Trucker hats are an incredibly source of power.

If any of the Z Warriors wore one, they'd be able to defeat Beerus.tongue

There's also Turles, of course Bojack, & Slug isn't really that much of a good villain only held up by the rarity of Namekian villains.

Broly has some shit his own, he's a laughing mad Berserker, he fights like a wrestler, uses ki grenades & barriers to great effect, & the Legendary Super Saiyan concept is quite cool even if they never used it properly.

Of the pre-Super movie villains, picking a favorite is hard. I don't really like any of them. Maybe Garlic Jr, for having a backstory that ties back into Kami? Obviously, Beerus blows all of them out of the water, but he really shouldn't be included.

Freeza counts as a movie villain now...

Lucky him, now no one has to choose Cooler.

Yeah, despite being taller, he tends to travel with a smaller group of elite soldiers instead of a bunch of mooks.

I guess for pre-Super movie villains I'd got with Garlic Jr as well: while he's not necessarily a better character wise than any of the others, but the mystical/divine leanings are fun.

My favorite movie is Wrath of the Dragon, but the villains in that one aren't the most interesting bunch.

My favorite one is Janemba because of his origin and powers. The lack of character actually helps him too, because it's deliberate.

@ slimcoder While all the other movie villains might not necessarily have been more interesting, they have sure as hell been less annoying.

If only for the sole fact that none of them screamed 'Kakarott!' for 90% of their lines.

Why is "Pre-super movie" being said?

The one movie coming out after Super isn't even much of a thing yet.

[up]90% of Brocc's lines are from the 1st movie...

[up][up] Yeah as [up] said Broly only started screaming Kakarot all the time in the second movie which are widely regarded as just plain bad movies like Meta Cooler's movie.

In his first he actually had dialogue till Second Coming flandarized him into a truly one-note brute so get your facts straight there.

Broly's only annoying cause he has really obssesive fans. If Broly fans were Cooler fans then we'd be complaining about him.

Cooler didn't get flanderized horribly in his sequel. He basically became a completely different character, sure, but he was at least still a character.

Yeah Brolly had some pretty good lines in the first film.

  • Broly: Then please - do your best to make me kneel before you!

  • Broly: [throws the remains of the Saiyan pod into a comet] Did he really think I would die just because this planet is about to explode?

  • Broly: In a rocket built for one person?

  • Broly: kakarot, how much do you love your son?

[up]Going to assume you're talking about the promo anime, and Episode Two featuring Golden Cooler hasn't come out yet (I believe on July 16th). The manga adaptation, however, has reached that point.

The first episode is pretty serviceable and inoffensive (key terms here) for what it is: a bite-size Dragon Ball side story with moderate amounts of the expected fanservice so far.

Animation and voice-acting is competent enough, but the aspect that really stuck out to me the most was the groovy score done by Yuya Mori (who apparently did stuff for Black Clover?) Honestly, I would love to have them back for a future Dragon Ball thing, 'cause their tunes are surprisingly catchy, varied, and scene-setting for something as small-time as this web-series.

The anime's lackluster if one was interested in seeing its biggest draw: Time Patroller Goku:Xeno versus (a version of) Super's Goku fight. Incredibly short, and even the circumstances of the fight changed from both the arcade and manga versions just to be a "little" clever on Goku: Xeno's part.

Which is pretty evident as a result of the short pacing, considering its runtime is 6-8 minutes if one skips the (recycled) intro. It has one of DB(S)'s better writers from Toei, but one could definitely tell that, despite checking off the standard plot points needed to set-up this arc, it needed a little more time to breathe.

Man, Heroes is weird. Not bothering to put spoiler tags because I doubt anyone cares. Cumber being so evil that his battle aura is The Corruption is actually kind of neat, but Super Saiyan Goku going berserk amounted to literally nothing. Cooler goes Golden just to prove he can, and then blows all of his energy to one-shot Berserk Goku trying to prove that he's stronger than Freeza, which actually makes him look much weaker since Berserk Goku wasn't even in Blue.

The Berserk forms are weird, though. They all seem related to Super Saiyan 2 in some way.

[up]I think the look of Goku's Berserk form was more or less circumstantial to being infected by Cumber's aura while in Super Saiyan 2, and not necessarily a new mutated Super Saiyan form inspired by SSJ 2 altogether.


For those wondering about an American release, the Super Movie is coming in January 2019 (roughly a month after its JPN version) with a dub. Unknown about sub dates, but Funimation usually provides both based on previous releases.
Also, a new promo companion site to the Super Movie just popped up. The most important take away is a prize involving a sticker set featuring some first look (re)designs from the new movie (albeit, a little blurry).

Notably Piccolo, Bulma, Broli [Super Saiyan (Berserk)] and Super Saiyan God Goku.
