Why do you keep saying “sorry”? Not only is it repetitive, it comes across as somewhat condescending. I’m not offended by you taking issue with Broly surviving being stabbed. I’m more so confused as to why you believe that’s something that contributes to the movie being bad, when Dragon Ball has never been consistent with what should and shouldn’t kill someone. This is the same franchise where a guy who was drained of his energy managed to survive getting a hole through his chest. Sure, he took a senzu, but there was nothing to indicate that senzus were capable of healing those kinds of injuries, only that they replenished a fighter’s energy for 10 days.Scsigs wrote:Because the stabbing happened BEFORE they flew off into space. Broly should be dead from the stabbing before any of that happens. That's a plot hole because it makes no sense.WittyUsername wrote:Again, that same movie established that an infant Saiyan was able to fly off a planet, into space, while carrying his father. I fail to see why the stabbing thing is where anyone should draw the line.
If you want a plausible in-universe explanation for how Broly survived being stabbed when Goku was hurt by a rock, you can argue that a person is more vulnerable when they’re asleep, even compared to an infant with a high battle power. That might sound like a reach to you, but considering that infants aren’t supposed to be super strong to begin with, you just have to take it for what it is. Either that or you could just accept that the DB movies were never intended to be anything more than side stories with no relation to the main series, and that since these movies are already full of inconsistencies with the actual story, complaining about a dagger should be the least of anyone’s concerns.
Oh, I know that the Z movies were side stories made with no relation to the main series. That doesn't mean they can just bend the rules of the universe that Toriyama himself established over time & most of them don't, at least when it comes to the physics or amount of pain someone can take before they actually get hurt, depending on the person (Though the second Coller movie has Vegeta& Goku somehow get more energy when they were tapped dry, but one plot hole at a time here). Most of them don't have something as stupid as a baby surviving a stabbing. Broly literally gets stabbed in the chest with a dagger by a man with the intent to kill him. Here's an easy fix to that scene. Paragus doesn't get sentenced to death with Broly. However, Broly does & Paragus then finds out about it. He then steals Broly from the nursery before that happens. They take off in a space pod. The Saiyans then blast the pod before it can get anywhere, but it's too far out of their range of sight when it explodes, so when Broly envelops them in an energy barrier, they get away undetected.
See which part I take exception with here? Literally, it's a plot hole because that SHOULD HAVE killed Broly, but he doesn't die from it. You can't suspend disbelief from a plot hole like this, sorry. If Goku falling on a rock can give him enough brain damage so that it rewires his brain to forget his memories & become a nicer person, then Broly can die from a stabbing through the chest that was most likely through his heart. Even GOKU'S healing factor didn't heal him fast enough in the span of however long Broly & his father were left for dead.
Just because a plot hole may not bother you doesn't mean it's not a plot hole & that it won't bother anyone else.
Anyway, I don’t want to get into an endless debate about this, so we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
