Would y’all like it if Tori rebooted other Z Movie/GT villains?

Post by superfan2024 » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:13 am

Imagine if this new rebooted Broly is so interesting, so intriguing, and/or just so great. Would you like Toriyama to do more rebooting of non canon villains? I’d actually be pretty down for a Cooler reboot. Maybe a Super 17 reboot can be good if it’s properly in Toriyama’s hands!

I know a lot of y’all won’t want it and would actually want new original characters... but thoughts?

No, I'm tired of this series retreading old grounds instead of making new characters/new plot points.

I'd prefer new ideas from now on. Broly was just way too popular to get ignored so he is an exception.

I don't like it, but neither do I hate it. I keep saying, it's the execution that matters most for me, so theoretically, I up for anything as far as concepts go. This is also why I didn't take the Broly reveal to be something that catastrophic. I'm genuinely curious what they'll do with him.

Cooler is the only one I'd like, but I think the boat sailed on him for good in Resurrection F.

Yes, but only two specific ones: Cooler and Baby.

Baby is a villain who actually has a reason to act the way he does. He's a tuffle (artificial, but still) who's out for revenge against the saiyans who genocided his species. Even with just that one-sentence backstory, he has plenty of depth for a Dragon Ball villain. Baby getting his power from possessing other people instead of just being magically super strong on his own is also a good thing in my eyes. However, beyond this, he'd need to be changed a lot. First of all, he's a little overdesigned, but that's minor. More importantly, he needs to keep his grudge throughout the story, because in GT his motives kinda fade (iirc) as the story progresses. I'd also vastly prefer him possessing Goku rather than Vegeta, as his hatred for Vegeta and the saiyan royal family should be much larger than his hatred for just any saiyan in general. I imagine he'd tell Vegeta something similar to what he told Goku in GT: He doesn't even deserve to be possessed, he only deserves to die. If he was rebooted like this, I'd be all for it, though I doubt Toriyama would ever do that to his Goku.

Cooler I just like as a concept. Frieza's older brother who's less of a prodigy but makes up for it by working hard. (I think that was the story?) If Toriyama managed to make a rebooted Cooler who's less evil, so to speak (he'd be evil, but he'd also be "trustworthy", a noble demon as TV Tropes puts it), I'd be all for it, though it could get awkward now that Frieza's back in the story.

Only Janemba, who is the only one from the movies who has potential and has the capacity to bring something to the table.

As long as they aren't done in back to back stories, sure, or at least if they are one or both aren't the main character/villain of their arc. See Kale to Broly.

Honestly, I'd love to see someone take another crack at the Evil Dragons arc from GT. That concept was fucking gold, and it HORRIBLY squandered in GT.

Other than that, perhaps expand on Cooler's character more as I feel there's so much more you explore with regards to Freeza family, and by extension, his history and his race.

Not really, sans Shadow Dragon(s) & Baby concept perhaps. GT made tons of mistakes, but it sure had some nice ideas for the villains. Better than any DBZ Movie villain actually.

IF Broly is done right then yes, revisiting old concepts that weren't done right before would be a great idea as long as original concepts are still introduced. I think they're using Broly as a door to do this so if it's a big success then It's safe to say other concepts will be brought over.

I'd love to see Ssj4, Baby, Super 17, the shadow dragons & cooler modernized by Toriyama IF Broly works out.

They could have him be form another universe or be the "king" of the demon world which I'd also like to see.

Freeza's back now so they could still bring him in. Keep in mind that they won't be bringing him back to life as it won't be the same Cooler.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

If by "universe" you mean "dimension", then yes. He could be the link to endless possibilities that the "main series" should already be dealing instead of wasting time with nonsense.

Not really. Brody in the first film was one of the more fleshed out film villains and he was clearly insanely popular. I get the novelty to Toriyama retouching him up and bringing him into continuity. The GT villains were in a series and given proper time. The rest of the movie villains were way too generic.

Depends how it would be executed. Frankly, I don't think I would mind if Broly had something similar to SSJ4 in this movie. I expect Toriyama to do wonders for Broly's character and not make him a mindless idiot but I still have to wait and see just how it turns out.

