The female Broly thing caught me off-guard so much that I actually had to double check the trailer to make sure it wasn't from DB Heroes.

There ok I guess, but I was expecting more from Toriyama. I was really expecting to be wow'd, it seems I'm in the minority though judging from the YT comment sections and from here everyone loves the designs.
I agree. Theyres not one design revealed that I really like besides for the Harley Quinn one. The Fox and cloak guy have potential but you can't get a good look. I might end up liking the wolf one too.

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.

You already know that the female Saiyan is going to be downplayed to hilarious levels like Broly is.
Though I'm not sure that's even possible since people try to delude themselves into believing that Broly is weaker than a Cell jr and that he fought weaker Z-fighters than their timeline placement would suggest.

People hated Beerus design back in 2012 and called him a Pokemon. Now he has become a fan favorite and will probably be remember for years to come. I think the new Gods should turn out fine and I can't wait to see them in action.

Agreed, the personality's are a huge factor when evaluating designs. I hope there's a lot of talking, so we can get to know everyone.

Anyone know when the voice actors are usually announced? All this potential for personality has gotten me unusually interested into that side of Dragon Ball.

I work all day and come home to insanity in the Dragonball world.

I really need time to process what I think of all this.

And people wonder how did Goku get downed by a laser gun.

Broly isn't stronger than cell though. Cell could run a train on the z fighters just as easily as broly did.

Looks to be a certainty now though that the recent Angel and Hakaishin revealed in V-Jump aren't a pair, as the Angel shown looks to be for the one yellow cat-like Hakaishin shown to the left of U10's group.

Cell could not beat Goku+Vegeta+Gohan+Piccalo+Trunks as easily as Broly did.

No Broly wanker by any means but i doubt Cell could tank a Kamehameha like Broly did.

What would feel an old Dragon Ball fan who hasn't watched Super or any of the movies so far and sees this trailer??

Broly is far beyond Cell considering that he tanked SSJ Goku's Super Kamehameha while full power Cell isn't even 2x stronger than the same Goku. Cell could likely beat down all of the Z-fighters, but that doesn't put him and Broly on the same level since Cell would need significantly more effort.

Your right that is a big part too, still a cool design can go a long way. It can make characters with the most bleak personality the most popular or fan-favorited.
Ex. Arima from Tokyo Ghoul. Janemba from Fusion Reborn. Broly didn't have much personality either his LSSJ form was just cool asf.

He really could though. Cell was going easy on Goku. Everyone was absolutely shook by his power when he fully showed it. Cell destroyed Vegeta and Vegeta didn't get much stronger from his second year in the HTC. The only debatable ones would be Gohan and Goku which would most likely get destroyed considering everyone's reactions to cells power up against Gohan. For them to react like that it had to have been way stronger than him against Goku.

The difference between ss2 Gohan and cell was less than 2x but look what happened .

That clown God will definitely steal scenes no doubt about it.

Has Toriyama read fanfics? I like the idea of a female super saiyan but Fem Broly is so out there for me. Broly fans have returned full force with full ammunition. The speculations in the coming weeks to Feb 5 will be the most this community has seen in a long time.

I watched Super's episode 75 but I don't really care. That 15 second trailer of the upcoming arc had me replaying it countless times.

What does that have to do with anything? Full power Cell wouldn't even tank SSJ Goku's standard Kamehameha(over 2x amp) let alone the Super variant(logically a 4x amp at the very least), so he is weaker than Broly by far.
