Said, actor would latter grow into a hairy, alien, kiju which could shoot lasers out of its eyes and fight the Great Sayaman on the outskirts of Tokyo Tower.

Actually, now that I read it, it dose sound a lot like the Ozaru doesn't it?

Basically, it's Dragon Ball's take on Venom.

I think it’s just a general parasite alien.

Nothing about it really brought to mind Venom.

Yeah. He basically gets stronger based on how evil the person he possesses is, and Barry Khan...was a massive dick face.

Gohan still stomped him in the end, but the alien would be horrifically dangerous if he got his hands on pre heel face turn Vegeta, or even Frieza...

And now I'm remembering that thanks to Goku and Company, not only is Frieza once again able to start slapping the entire universe around, but the only group opposing them is Galactic Police who couldn't do much when the group was around previously, and are implied to not be much use post Frieza.

So basically, the universe is utterly boned.

While I don't doubt that such an attitude is a part of Superman's history, I'll forever deny that it's part of his character.

A properly written Superman would not say that.

Goku wouldn't say it either, he just wouldn't consider the obvious implications. Neither would anyone else in the group, apparently, and if they do they don't care.

Who?

All the people who could stop him either live on Earth and have no interest in the wider universe, or are Beerus, who flat out doesn't care about Mortal affairs.

There's no one to stop him at all.

It should also be mentioned that "all those characters" is 3 people. Freeza is the fourth most powerful person in Universe 7, and the only people who can possibly stop him are Goku, Vegeta, and Beerus. Broly maybe, but he hasn't been introduced yet, so we don't know what his current situation is.

And none of them care enough to actually stop him.

It’s even worse in Beerus’ case since it’s sorta part of his job to handle people like Frieza.

Yeah, Beerus sucks at his job. The only God of Destruction who's worse is Sidre, who's just too nice for the responsibility of destroyer god.

Which is why I will not shed any tears if Broly really does kill him.

Both manga and anime interpretation does not exactly show him being nice. He annihilated a understandably panicking city in the anime and was hesitant to destroy a planet because he was worrying about making a mistake, which would apparently anger the Grand Priest, as he says so himself.

HA! It totally is Goku's fault given what ultimately happened in the Tournament of Power. Hell, there was a very real chance Frieza could have been the last one standing...

Honestly you could wrangle a legitimately effective moral out of this whole story. "No matter how bad your situation is, don't go running to monstrous people for help. They'll only fuck up your situation more."

Hell, I think that's a good one.

[up] City gets destroyed, inhabitants Deader than Dead and again given the TOP's resolution it didn't need to happen. Sidra really is shitty at his job.

Alright they released new character posters for the movie.

Rather bland & boring because of the white background but hey at least we get to see Bulma & by the looks of it baby Trunks (I call the kid baby cause he still looks the same as always) new outfits in full detail.

Trunks is bare minimum 14-15 years old in this movie (since Bra was born before the U.S. arc and she's younger than 4 year old Pan at the EOZ, marking this as 6+ years after Buu) yet still looks 8. Lazy, plain and simple.

I don't understand why people thought they would get redesigns. Judging from Goku's conversation with Whis in the trailer, it hasn't been that long since the Tournament of Power. A couple weeks, at most.

I guess people thought the artstyle shift would be enough to warrant it.

And it would be, if they cared enough about the characters to update them.

But at this point it's clear that they won't be updated just to better reflect their age. We won't get an update unless we hit EOZ era.

I could see them getting aged up after a timeskip where Pan also turns into a toddler. As it is, they're no smaller than Goku was at their age, so it doesn't bother me.

No Gohan was definitly bigger at that point. I think their older than Teen Gohan was.

Gohan actually did age & slowly grew over the course of the series.

These two look like their perpetually stuck in the same age as if their late-bloomers.
