The thing about the first Broly film is that it actually has a plot besides "a bunch of guys show up and now we must fight them." Granted it's not a GOOD plot.

Isn't Gohan a Super Saiyan in the first Broly movie?

They probably need to wait on it a bit.

And the common fan theory is that it happens during the wait for the Cell Games, so. They might stick it in there.

...Are they going to be able to abridge Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans? I think that was released fairly recently.

...Yeah, I want the "When Broly" jokes to continue.

Broly even had SOME potential as a villain. Minus the whole "Goku cries really loud" bit, imagine the amount of trauma a kid goes through from having been stabbed by his own dad as a baby for being as strong as he was. If they had expanded a bit on it, then he could have had some actual depth outside of "LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN POWER IS MAXIMUM ARGH KAKAROT VIC MIGNONA LOST HIS VOICE AFTER ALL OF THESE MOVIES HOW THE HELL DOES HE STILL HAVE IT".

Broly also has to carry three films worth of jokes, so he can't lampoon him as being too dumb.

Well, two films and a third where he inexplicably returns as a acid-blob monster clone.

[up] Third film doesn't really count since it's a clone.

Broly doesn't need to do anything except be made fun of. The 3rd Broly film is really about his clone anyway.

Bio Broly was bad but with some great stuff in it.

Like, I think it might be Android 18's biggest role outside the Android Saga.

Which is sad, but.

Her interacting with Hercule was kinda funny.

imagine the amount of trauma a kid goes through from having been stabbed by his own dad as a baby for being as strong as he was

He wasn't stabbed by his dad.

He was stabbed by Vegeta's dad.

[up] Oh yeah, I forgot...wait, then why does he hate Goku so much if Vegeta's dad literally tried to kill him as a kid? Wouldn't it make more sense to try and kill Vegeta? I mean, Vegeta looks a lot like his dad, only thing missing is facial hair!

He hates Vegeta too.

Paragus hates Vegeta a little more than Broly does, but. Neither of them like him.

Broly hates everyone. You can't even begin to imagine the pain he feels inside. No one can ever hope to understand him.

Yeah, Broly is deep, man. Just read his new book, I Had To Listen To Crying. I hear the movie adaptation is a work of fucking art. It got awarded 11 Coolers at the Space Academy Awards.

[up]x12 Which made it even worse than the others, at least mindless action can be entertaining.

[up] Woah Woah WOAH now that was uncalled for, comparing anything to Broly is unconscionable.

[up][up]Not going to lie, I kind of hope they go the Emo Teen route with Broly.

What, given the terrible theme Funimation gave him in the dub:

I have not seen Broly so I do not have a opinion.

But you make him sound like he's worse than Shinji who needs to stop crying and GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT!!!

Naw, he's more like the Hulk.

Except that him always being angry is no secret.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up][up] You can find it in the Space Romantic Dramas section of Buzz & Armstrongs under the pen name Space Nicholas Sparks.

The movie starred Troll Channing Tatum as a young boy trying to make it in the world and Space Australia's very own Space Hugh Jackman as a single dad who just doesn't understand his son, with Space George Lopez as the bully whose crying traumatizes our young protagonist, and Troll Rachel Weisz as the young bland love interest that gets out protagonist to control his life and make it better, through the power of objectivism and finding and unleashing his inner beast

Broly has really flat characterization from the looks of it.

As for Super Android 13, clever use of the Spirit Bomb for a power boost to deal with Android 13.

As I understand it, even Japan hates him.

It's rare for both sides to agree on something like that.

I kinda want them to make Broly a psycho version of Abridged Recoome. Take the wrestling jokes, amp them up a few notches, and make him psychotic.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?
