I thought he was changing it up a little.

I'm a little surprised Cooler "fuck this movie" 2 hasn't shown up as the very bottom. Maybe it's just because editing it was a bitch that he was so vocal.

From what I can tell, that's Bio-Broly's sole appeal.

I mean, I can understand why people would like the fact that Android 18 is given focus. Super barely gives her any fighting time, and a lot of people are fans of her, so of course they'd want to see more of her.

On the other hand, Goten and Kid Trunks are not as popular amongst some people (especially Kid Trunks, since he's not Future Trunks), which definitely ticked some people off.

Well, I do prefer Future Trunks to Kid Trunks, but as far as children in media go, Goten and Trunks are actually pretty decent.

And it was great to finally see 18 and Krillin doing stuff and doing stuff together.

I mean, the actual antagonist was dumb, but then again, so is normal Broly.

Broly sucks. The only thing I liked about him was that Vic Mignona did his voice, and judging by a video of him at a con talking about when he got the role, I feel sorry for him ever time he does anything Broly related. Dude lost his voice nearly every time he had to scream KAKAROT (keep in mind he's not only a voice actor but a singer as well...kind of a pain in the ass when he's got a gig lined up and he just finished recording lines for a DBZ video game).

I'm one of those who really likes 18, but dislikes kid Trunks and especially Goten.

Dislike for Trunks makes some kind of sense, I can see it.

Goten is literally one of the most inoffensive kid characters, that I can only assume people dislike him purely for existing.

Yeah, same here.

There's very little reason to dislike Goten at all.

The only reason I can think of to dislike Goten is that he's exactly like Goku, but that's only true as far as his physical appearance goes; personality wise he seems pretty different.

And we already know that when he gets older he decides to change his look to not be identical to his dad.

Edit: But hey, people will dislike who they dislike.

I liked Bio-Broly too. More than Broly 2, at any rate.

It's stupid and ridiculous, but it's a fun stupid and ridiculous. The focus on non-Goku/Gohan/Vegeta characters helps. Even Goten and Trunks got more or less equal prominence with 18 and Krillin.

It probably would've been better if the Bio-Warrior hadn't been a Broly clone and had just been its own monster, though. He only spends like five seconds looking like Broly anyway.

Yeah, Broly was kinda extraneous.

I bet it made more money with Broly in the title, though.

Also, why do people hate Bio-Broly more than the other Broly movies?

Bio-Broly was boring as shit. Like, it's sole redeeming quality is it's the one movie in the franchise that didn't treat Krillin like the Comic Relief.

One of the other Broly movies (how many were there?) had Shakespearean Paragus in a dub, so it had that going for it.

I'm offended by Goten going Super Saiyan while sparring against Chi-Chi, and the kids equaling 18, and I didn't find their storyline interesting or worth the time spent on it, compared to other characters.

#15943: Dec 2nd 2015 at 8:14:14 PM

I think there were three Broly movies.

And to be fair, they aren't 18's equals, they're stronger than her (which I know makes it worse but, hey, accuracy).

Offended? I don't think that would be a good word to describe it. Frustrating, yes, but offensive?

I wonder why Vegeta didn't know Trunks could go super saiyan until they were training together. I feel like he'd rush to go tell him as soon as it happened.

[up][up]Yeah. The jerk said so many hateful things when he transformed.

[up]Abridged Vegeta's reaction would probably be "Big deal, I can go Super Saiyan 2! You think you're better than me because you went Super Saiyan earlier?"
Canon Vegeta wasn't exactly thrilled.

Hell, his full reaction consisted of picking a fight with his child, then getting mad when the kid did exactly what he said, and trying to brush it under the rug.

I don't think he meant to hit Trunks back.

Seemed like reflex.

He seemed as surprised as Trunks.

And then they went to the park.

He was kinda thrown for a loop by that whole thing really, so yeah, he was definitely caught off guard by Trunks getting a hit in, and hit back on reflex. I mean, the dude's a trained warrior, and when someone hits him, he hits them back.

And he'd never sparred with his son before (even though he trained for a whole year with him once) so he's not really used to pulling his punches.

I mean, Trunks is a Saiyan. It's fine.

Goten's probably hit him harder anyway.

I mean, 18 was scared of Goten and Trunks when they were in their base forms.

Goku's base form never got as strong as Frieza's 100%. Goten and Trunks's base forms are stronger than someone stronger than Frieza's 100%.

Goten could hit Trunks harder than anyone else alive or dead.

Aside from Beerus or Buu, obviously.
