And instead of Vegeta being such a goddamn blubbering pussy about "oh shit, he's the legendary Super Saiyan", he just sits out the fight because he doesn't give a shit.

I want to see some blubbering. I also want some variation on this exchange to be a thing:

  • VEGETA: He's the LEGENDARY Super Saiyan!
  • GOHAN OR TRUNKS: Stop saying that! We're ALL Super Saiyans!

Or possibly

  • BROLY: I have become a legend, Vegeta. The legend that you fear....

[up] To make it funnier, Broly is basically built up to be Saiyan Chuck Norris, but he's also a whiny emo pansy that has an even dumber reason for hating Goku.

BTW, some people are saying over in the You Tube comments that they'll probably abridge World's Strongest when they hit 2,000,000 subscribers. Anyone else have a source for this?

I think the reason people think they're doing World's Strongest for 2 million is because they did Dead Zone for 1 million.

That, and Kaiser said he really wants to do it. It's one of his favourite DBZ movies.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

[up] Oh yes, I saw him gushing over it during his breakdown of the Return of Cooler movie.

Also, the fact that they decided to abridge Return of Cooler despite apparently hating it makes me think they'll soon abridge the first Broly movie.

I almost think that abridging Broly will be difficult for them.

Making fun of things you love is a lot easier than making fun of things you hate.

It hurts me that they hate the return of cooler so much.

It was my first ever exposure to DBZ, and at the time, it was unlike any other anime I'd seen before, so seeing them show so much resentment towards the movie that got me into the series in the first place is kinda frustrating.

But I suppose I take it too personally.

I mean, I think the movie was especially painful to Kaiser as an animator and editor.

I think he'll have problems with Super as well for similar reasons.

[up][up] I can see their reason for disliking it. They obviously had watched the TV series enough to know a lot about it, so of course the movies and their lack of continuity is egregious to them, and seeing the bad animation and lack of consistent logic throughout is even more irritating (some of Kaiser Neko's ranting on it is how it's supposed to be a sequel to Cooler's Revenge, and yet it makes no sense even following it).

I can't blame you for liking it, though, seeing as how that was your introduction to the series. At the time, you of course wouldn't know anything about the various arcs, power ups, and other yadayadayadas that TFS knew about when they'd watched it.

I like Cooler's Revenge (more than I like the first Cooler movie, anyway), but that is one weird ass movie. Even considering that Dragonball movies' plots sometimes rely on "don't worry about it" in general.

Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad!

No, but seriously, to each their own. I don't like Cooler Returns very much either, but it certainly had its moments and, like everything, it was bound to be some people's first. And you always treasure your first.

Return of Cooler is basically a popcorn flick; you know it's crap, but you're only coming in to see people beat the shit out of each other, and dammit does it entertain. It helps that Metal Cooler is a pretty badass idea, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense.

I expect TFS to treat Broly like the Ultramarines in If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device: keep him stupidly OP, and make the jokes center around how completely bullshit that is.

I almost want them to re-abridge World's Strongest first so that they can keep up the "When Broly?" jokes in their live streams.

All the DBZ movies are basically popcorn flicks, all Toei movies are that and follow the exact same crappy ass formula. There is a specific term for that formula in Japanese but I can not remember what it is off hand though.
