As long as it has nothing to do with SDBH, it might be fun. The story and characters in Heroes are awful, it's like bad fan fiction.

(I do love the Heroes game by the way, I just hate the original plots and characters. )

Agreed. Heroes has so thoroughly run that well dry that "doing it for real" wouldn't have as much impact.

Dragon Ball Super had well over than one year to do that before Dragon Ball Heroes started doing it, but they preferred to waste time retelling what didn't require to be retold in the first place.

We may lose the "shocking value" and "impact" but who knows what else could be done if they ever (and finally) decide to do it in the series.

Thinking about this more, I actually like how the DBZ movie that used this idea way back in the 90s did things. Cell and Freeza (and Hitler) escaped from hell but they're such pushovers at this point that Trunks and Gotenks took care of them easily.

This kind of wacky, pandering, meme-like idea is best handled with humor. That wasn't a great movie, but they did get one thing right!

If SDBH didn’t exist, I’m almost convinced that a movie where a bunch of past Toei villains show up to cause havoc, and Goku teams up with his GT counterpart to stop them, would’ve caused the fandom to have an orgasm.

Maybe something like Super and GT timelines crossing over, or timelines involving both Brolys (if we're assuming Broly has two movie versions) may work out.

A true hero goes beyond not the limits of power, but the limits that divide countries and people.
