Why do lots of people like Cell and Broly?
Hi. I'm new to this site and I want to know why everybody likes Cell and Broly some much. In my opinion they're two of DBZ's most overrated villains.
Broli is a muscly insane powerhouse that likes to kill things. For some reason those tend to be popular... *shrug*.
Cell? This one's new to me. XD
With Cell, there's a degree of personality, a vaguely Shang Tsung-esque power coupled with an opponent who regenerates (and it was kinda new for a villain at this point, despite Piccolo having it before). And cell kinda develops and falls... and ... Awe, people probably just like him because he's a jerk. .
Though, I didn't notice any overwhelming Cell popularity before. But ... I don't look for these things...

First off, welcome to the forums.
Actually, Freeza's my favorite villain (I'd say Vegeta, but he's more in that grey area between good and evil) and I only really enjoyed Brolli in Movie 8.
I think things would've worked out better for Brolli if they didn't have him magically come back for two more movies and thought up different villains instead.
As for Cell....eh. Not my favorite, but I do like his dub voice (Dameon Clarke).

9 year olds, come on is that fair? I am way past 9 years of age and I really like the character. Can you explain to me why you have to insult individual’s intelligence because they prefer a character that the mob does not like?SSJ2bardock wrote:...Broly appeals to 9 years olds...
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.
Cell is totally my favorite. Most people love to hate him though. I was rooting for Cell.
He's the smartest. The entire saga was like DBZ for the good guys, but reversed. Cell was the one who was always behind, then he'd find some way to weasel his way on top only to get smacked back down and have to find another way to win.

Okay, I'm going to explain myself more clearly. I think they are both overrated, because every time I go on YouTube, I read crazy comments like, "omg broly is the strongest dbz villain ever, like he can beat ssj3 goku or mystic gohan." I think Cell is just a very unoriginal villain. I mean, he can't even use his own fighting techniques. His character is plain boring and he is too cocky. That's why DBZ should have ended with Freeza, because he was the last original villain.

You know what, I was just joking about cell being overrated. I think he is the third best dbz villain ever, second being kid buu, and frieza being first. Broly was alright in movie 8, but in movie 10, especially movie 11, he became so lame.mAcChaos wrote:Cell uses other people's moves, but he uses it better than they do. He's still truly skilled. I'd say he's about the best fighter in the series, right behind Goku.
Cell is voiced by Norio Wakamoto. That alone makes him awesome. Seriously, that guy has an awesome voice.
Cell is definitely my brother's favorite Dragon Ball character, but I don't see an abnormal amount of Cell fans out there.
And anyway, Brolly probably could fight SSJ3 Goku. To be honest I don't like him that much, but you can't deny that he's one strong character.

My favorite characer is Vegeta, but since he is in the good and bad side, I guess my favorite evil characer is Cell and Bebi from GT, but that's another story. As for me, the reason I like cell is because he fits perfect for a villain character. Freeza has some women looks and some women voices (English Dub). As for Majin Buu he is just not smart until he absorbs everyone, plus I don't like the color pink. Cell has a perfect villain look (Perfect form obviously), the color suits him very good, and plus he is very smart.

Using logic I would agree with you. But Broly just strikes me as a very illogical character. He just seems to be as strong as whatever situation needs him to be.Rocketman wrote:Yes I can. Broly would be obliterated by SSJ2 Goku, much less SSJ3.
That's probably why I don't like him actually. He's a pretty shallow villain. He's just a Saiyajin version of the Hulk. =/
