I honestly don't see what makes this movie any more difficult to get humor out of than say, Cooler's Revenge or Lord Slug. It's not like it being one big fight scene is particularly unique to it.

I think it's about middle of the road, but that's not really due to any fault of theirs. The movie is just boring, and that's worse than being bad.

Tell you one thing, this movie was NOT what I was expecting this morning when I woke up to go to a gay wedding.

...

Seriously, that line cracked me up because it hit home. My best friend married her girlfriend of eight years today. I was her best man.

Well with those two, they got to play around with the Big Bads be blatant expies and toy with their Elite Mooks. Android 13, as boring as that movie was, at least had some decent character designs that they could create personalities for.

Yea, the other movies aren't necessarily better but they had a lot more characters to work with to play off the heroes. With this one, you only have Broly, Paragus, and those little aliens and the latter two don't contribute much past Broly transforming.

[up][up] They've been friends, and Goku's the one who visits the Tower most often, outside of bean runs during movies.

Because who else would be? Goku's the only member of the cast that Yajirobe's had extended contact with outside of Karin.

Because Yajirobe lived in the wilds keeping to himself, and is quite self-centered, so pretty much only Goku, who makes friends with everybody but Freeza and Cell, became his friend. When there are only 2 persons in your life, and you are marrying one, the choice for best man is quite clear.

Yajirobe has spent more time with Tenshinhan, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha training for a year with Kami than he has with Goku.

I completely lost my mind laughing with the Call-Back to how fucking annoying Vegeta was with the whole "the legendary Super Saiyan" thing and him being on the receiving end of it by Paragus.

I was a little sad he didn't recite the whole shpeal, but enough people were clamoring for it that TFS knew it'd be recognizable as soon as he started.

Reciting the whole speech wouldn't make sense, Vegetarian doesn't fear the legendary super saiyan...

If you watch it with subtitles on, there's a few extra jokes in there.

I didn't notice the "Legendary Super Saiyan" thing until after I figured out it was a running gag.

I loved Chi-Chi summarizing the events of the movie with

  • Goku: It's a good thing we come from money.
  • Chi-Chi: No, I come from money. YOU come from a race of idiots.
  • Goku: I sure do, Chi-Chi. I sure do.

I was gonna ask how Paragus knew Goku's Earth name, but then I realized that since Paragus was discussing him with Broly, and Broly knows that Goku killed Frieza, they probably just heard about that.

Probably on the space news.

So, wen Hatchiyak?

Chi Chi technically comes from money but wasn't her family's wealth all destroyed by Goku when he put out that fire?

Goku didn't put out the fire. Roshi did.

I mean, I imagine the fire got to most of it first.

And, like, her dad was a warlord who got his wealth by raiding and pillaging "taxing" people anyway, so. He could probably get more.

Before he'd lose it again after he rebuilt his castle on a mountain that's constantly catching on fire.

I liked seeing Paragus being a caring dad who doesn't want to use his son's strength. He wants revenge and enacts a rather clever plan that involves using Vegeta's ego.

So when are TFS going to release an album for "Broly: Chronicles of the First Coming (Part 1 of the Cycle of Nothing)" composed by AinTunez (Feat. II Neige) and performed by Nick "Lanipator" Landis?

Because it's a pretty good song. I like it.

Also, like Broly's next movie, sounds too much like a porn parody of itself.

Wait, when did Ox King lose all his money? I know it's a plot point in episode 1 of Super, so I figured it happened sometime around the Buu saga. I assumed he had a cache somewhere other than frypan mountain, I guess.
