Thoughts on the new Super movie title?

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
It's almost like it was made in the same franchise as something called Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.
I'm okay with it. I'm excited by what it could mean so I guess it translates a proper giddiness for slice of life silliness just fine. In the grand scheme of things, it feels a little trend chasing with anime and manga such as MHA and OPM being so popular and the whole Marvel superhero craze. I personally don't think that's the case, or rather I don't think that's the main point of the title. I do think it's genuinely something AT wanted to write.

Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-
Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is really goofy, the double Super is so weird to look at and say. But as long as the movie itself matches that goofiness by being a pretty casual, slice-of-life-y movie (which it sounds like it might be), I think the title will be just fine for it.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
In a world where we refer to Dragon Ball Super as "DBS" or just "Super", and refer to the movies by either their number or the main villain, this won't be any different. It's going to be "DBS: Super Hero" or just "Super Hero". Or even "Super movie 2".

It's literally Dragon Ball 2uper
Who knows, that might've even been the joke they intended to make. Probably not.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
It’s a terrible title. I don’t understand what they were thinking.
Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
Even a 10y kid would be able to come up with a catchy/interesting name. Damn sure muvie gonna be as generic, as bland as the name itself. But wouldn't be surprised if it gets heralded as greatest muvie ever made considering how even bog, rof, dbs broly were regarded as suchbaconisbacc wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 11:51 pm What are your opinions on the title of the new Dragon Ball Super movie?

It's ridiculous, it also sounds silly enough to be funny, so I like it

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
TOEI really should have left it as 'Dragon Ball Super : Hero'. Both 'Super Hero' and 'Hero' are generic titles, but at least the latter would be consistent with Broly in the sense all Super movies have 1 word titles after the colon.
If they were to go for a title with more than 1 word then 'New Hero' would be perfect, if the movie is indeed about Pan.
I'd also struggle to think of anything, narratively or otherwise, 'Super Hero' could achieve that 'Hero' couldn't.

Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula

If I were a man my manhood would be harmed beyond repair by the existence of this title.

"Dragon Ball Super: Hero" would have been amazing

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
It makes me hope Jiren and the Pride Troopers are in it. So much more that could be done with them.
But they probably won't be, unfortunately.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
"Dragon Ball Super Hero" I think would've been the best compramise. Is it "Dragon Ball Super - Hero" or "Dragon Ball - Super Hero"? It's both! would've been a lot more fun and sound nice, although their reason with "having Super twice really gives you a sense of how exciting it is!!" or whatever is very Japan.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
They obviously chose the title so we can abbreviate it down to Super² or 2uper
Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
They should have just used the Dragon Ball Z brand. DBZ Super Hero would sound better.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
It's pretty stupid sounding to be honest. It's like they went with the first suggestion someone made and never questioned it at any point. They might as well call it Dragon Ball Super Duper Hero.
Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
I'm fairly certain that's precisely how they come up with stuff for Dragon Ball. They accept the very first suggestion and just go with it without any thought or discussion prior to, during or after it.
I doubt coming up with names and titles is any different. I'd be lying though if I said I wouldn't get amused myself working like this. Imagine if Kevin Feige were like this, deciding to do the very first thing it pops up in his mind.

Re: Thoughts on the new Super movie title?
Where in Super is it stated that he'd be living with himself in the new timeline?
Anyway, the title is awkward and odd considering it's not a superhero story, but whatever.
