Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #1 Thread: "Broly"

[Mattias_]

This is just a guess:

- Pre DB plot. Bardock, Gine and all that.
- The saiyans were killed by Freezer.
- Many years later, the TOP is finished. Broly and Paragus were found by Emperor Freezer.
- Elmo and many others went to the cold planet, the home planet from King Cold and his family.
- Broly is there. Piccolo and Gohan starts to fight with the army. Goku and Vegeta versus Broly.
- Freezer versus Broly.
- Freezer escapes. Broly wins???
- Son Goku becames a master. Oob plot. Next movie.

Sugita's interview was really fun. He seems to be such a cool guy. Didn't expect less from Gintoki talking about Dragon Ball.

I wouldn't be surprised if Goku regains his memory in the end and he decides to revive the Saiyan race or his parents at least.
Right now it's a competition to see which story pisses me off more - This movie or Kingdom Hearts Union X.

I still have my HunterxHunter though. <3

Goku finally...kills a foe (Freeza). Seriously, can Freeza just die forever and can we move to the next villain? such a foe with a battle power in the between the gap of a GoD and an Angel. Or in between an Angel and the GP. I think we need some kind of magician or something crazy.

Sadly Freeza, as much as I like him, he is becoming the Joker (from Batman) of DB.

All on that list except Spain, uncoincidentally handled by Toei USA.

Toei Europe are a f**king joke. Longer they wait less opportunity to market the film.

Nah GOku dosen't kill frieza it's broly. Frieza is here to stay from now on and also broly is tecnically a new foe a reboot one. Death is meaningless in Dragon ball remember and besides killin him off again would be pointless. Wait for new villains to come for the tvshow jeez.

Well if Bardocks last stand against Frieza isnt in the movie, then consider that it might still be in Toriyama's 3 hour long movie script, but got cut off when they condensed the story down to a 100 minute film.

I dont think Toriyama wants erase that part of Bardocks history, especially when its actually part of the original manga.

It's not part of the original manga. It's part of the newer editions of the manga.

Really? The original chapter 307 had no Bardock in it? I'm curious, Is there a source of this?

There isn't a source, because it's not true. The newer edition of the manga only has the final few chapters altered.

I think it's just the last chapter with some few pages added. But I think I read somewhere that the newest release of the volumes doesn't have those anymore and only used the original ending.

There's also a chapter before that I think, the panel placement is a bit different with Goku showing a thumbs up and Vegeta smiling. Can't really find any info on the newer releases having the original ending though, even the Full Color versions have the updated one

Might be. Toriyama might've corrected some panels here and there for one the later releases a couple of years ago, though I think he also specifically stated that he didn't want to do that 'cause there''d be no end to how much he'd want to correct. If it's the panel you mentioned is the one I'm thinking of, then that should be in the original too, because I have it in my volume and my volume is pretty old.

Huh, what do you know. That's pretty significant as far "correcting" goes.

I hope not because he would wreck Broly.

To be totally fair sometimes the fights dont feel as visually engaging because of the lack of serious damage the characters recieve, with exception of people who can regenerate.

The sheer amount of injuries that look severe compared to those that dont is a bit of a gripe I can understand.

Characters would look this beat up and keep fighting looking like this:

but here, they end fights looking like this:

Which fight looks tougher by the visual communication of the damage and hardships the characters went through by what is told? Animation is as much a visual story as it is a written one, and things like this can give the impression that somehow, the fights in Z were harder by nature of the expressed injuries. Super could up its stakes in ways other than blood, like when 18 destroyed Vegeta's arm, but for some reason won't entertain the idea of these kind of body mangling injuries and that hurts the series when much earlier parts of the dragonball story had severe injuries that felt like the stakes were upped. Gohan's ruined arm in that final kamehameha clash with cell, goku's tournament fight with Piccolo junior, Vegeta as mentioned. I think really characters could do with looking like theyve sustained more battle damage or injuries to help.

I don't necessarily think blood is the way to go, but there are ways to make the fights feel more alive by adding injuries that are more several than anime hash line bruises and a black eye for vegeta in the TOP.

Honestly, the bottom since the clothes are torn off and Goku specifically has bandages and Vegeta missing a giant chuck of his armor, something not seen in Dragon Ball before, while the above just looks like Vegeta got a gash on his forehead.

A better visual example would be this:

the top one also has ripped clothes....

But you see my point right? The severity of injuries is reduced in Super

Some tears here and there, but as I pointed out Vegeta has a giant chuck of his armor missing, making him appear more injured than he does in the pic you posted where he just looks like he has a gash on his forehead. It isn't just about blood, and it's about the overall appearance.
