I’m going spoilerless from the 14th of November, so I may as well let out my opinions before the plot gets all spoiled out. I am glad that they basically spoiled nothing meaningful so far.
I fully believe Minus can be fixed. I am also sure that, even if Toriyama considers it perfect and left it as is for the movie, that Nagamine will do a great job at directing it.
I don’t think it’s that hard to “fix” Minus. What I would do is to:
- Show some Saiyan check on Goku’s low power level and tell Bardock and Gine that their son is a low class scum as them, and will have to be sent to conquer a planet and come back stronger or die trying. The second trailer deemed Goku a “low-class warrior” so at least they are keeping that intact, of course. I just want them to re-iterate, either through the past scenes or in the present with Paragus and Broly, that Goku is, and will always be, someone who was born powerless and built up his strength through his hard work and hard battles.
- Bardock should suspect of Freeza due to some better proof. Actually, he shouldn’t be the only one to suspect Freeza. Him and his group (the same guys from the special) should all suspect of Freeza and go around trying to recruit other Saiyans, but being laughed on for being just trash Saiyans whose brains are as large as their power levels.
Hearing of this, not wanting to play any chance, Dodoria/Zarbon/Ginyu force/whoever would lure Bardock’s team to another planet, telling them that they are indeed right and that Freeza will kill all the Saiyans, but also telling them not to bring any scouters. There, on the planet, the crew would be attacked and killed. The scene should be like in the TV special, with Bardock arriving (having heard of where his mates went), having a last talk with Towa, grabbing the headband and filling it with his crew’s blood. We know Bardock confronted Freeza with a new headband and new armour from what he has in Minus, so there must be a reason for this change of look and the TV special already gave us a perfectly good one.
- Bardock must confront Freeza “until the very end” as the manga said.
Just keep the same fucking badass scene we all love. Do not change anything at all and BAM, there we have Minus fixed.
Of course I am very curious to see how they will handle it. It seems like the past part will go on for around 20-30 minutes, which doesn’t sound too good and I am basically expecting Minus to be re-told as is, also showing King Vegeta and Paragus, showing a little more of the other Saiyans and their relationship with Freeza, and rapidly tell what happened in the month between Goku’s departure and Planet Vegeta’s destruction.
Still, I have faith it will be entertaining.
