Broly is one of if not the biggest merchandise seller in the franchise so people are very far from hating him.

Yep. People tend to forget this when they think their online community is the majority of the DB fandom. It's not just a US thing either. In Japan, Broly was the main advertisement for Fusion which was mainly advertised in Japan.

No, Gog hates him, and that's all that matters, yeah I know that Broly is the biggest merchandise machine in the history of anything ever. My only hope is that Akira Trolliyama kicks her out early

I would have so laughed if they would have made the original Broly appear as a God of Destruction. The haters would have been even more upset than they are now.

That would have included me then. As it is, I'm actually pretty happy with the turn of developments.

I don't think she'll be going anywhere let alone early.

The reason the show is even a thing is to sell merchandise, unlike the original 2 which were made to sell the manga so Toriyama probably doesn't have the same amount of freedom he did before.

In one of Toriyama's interviews for BOG, he said he didn't want a new form in the movie but he had to have something visually to show that Goku got stronger so he came up with SsjG's simple design but due to him wanting Goku to be Ssj1 during the final fight he had the form be a temporary one.

Yeah, there's not much difference between the Dragon ball Super Anime, and the Dragon ball Z anime, actually even in the original Manga Akira Toriyama didn't have as much freedom. Especially in the cell saga

How so ? Z just covered the manga.

Where did you get that from ? are you talking about the changes he made based on Torishima's suggestions ? he wasn't forced to make them cause they weren't working together, he did it because he trusted him and he was right to do so.

There was no need to revive this thread when the bulk of the discussion about "Brolet" could have take place in the newly created thread.
