Even if he doesn't get the parts, he does have stretchy limbs. You don't have to think hard to imagine what he could do with those.

I’m pretty sure the guy who was effectively raised by Nappa, Frieza, & King Vegeta wouldn’t be that either.

Seriously what about the guy who abandoned the girl he knocked up for a couple years qualify as good boyfriend/husband material?

Between Kale and the new Broly movie, I'm getting excited for whenever Team Four Star abridges Broly Second Coming, since there'll be so much new material to riff on.

They're making a NEW Broly movie?

Yes. Yes they are.

Broly is now part of DB canon. Prepare for madness.

But didn't Super go out of the way to show that the Broly movies weren't canon? Are these new movies continuing on from the last time we saw Broly, or are we getting a rebooted Broly?

So... wait... the teased Saiyan movie turned out to be a Broly movie all along? That's... both somewhat expected and a teensy bit disappointing.

It's a new version of Broly, yeah

Toriyama is essentially doing his own version of the character.

Considering how well his Bardock story went, I can understand some people being apprehensive (especially since Broly also has his haters) but Rob is taking a wait and see attitude.

I think the only problems with Broly are that his motivations are the most laughably stupid of any non-comedic Dragon Ball villain and he's always a one-man wrecking crew that gets beaten by a deus ex machina.

I mean, if they can learn from the mistakes of the old Broly and give him a decent motivation, then yeah, this would be a good thing.

Toriyama's statement was basically:

"Have you heard about this Broly guy? Apparently, he's pretty popular, and even though I apparently helped designed him, I had completely forgotten about him. My producer said he should be in the new movie, so I went back and re-watched his old movies. I think he's lame, but I can salvage his character by rewriting his personality and origin. Look forward to my better Broly in the new movie!"

Well, color me intrigued. My disdain for Toei's slapdash "additions" to the continuity is well-known, but I'm quite interested to see what Toriyama can come up with to fix one of their characters.

If this experiment goes well, I might start hoping he watches some of the other movies.

[up][up] I feel like bringing back Freeza was a worse idea than rebooting Broly, and in terms of writing ROF is probably the worst DB product Toriyama had a hand in.

So I at least expect it to be better than that. Low bars and all.

Yeah. I find it strange that Toriyama is going back to old ideas and concepts like this, when he's always been kinda about moving forward. If you thought you'd want to come back to Frieza, then maybe you shouldn't have killed him off.

Though I can't fault him for not considering that at the time. What is strange is that when an old villain returns, they usually turn out to have not level grinded enough (it's not that they aren't stronger than before, it's just that whatever increase in power they've received badly pales in comparison to the levels the heroes are at, Goku in particular), but for Frieza, he actually didn't do this (it would have been a poor movie if he did...well, poorer than it already was). While the concept of Frieza actually bothering to train to bring out more of his latent power is interesting, the jump is pretty ridiculous and this is in a series where everyone gets ridiculous jumps in power.

He must really like Frieza if he went to the effort to make him a threat again, and this is after having him as a Red Herring at the beginning of the Android saga too.

If you thought you'd want to come back to Frieza, then maybe you shouldn't have killed him off.

He obviously wasn't thinking that when he killed Freeza 27 years ago.

It just wasn't his style at the time, which shows how much things have changed.

Well, I'll say this much: if Toriyama is going back to old concepts (whether his own or Toei's) than it's finally time for the triumphant return of Launch!tongue

Their assertion of hating on Broly has honestly gotten old.
