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?

They could pull a Garlic Jr and ignore the actual main plot in favor of modifying it to be about something else. Like, turn the whole thing into weirdness with Gohan, Videl, Goten and Trunks.

Finish it with Gohan SSJ2ing and one-shotting Broly? [lol]

Though I'd personally prefer some more of Broly's cool side from his movie, I'd take the comedic anticlimax.

I expect Bio Broly to be a deliberately half-assed one minute short.

This conversation has got me thinking, and I now really want Bojack and his crew to keep and have stereotypical pirate accents. Bojack can totally pull off being a legit threat with "Yarr!", they just need to lean into the whole 'pirate' idea even harder. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies should provide some inspiration.

Wacky personality but legitimate threat is very nice aesthetic. TFS did it with Ginyus, I believe they can do pull it off again.

I feel like TFS could actually make Bojack and his crew into serious pirate villains if they just flood their dialogue with a shit-ton of pirate lingo, just like how Android 13 used rural and western sayings a lot.

I'm just imagining Bojack saying "Keelhaul these landlubbers and send them to Davy Jones' locker!" as a pre-battle order, and if the vocal direction is right, that could be both funny and intimidating at the same time.

Huh, did they, now?

Always though Cooler 2 to be one of their funniest movies.

[up]x2 "Wacky but threatning" is a Dragon Ball staple.

Hence, I imagine, so meny people hating Jiren.

Okay that makes sense.

They probably mean in the eyes of most people, Jiren's too boring to be either of those adjectives.

And I got ninjaed twice.

A fan character who is Jiren's brother (hence the name) that the Latin American fanbase ate up.

Literal translation is "The Brother" and some dumbass thought that an unrevealed figure was going to be Jiren's brother (Video titled "EL HERMANO DE JIREN?!")

It was the most interesting thing about Jiren's character, so I'm not surprised it caught on like fire.

Really says something about a character when making him Sasuke Uchiha makes him more interesting.

At least Sasuke ellicits more reactions than just boredom and indifference.

Not many good reactions but reactions nonetheless

If Super was more self-aware, Jiren would probably be a parody of an arc villain, and maybe is some of that even now with how the rest of his squad are just glorified cheerleaders. Unfortunately, him being teh stronkest is the entire point of his character. He's not a person, but an obstacle, an event for Goku to overcome so he can be teh stronkest now.

So yeah, Sasuke might not be a good character, but he's a character nonetheless.

Well, a lot of people say Manga Jiren is better in that he at least has more characterization. It is true we see a bit more of why he's a hero there, but only a little.

The manga makes him far less antagonistic as well.
