He could be the host of the tournament, there's an actual host...in the movie, but they're never actually on screen I believe.

Probably hard to reconcile active threat Bojack with "Yarr!" Bojack from Season 1 in a way that's still funny and entertaining without reducing the film to a repetitive mess.

That's what I was figuring too. They spent so much time writing Bojack into the Wacky Space Pirate corner and now they suddenly need to make him a legitimate threat.

And his crew, for that matter, and you know his crew has to be a wacky pirate crew now.

It was a cute running gag but they may have inadvertently shot themselves in the foot by featuring it.

It's kinda funny how they're (at least Kaiser) regretting putting Bojack so high on the movie list now

[up][up][up] and [up][up][up][up] Normally I'd agree with you, but canon!Bojack is so....generic that I can't really imagine any spin they do on him being worse. And that's weird because I do like Bojack Unbound but out of all the movie villains he was by far the least gripping. In no small part to his paltry amount of screentime/lines. Truth be told, I think whenever people compliment the Galaxy Soldiers, they're really just thinking about Zangya. Helps that they all look cool at least.

Besides, TFS hit the golden limit of popularity a long time ago; they can put out a repetitive mess but it's still going to get a lot of praise.

They've honestly had worse character ideas work out in the end. For example: instead of being a Goku Black prototype, Turles turns out to be this crazy Grinch with a merry band of misfits.

The trucker hat is one thing but didn't the Funimation Dub gave 13 the Southern accent(and Gero being in the backup unit)?

Depressive pirate is what I expect. Because the name Bojack now carries some additional meanings.

If we're saying "Bojack isn't a valid threat" because he was given a sillier characterization - a wacky pirate personality - I think it's fair to point this scene as a counterpoint:

They still exaggerate his obsession with his hat, but he's still (kind of) a valid threat.

It might also just be that the film isn't giving them a lot to work with.

Last time they expressed uncertainty as to whether or not their version of a film was going to be entertaining, we got Cooler 2: The Return of Cooler's Revenge - The Reckoning.

Which, while not their finest work, did still have quite a few bits to enjoy in there. And I also appreciated the unambiguous sequel titling, in contrast to the confusing Revenge/Returns dynamic of the original Cooler films.

EDIT: Oh my god.

I just realized.

Guys.

When they get to Bio-Broly.

It will at last be Kriller Time.

To clarify, I'm not saying that silly "Yarr!" Bojack can't headline the film. It's just difficult to do it right, which is probably part of why scripting was so hard.

I can see them taking the opportunity of the movies being non-canon as hell to suddenly make Krillin a stone-cold badass for that movie.

Broly 2 and Bio-Broly would be easier since, while they royally hate them it's also a hell of a lot easier to parody a bad movie.

That and Satan and 18 in Bio.

I think Broly 2 might be difficult. Half the movie is just fighting Broly again, and they've already lampooned the hell out of him. What's left to mock?
