Someone already posted that. Just five posts above yours. A cursory glance at the (then) current page would've shown it was already there.

[up] (5) Piccolo is also a big muscle guy who yells and overpowers everyone, and he's green-colored like the Hulk, and he's, well he's not unpopular, but seemingly not as much as Broly is.

I'm torn between wanting to watch all this content and wanting to in blind. I wasn't as technologically connected back when I had Budokai 1 to 3 and Tenkaichi 1 and 3. Each game was one giant adventure... that I had studied and repeated numerous times granted.

Seriously, this is why Broly's popular.

And quite frankly, it always pissed me off that the fanbase somehow Flanderized him to "dumb brute who does nothing but yell Kakorot."

The fan-base didn't do that...

The 2nd movie did.

And the games.

This game fun as hell, but damn am I rusty at the Tenkaichi controls. Then again, it's been almost 2 decades since BT3. I'll figure it out eventually.

Early copy? Different region? Demo?

I thought this wasn't out until the 10th.

Nice.

Also, I just caught a spoiler what-if What if Goku went Super Saiyan against Vegeta on Youtube because the Youtube algorithm sucks. And I have to hand it to you - I actually did not expect that.

The game has some cool pre fight banter.

Like Cabba having unique dialogue with Uub, because they are Vegeta's and Goku's pupils and Zamasu and Garlic Jr. Talking about how they both wished for Immortality.

Yeah Broly actually had a personality and was legit scary in the first film. Than the second turned him into a dumb brute and the games copied it and the rest is history.

[up][up]Well, fair enough I guess, though tbh, I don't think I've ever even watched the other two Broly movies. I will say that the are certain BigNameFans who act like Z Broly was always written that way and they really should know better.

The second sequel is not about Broly, it's about his clone, so it cannot be said it Flanderizes Broly himself. It has its own ratio of issues but the Flanderization is on the first sequel's doorstep.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

Broly suffers a bit from Audience-Coloring Adaptation in regards to Second Coming — while the first movie starts with him wanting to kill Kakarot cause it reminds him of that traumatic event where he almost died (YMMV on that), Second Coming really ramps up his hatred of Kakarot, especially when he mistakes Goten, his son who looks almost exactly like him, for the older saiyan, which would then kind of be repeated for future things

Uh understandable. Magenta would be needed at minimum for it. Maybe we'll get one in the super dlc pack.

To be fair, pretty much all of Z Broly's dialogue in the first movie was just "look at me losers I'm so eeeeeevil!"

It's definitely a level of depth above "rawr Kakarot!", but not much of one. Arguably, a case could be made that the reason the simplistic characterization stuck around more is because the simplistic characterization was - ironically - more distinctive.

Uh. Tbf outside of cooler whose just Frieza lite. And maybe Turles. Dbz film vilains tend to have basic as hell personalities.

Since their painfully obviously just ripoffs off the shows better villains.

But none of them went through a personality shift (multiple, even) in future movies that resulted in a personality the audience latched onto more.

And even then, I'd argue that Broly Movie 1 is still more basic than Cooler or Turles were. That's not saying much for either of them, but he's still a level below most of his contemporaries.

He's better than Bojack, at least.

Huh Videl, chi chi and Bulmas dialogue describing the characters has a hint to Daima's plot.

when they get to taking about Dabura. They wonder what his family feel now that he's gone and how the demon realm ia handling not having a king

It seems like the game can't make up its mind on what form Future Trunks (Super)'s transformation is meant to be, the game calls it Super Saiyan, but it has the blue and gold aura of Super Saiyan Rage, and Goku calls it Super Saiyan 2 in Episode Mode. It's like the devs just decided to mix all of Future Trunks' transformations into a single character slot.

[up] Maybe Daima will finally canonize Towa and Mira.

They brought back the encylopedia from Budokai Tenkaichi 3, now with Bulma and videl joining Chi Chi:

Them all being based on Super makes them not knowing who any of the GT or Movie characters are is a nice attention to detail.

The What if where Gohan Black exists, even down to Fused Zamasu having Ultimate Gohans hair style but silver is a great attention to detail.
