IIRC the cyborgs were needed by Cell to hasten his metamorphosis; truth to be told the whole puking 18 and reverting only made sense as a way of getting her to the lookout and get on with Krillin.

I think it depends on how seriously they portray Cell. For example, in the hero and villain plots of FighterZ's story mode, he doesn't really give a shit about them and he's one of the funniest characters in the game. Meanwhile, in the Android plot, he's in the mood to eat the Androids and he's portrayed as seriously as Imperfect Cell in the show.

Cell temporarily powered up by absorbing Goku in GT, so the IP holders seem to think he can.

@Eriorguez: And yet people complain that the first Budokai game lets you punch Cell out of his perfect state.

So, you all actually excited for the movie? I admit, I'm fairly curious now.

I am indeed very excited for it.

It feels like they are actually putting a great deal of effort into it & I don't just mean the animation.

Hopefully all this stuff about 3 destined Saiyan's & a deeper look back on Saiyan history actually leads up to something good.

As a fan of the old Broly movies and general enjoyment of the DBZ movies I'm very excited for what potentially can come from this.

Best case scenario: It's a legitimately great movie.

Worst case scenario: It can't be any worse than Evolution.

Either way, it will probably have Gogeta so I'm in.

Well this is another one being handled directly by Toriyama right?

He's 1 for 1 on that front, so we'll see how he handles things. This is also the second time he's handled a character he never created as well.

My only issue with his version of Broly is the decision to default to Saiyan armour (and to be honest, I'm surprised Broly still even has a tail, considering the anti tail rampage he went on), as I liked Broly's most out there look compared to Goku and Vegeta, but we'll see how things go.

Wasn't Resurrection F pretty directly Toriyama?

I'd call that 1 for 2.

...Or, to be fair, 2 for 2 depending on what curve you're grading on.

Resurrection F was still better than any of Broly's other movies.

If Resurrection F is as bad as it can get, I'd still call it a win.

I liked Broly's first movie, but I can't just second coming or Bio-Broly (well, I can't judge Second Coming, as Bio-Broly is apparently so bad there's no need to see it).

The diffence here is that Toriyama apparently wrote a lot, a lot of shit for Broly.

Resurrection F though was rather lacking in material.

I'm pretty sure that Toriyama wrote the "power level of 1.3 million" in Resurrection F, because he forgot any of the power levels he wrote at the time, and the inspiration for the movie was apparently Maximum the Hormone's 'F' he probably mostly remembered the "and he has a power level of 530,000" line in the song.

I'm intrigued about how this is gonna go, honestly, especially for how they're going to characterize the equally awesome and stupid Hulk manbaby we all know and have disagreements about.

Since when is killing people the main measure of evil? By that logic, Gohan is more evil than most of the franchise's villains just on his body count alone.

[up] Well you know those two Frieza underlings that the movies announced?

From the info released they are apparently to have some kind of interaction with Broly.

So I'm assuming there purpose is to possibly humanize him by giving him relationships beyond wanting to kill people.

I admit, the latest trailer got me a bit intrigued. I want to actually know where this goes now. Hopefully we get more than just a popcorn flick of fancy fight scenes and get an honest to god good plot to go along with it.

Like, there's so much to speculate now. I really hope the movie doesn't collapse on itself trying to fit all of this stuff in.

We all know that you can do better than "hates Goku because he cried a lot as a baby"

And better yet, we already had an stupidly powerful antagonist just because in canon before. It's called Jiren. tongue

Jiren was a lot better than Old!Broly. He may have had some characterization issues early on, but his character arc over the last 3 or 4 episodes of Super was quite well-written. Not ideal, but they salvaged him at the last minute.
