I'm fully expecting Toei to make Broly canon the same way they made Tarble, through casual mention.

Upon seeing her transform into the LSSJ Goku remarks that he's unimpressed as he fought and defeated the LSSJ of his own universe (queue movie 8 clips). BOOM Broly is officially canon. Hahahahaha
Remember, it's a double-edged sword. They could react as if she's something completely new, ergo, Movie 8 never happened.
Half the battle has already been won just by making LSSJ canon. Movie 8 being canon would just be the sweet salty icing on the cake.
You mean half the battle has been lost :D

Also, keep in mind we don't even know if that form is called LSSj. In the canon continuity there is no such thing as a LSSj, so I'm leaning more towards a different evolutionary path of Saiyans from the other universe, with a transformation that looks just like LSSj Broly.

If they make one movie be included in the main story then surely they must include all the movies.

Maybe we might see other versions of movie characters like Lord slug or Cooler. Cooler and Lord Slug versions would make sense as maybe Frost went and trained with the Cooler lookalike and Lord Slug becuase of there must be a Planet Namek in universe 6.

I don't see how it's half lost when it supposedly didn't exist at all. No one really cares what it's called or how it functions too much, just its sheer existing in canon media is enough to piss off all the haters. And we still don't know how far Toei is going to take it, but anyone who have enjoyed that transformation visually just won, and those who didn't just lost. Hard.

Nah. It's gotta be Mark Hamill. Pull all kinds of strings to make that happen FUNimation. And while you're at it, get Arleen Sorkin to voice his Angel. :P
Mark's gonna be super tough but if that happens boy. But I feel Troy is pretty adequate enough.
Who is Arleen Sorkin btw?

Didn't she retire though? I doubt Tara Strong is too expensive due to the sheer amount of VA work she does so I'll settle for her.

...So... My Cooler-Senpai could become cannon?... Okay, even I cringed at that.

I mean honestly it was only ammeter of time before something like that would find its way into super. If they do Movie 8 flashbacks oh I can't wait to see all the comments of people pissed that Broly has become official cannon. On another note why the hell is there a clown God of Destruction? Is it supposed to be terrifying cause people are actually scared of clowns? It just seems weird.

Only people that suffer from coulrophobia. Most people of their Universe don't have that... I'm sure... :?

Weren't clowns supposed to be funny?
It looks like a tribute to Joker and Harley Quinn, and if it's that joker yes we are supposed to be scared

Yes but people somehow developed that problem.

Well, I don't have coulrophobia, so I'm not scared at all if that was their intention. And it's not because it's an anime, horror movies based on clowns don't scare me too.

That's kind of odd

Let's see the god clown's personality, that should be the factor, already liking his design

It would not be the first time FUNimation had distributed a product with Hamill in it. Remember Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles?
In all likelihood, the Clown will probably be voiced by Mike McFarland because he voices Buggy the Clown in One Piece.

I get more excited every time I see the preview. It looks sick.

Those two have the biggest fanbase, they wanted to generate hype and broly already did that alone.. no use showing others fight
Plus they showed krillin.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Probably because they need to show at least someone other than those two, otherwise that really would blow..
Or Krillin really does play a big role

If the Joker GoD turns out like Joker.... they're fcked in more ways than one, people that reads comics that are familiar with the character knows how fcked up and dangerous Joker is.
I kinda want them to remember Broly's movie, not because of Broly being canonized but because I want Goku to troll Vegeta "hey, isnt that the same transformation as Broly? you know, the one that turned you into a p*ssy? :wave: "

Piccolo makes more sense because of the movie and to get revenge because of the last tournament.
