How is Broly being a friend such a bad thing? I don't see an issue with that? The illustration of the Saiyan's history and the introduction of Broly in and of itself warrants it's existence to me.
Because he was first portrayed as an unstoppable evil force? Broly showing no sights of villany to be just a guy that is just there to fight even though he doesn't know why... Is just poor storytelling, people might say they improved his character from the past movies, but I never pictured Broly as sort of a anti hero, it doesn't feel right.

Nope, that's his motivation.
That's so damn out of character, can't believe Toriyama though that would be funny... He needs a director again.

So you mean no Big Bang Kamehameha on this movie? Meh

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

I don't care if you listen to me, it doesn't change what the facts are.
Also, it's hilarious that you make that little comment to me about head canon knowing your tendencies

Super carries on much of Dragon Ball and Z's charm in ways that might not immediately be obvious, while also bringing something new to the table. I certainly can't think of any previous arcs like Goku Black, and, for all its problems, the Tournament of Power is possibly the most ambitious storytelling endeavor in series history as far as how its narrative unfolds. It's also a thrill ride, which is all I wanted and exactly what I got. Super also canonizes decades old fan theories in ways that very naturally tie into the overall fabric of Dragon Ball's world in satisfying ways. All in all, Dragon Ball, Z, and Super are all well worth experiencing.

Some.spoilers say 3 times but what would be a failed 3rd fusion?
It would be Vegito
"I will concede that your feelings are worthy of the mightiest of Saiyans. However, there is more to my power than just this. Before you die, I will show it to you. This is the difference in power, between the primitive Saiyans and the evolved Tsufruians." ~Baby Vegeta
He is. Quality is one of the most subjective things out there. It is based on your own personal interpretation of the events and how that ties into your personal opinion on all of the different facets of a story that makes up the quality of it.
You can try to be more objective by remaining unbiased, but quality is ultimately subjective and varies from person to person in what they think about it. You can't objectively say somebody is wrong about quality, and that in and of itself makes it subjective.
Quality is subjective. You can have a film that is good in that direction well, have good acting, have an interesting story and conclusion. So it paper, it's a quality film, but no one wants to see it because it's boring, despite everything on paper saying that the film is good. We see this with many Oscar films. Movie that are indeed great quality, but moviegoing didn't see it because they rather watch Transformers.
Yeah. quality is subjective. That's what I said. You're literally agreeing with me but saying that the person I disagreed with is right.

I'll wait for official subs. The DB fandom likes to push their bias.
You know how bad the DB fandom can be.
The guy who watched the movie from narutoforums said ''Goku then goes on to say that Broly is an incredible fighter and that he might even be stronger than Beerus.'' Now all we can do is wait and see what the official subs say.

I wouldn't call Toei's version of Battle of Gods 'ambitious' since it recycled the Garlic Jr and Baba Saga. That and whitewash the Saiyans as being brainwash instead of just evil dicks.

No it doesn't. SSJ4's multiplier was nowhere stated nor implied to be nowhere near to potara fusions. That guide you are referring to merely point out that Buu arc Vegito was "perhaps stronger than a SSJ4", which suggest that SSJ4 much weaker than you think, while SSB is at least 50x SSG (since its SSJ x SSG).
It never said anythng about Buu arc Vegito. It was about Vegito overall.
Super Baby 1 was already stated to be stronger than Vegito and he was shit compared to SSJ4 Goku, so you're wrong.
And if base Gogeta is strongr than SSJ Blue it either retcons SSJ God being stronger than Vegito pretty much making SSJ4 far superior to Blue or it retcons statement about potara fusion being superior and just makes Gogeta far stronger than Vegito.

Lol pretty much
So both DBZ and EQG suffer from a lack of villains/too many reformed villains.
DBZ was filled with legit villains. Most of the characters that ever debuted in Z were villains, and only of fraction of them ever reformed.
zarmack wrote:If quality isn't objective then that means all DB media is equally good or bad, which is clearly false.
Wrong, again. Subectivity doesn't mean something is equally good or bad. It means that your judgement of something being good or bad is not an universal fact, since it relies in your personal taste and preferences. Taste and preferences vary from person to person. Like wise, their opinions on the artistic quality of a given work vary as well. And that variety of results proves the inherent subjectivity of it all.

People liking something more doesn't mean the product is quality, otherwise Mcdonalds' food is better quality than Jimmy Johns since more people eat Mcdonalds.
The original poster point was that you can disagree with Toriyama, but the fact remains that getting mad about something he clearly set forward and we even knew it was coming seems silly. Especially with people thinking Bardock saving Goku makes him 'good', completely ignoring he happily committed genocide.

But how is it a bad thing? So you mean that just because he was evil before he has to be now, if not it's bad even though it's overall much better written this time around?
I just don't understand how people are so stuck to some ideas and can't try new things. Old Broly was shit. He was evil and angry against Goku because Goku screamed while they was next to each other as kids. That's horrible. In this movie we still get the same old Broly but also a reason for it and a much better backstory to him as a whole... Well to be fair anything would be better that the original crap we got.
People are obviously entitled to their opinion but saying the new stuff is bad just because it's not like the old stuff is plain silly.

If you mean minor villains, true. Major villain, Vegeta turned good, Buu turned good, Super Buu didn't, Kid Buu was reborn into a good person. So that's about half of Z main villains who reformed. And if you include the Androids that bumps the number.

While I'm not 100% sure of this, it seems that Paragus mentions how this Ikari form (yellow eyes with huge muscles) is Broly using the Oozaru's power while in human form, and that it is very hard to control.
SSJ4 was in essence the mastering of the Oozaru power, melding the beast and the saiyan together as a one being, if that statement is accurate, could it be the foundation to eventually introduce SSJ4 into the new canon?

Toei's version still would have brought more tension and drama than the film we got. Also, Beerus wasn't said to have brainwash the Saiyans in this draft, only that he corrupted most of them. They would still have their free will and still would be responsible for what they did.
