered if he wasn't going to make it relevant in anyway.

See, that's a case of subversion of expectation I like. Just because he's the protagonist's biological brother doesn't mean he's automatically going to be important without Narrative Causality or Plot Armor.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
