Broly, seriously.

Most uninteresting, uninspired character in the franchise, with THE most annoying fanboys, and now he is being canonized?

My interest in the movie is non-existent.

Is very good Brocc gets such a reaction...people rarely say how they truly feel on the internet.

Just shows how much of presence he has. He's a character that's impossible to ignore.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Calling him a 'character' would be an exaggeration.

No it wouldn't...it would be an overstatement.

He's about as much of a "character" as you can get.

Well in all certainty his more rabid supporters represent the worst side of the fandom.

The haters of his fans aren't any better you know, and if anything, have become even more vocal and annoying then Broly fanboys themselves are.

As is often the case, both fans of a character and haters can go overboard, the former due to hyping up the character too much, and the latter due to getting so annoyed at the former that they'll do anything to shut them down.

We've all seen this before, and it kinda reaches a point where it doesn't really matter who started it.

One way or the other, even discounting the fanboy and power level factor, I find Broly as a character incredibly boring and his concept kinda stupid.

I have no feelings towards Broly one way or another but this is a good thing

If Broly is the legendary super saiyan and they're hopefully setting his origin earlier than Goku's own infanthood then that might mean the Broly will be the original super saiyan instead of that asinine reveal that it was Bardock

I think we can all agree that as contentious as Broly is in the fandom, it's way preferable to Bardock super saiyan getting vicarious revenge on Freeza's ancestor

[up]X4

Fair enough. I admittedly have no horse in this race. I totally get why people dislike Broly, but I myself don't hate him (I'm not a huge fan either, but as I've said, I enjoy his sheer batshit craziness, and I'm kinda hoping it sticks around too in Toriyama's interpretation).

So call me Scooby Doo, cause I'll take the cowards way.

I'm curious how New!Broly is going to tie into Yamoshi and that whole thing. Maybe he was one of the evil Saiyans Yamoshi was fighting. Maybe Broly was actually good, and turned evil in the aftermath of Yamoshi's death. Maybe New!Broly's full name is Broly Yamoshi, who knows.

Hahaha yeah Broly haters are hilarious. [lol]

Like seriously he may not be the best character but he's no worse than the other movie characters, Hell he's even better in some cases like say Android 13.

Anyone who goes on a rant about how's the worst & some other similar nonsense is just talking outta there ass. [lol][lol]

I've always kinda had a soft spot for Meta Coola, since I his movie was my first exposure to Dragonball period.

I'd never seen anything like it before, and it essentially started my love for the series. While others don't much care for it, it's still got a place in my withered black heart.tongue

Bojack as well, though mostly for brining in Zangya, and for being one of the only movie villains who could be canon without being retconned, like Broly currently is.
