The new movie was made to fit the manga, unlike the others. And Tarble never specified which form of Freeza they were as strong as. Seeing as his first form was the only one known to the galaxy at large, it's entirely possible he was stating that they were as strong as Freeza's first form.

So?

If that were true, there wouldn't have been a fight.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

It says that Trunks/the kids displayed strength on par with #18 during their fight, but a) that doesn't necessarily mean #18 was going all out with them at the time, and b) I don't even know what that guide's talking about, because they couldn't lay a finger on #18 during that fight. Certainly didn't look like they displayed anything on par with her to me.

Also it's kind of vague about whether they mean base or Super Saiyan Trunks.

So it's not really comparable to the other movies, which are more of "what-if" stories.

If I recall correctly, there wasn't much of a fight, at least not until they fused.

Eh, it's kinda hard for me to believe Trunks and Goten were only at 1st form Frieza's level in base =/. That's 1/6th the weakest known SSJ base level and they got very strong training in the RoSaT.

It is actually, because they specifically stated this was not a movie like the rest. Not a "side story" or "spin off", but something you can actually put into the real timeline.

I don't remember the 2008 special all that well, but weren't Trunks and Goten dominating that fight in base before Ava and Kado fused? And it's completely in character for them to hold themselves back to play around with an opponent.

From what I remember, the kids were having some difficulty at first just because their fighting skills were rusty from 2 years of disuse. But as soon as they got back into form, the tables were turned and Avo and Cado got their asses kicked.

At 6 times stronger they should be either playing with their dead carcasses 3 seconds in or suppressing themselves like crazy the whole fight. But they were, as Kaboom said, originally even having difficulty. Skill alone at 6x stronger shouldn't make a difference.

Point taken. Still, there's no reason to assume that they are as strong as 100% Freeza.

Who would win in a fight: Legendary Super Saiyan Broly or Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta? I think it would be pretty cool to see either way.

Broly gets demolished by Pan while Gogeta laughs.

Alternatively, Gogeta laughs for thirty minutes straight, defuses, and Broly gets demolished by base kid Goku even worse than Cell.

Broly is nothing to any of GT. SSJ4 Gogeta is just the most severe amount of overkill.

A better question would be who could Broly actually beat in GT? Cell was already stronger than him and implied to get a lot stronger in Hell, along with Freeza. So strong that they take on Goku despite knowing how strong Rildo is. That puts them both way beyond Ultimate Gohan tier. Piccolo would also demolish Broly, since he shrugged off Ultimate Gohan's Kamehameha (x50) and presumably had to fight Rildo and Cell to gain control of Hell. Then there's old man Krillin, who actually landed a hit on base Goku, suggesting he's in a similar plane of power, which is way stronger than Kid Buu, who is way stronger than Broly.

Broly get's his shit rocked by SSJ2 Kid Gohan and Super Perfect Cell, SSJ4 Gogeta would atomize him with a look.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Broly's not that far away in power, but Vegeta would still dominate, because Broly's just a dumb brute who has no tactics besides "tank it and smash shit", which would go badly against someone stronger than him. Also, in Movie 11, it was said that SS2 Goku and Pikkon beat him.
