None of the characters in the new RRA were seen in the old RRA arc, at the very least

If that's your argument then I'm just going to argue that Canon Cooler wouldn't be the same Cooler seen in the old movies.

Just like Canon Broly is not the "I am the Devil" psychopath from the DBZ movie.

Those characters are just versions of pre-existing characters with the same basic traits, whereas the new RRA group, AFAWK, are significantly more different from the old RRA group.

The light novel adaption of the movie will still be released on April 25. Ready for spoilers.

Oh nice, so it will be even HARDER to avoid spoilers, since all the people who read that novel will be only to happy to share the story online.

That's honestly the icing on the cake.

wha-WHY?! Why would they release the light novel months before the film is released?! Considering this release date would have coincided with the film's premiere, I hope the light novel will be pushed back along with the film...

lmao whoopsie :P Like that one reply says, ですよね。
Delaying the movie release was probably a pretty hastily made decision, even if it took a few days, so it makes sense that some info still has to be updated.

Excellent. Not long to know the plot.

Edit: Damn it.

Do you prefer reading light novels before watching their corresponding films?

Lol what marketing? :D Oh you mean the 50 sec “trailers” of the only decent still shots or ones with minimal movement which are mostly the same ones we’ve already seen?

I’m sure they’d make it back from revenue Dokkan & Legends brings in a month. I highly doubt this movie has a very high budget based off whats been shown.

I’d take canceling over gambling with what is an obvious flop that can be avoided. One bad movie and the franchise dies
This is insane. You know that right?

The funny thing about that perspective is, there have only been what, 2 "good" DB movies? Maybe 3?

Yes, because DB is a niche franchise with a very small viewership everywhere, a single bad movie risks killing everything.

I doubt even who propose it believe it (like with many "predictions"), but there is no way one movie can even seriously damage the franchise, it would be not awful enough like DBS anime or "too awful to be even considered" like Evolution.

I hadn't come to account that Evolution is just as official. lol
And if anything, it was so bad it helped revive the franchise.
