@Slimcoder: Actually, it was Richard Donner who added the Jesus Allegory waaaaaay back in the 70s.

Cold is specifically said to be weaker than Freeza, so he almost definitely can't transform whatever he is.

...He might be able to go down to something more like Freeza's form one though.

Freeza and Cold apparently don't train, they're mutants with freakishly high natural-born power levels but a member of Freeza's race that trained could get stronger and once their power level was high enough they could make a new form that way.

It's admittedly unclear exactly how much of what Freeza is like is because he's a mutant. But the Power Level is apparently part of it.

Man of Steel was a better Dragon Ball movie than Evolution.

...Not that that says much.

I've heard people who were fans of Superman and Dragon Ball say the movie was way more like the Saiyan Saga than any other Superman story.

I don't know about that, but.

I think it's interesting to ask which way people think the influence has gone.

It just occurred to me that Vegeta has to still be at least a few years older than Goku and Broly because of Vegeta's flashback in Battle of Gods.

[up][up] People say that because of the high-octane action scenes could fit very well in Dragon Ball.

Snyder for all his flaws in filmmaking can do action scenes pretty good.

Vegeta's like five years older than Goku, right? Chronologically, at least.

...Out of curiosity, do we know how old Raditz was?

I think Raditz was in his thirties when he was offed so around a decade older than Kakarot at the least.

Also, the only purpose a Cooler movie would have is giving Freeza's race an actual freaking name

The idea of Raditz as a put-upon loser babysitter is appealing.

Let's be real, most people are here for Broly. I don't know how the minus stuff would affect the movie

I know Minus is pretty unpopular where I lurk, here and elsewhere

Maybe I will feel the same when I watch the Bardock and Gogeta movie special November.

I just dislike the Minus stuff on principle

So seeing it animated in a Triple-A movie is pretty annoying.

I'm not even sure what's in Minus beyond Goku's mom appearing in it.

Retconing a beloved special, making Bardock less unique and a few other things that conflict with what DBZ established a few years ago

There’s also revealing Goku’s mom to be a weak kind-woman.

Plus her job makes her look like a housewife.

[up] It’s enough.
