Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

In Super Piccolo got yelled off the stage by Vegeta in the U6 Tournament arc and lost to Jiminy Cricket in the ToP , he deserved 15 new transformations with his theme song played by Metallica in the background. Hah, good one. And he didn't even cry in the manga at that lol Partly amusing that he al...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I mean, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives in terms of Gohan getting involved, but I can't shake the feeling that he felt shoehorned into this. Believe me, I love Gohan, but something about this movie just feels different to me compared to other Gohan-focused outings. After learning ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I have to ask, does anyone else feel like Gohan was kind of forced into action for this movie (and not in a good way)? I haven't seen Super Hero yet, but from what I've heard and/or seen, I think I'd be more into this movie if Toriyama was allowed to make a Piccolo-focused story like he wanted to (...

why does Beast Gohan's transformation mimic SSJ2's if it doesn't really work here?

like that one was supposed to represent Gohan losing his innocence, right? well he can't lose it TWICE so what's the point here?
No, that's just fan headcanon.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The movie was produced in a cooperative effort between Toriyama and his editors. Just because someone (Iyoku) suggested something, doesn't make it any less valid when the script went back and forth between all parties for two years. The previous movie, Broly, also happened because it was suggested ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I wish they let AT make this just a Piccolo movie. It was clearly designed to be that way, and I love all the parts Piccolo plays in the movie. Gohan is just so boring of a character. He's still just the same 1 trick pony after all these years. He slacks off, then oh hold up, he pulls a random powe...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Saiyaman doesn't belong in this film as the super heroes are the Gammas and it is that way because Gohan and Piccolo and co. are set up as the "villains". Yeah, I know what the premise is. It wasn't impossible to work Saiyaman into that. Off the top of my head: Since the Gammas are alread...

Agreed. The only things I've heard about the film that make me roll my eyes are both related to Final Gohan. In fact, between Final Gohan and Gohan's relationship with Pan not getting the payoff it needed despite the set up (and the missed opportunity for Great Saiyaman hijinks with the superhero t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Considering how close we are to End of Z, it would be great if the next movie was set after it. Pan played a semi-important role in this one, and she would likely also be among the leading characters in a post-EoZ one, alongside Uub. But I guess it’s still too soon for that. To be honest I think Su...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Orange Piccolo makes sense with the dragon balls being orange. Hopefully this will now keep Piccolo in future arcs and raise his popularity even more. He's consistently in the top 5, so I don't see that changing much. There's a chance he could overtake Gohan, but I don't think he will. The two of t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I don't know how to feel about that now that I know he wasn't supposed to be in it originally. Piccolo hyping up Gohan comes with the territory once Gohan is involved because of the nature of their relationship but I like that for once the focus is on the teacher rather than the student. Still, can...

He's an audience PoV character but Gohan is still integral to the plot and without him the movie would be completely different. A lot of Piccolo's role is there to hype up Gohan. The RRA was always going to kidnap Pan to lure Gohan into conflict regardless of Piccolo observing that conversation or ...

Movie is fun. And Gohan didn't actually get weak or lose his forms so... all that concern was over nothing. Piccolo wanting him to be active is all played in a very self-aware way.

Most of the larger fanbase (that is, casual enjoyers who don't post on forums or social media) just want to see "new Dragon Ball" so I'm sure it'll do fine.

Them trading in Goku and Vegeta for inferior characters like Pan and Gotenks just seems like a bad idea all around. They should have took what worked from Broly and tried to improve on it. Kept the animation, the quality of the action and just improved on the story. I wouldn't be surprised if it fa...
