Really at this point I am extremely disappointed at how Toei NA & Funimation are handling this.
I'm sorry but what Language do most Westerns speak? Why English of course! Funimation is trying to make bank so they will dub it as to cater to fans and casuals. That makes sense.
People go to the theatre to watch a film not to read a film. Get the novel if you want to read it. You want to hear the JPN's acting you say? A home release is sure to come. Do you see where I'm going with this?
Think like a Corporation trying to make money instead of a JPN Dub fan who wants to hear "Osu! Ora Son Goku!' And you'll release a Sub release in the US is not needed. Neat at best, unnecessary at best.

Ok I am so sick of this argument. Last time I checked most people speak English in the UK too. So why can they get the subbed release?
Every other anime film released in the US is shown subbed AND dubbed. No one is saying the film should only be released subbed. It’s about having choices. God forbid I say I want to see the subbed version in theaters too and I get dub only fans saying we don’t go to movies to read subtitles. Well I am sorry that you can’t read subtitles but after watching foreign films all my life including anime I have no problem watching a film and reading subs.
And these days most fans watched the Japanese version of Super streaming well before the dub version. There is nothing wrong with the dub but there is no good reason why we can’t have both!

Really this face it's not like a mediocre fan art?
LMAO it looks drawn by a child.
Compare to this, for example:
This is animation/art 101. Something being simpler in design doesn't mean it's "worse". It's a different style. Get ready for me to blow your mind, but A LOT of people prefer the real poster over that fanart you posted. People don't have the same tastes with artwork. Crazy, right?
When you say it looks like it's "drawn by a child", there are tons of people including myself that literally have no idea what you're talking about. So stop speaking so matter-of-fact with opinions on artwork.

Regarding Gogeta’s new look, I’m kind of disappointed that his widow’s peak is less prominent now. He looks too much like Gohan now.

EVERY other anime release by FUNimation in theaters has dub AND sub screenings. Every. Single. One. Stop with this argument, I'm sick of it.

If you take westernes as a broader sense then sorry to burst your bubble but Spanish should be the first language way before English and French.

Personally I don’t have any interest in watching dub version . Hopefully a sub version will be available somehow even before the movie is in u.s theatres .
It was as if a whole lot of people ...were screaming in pain....

My gosh. Did Funimation really use the word "canon" to justify something about Gogeta
here? What in the actual fuck.
Whoever runs Funimation PR is a brainless tool for the cancerous part of the fandom.

Actually, Toriyama has colored it black multiple times. So he is being consistent with his work.

Why? Because you want it? That's not how it works. He shouldn't do what you want because you want it. He should do that he wants because it's his views of the character that are being represented. You, as part of the audience, don't get to dictate what the artist should or shouldn't do.

"Multiple times?" He only did it once as far as I've checked, but that was even with
Gogeta's colors.

Examples of Toriyama official colors of Gotenks' jacket are here:
and they're not even black.
You don't get it. I'm not trying to say what he should do. I'm pointing out the fact that this Gogeta recolor is absolutely pointless and unnecessary because if it does represent his "view" of the character, then it makes zero sense to have changed it in the first place.

It's not only Funimation. Bandai Namco US can be something else too.
They just acknowledged
No Nut November.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

What’s wrong with that? Canon simply means something that is created by it’s original author. Gogeta in this case has been re-written and re-designed by Toriyama himself. Therefore, by the power of the dictionary, Gogeta is “Canon”. Wether you, or Toriyama, likes to use that word or not. Also, your last sentence is not within the spirit of
Kanzenshuu.

Toriyama's interpretation of Gogeta could be more than just his visual design, like his personality, case in point:
DBZ Movie 12 Gogeta
vs
DBS movie Gogeta
While the second video doesn't show a lot, just by looking at the first second of the second video you can see that Super!Gogeta has a different demeanor than DBZM12!Gogeta.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

By this logic, almost no western comic is canon within its continuity.
Anything official within the franchise can be considered canon until Toriyama, Toei, or Shueisha come out and directly state that such and such is the true canon. That's how I see it, anyways.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

The nitpicking over Gogeta's different jacket color from his movie 12 days is minute as Bardock not having his headband.
Toriyama is the boss. It's his series, if he wants characters that's under his flag that he didn't create to appeal more to his style in his story that's an authority card being pulled.
I understand the fans feelings for Bardocks emotion behind the headband in the TOEI original [ Done under Toriyama/Shueisha authority/rights] but Dragonball is not theirs.
So if Toriyama wants to take TOEI's created Bardock [Under DB's name] and put him in a story that is in line with Dragonball's world [Minus] then so be it, Toriyama has that right cause it's his story.
It's no different with Gogeta's jacket and Broly's image. Toriyama himself stated he would do somethings with Broly's character. He even looks slightly different from TOEI's Broly. So he can do the same with Gogeta.

What!? So it does not matter what Toriyama thinks, there is a canon because you,
GodVegetto91 from an American forum, want the franchise to have?

You can check the Chōgashū for more. In any case, it's beside the point. Wether he drew it once, various times or never, it still his prerrogative on how he wants to design and color his character, for his story, on the fictional universe he created.
Wether's he's 1%, 10%, 100% similar to the design of Toei's iteration or something completely different, it's his decision. And the reason is how he views the character. To imply that there's no reason is nonsensical. Movie 13, what's in it and how it's designed is not part of the process for how he sees his stuff.
