Actually I think his muscles have gotten smaller.

He doesn’t look like a steroid user that’s about to pop anymore.

Me as a teenager: Oh man. Broly has such a lame backstory and is totally flat as a character. Broly is lame.

Me as an adult: Oh! Man, I don't watch Dragon Ball for the character development! Broly is so much fun to watch kick ass! He's awesome!

It was the opposite for me. I liked him as a kid, but i don't as an adult. It's similar to my relationship with Marvel's Venom.

Because both look cool, but ultimately don't have much substance.

I still like them, they still have a place in my fanboy heart, but these days i realize there are better villains in both of those franchises.

I'm pretty ambivalent about Broly and I think I always have been. I will say that not watching something for the character development doesn't preclude finding a character's motivations or story ridiculous and stupid.

Okay I have to say I’ve been getting a disturbed feeling due to noticing how there’s a rather elitist vibe going on from Broly haters.

And i've experienced the opposite, i've seen more toxic elitist from the Broly fans side, especially those calling Toriyama senile.

But it's far more likely that we have toxic fans on both sides.

Well that’s how fandom goes.

There’s always a toxic element involved.

Very true, unfortunately.

Anyway, looking at the high res image of his new look, i dig it. Though i think he looks better with the armor.

[up][up][up][up][up] Look at his hair in that figure and look at it on the poster. Its very clearly stylized after a normal Super Saiyan form, which is separate from his Legendary Super Saiyan form.

I think its a design mistake to give him Saiyan/Freeza armor.

Does it matter? It seem like he's going to break it once he transforms.

It doesn't matter. It just makes him feel that much more generic. Now he dresses like all of the other saiyans.

Yeah, Broly having all that jewelry made him stand out pretty nicely.

Dude was secure enough to accessorize. Also something something mind control but also, he just knew how to look good.

I mean, its still recognizably Broly, so its not like its that drastic.

Apparently something about them regenerating from the nucleus of the Cell Jrs Gohan killed. They've been tamed by 17 and don't attack anyone with a ranger band. Or at least that's what someone in the comments said.

Holy shit that's awesome!

Where was this shit as a fun filler arc during the Tournament of Power? We needed something like this!

I also agree that I miss Broly's jewelry. He still has his tail right? I know Toriyama has declared war on all Saiyan tails, but with him wearing the armour again, at least having his tail will differentiate him from all the remaining saiyans left...

I wonder if Toriyama will considering poaching SSJ 4 too. He did say he liked it, and it's very different from the regular saiyan forms, or even the god forms. It feels like it would fit Broly more with his more feral and berserk nature.

So which villains have not in some way but heel face turned of some sort?

Yamcha for all not a great villain he was, Mai in the futuuuuurrrre, Tien and Chatozu, Piccolo, Vegeta, Freeza, two Androids and a bunch of Cell Jrs, and Buu.

Thats missing only Pilaf and Commander Red?

It did feel like they were setting up for something like that.
