This is actually his final form. At first broly looks more like he used to. Then they trick him into putting a potara on and put the other on Yamcha. It weakens broly so much they defeat him

Dragon Ball Super movie title and poster revealed (spoilers)

Ok that wasn't on there last I checked. That was the original site I looked at. Thanks.
Also, toriyama said that he went back and watched all of the older movies. Why else would he do that unless he were using that as a base? He's not totally rewriting him.
Using the original as a base doesn't mean he isn't redoing him. I just don't get the feeling that he'll be the same. I'm sure he'll have things in common, but I get the feeling that he'll be heavily reworked.
He said he went back to watch the movies because he literally didn't remember Broly.

The whole point in doing this was for the old fans of broly. It would be silly to even mention that and then do something completely different. Why not just create a new character? Why did he need to go back in watch the old movies? Why bother trying to remember broly? I'll tell you why: He wants to get it right.
again, I feel he is not totally rewriting broly.
Thanks.
I mean, it's common practice, especially in comic books, to take an old character and make something new with them.
Of course he'd need to watch the old movies to decide what he feels works and what doesn't.
Broly was suggested because of his popularity, but Toriyama wanted to do his own version. All Toriyama said is that he kept Broly's "classic image" in mind when making his version, as to not upset fans.
Toriyama liked the Bardock special, but when it came to doing his own version of Bardock he totally ignored that special, Toriyama just likes to do his own thing.

I miss those wild old titles.
First Broly movie: "Dragon Ball Z: Burn Up!! A Close Fight"
Was off the internet for a couple weeks due to moving.
Coming back to this was a surprise.
My hype is Maximum.

I kind of like it though. Broly is a mofo who needs no introduction; no title padding. It's just fuckin BROLY
And then the sequels and video games happened and his entire character became about his Goku obsession.
My prediction is that this Broly is going to be the Super Saiyan the old legends talked about. He's both the person who started the legend that Frieza eventually grew to fear as well as the Saiyan that Beerus originally dreamed about. Frieza, post Tournament of Power, is going to be out trying to conquer a few worlds again and stumbles upon a frozen Broly on some ice planet and accidentally awakens him (or intentionally awakens him but doesn't realize how powerful Broly is). Then Frieza basically asks Goku and Vegeta to clean up his mess.
Even in the sequel, he's justifiably mad at Goku for putting him in a coma for 7 years. Bio-Broly is just a clone so he don't really count.
He has plenty of personality in the Xenoverse games. He's just sadistic and wants to kill everything, as non-Earth based Saiyans are wont to do.
I'm quite surprised it took them that long to work Broly into canon. Hopefully, they'll do better.
Honestly is it weird I have no strong feelings on Broly one way or the other?
Seems like it's always you either love him or hate him, but I've always just been kind of "ok."
(I do like Kale though.)

I'm glad Toei Animation seem so aware of their audience in America, because that is certainly a title for them. They aren't being coy, there's no 'Resurrection 'F'' - it's as simple and to the point as the character himself - 'Broly'.
The English lettering comes first. This one's for you, America.
Apathy towards Broly seems sensible to me. And I get the 'Hulk' tear shit up love he gets. The hatred towards the character is bizarre to me - he isn't interesting enough to have anything beyond mild dislike.
Nah, that's pretty much me too. I don't watch many of the movies and Kale is alright with me as well. At least she's more likeable than Caulifla lol.
That doesn't sound fun to you?
I want to see Frieza put the blame on Beerus.

Someone holding Beerus responsible for the destruction of Vegeta is a story beat I've been waiting for, so if it's Broly that has to give him hands for it, then I'm down.
Maybe Vegeta will join in once he learns the truth.
Yeah, I've been waiting for the "Beerus is the real reason Planet Vegeta was destroyed" plot point to come back for a while
It's Dragon Ball Super, he and Goku will go "ATaTaTaTATAT!!!" until Goku runs out of energy, at which point he'll have to regain his energy (by continuing to fight), until he awakens an asspull power mid-fight.
You single out Super, but Goku has fought like that all of Dragon Ball. The longer he fights, the stronger he gets. It's consistent with the whole series.
Yup, while at most having some bruises and spitting saliva whenever they land powerful punches. (jiren fight)
nah, he used to need a Senzu bean or some other macguffin, Super is when they first came up with the brilliant idea that he needed to expend more energy to regain his energy.
I mean, nah.
He beats Piccolo with all his limbs broken, twice. Second time with a gaping hole in his chest.
He wakes up from an attack meant to knock him out for 10 days cuz Bulma tells him she has food for him, which invigorates him.
He fights Master Roshi for over six hours straight in the tournament and only loses because he was tricked into having his chin struck hard enough.
He still participates in the fight against Vegeta, again, with all his limbs crushed and every bone in his body broken. Still forms a Spirit bomb.
He becomes a Super Saiyan against Frieza while he has no energy left, and even overpowers Frieza at full strength.
It's entirely reasonable he's able to regain his stamina fighting opponents way weaker he is in a 48 minute time-frame, after he's shown to be able to participate in a tournament setting ALL DAY as a child and only get winded during the final stretch.
Goku continues to fight until he's dead. That's always been consistent with the character throughout the series. The only exception is with Cell, because he planned for Gohan to win.
The first thing I thought when I saw this news was Kale. This has to be a main reason why they are making Broly canon.
Made him more legendary.
I don't believe they really cared. He just looked cool so they went with that.
I feel like your nostalgia goggles are clouding your memory of DBZ. For example, here's an example of a fight where Goku was completely exhausted and beaten up and then pulled a transformation out of his ass and was perfectly okay to fight again right after. You might not recognize it since it's an obscure moment in the series history....
I'm pretty sure they won't kill Broly in this movie. After making him canon and rebooted? Hell yeah he is gonna stay
eh I disagree.
While the others are not shining beacons of story relations i can at least get their motives and brand them as villains for that.
There is nothing interesting in his backstory save for the part hes very strong and his pops is a dick.
And that's before he turned to screaming "KAKAROTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" near 24/7
OP
OP
That was more because Dragon Ball in general moved to a more kid friendly time slot on TV and Japanese TV has gotten stricter, not because they hate blood.
If Broly's name has to be in the title, I will take just 'Broly' over either of your suggestions, lol.
I'd prefer the title to be less on-the-nose and be called something like Legend of the Saiyans, or something. Nod to it instead of just "yes, broly is in this one"
I hope they make Paragus and Broly's relationship less of what it was in the original movie and more like there is some actual trust there. I also want them to make Paragus into a decent to good fighter so we can have more than just the good guys beat on Broly for 2 hours. Maybe Frieza kills off Paragus and thats what sets Broly off to turning into the LSSJ. He controlled it due to his father's influence like in the original but there is respect and love there, not the dumb mind control. I dunno I have been floating around ideas in my head for this thing.
Whoops meant to post this in the DBS general
