Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
Other movies I have noticed seem to be far longer than Broli. It felt like a lot of things were rushed through which seems to be the case I think because of how much was cut out. Throughout the entire movie we could have gotten a scene of how Burdack went to confront Freeza but was stopped at the atmosphere.
I’d love to see a uncut version but I don’t think they made it that far even with animating. Is there a reason DB was cut down like this and limited? I think it’d be a huge treat to see a movie that isn’t cut to the point where it feels like the story is rushed through.

This is precisely why I want an anime adaptation when Super returns.Aim wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 6:22 pm Other movies I have noticed seem to be far longer than Broli.

You can expand so much from the movie like having Gohan fucking exist.

Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
It’s 100 minutes long. That’s a pretty respectable runtime for an animated movie.

I guess, but I don’t get why they needed to condense it to 100 minutes specifically.WittyUsername wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 9:11 pm It’s 100 minutes long. That’s a pretty respectable runtime for an animated movie.
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
Production time plus not wanting to run a 180 minute kids movie means having to cut scenes.

Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
It's still out of character for him to not show up. You have this new treat on Earth, you have both Goku and Vegeta retreating and fucking Freeza fighting and Gohan does what exactly?Aim wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 8:46 pmI don’t think Gohan would do much.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 6:59 pmThis is precisely why I want an anime adaptation when Super returns.Aim wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 6:22 pm Other movies I have noticed seem to be far longer than Broli.

At least Piccolo has an excuse but what about the others?
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
His excuse would be to stay out of Goku and Vegeta’s way, they are no match for Broli and there’s no way they wouldn’t have felt his presence. They probably sat back and felt the ki skyrocket. When there’s a threat like Broli it’s best not to get a whole bunch of people involved which inhibits Goku and Vegeta’s ability to go all out without worrying.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 2:43 amIt's still out of character for him to not show up.

Plus Freeza easily had it covered, one could make the argument he is so far beyond Gohan at this point that Gohan showing up would do nothing. I say this because this seems like a story that came from Toriyama’s timeline of events, in which I’m not sure whether Gohan would be as strong as Freeza, if he were he’d be there.
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
Less showings per day can be scheduled when your movie is 180 minutes. Furthermore, not every family can sit through a 180 minute film.

Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
100 minutes is a substantial run time for a feature length film. I believe it is the longest of any DB movie.

But what would be the point? Plot points for the sake of plot points doesn't make a story better.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 6:59 pmThis is precisely why I want an anime adaptation when Super returns.Aim wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 6:22 pm Other movies I have noticed seem to be far longer than Broli.

Super: Broly is unapologetically an NJPW wrestling match. The soundtrack straights up do wrestling chants throughout the fight. You run into the issue with the anime adaptations on the Super films where the pacing just fucking dies because they have to make it work as a legitimate arc. If Broly is gonna make an appearance in a Super anime, the writers would be smart to assume that everyone who is watching already watched the movie.
And if for some reason you haven't: Plot spoilers.
Goku, Vegeta and Broly fight
Broly loses
The end.
Now you're caught up.

Goku and Vegeta retreaded and Broly beat up Freeza for a fucking hour.

Gohan and the rest of the fighters went both times to face Freeza when he invaded Earth even though they couldn't do anything. No matter what excuse you give, it's out of character for them to not show up.

Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
Not all stories need to be 180 minutes long and making it 180 minutes was probably beyond the staff capabilities under their schedule, unless you made them crunch to the bone.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
He wouldn’t blow up the Earth, the guy was dead focused on Freeza and I doubt Freeza would allow that anyway considering he’d go bye bye along with him most likely, being so damaged and all.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 12:19 pmGoku and Vegeta retreaded and Broly beat up Freeza for a fucking hour.

After Supers schedule, I am convinced it should be illegal to put people on such a tight schedule.Neo-Makaiōshin wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 4:00 pmNot all stories need to be 180 minutes long and making it 180 minutes was probably beyond the staff capabilities under their schedule, unless you made them crunch to the bone.

2) Freeza won't die with Earth's explosion.
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
First of all, Broli won’t die either, second of all, Gohan has a family to protect and is no match for Broli at this point. Most likely he was with his family trying to prepare to get the hell off of Earth in case anything happened. Or, you know, he had faith that those two would figure something out.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 12:22 am1) Gohan has no way of knowing he won't do it.Aim wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 9:41 pmHe wouldn’t blow up the Earth, the guy was dead focused on Freeza and I doubt Freeza would allow that anyway considering he’d go bye bye along with him most likely, being so damaged and all.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 12:19 pm

That excuse for Gohan doesn't work. In RoF, he didn't stay with his family. He went to face Freeza.
Re: Why was DBS: Broli cut to be so short?
The difference is no one was there to fight Freeza, here Broli is occupied with Freeza.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 12:42 pmBroly will die, he can't breathe in Space.Aim wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 1:49 amFirst of all, Broli won’t die either, second of all, Gohan has a family to protect and is no match for Broli at this point.

These are super powered warriors, Broli may not be able to breathe in space but he can probably survive with a ki barrier and the fact his lungs could probably handle it.
No offense, but this just feels like a typical Gohan fan who wants an excuse to put him in completely disregarding his character.
