[up][up] I know right?

They're really going all in for this shit. All for the sake of Broly. Seems like they want this movie to be good, and not just a cash grab.

[up][up]Okay, but putting this much effort in costs money, too. Have you SEEN the animation in these trailers?! Either these animators are getting paid out the ass, or they're getting paid standard rates and they're Doing It for the Art. There's no doubt that this is going to make bank, but pouring this much time, effort, and money into it can't be the most lucrative move possible, this is clearly not just to appease the almighty dollar.

Well when you are doing Broly, there are only 2 ways to do him, and those are Maximum & MAXIMUM-ER.

Though it is incredible at the amount of effort they seem to be putting into this. Even Toriyama is a little more enthusiastic than normal.

What the Hell could all this be leading up to?

With "his power is maximum" memes going around it makes me wonder what the guy who did that drawing of Broly all those years ago thinks of this movie

As the expression goes, you gotta spend money to make money. They wouldn't be making these decisions without the expectation that this would increase their return.

Investments in entertainment are a HUGE risk. The more you invest, the higher possible returns but also the greater the risk of losses.

Which is why they're doing it for Broly. He's massively popular, and a tested premise. He doesn't have the same risk that a new villain would have, so if there's ever a time to push, it's now.

They wouldn't put this kind of investment in for any reason other than higher expected returns, short or long term. That's not how businesses are run.

On Broly, I had an idea. It may be a dumb one. I'll leave that up to you guys.

We know that Broly is exiled, yeah? And the latest trailer says Broly isn't a bad person and isn't fighting because he wants to. Well what if Broly was exiled for the same reason as Tarble? What if he was just too docile to cut it as a saiyan?

It's not a big theory and it ultimately wouldn't change anything, but it would be consistent with Toriyama's newer body of work.

What if they bring back Tarble, and it turns out he figured out how to god form on his own. If Broly's the Hulk, then Tarble's the Thing.tongue

[up][up] I don't think that fits. We know from the trailer that King Vegeta sends Broly away because he has more potential than his own son, which pisses off Paragus. Then Vegeta gets destroyed.

I don't think the why's of Broly being sent away are actually specified in the trailer.

Oh, that part isn't from the trailer. It's from the synopsis of the movie that also detailed about Freeza stealing the balls from Bulma's lab.

It’s very, very, VERY far.

It’s why even with using Instant Transmission, it’s still a bitch to get there.

Can't believe it's been almost a week since I started the god poll, let's see the current results:

  • Quitela: 68
  • Beerus: 56
  • Liqour: 42
  • Mosco-Mule: 27
  • Champa: 19
  • Vermoud: 15
  • Geene: 7
  • Helles: 6
  • Sidra: 5
  • Iwen: 4
  • Rumoosh: 4
  • Arak: 3

And people on other forums still question why Quitela is number 1, life is funny.

@Saiga

Well, if Frieza is stealing those balls, I guess that puts a point against the idea that he will be given redemption. I will be happy to see if Broly finds out he was the one who causes his race's extinction.

I also think they are going all the way with this movie with Broly is because he has over the years has become popular and I think Toriyama wanted to give him good characterization that he was lacking in his original film.

I'm trying to imagine a chill Broly hanging around with the cast at Bulma's house.

Well Goku’s the fun one, & Vegeta’s the loud angry one.

So obviously they need the quiet nervous one.

Broly is a soft, sensitive soul.

That was a weird sentence to write.

I so want Broly to become a good guy and a regular character. Retcon him into the End of Z if you have to.

Broly being a regular would be such a game changer that I don't think its gonna stick.

He might live, but I think he'll leave the planet after the fight.

Funny how he has Kale's "uncontrollable power" shtick. People called the latter a knock off, but is cribbing on her traits.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

I think it's more like flanderizing the original concept.

The original Broly seemed to have those traits to an extent - he was uncontrollable in a flashback, but very meek when untransformed. They just didn't have a lot of focus.
