Maybe to a westerner. But how often do comic books get referenced in Japan? After Mr. Satan VS Saiyaman: Dawn of Justice someone at Toei likes DC.
Many anime characters has references to comics or hollywood movie characters etc i hate peeple who knows shit and complaining about Akira when everyone does it

Vs titles are common in Japan, like Godzilla vs. King Kong. It doesn't have to be reference to Batman vs. Superman.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I mean he says it is a lame Harley Quinn reference acting like Akira does it for the first time

For example Frieza 2 form is a reference to Alien or Cooler's form a reference to the Predator so i don't understand his complain

Female Broly? EXCUUUUUSE ME?? My friend sent me photos of it and I thought "Wow, look at this fan illustration of a gender-swapped character" to only later find out that IT WAS ACTUALLY REAL.

Holy shit. I actually cannot believe this. I mean... I'm definitely curious to see what happens. Hell, they nailed evil Goku, I can see this actually turning out alright but... IT'S ACTUALLY REAL??

They could have shown us other fighters instead of Goku and Vegeta fighting.

I wake up in my country to see my dub and what do I find, Brolyne and a clown. Oh Toriyama please never change :D

Loving the new designs.

I actually can't imagine any way for Female Broly to be good. At best, she'll be a somewhat poor-taste joke about a woman with two different personalities. Basically, Lunch 2.0, except she gets to punch someone at some point. Maybe. At worst, they'll overuse the joke or even worse, take her seriously. Like Toei trying to hint as much as possible that the Broly movies actually happened, guys! She's the counterpart to Broly! Broly exists! Buy those cards!

I wonder if she's just there to give 18 her designated female fight.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Man people needs to calm the fck down, theres nothing wrong with Toriyama making a female Broly or a joker and harley angel, they're just 3 of many characters to be exposed in the arc.

It can be good if done right.

What are the chances we'll get Mark Hamill and Tara Strong to voice the Clown GoD and Angel?

A boy can dream right?

I think it's amazing and some of these cry babies will literally find any excuse to moan, especially over 3 seconds of footage. We have no idea where they will take the Broly character. And I can't even fathom why people are complaining about the clear Joker/Haryley reference. It's really cool.

Do you have any good ideas of what they could do? I can't think of any.

Trailer was nice. I enjoyed seeing the Gods and Angels. Goku fighting the cool Wolf dude and Vegeta fighting the wacky teletubbie was great. Some of my favorite designs for characters. I'm hoping Kuririn of all people being shown in that preview hints towards him having a fairly significant role in this upcoming saga.

I think the only reason they specifically showed krillin is because episode 75 and 76 are about him fighting again.

All 10 should have a good role in the tournament.

I don't know what to think about all that new designs yet. I'll have to see them in motion for some time. But that female Broly better have some interesting background, otherwise it will be a very bad idea for a character.

There is nothing wrong with the designs. I dont expect female Broly to be that good anyway. They probably showed her on purpose to get this exact reaction from the fanbase and to generate excitement.

The big players in the tournament have not been shown on purpose such as the fighter that is covered. We are still missing gods and about 100 fighters.

Hopefully we will get more information soon.

Hooded guy with the Clown is probably a big player for the tournament.

Broly-chan is nice, we will get more story about the Saiyan in U6, and people wanted a female ssj. :D

You're right. Art doesn't work in terms of right and wrong. But I have to say that the clown, wolf and Broly designs were a disappointment to me. I expected a bit more, specially when this was the perfect creative opportunity.

Oh God I can already see the buff female broly x broly fanfiction/porn in the making O_o

I say we give her a chance there's no way her backstory can suck as badly as brolys...Maybe. If I've learned anything it's that towing knows how to F*** up something even when you don't think it's possible.
