Re: Why the Broly hate?
Made perfect sense to me. Movie 8 was filled with gags. So Broly's background being a gag is not surprising to me(not saying it's fact).rereboy wrote:And the point is not being a gag. That makes zero sense.
Well most twins don't act exactly alike, fight alike, talk alike(Might have same pitch), or even do ANYTHING alike. Bio Broly is a clone not a twin. A twin is not a clone.rereboy wrote:The same reason a identical twin is not considered the same person as his twin.
Re: Why the Broly hate?
Of course, all this leads to is Bio-Broli and Broli fusing together in hell during GT. That might have been a bit better than that Super #17 bit.

You are seriously suggesting that they thought up Broly's background as a gag...? I couldn't disagree more.TheGmGoken wrote:Made perfect sense to me. Movie 8 was filled with gags.

And actually, a twin shares basically the same genetic material with his twin. A clone isn't much different than a identical twin. However, bio-broly also seemed to have at least some memories of Broly, which explains how he acted, but, as I said, that doesn't make him the same person.

Re: Why the Broly hate?
I do agree that the clone isn't the same person but he would likely act remarkably similar. Even twins that get separated at birth often are very similar (same job, tastes in women/men, etc)
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Re: Why the Broly hate?
As much as I despise Broli for his pointless violent behaviour I'd have liked to have seen him turning into a Super Oozaru.
Toei Animation, please do not ever bring back Broli ever again back to life on anime-form. *fingers crossed*

Re: Why the Broly hate?
Bio-Broli is a different person, but he is an exact copy of the original with an altered body. Since he knew about "KAKAROTTO!", and had the same fighting style & techniques of the original, it means that he has all of his memories, and since the Bio-Men are supposed to be stronger than normal humans, Bio-Broli should be at least as strong as the original.rereboy wrote:I pretty much already explained why he's a different person... Technicaly he was made of Broly's DNA and seems to have at least some of his memories, but he is another person. And we don't even know exactly how he compares to the real Broly in terms of power, abilities, full range of memories, etc.

"Broly kicks ass and looks cool doing it."
Now I know that may seem like a generic silly youtube comment and yes its just an opinion but its a pretty popular one and not just among average american toonami era youtube fans either. I mean, all the "official" "Broly Wank" material comes from Japan, the guy spawned three movies way before the big western boom of Dragon Ball fandom and his popularity obviously only increased since then. I doubt the game developers shoehorn Broly into everything solely to please the western audience.

Re: Why the Broly hate?
No offense, but I'm not a fan of Broly because I felt he didn't have that much personalty as the main villains like Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. I also felt his backstory was a little weak and his reason for hating Goku was petty in my opinion. I also think he's overrated.

Re: Why the Broly hate?
Broly is a ridiculous character, but I kinda love him for it. I mean, he keeps a lifetime grudge for a baby who was crying next to him when they were both newborns, if anything, he should've hated Vegeta for what his father did to Paragas and him, at least it would've made more sense. But maybe Broly was supposed to be completely bonkers and mentally unstable, which is what I think makes him so scary and it kind of works as a different kind of villain.
I think Tullece did the "bad saiyan" thing much better than Broly, he seemed like a more well fleshed out character and was a lot more eloquent
but at least I appreciate that Broly ended up being the legendary super saiyan instead of Goku.

It means that he had at least some of the memories and some of the abilities. The extent of those is completely unknown.DBZGTKOSDH wrote: Bio-Broli is a different person, but he is an exact copy of the original with an altered body.

Also, the bio-process working in a saiyan like Broly with exactly the same results is just an assumption contradicted by the fact of how easily Bio-Broly was affected by that goo and then killed by sea water. I don't imagine a stronger version of Broly being affected by that, especially when we even see the real Broly be unharmed by lava.

True, but there is no reason to assume that his memories were limited.rereboy wrote:It means that he had at least some of the memories and some of the abilities. The extent of those is completely unknown.
That had nothing to do with his power, it had to do with his body structure. Like Boo's body is less durable than a normal body.rereboy wrote:Also, the bio-process working in a saiyan like Broly with exactly the same results is just an assumption contradicted by the fact of how easily Bio-Broly was affected by that goo and then killed by sea water.

Re: Why the Broly hate?
Yes I'm dead ass serious. The whole movie was filled of gags. I didn't say twins didn't have the same genetics, I said they don't act EXACTLY alike. In fact most of them might be similar at TIMES but mostly act very different. While Bio-Broly was pretty much Broly with Science in him.rereboy wrote:

Anyway, I will admit that Movie 8 Broly did have one good line.
Goku: "How about giving us a handicap?"
Broly: "Is that another word for coffin?"

Re: Why the Broly hate?
Broly is a ridiculous character who makes little sense, but I have to say this, DBZ is a ridiculous show that often makes little sense, I love it for that, and just don't have very high expectations.
Re: Why the Broly hate?
How do you know that? From his "battle" with the kids? He could have been much weaker than the Broly from movie 8 and nothing would change in the movie.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But has nothing to do with his power.rereboy wrote:That's a pretty big difference from the real Broly.

If it didn't make the Bio-Men weaker than normal men, then I don't see why he would be weaker than normal Broli.rereboy wrote:How do you know that? From his "battle" with the kids?
