So this somehow becomes a Two Saiyans Play with Trunks forced to sit in the corner. [lol]

Some potential spoilers for the D Bcember list:

They hate Bojack the character and apparently Taka really likes the Lord Slug movie.

Huh. I didn't know Oolong was 9.

Or that Big the Cat('s original voice) is voicing the numbers.

Mmm, any motivation that involves the words "now that Frieza is gone" suffers from the Voodoo Shark it raises: why didn't Broly just kill Frieza?

Paragus controlling Broly and being a coward until he thinks he has an opportunity, I guess.

Speaking of which, why didn't the two of them go after Freeza in the movie?

Because Frieza was dead?

Or alternatively, maybe that was during the time Paragus was struggling to control Broly?

Or Paragus wasn't sure if they were strong enough to fight him yet, so kept biding his time and building up his son's power.

Or because it's non canon so who cares.

One of these answers is not serious. See if you can guess which one.tongue

So, I decided to rewatch Broly 1, in JAPANESE, even, and...

God, that movie is boring!

The fight drags on SO long. And nothing even happens in it. It's just, Broly beats down everyone, they come back up, he beats them down again, Piccolo saves Gohan, Vegeta decides to fight, and then...everyone gives Goku their energy and then he beats him somehow.

I'm surprised people liked it so much.

It's the music more than anything, I think. There was never much going on but when you have Panthera or some other rock blasting in the back ground it becomes harder to tell.

When I watched it with the original sound track (but English) I was really able to notice how little was actually happening and how boring the beat down was.

I really enjoyed how terrible it was and how inexplicable Piccolo's appearance was.

Piccolo or Vegetable showing up was usually inexplicable. Like they wanted it to be some big surprise for some reason.

I wouldn't remember. I kept on going in and out of consciousness once Broly started beating on them.

But wasn't it at least funny how he screamed "KAKAROOOOOOOT" so hard he ripped open a portal to the dead zone and then drop kicked Garlic Jr. into it?

It was funnier when he punched Goku so hard that it went through time and knocked Bardock into the past, plus removed his psychic powers.

But I thought Toriyama didn't know how to draw female Super Saiyans?

Just another unfounded rumour.

Which is really sad, because it's a very unfair thing to slap him with. The biggest reason Toriyama didn't have female Super Saiyans is probably because he ended the manga three chapters are introducing a female Saiyan.

Toei's the one that dealt with an entire series with a female Saiyan in the focus and didn't do shit with it.

Looking back on it, I'd say that it was probably a mistake to hand out SS transformations like candy in the first place, so I can't really fault Toei for not making the problem worse.

How relevant was Pan again in GT? I never watched the series, but from those two or three episodes I caught, I assumed she was basically behind only Goku in terms of importance. Way, way behind Goku, of course, but that's because the guy is a black hole for spotlight.

Pan could have been a Super Saiyan during the end of Z.

Just Saiyan.

Looking back on it, I'd say that it was probably a mistake to hand out SS transformations like candy in the first place, so I can't really fault Toei for not making the problem worse.

Funny thing, Toei keeps trying to make Super Saiyan more important than Toriyama seemingly wants to.

Like, in Toriyama's version of History of Trunks, Trunks was already a Super Saiyan. In Toei's version it takes like half the movie.

And yeah, the girl being a Super Saiyan would be so much worse.

[up][up]I don't think it was a mistake to give it to everyone who got it in the manga, and even if it were, making Pan not a Super Saiyan does nothing to help that. At that point it doesn't make the situation worse, just doesn't draw an arbitrary line. "Children are fine, but a girl? That would just ruin Super Saiyan".

[up] Maybe she was. Showing that she was wouldn't have made much difference at that point, it wasn't the focus.

#16324: Dec 10th 2015 at 3:33:45 AM

Yeah, okay, actually thinking about it, making Pan go super wouldn't make the problem worse. Whether I like it or not, every Saiyan becoming a Super Saiyan was already well established by that point, so not letting Pan do so did unfairly single her out.

And then came Goku and Vegeta Jr. and the the whole thing became even more worthy of facepalm.

Pan was essentially the Tag Along Kid who'd frequently get capture or put in danger for Goku to save.
