i give it a 9.5 my only complain is Whis i think he was unnecessary in this movie

i really love the relationship of Broly and Cheelai i felt for her lol i was scared that Frieza will kill her but thank god nothing happend

it's really rare for me to care for a character in Dragonball who was a unknown character

What exactly separates Movie 8 Broly from Movie 10 Broly aside from smirks and edgy one-liners?

Is that a serious question or are you trying to be polemical?

It's a legitimate question. There's not much to him. He hates KAKAROTOOO . He likes to destroy and murder. Dassit.

Old Broly didn't want to be left alone. If Paragus didn't have that ring controlling his emotions he'd be off rampaging and destroying shit. New Broly is more like an uncivilized Gohan

Ok, you were not serious. You are reductionistic for polemical purpose. Classic Broly hatred.

I don't really see why you're being dismissive here. In Movie 8s flashbacks all Broly wanted to do was kill, kill, and kill again, with Paragus at the end of his wits trying to figure out how to get him out under control. There's not one hint to there being any layers to his personality.

Okay? He stated his case, prove him wrong instead of saying he has blind hatred for the sake of a diatribe. Because, well, he's not wrong. Any depth old broly had was because of Paragus. By himself he's a raging, edgelord who revels in sadism. Raging, paragus and lack of personality aside, how is that any different or better than say,, piccolo, vegeta, nappa, freeza, cell, the cell jrs, the future androids, spopovich, the buus, most any of the movie villains??? Almost all of whom are/were sadists who reveled in the suffering of their opponents. The reason people think Broly as a character, not as a design/figure, a CHARACTER is bland, boring and basic is because outside a fantastic design, there's not much to him that wasn't done better elsewhere in the same series. Now Paragus, THAT'S a good...ish, character

Kinda correct but also wrong in the sense that do some good visual cues with his character.

I'd say while he rages a lot like old Broly to the point of not speaking(at least in the later 2 movies) but I feel they do a good bit to make it work. I started to see what was said behind the scenes about Broly expressing himself through the fight. don't get me wrong is not 10/10 poetry but I was satisfied.

I am being dismissive because I have explained that ad infinitum already and I will not repeat this for every person that comes in and says "Broly has no personality". You can also not expect me to actually take the time to do it again considering you think it is reasonable to equalize Broly 8 and Broly 10. That alone shows no matter how much time I invest to post it again will be in vain. The TLDR version of my former posts was and will be: Old Broly was a 2-dimensional cardborad cutout. New Broly is just a one-dimensional cardboard cutout with the one dimension being nicer crafted now. Both are not the creme de la creme but it seriously does not render everything Broly was before null. Heck, you know what? I explained it even in June already. So I explained it very often in half a year actually. Do you really think it is reasonable to demand from a person to repeat themselves 100 times when 100 people come in?

Do me a favor and mind your own business because you are not involved in this, it will not help and you also have not read my former posts from the last days. I am not just randomly saying "lol no". I made my case BEFORE already. I even started an argument with a guy having no idea of what personality is while I do since I have a degree in psychology - which he also acted like it meant nothing even though it is fundamental to know what personality is which is a word that is just as misused as autism these days. And that is not even the main focus of the problem.

And as a closing statement: "Edgelord Edgy is Edgy" is not an argument for the absence of character. It is cliché but it is part of a character as well.

You question and complain ad nauseum about other people's perfectly valid opinions regarding Toei's Broly and when they question you back asking for arguments you retreat to a basic "no, I've already explained myself". Well, nobody has to keep track of what you said or agree with it. If you are going to question someone else, you might as well explain your point.

Saying that it is reasonable to read already existing explanations to not waste time is not "retreat". This forum has a post history for every user. And don't go down the personal criticizing road. There is plenty wrong with your constant posting behaviour and you don't see me intruding one of your arguments telling you what your flaws are, for which I cannot think of a good justification.

Thank you. I mean seriously, I've made maybe 5 posts in this thread over the last several months, I'm not exactly familiar with every argument that goes on here. Explain yourself instead of being overly defensive and dismissive.

Sigh. Okay, I will - to not disturb the flow - post you a long PM. But don't expect me to write much new for it. I will copy a lot of stuff from my post history.

Oh i'm soory, thought this was an open forum where people could discuss and express their opinions. Oh wait it is?? Well i do declare! How bout this, instead of acting like a brat when you get asked to explain your point, explain your point so as to avoid any confusion. Don't care if you've already stated it. Tl;dr it if you don't feel like it, because homie i ain't going through how ever many posts and pages to see you exonerate Broly's lack of character. Act like an adult... You are an adult aren't you? Do me a favor and don't answer that, i don't care.

It is amusing how people always try to defend their interference with the open forum, freedom of speech stuff. It does not actually help if your interference itself does not solve an already existing problem and you only interfere to support a person that already got a very reasonable answer. And yes, believe it or not, "I will not post the same thing again for all 100 people" is a reasonable answer. Anyway, I gotta write jjgp the PM I promised him.
Boku no Hitto wrote:Don't care if you've already stated it.
If you don't care for an easy solution then you do not care about the other person's post anyway. No matter if it is written again or you if you have to look it up as content-wise it makes no difference. What you are basically saying is "I do not want to waste my 5 mins of time to read something I do not care about. Rather waste your 20 mins of posting everytime for every person".

There is so much wrong with that co-existing in one and the same post.

But you are already "wasting time" repeating your complaints over and over to different people that happen to have a very common and valid opinion that you disagree with. Since you are the one questioning and arguing those opinions, the burden is on you to explain your side of things. Not on each one of them to guess it or track down your post history or replies to others. And even if they are aware of your opinion, they are still allowed to state theirs and disagree with yours.

You know what? I will copy it in an extra file from now on. I basically will do the same thing for jjgp anyway.

"Edgy one-liners?" What the hell is this even?

In M8 he had a fleshed-out personality and a cruel, sadistic nature as marked by his interactions with the fighters and his father.

In M10 all he says is "Kakarotto!" and one other line to Gohan.

You are reducing the analysis through a stereotypical fandom generalization. I can hardly blame Cetra for not taking you seriously. Might as well reduce Goku's character to "Fight strong guys! Eat food! Bad father." Or Vegeta's character to "Surpass Goku! Muh Bulma! He likes to train." Yep, not much to Goku or Vegeta either when you reduce them like that.

M10 Broly is a caricature of his M8 personality. In M8 there is very little to no indication that he specifically hates Goku, as that happens only in M10 and for good reason.

Yeah. Old Broly had absolutely no layers to his personality. Up there with Boo as one of the worst characters in the franchise IMO.
