Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

This "new" Broly is a very interesting idea, they can do anything with him, its pretty exciting. You know who else they could do something interesting and exciting? Someone completely new, and not even saiya-jin, you know, something that shows they can do something besides being stagnant....

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

Nakamura and Takami's interview about the universal survival arc more than demonstrates that there was indeed a great amount of thought and care placed into creating the TOP and I think it goes into a lot of depth about how and why they handled things the way they did. To each their own, I think th...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

He's too popular to kill off now. I thought everyone here knew death is a joke in DB. what do you think of the character art on the film poster? I think its at least massively better than the posters we got for ROF and BOG. The new poster looks good, but the BoG and RoF posters at least had more ch...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

Any open bets on a scene having New Broly tank Goku's Kamehameha, then grab him by the face? Hopefully not, that scene already got into DBS via Kēru. Broly, so aside of the lazyness of not even thinking of a new name, I'm in. Chosing Broly as the villain was lazy, leaving his name untouched was not...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

#1) This was the editor's idea not Akira's. They've made it clear time and again that he gets the final say in what happens so he could've turned this down as he did many of their innital ideas. Still not his idea, and that's what I going for. Copying an idea and recycling an idea are the exact sam...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

For me DB died when Goku took off with Uub, after that the "Dragon Ball: Cash Grab" series began. Everything is cash grab. No one does anything without aiming to profit. Being "cash grab" is not a bad thing unless you do it soulless I don't bother using the term "cash grab&...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

Toriyama actually took his time to write a full movie script for you all and y’all just keep on complaining. We’re actually getting some new straightforward canon DB content yet y’all persist to complain why? Oh, the great Akira took his precious times to deliver something so that Dragon Ball may c...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

I think the issue with the backlash is that we have nothing to judge off of except for a single piece of the premise I'm not complaining about the final product, since that's not out obviously, but I don't like anything I've seen so far. • Art • Concept • Recycled Villain That analogy doesn't work ...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

It would be amusing if Toriyama actually pretended to connect all the past Broly movies with Super, like Goku coming up with: "Broli! Are you still alive?" If by "amusing" you mean "terrible" then yeah, it would be. Did Kale backfire so badly that they had to go and ma...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

I think Toriyama deciding to contradict everything in the Bardock special with a short poorly written story kind of established canon is whatever he feels like it is at the moment. If we took manga as the only canon (as it should IMHO) then there was no problem there. The good ol' days, when by rea...

Re: Official "DB Super 2018 Movie" Discussion Thread

I highly doubt that Broly is going to be any different than what he’s been. He’ll go berserk, trounce Goku and co for 40 min, then Goku will go ultra instinct, commence 5 minutes of expensive spectacle, Goku wins the day. See? Just spoiled the movie for everyone. That’s what you get for expecting a...

Re: addressing some DBS criticism

It looks similar because Because Akira is lazy, that was pretty clear when he used a color-swap for SSGSS, and then confirm it even further with his "design" of UI look, he just took SSG Goku design and changed the eyes, and the color of the hair. SSJB can do what Goku was training SSJ to...

Re: addressing some DBS criticism

and SSJG had far more changes than the Original SSJ -the hair is slightly heightened on his head, it’s far more straightened and evenly curved, no loose hairs as opposed to base. -Skin actually changes color -slimmer and more lean muscles -Proportions are lankier in the arms and legs, taller. -face...

Re: Do you prefer SSJB or SSJ4?

I always liked SS4 but felt like it shouldn't be called SS4. SS was established as a legendary Saiyan warrior with golden hair. SS4 needs SS though, it's connected, that's why. You don't need SSJ2 or SSJ3 to become SSJ4. It's just called SSJ4 for fanservice reasons. I can't see any other option. I ...

Re: Would you have liked to see Paikuhan/Pikkon in the Universe Survival Arc?

Beerus had figured Freeza, at the time he went to sleep, to be the most powerful mortal at the time. Just that SSJ3, while certainly more than enough to deal with Freeza, just didn't mean much of anything compared to Beerus. Well, most powerful RELEVANT mortal at the time, remember Buu? So, if that...

I am going to address the faulty logic and biases behind a lot of these criticisms. "All of the transformations are just lazy recolors!" -The most iconic scene in the entire series is simply Goku changing the color of his hair from Black to Gold. Color changes being transformations is a c...

Re: Would you have liked to see Paikuhan/Pikkon in the Universe Survival Arc?

It would be nice to see Paikuhan, but he's filler, so, either re-introduce him into the story or no thanks. I'm VERY disappointing in team 7 roster, besides Freezer I'm not impressed at all, so that's what U7 was, just Earth had any powerful warriors, that's underwhelming. We could've easily gotten ...

Re: Do you prefer SSJB or SSJ4?

I wouldn't exactly say those idea's were directly inspired by fan-fiction, I think it has far more to do with Toei staff members recylcing idea's that had already caught traction, or taking inspiration from other popular works. #1) The arc ideas are supposedly Akira's doing. #2) You don't have to a...
