Almost everything in life has differing opinions to it. That's just how it goes.

And no, I don't think the film's creators had any sort of agenda like that. That would be silly not to mention a little cynical. I was just analyzing what's been given to me and made an observation that people who like to discuss that subject might end up with a headache looking at this film.
I love you love Mashirito.

It really is. What I wanna see is the SSG form being used while Goku is SSJ(1), in action!

I don't feel like going back through previous posts, so I'm not sure if this has been posted, but a scene from the movie has leaked online....

It was already posted, and it isn't really a leak since it was on national television. But thanks :)

Reading a few lines in the previous page would have been enough to notice that it was already posted. The previous page.

But I didn't even hold him accountable anyway so I don't know why you posted that remark :?

Hmmm... while I know Dragon Ball isn't necessarily about the fighting and I LOVE that there's a lot of character development and gags, seriously it's awesome, what I sort of hoped for was that they took the amount of fighting the previous 13 movies had (on average) in minutes and then added plot on top of that. So I'm sort of torn in that the fighting only lasts 15 mins in total. It would've been awesome if the movie was 10 minutes longer with 10 minutes of awesome fighting. Hell, this movie doesn't even look THAT expensive, it looks good, but it doesn't look Miyazaki expensive good. So, honestly, without saying that there should be less character development and gags, I think 10 minutes of extra fighting would've been pretty good.

The whole story thing kind of bugs me as well a bit. I would've loved if they had an A-plot and a B-plot. The A-plot focusing on our Saiyan characters and doing what they do best, steal the limelight, and the B-plot focusing on the more minor characters accomplishing things worthwhile (maybe not as fighting, but you know... if there were minions to beat, while the Saiyans were doing something else, that'd be totally awesome!) like stealing Dragon Balls from the bad guys or whatever. Even on a 85 minute story, that's MORE than possible to do. I get the feeling not a lot of things actually HAPPEN in this movie.

Now, I haven't seen the movie, and from what I've seen I'm VERY impressed and the previous two things are not NEARLY enough to quench my thirst for this movie! So I'm really excited still :D But what I just said, I hope the sequel (also I hope there is one) uses stuff like that. Just give those other guys a chance to shine in their fighting. Or let them at least stand a bit of a chance against a superior foe :p Especially all of them together :p Oh, well, it's going to be super amazing awesome and probably the best Dragon Ball movie ever. But it might not be the perfect Dragon Ball movie to me :p

No. He claims that Mai is his girl friend just to boast to Goten. Everyone takes it seriously and Mai gets shy.
Well, damn. Now I have to see this movie, because that's the most adorable thing ever.

Still think SSJG is a lazy recolor, though.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

As it looks SSJG is horribly lame and doesn't even deserve the title god.

So, Super Saiyan God Goku is just Goku with red hair?

It's noticible that Super Saiyan God has the Super Saiyan bangs while still having the base form's hair so no.

So many people joining the Super Saiyan God hate train....

I'm okay with SSJ God looking "plain" since it's just a one-time thing. It's basically just the 5 other Saiyans giving their Saiyan power to Goku, it's not literally a transformation.

Would you really like SSJ God to have an amazing design that we will only see ONCE in ONE movie?

Gogeta had a similar design to Gotenks, he wasn't a completely original design.

To be fair, isn't Ultimate Gohan mostly just Gohan with different eyes and a slight hair adjustment?
