Super doesn't have any filler.
Oh, there's filler, but it's also canon.
Eh. I dunno. They seem rather self-contained, never being referenced outside the filler itself. Plus, filler has resulted in a lot of inconsistencies in the Dragon Ball series, so I'm immediately skeptical when it happens in Super. At least so far the filler seems pretty inconsequential to world-building or overall plot, so it probably doesn't matter much either way.

That design looks great; very simple and Saiyan-arc like. Love the return of the Nyoibo and the loose belt, too. Hopefully it's actually representative of the movie and not just some promo art completely unrelated to its content.

That promo art looks great. I hope the movie looks like that and isn’t just an unrelated image like with what RF did.

Looks like a manga artist, but not quite Toriyama

What if this new movie is just retelling all of Goku's story? Through the perspective of maybe Yamoshi or whatever is name is...? Sort of like how Path of Power was a retelling for an anniversary and here they're celebrating a 20th movie.

Please let that be the style for the new movie, please please please! It's everything I could've hoped for in a Dragon Ball design. Way too good

The tagline says ''A Super movie begins''... interesting.... Goku looks great and also looks younger. Could this movie take place earlier? hmmmmm

The visual might not have any reflection on the plot. The first teaser image for RoF was a close-up of Super Saiyan Goku using Instant Transmission.

RF was also a rushed film. I want to believe Toei has learned their lesson.

Considering they rushed in a series right after RoF, I doubt that. Maybe third time's the charm?
Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

The movie was announced a year in advance and announced to have already started production.

Oh, my bad. I forgot about this tid-bit. Now I have more faith in this movie again.

Optimism? About a DB thing nowadays?

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Goku's beautiful flowy hair!
And nyoi-bo?! I love when he uses nyoi-bo in battle; it's been forever.
Fudge; if Goku's got a major role in this movie I'll be following its updates; of course I will. I feel like such an easy mark for this.
You've got my hopes partly back up, Shueisha. Please don't let me down now!

Apparently Tatsuya Nagamine will be the director of the film and Shintani Naohiro will be the newest character designer. That means no Tadayoshi Yamamuro to design the characters. He still can be an animation supervisor, though.
