How would you feel about a Bardock series?
Anyone else starting to want a Bardock series after all this new Bardock content in Super?
Bardock could start off as a solider who dislikes Frieza and slowly starts to distrust Frieza and his men. Helping various people he's set to conquer and undermining the empire in subtle ways. Then by the end of the series, it could escalate into a full scale rebellion and adaptation of the Bardock special..
Plus, it could be cool to see old faces back. Zarbon, Dodoria, the Ginyu Force, Cui, Nappa, Raditz, King Vegeta, Bardock's squad. It could be an interesting time to incorporate a canon Cooler and show how King Cold knows about Beerus & Buu. We could see Beerus authorize Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta on screen finally as well.

A more fleshed out Bardock would make me like the character again.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
"Starting"? No. I've been wanting a Bardock series for as long as I know myself.
It would be great if the series actually started with a teenager Bardock, as we see him getting the iconic scar. Maybe showing for a brief moment his parents (possibly his siblings), how he met Gine and a few missions of them together before a timeskip. All of this could be, like, five or ten minutes into the show, nothing that drags or anything. Though I'd like that Bardock and Gine could get a proper screentime since their relationship isn't common among Saiyans.
It would be cool if, despite being a Bardock series, we could also get more of the Saiyans in general and a King Vegeta story as well. Or just do a King Vegeta series too, but that would feel kinda redundant. It's becoming a bit annoying that they keep mentioning Tarble but he never appears, so there's that.
The headband is a must, no matter what. It must depict Bardock getting it.
End it with a silhouette of someone seemingly saving Bardock when he's caught by Freeza's technique...

And the best part is that all of that would be considerably low-stakes compared to the rest of the series. They would be powerful fighters, but nowhere near as godlike powerful enough to warrant "how the hell is this working on him?". I seriously appreciate the idea.Grimlock wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 5:13 pm "Starting"? No. I've been wanting a Bardock series for as long as I know myself.

Going to go ahead and vote no on a full series starring a vaguely sympathetic participant in interplanetary genocide.
Not with the level of nuance it could be given as a DB-spin-off anyway.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
Well, he would become even more heroic and I like him the best when he is a murderous bastard, a nobody, not a hero. But if it becomes reality, then I'd stick around (at least I can get a good laugh with creators stupid decisions). A series about Bardock killing innocent fodder would be nice, he doesn't need to be "good", the writing must be but last time we had something good (in the main continuity, the "c" word is sacred) was back in 2013.
Fenyo_n or Dragon Garow Lee would be the best for this job. They are so much better than Toyotarou. And I'm not sure if Toriyama on board is a good or bad idea... Probably bad idea but without him it's not going to be Holy Canon (aw shit, I've used the "c" word...).

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
Not a whole series, but a new canonical TV special supervised by Toriyama about Bardock’s life would be cool, I think. It could also explore Saiyan culture furthermore.
It would be cool, for example, if Bardock was himself a rocket baby who was sent to another planet as a kid and wiped it out.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
exactly, just like Goku was sent to Earth to destroy it, Bardock's arrival on this planet could represent what could have happened to the Earth if Goku never bumped his head as a baby.emperior wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 6:09 am Not a whole series, but a new canonical TV special supervised by Toriyama about Bardock’s life would be cool, I think.

A series? Unnecessary. But two or three episodes would be nice.
Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
I would like it if it included King Vegeta as well. But not a series, a few episodes or a TV Special would work.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
Unnecessary to the nth degree.
The 1990 TV special was the perfect supplementary material for the character. Bardock needs nothing more. Every new bit of material that has given Bardock significant screentime has been dogshit and has done more to not only harm the character but also unique aspects of the original story.
From Episode Of Bardock to Dragon Ball Minus to Dragon Ball Super... every time Bardock is reintroduced in a major fashion it just gets worse and worse and worse.

Not really, I want this franchise to move on forward. There's 11 new Universes to explore and we don't need to recycle the same story we more or less know. I guess a special if DBS returns about Bardock's origins could be interesting, but only this.

Episode of Bardock? Can I ask what is wrong with it that you consider "worse"? Just curious.Lord Beerus wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 2:20 pm From Episode Of Bardock to Dragon Ball Minus to Dragon Ball Super... every time Bardock is reintroduced in a major fashion it just gets worse and worse and worse.
From what we've seen, the 11 Universes are even more boring than our own 7th Universe.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
That's not true. We know nothing about the 4 exempt ones, except that U12 came up with a Time Machine of their own, which is already an interesting plot point. They must have a genius scientist on the level of Future Bulma.
The ones that participated in ToP were also underutilized, U2 has a Yardrat and what was he doing there? Lots of questions to answer.

And his reintroduction in Dragon Ball Super sealed the deal for me and made me actively wish Toei never bothered creating the 1990 TV special, to begin with.
Just for context, I talk about all of the material that have Badock as the central figure a few years ago, and my point(s) still stands.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
I thought the Bardock scenes in the Broly movie went on for about 3x longer than they should have, so no. I don't think there's really anything interesting about Bardock.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
I would say no but ever since Toriyama & Toyotaro suddenly decided that Bardock also played some role in the lives of Granolah, Monaito, and Gas, why not? Perhaps we may also have a series in which the Farmer with the shotgun saved a very young Bulma from being killed by a tiger, leading to Bulma remembering him and then crafting some nearly unstoppable mecha that is designed to look like the Farmer?

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
I'll have to pass on that. I infinitely prefer the Z Bardock, and this would most definitely not be that.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.
I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
I like how the comic is currently using Bardock in small doses. I think that we should save Bardock's storylines for places where they can intersect and affect Gokuu's character arc.

Re: How would you feel about a Bardock series?
Yeah, I imagine a scenario like this would be a treat for those who care about power level. Probably even I would try to pay attention and to make sense of that (even though I don't care about power level in the slightest), as everything would be as "realistic" as it can be.Thani wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:31 pmAnd the best part is that all of that would be considerably low-stakes compared to the rest of the series.

Glad you appreciate the idea, though! Hopefully they turn it into a reaility.
