I was not disappointed at all by the second half. That was great!

Also, I nominate "I want a divorce." "Me too, I'm starving!" for the funniest joke in TFS history. Laughed so hard I had trouble breathing.

I found Vegeta's admiration and perhaps literal worship (even acknowledging him as god) of Broly funnier than I should.

I'm just saying, even assuming just making fun of how stupid something is isn't normal for them, what exactly were they supposed to do with him.

There is basically nothing to do this movie, especially after Broly transforms. Besides, making fun of how stupid he is seems to be the main reason people wanted this.

I think this is gonna lead to a running joke of Broly recognizes Trunks as his wife.

Trunks does give him a golden shower in the next one.

Well, about that... he devolved into saying "KAKAROT". I'm pretty sure he won't recognize Kid Trunks as his wife.

Gonna be honest, I was kinda underwhelmed by the movie. There were a couple good jokes, but I feel like for the most part TFS couldn't really figure out how to make anything funny of the plot and just resorted to pointing out how dumb Broly was by the end, which is kind of a major step down from their usual writing.

That's a fair and understandable criticism. I found TFS' tale on Abridging Broly to be serviceable enough, but I feel its not as good as their previous film abridges.

So according to the stream, they're not gonna do Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans just yet, but they have plans for it.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Honestly they did as much as they could with this one, there was just nothing to the original movie and fans really wouldn't accept something out of left field like Christmas Tree of Might.

They upgraded Broly as a character which was a shock though and Vegeta pretty much debated in his head basically what some of the different fan factions think.

Also I hope Princess Trunks sticks.

My response wasn't to Echo Silence not finding it funny, that's whatever, just that apparently mocking how stupid the character is is beneath them. That seems out of left-field considering how they usually handle stuff like this.

The whole reason for this movie was because a newborn cried I mean come on.

The movie has no substance what so ever to really work from.

The only thing left were the characters reacting to Broccoli and interactions...and that's no good.

Does said plans involve eradicating the Saiyans?

Also I'm a little late but there's a distressingly high number of people in this thread who've never heard of elective monarchy

Yea, they did what they could but it kinda reveals just how flawed of a movie it was when they barely have any material to parody.

If they barely had any material then why was it half an hour long?

It's a comment on the type of jokes they could make while staying true to the material.

That seems about right. They've been saying that it feel like trying to get blood from a stone, doing this one.

Well, that was more spiteful than I'd have liked, but still enjoyable, and better than most of the abridged movies

I feel like the original is probably one of the better DBZ movies, though? Like, there's a unique plot, and Broly is pretty terrifying, even if his backstory is dumb

Vegeta becoming ruler of a planet is a great idea, but in the original movie he basically just stands there and doesn't say anything. We never really learn how he feels about this new turn of events.

Personally, I think this is one of their stronger Abridged movies.
