I actually think Frost was intended to be eviler than in the manga since both versions had him team up with Freeza during the Tournament of Power using the same justification: that they both love to rule with an iron fist.

It also makes Vegeta's insistence on kicking his ass make even less sense if Frost is just an impatient cheater. I think anime Frost is closer to what the character was intended to be.

I do think it would be interesting to see an actual non-evil version of Frieza. Or a member of his race that is not evil like him.

Careful what you wish for. The next movie may see Cooler join Goku's battle harem if you're not careful.

Dragon Ball is just a harem anime, except instead of romantic interests, it's martial arts rivals.

We already have the Tsundere Ojou, the childhood friend who also doubles as a loli, the mysterious assassin with a soft spot for the MC, the Cat Girl and the Cool Big Sis .

...God I need to know if Broly turns good.

I don't need to know how, necessarily, but. I do need to know.

I will love it if Broly turns good and joins the group, especially given the direction this movie seems to take him

There's something cute and hilarious about it

Frieza wishes to be taller because he's jelous of Cooler. Also a Broly shower scene.

Supposedly...

Ok, anyone want to make bets about Janemba becoming canon? Or Bojack? Or any other movie villain?

Okay apparently, while I don't know if Broly becomes a member of the team, it sounds like he and Goku end the movie on friendly terms. It also sounds like there's a neat moment where Goku calls himself Kakarot and Broly repeats it softly.

Hah.

Sounds like Toriyama wants to take the character in a very different direction from what Toei did. And for once, I got no complaints. Cooler becoming canon is also a surprise (how are they gonna explain that).

I still think the wish about being taller is kinda dumb and a waste, but there you go. This movie sounds good.

in context of Resurrection F and Super, holy shit Cooler must suck.

Like. Sorbet was in charge. Of the biggest and most stable remnant of their entire organization.

That is, unless just like in his movie, he runs his own group. Maybe it wasn't just the planets Freeza had conquered that were causing him trouble. Perhaps Cooler started making territory grabs in order to assert his own control.

I mean. Isn't it mentioned by Jaco or the Galactic King that they've stopped having problems and are actually able to govern and police the galaxy without Freeza? Or am I forgetting or misremembering something?

Maybe the reason we haven't heard of Cooler is probably because he's a chill guy compared to his family. Like, a lizard Tarble but tall.

I want to know who's idea it was to canonize Cooler: Toei and Toriyama?

Since it's the latter's script, I'd assume it was him, but it's not really clear.

I always pictured Sorbet's biggest threat as being Jaco.

Which is a perfect illustration of just how far they'd fallen without Freeza.

EDIT: Characters having secret brothers and those brothers being weak and useless and not mattering is pretty Toriyama to me.

Heh. It really is isn't it?

Although in the movie, Goku claimed Coola was stronger than Freeza in his Shredder Form. I always figured it as maybe he'd surpassed Freeza in the time since the latter's death, but was still inferior to Super Saiyan Goku (and that he was theoretically more dangerous since he had better control).

We'll see how it goes. It's safe to say Freeza is stronger now, whatever they decide.

Although in the movie,

Those old movies don't matter though.

The new Broly is so radically different in personalitt and concept as well as power scale.
