I believe Toriyama is enthusiastic about this movie because unlike the movie Broly, this movie is not 100% fanservice, yes it has the fanservice, but unlike Broly, Super Hero has a lot more of a Toriyama feel in the humor/slice of life parts that Broly lacked, some of this movie parts have a feel o...

Opening weekend gross is ¥670 million. Lowest than Battle of Gods. Drastically lower than Resurrection F and Broly. Oh well, at least the reviews from those who seen it seem overwhelmingly positive as opposed to how the majority have talked about it before. I'll take a riskier concept with less tic...

I love the interaction between Shenron and Piccolo. Making him more like a living thing than just a tool. Just like his interaction with Beerus in previous movie I like the idea that Shenron has to wake up every once in awhile for Bulma to ask him for something frivolous just so the Dragon Balls ar...

It's worth noting that Gohan throughout his life has never actually needed to train to hit the powers that were decisive in battles. When we first see him, he loses his mind and is the only person that can actually do any damage to Raditz solo. Yeah he trains with Piccolo, but it doesn't really amou...

I gotta say, I don't know to what make of what I've heard of this film. The spoilers I've accidentally seen seem absolutely ridiculous and not that appealing to be honest, but fan reaction seems really positive. I guess I'm still cautiously optimistic, I wish I could see it now. It plays better in ...

Overall, the movie looks good in 3D and the use of it in shots is done really well... but yeah, there are some jarring parts as well, when they break the stillness of characters with shots or sometimes, there is this video game feel to it, when you have motion to still characters so they seem a bit...

Just finished watching it. Easily the best Dragon Ball movie they've ever put out. Actually had a plot and managed to effectively use an ensemble cast. It had a bit of that early dragon ball feel of when the characters felt a bit like a team. Everyone had a role to play in the final battle. Strong ...

Orange Piccolo vs Gamma 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by2mLQ-WkV4 Wow he looks extra demonic here. I'm not a fan of color swap forms, but they did enough to differentiate him here imo. Same with Gohan having the SSJ2 hair. The forms here look distinct as opposed to red haired Goku and blue hai...

I feel like that one poster who suggested the arc could have been better if Gohan died against Fat Buu and we skipped the Mystic portion would have made the pacing. Uub is kind of uninteresting as he's just Gohan and Nam combined. Character development is a thing though. I would have preferred if h...

Starting with the Saiyan arc, this was what happened for the majority of the time. Goku was always dead or training, playing only a significant role in the final stretch of the arcs. Arguably Dragon Ball was ensemble show for a lot of it's duration. Super reverted this trend, adding Vegeta to the f...

Too much money involved and since Toriyama only needs to do outlines and some character sketches, the burden on him isn't particularly high enough to burn him out the way it did when he worked on the manga. However I wouldn't be surprised if the anime came back post "Z" and just ignored th...

As long as this makes Gohan and Piccolo relevant as characters again, I'm going to be fine with it. GT and Super thus far have been the Goku and Vegeta show. Which is fine, they are popular. But it's not interesting only having two characters that matter. The series was at it's best when multiple ch...

There’d be no guarantee that a hypothetical adaptation would get that far, but even if it did, the fact that Dr. Gero is motivated by a desire for revenge against Goku doesn’t seem like an especially important detail to keep. It’s not like Goku is the reason Dr. Gero is evil. He was already a mad s...

Starting off with Tao Pai Pai doesn’t make much sense to me. He’s just a mercenary. You could maybe do the Red Ribbon Army, but I will echo the sentiment that starting off with Piccolo is the most pragmatic way to go. It creates several problems. RR army is necessary for Cell and the androids, you ...

Vegeta didn't know how Kaioken works. He just knew Goku glows red and gets stronger all of a sudden. Does he even glow red? I remember in the Freeza arc the big reveal was that Goku had been fighting in Kaioken the entire time and Freeza was still dominating. It's really not known how much of an au...

The same way two parents can have different children. Since they are two different types of fusion, they can fuse differently and mix different traits. Potara took a lot of Vegeta's cockiness and Goku's light heartedness. Gogeta takes on the very serious side of Vegeta and the focused zen side of Go...

The same way Freeza can train for a little bit and get a golden form that allows it to hang a little with SSB and is well past every form we saw in the original manga in terms of power.

Plot demands it and you can hide behind Broly being a spooky prodigy that rules don't apply to.

Perfect ending. After that, the series really struggles to make Goku narratively fit. He just kinda meanders for the Android arc getting sick, then training but never really fighting anyone with it and just teleporting around. It's so obvious that by the time the big fight came arond Toriyama neede...
