LttP: Dragon Ball Super - Broly (Open Spoilers)

[Z-Beat]

This is already a better movie than the origi-OH SHIT LOOK AT THAT!!!!

*ahem*...original right off the bat. I like Broly's new design over his old, not the prince of Saiyans but dressed like it appearance. Paragus is still a shitty dad, but Bardock seems like a somewhat decent dad. The movie seems to imply that you've already seen Bardo-OH DAMN!

Er...Bardock's backstory though based on where it leaves off with him. The animation is still pretty great overall as well. At least Broly's backstory isn't anywhere near as stupid.

But DAMN do they sandbag the power of the dragon balls. I've noticed that a lot as the series has gone on. These objects that the show is named after that can grant you pretty much whatever the fuck are treated like free movie passes. Bulma was keeping them around to make herself 5 years younger and Freeza did all this to make himself 5cm taller. I did kinda lol when Freeza used the anime "OH NO YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND IS DEAD!" trope to power up Broly, and Freeza calling bullshit on fusion. I had a lot of fun wi-

You know what? FINE, I'll go play some FighterZ. You win

This movie was fuckin excellent. Gonna need a whole movie with this animation retelling bardock's story. He was already pretty cool but the way he was in this movie was totally different from most DB characters. Aka not an idiot

It is the best thing to come out of Super and Broli by far. I just wish the show had been this good. If they want to keep DB around they should just continue doing movies every couple of years instead. The results are far better.

Great movie.

Freeza did all this to make himself 6cm taller.

Umm, it's 5cm. 6 would be too noticeable!!

Fair enough

Now bring back Janemba.

I love what this movie did with Freeza. The pettiness, him nonchalantly killing Paragus, and getting his shit wrecked while Goku and Vegeta ran off to fuse were some of the highlights of the movie.

Probably tied for best DB movie with Battle of Gods. Animation and designs were f'ing excellent. And the choreography was excellent.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Piccolo 3/4's into the movie was great.

 

[pochi]

Animation was god tier.
Story is wack.
New Broly is definitely an improvement from crying baby Broly.

 

[Anth0ny]

It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The final 45 minutes was an adrenaline rush that just didn't let up.

The art and animation is some next level shit. One year later I'm still shook.

Amazing what an actual production that isn't rushed to hell can do.

Piccolo's "alright what bullshit is going on now?" Attitude is outstanding.

 

[HammerOfThor]

This movie was such a success for them, I'm extremely shocked we haven't seen a S2 of Super yet. Or at least another movie announcement.

 

[Treestump]

Movie fucking ruled. The part where they bail out to go do the fusion and Broly just starts wrecking Freeza's shit had me rolling.

 

[Rand a. Thor]

This is the movie Battle of the Gods needed to be, straight up. Amazing continuation of the story, bringing interesting yet underdeveloped non-canon elements into the spotlight, and an honest to god proper evolution of the art direction while being totally tecognizable and respectful to the source material. Whatever black magic went into making it hopefully is tbe black magic that makes Super 2.0 worthy to watch. I need this art direction scaled down for a weekly shonen so badly and I hope the Anime's break was so that they could make it work.

Right? Super was doing well, revitalising love of DB and then Broly shows up and look beautiful and kills it as the best DB Movie but then... nothing. No Super S2 or Ultra or next chapter of DB still somehow set before End of Z. Just the Manga continuing and no hint of a new anime or continuation or if it'll follow the manga saga or be something new. No new movie announced.

At least we have/had FighterZ S2 and DB Kakarot coming soon. Weird about the lack of anime though. My secret hope is they are working on it in this style with good production values but I know that'll never happen.


EDIT: Oh, and worst part of Broly was in the OP. WHY ISN'T GALICK GUN PURPLE!

 

[The Silver]

Love the Gogeta fight cause it completely switches the tension, it turned Broly into the sympathetic "protagonist" trying to survive against Gogeta. That was nice, a flip on the usual big bad fight.
