How can a robot attain god status?? I don't care about the design even though it's just a copy of Robo, but I really need an explanation as to how a robot became a god. Unless he's also a Metal Man, which would be boring.
Yeah, it's most likely a Metal Man.

Probably unintentional, since GT was taking cues from Toriyama's mechanical designs, but that robotic god of destruction totally looks like Lood.

Lood Cult was right.

Wonder if Toriyama is gonna keep using the alcohol theme for the gods names or if thats just a Beerus and Champa thing, I wanna know what kind of drinks or food he is gonna use for their names and I also wanna know what's the great priest's real name.

So I wasn't the only one thinking about Lood when looking at this robot.

It's fake. The dwarf is drawn in a way that doesnt look like anything from super.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I am gonna be the optimistic one and say that I love ALL the new GoD designs. No one here has realized the clown's attendant has twin tails yet? Like a certain famous comic book Clown's attendant/henchwoman? That alone makes me love them. Also love the theme behind other gods from Mythology with Norse, Hindu and more. Seems Clown is the odd man out for now which MIGHT be important to the arc.

Also like.WHAT THE HELL WITH BROLY!? LIKE WHY? WHAT? WAS THIS TOEI OR TORIYAMA'S DECISION?!

Well, it's not like Broly fans don't deserve to be slapped in the face. Repeatedly.
His haters are just as bad as the fanboys.

Not really. He is a shit character, appealing only to the most primitive instincts and representing the lowest common denominator of DB fans. And he was motivated by a crying baby. That's really dumb.

You wanted Broly? You wanted Female SS's? JUST TAKE IT!!! And that is when Toriyama lets the movies be canon, we get this damn crap.

If Broly is now a Hulk style introverted female, I guess it's a better version. Then again the original Broly got triggered into hulk mode too.
*sigh* just depends what her trigger is. If it's Cabba crying, then we're gonna have problems.

Yep. Especially when he's been irrelevant for so long, and people still wouldn't stop talking about him whether positively or negatively. So I am enjoying myself from the haters right now.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

My fantasy scenario is that someone at Toei said, "Can we use Broli this arc? He's a very popular character," and Toriyama sent them back that.

Also, just leaving it here: Xenoverse doesn't "try to make the movies canon". It tries to make them fit the timeline or even less: simply make them happening possible. It can't make the movies canon, because it itself isn't canon. It's just a game.

Also, even the Legacy of Goku series did that to many characters, from Princess Snake to Janemba.

Harley Quinn and the Joker...is canon.

I mean we got Suppaman, and now these guys. It looks like we'll get a mix of DC Universe Characters and, characters from the Movies. We got Broly, now we just gotta wait for the Evil Female Namekian character of Universe 6....(aka female lord slug)