Assuming this movie goes really well, I wouldn't mind seeing Cooler to come into canon with his father. I don't know how it would work or how it would make any sense but they could figure it out.

No. Absolutely not.

I'm more sympathetic to the idea of a Broly reboot because he's a Saiyan, he's popular in several territories, Toriyama saw something to work with, and he can be used to explore the history of Goku and Vegeta's race in more detail. That's fine. It's not what I would have done, but I can understand some of the reasoning behind it.

Rebooting other villains wouldn't benefit the franchise at all, whether for merchandising or otherwise. It's totally pointless in comparison to a character like Broly, and I'm sure the franchise's authorities realize that their audience would be more than a little peeved at the prospect of constantly recycled ideas. I don't see it happening.

This. I think a retooling of Janemba with elements of a Demon World story could be really good.

Honestly, I'd rather they didn't, but if they did...I can definitely think of a few other characters or concepts I'd love to see revisited but with Toriyama's more direct involvement.

Dr. Wheelo/The World's Strongest - Dr. Wheelo is one of the more uniquely designed villains in the franchise, and the whole idea of taking the body of the strongest person in the world was actually a pretty neat plot idea...at the time. I admit the idea of going after Goku's body is pretty old hat by now (and we did just have Goku Black), but this could be averted with Wheelo going for it but not actually achieving it. I'd also imagine the bit where he thinks Roshi is the strongest person in the world would likely be revamped into instead him going for Mr. Satan initially instead, believing him to be the strongest person out there.

Big Gete Star/The Return of Cooler - I have no need for Cooler to be involved honestly. But the idea of a big, planet eating thing? Basically Dragon Ball's equivalent of Unicron or Galactus? THAT'S an idea I'd like to see re-visited, cuz it wasn't done justice in this film. Just again, likely leaving Cooler way out of it.

Hirudegarn/Wrath of the Dragon - This is the one that I'd be most okay with in terms of just plain rebooting the story almost as is only taking place in the current timeline of Super. Hirudegarn was another of the more unique looking foes in the franchise, and outside of the occasional Oozaru, we haven't really had a 'kaiju' foe for them to deal with before or since, so it'd be fun to see that come back. And Tapion could be re-tooled into a pretty interesting character as well. The stuff with Hirudegarn's backstory and Hoi's involvement though, could probably be removed or tinkered with greatly, to make it less like a Majin Boo copy though.

Shadow Dragons - This is really the only concept from GT that I'd like to see visited, since we're now in an era where we have Freeza back and thus don't really have much need for another 'revenge on the Saiyans' concept like Dr. Raichi/Hatchyack/Baby bring us (though admittedly, seeing Freeza, and I mean actual Freeza not the ghost warrior thing, interact in such a plot could be entertaining). No, what I'd like to see given some due again is the idea of the Dragon Balls' overuse being a bad thing, hence Elder Kai's protests about using them so much. They could even have it be a thing that only happens with the Earth Dragon Balls since they're like three steps removed from the real things in the first place, therefore making them imperfect and prone to causing an issue like this.

Short answer: No.

Even if it means making them ughh. "CANON".
"<villain> is now canon" phrase even sounds absolutely stupid.

I hate reboots of anything. The only reboots i accept are reboots of some movies, mostly really old ones (classic slashers) although they never replace original ones, they are only alternative, secondary takes. I absolutely love how even 30 years later, "Child's Play" movie series is one, single story, made by the same guy, with the same people playing the same characters. No single reboot was made in entire franchise for 30 years. Nothing was ever retconned.

Making another Broly movie is already trash idea. Rebooting him is even worse disaster.
No matter how good reboot is, this movie is already fail to me as any kind of rebooting in DB will be.

Yes, that includes hypothetical GT reboot series. I don't want it. So it's not just sign of me hating DBS.
It's just that two things i hate (DBS and its lazy fanservice ideas & rebooting) met together to make something that is offending me by a simple fact it exists.

I have to agree with this. But I think Cooler could be interesting so they could develop Freezer's race a little more, but anyway.
