I think this is the first time they threw the towel with the Dragon Ball side material.

They managed to get through Episode of Bardock, Cooler 2 and Broly, but Bojack? Nope can't do that.

That movie has gotta be a chore for them to get through.

(I'm not blaming them, i'm ok with this)

This really says a lot about Bojack.

Like yeah they were able to find material for every other movie, even giving Broly the guy they hate a ton of jokes.

Yet with Bojack they got nothing because he gave them nothing to work with.

I'm pretty sure that the only reason they put them that high in D Bcember was because they where hyped on this being Gohan's movie at the time.

Because aside from that it has nothing for it.

It also has other characters interacting, usually the best part of those films, no?

[up][up]Well, yes...

Bojack doesn't have "as" much of that as the other movies...because of the tournament really.

Most of the time, the characters are just making side comments.

I think this also deconfirms the rest of the OG Broly movies since I doubt they get anything from them either.

The revelation of Trunk's uncle, and Vegeta's future headache, is classic. I wonder if that means that Bulma believes that Vegata and Nappa are related ?

[up][up] Yeah, that was my first reaction too. If they couldnt get enough to make something out of Bojack, it’s not looking good for Broly 2 and especially Bio-Broly.

Wouldn't they really just need a setup for Bio-Broli?

I'd make it a meta joke about Nappa wanting to make a Broly vs Mr Satan movie but it going wrong

Just make Bio-Broly Abridged a 30-second clip of them burning a DVD copy.

Bio-Broly is a guilty pleasure of mine. I really like the movie, but...

... eh...

The main antagonist literally has the personality of a bowl of flan. It’s basically DBZ vs The Blob, except without any of the Blob’s It Can Think moments. Like, imagine all the gripe about Jiren being bland, if Jiren didn’t even have his backstory, never spoke at all, and was also Meltman.

The other antagonists are a bit character you mind recognize from Broly 2 but probably won’t, and the obligatory throwaway “idiot who lets loose the monster” character. The set up for the plot is fun, the actual plot is barely carried by anything.

Much like Bojack, literally the only thing going for it is that it’s a movie starring atypical characters: Goten, Trunks and 18 - giving them some fun focus moments and cool action scenes. But if that didn’t save Bojack, it’s not going to save Bio-Broly.

I don't know about Second Coming but I can absolutely see material coming from Bio-Broly.

I'm pretty sure Bojack's problem isn't necessarily that it's bad, just so very boring.

I had assumed they were super excited about Bojack, because they had introduced him as a character so early when there was no need for them to do so. I guess the fact that they stopped making reference to his presence was a bad sign.

At least there's a convenient reason for Bardock to not be around: that being Cell blowing him the fuck up.

Admitelly, this is the point when Dragon Ball movies become annoyingly formulaic and uninspired, and given they've been doing this for over a decade, I can understand being burnt out.

Bojack is a good fun movie, but yeah since so much of the movie is focused on the tournament Bojack himself gets very little screentime and it would be very hard for him to comedy bounce off people.

They had to force stuff for Super Android 13 as well. This doesn't surprise me the more I think about it.
