With so many great villains they gave the third position to the moronic Broli. :(
LOL just great.. The muscle-tard that repeats the same word like he's a pokemon, gets #3 :roll:

To answer the OP. This is the reason Broly gets hate. Because some fans like to hype him up and say, among other things, that he's a better villain than fucking Super Buu, King Piccolo, and Vegeta (though in the case of that video they were probably just trying to appeal to those fans...).

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.

He has no likable traits
He has a cool design and he's an unstoppable force, to some, those are likeable.

Man you guys are crazy Broly is awesome, movie 11 was really lame.

Kakarotooooo the rage, the torment. No one says it like it him. Broly is a monster & movie 8 is one of the best. Vegeta acts like the arrogant noble like hes suppose too, thats what I couldn't stand about the new movie.

When Broly first sees Goku, Goku with out even thinking looks him dead in the eye scared of nothing.. I love it

Broly deserved a saga.. Watch

How does anyone not like Broly but like Videl and Pan it blows my mind

*And as far as the power level thing goes, power levels got so stupidly out of hand after a while, they didn't even matter.

Broli is constantly angry at Son probably for not letting him sleep as a child. :P

My favourite Broli film was the eleventh, simply because he hardly spoke so for once he was somewhat likeable for being quiet. Broli's death in this film kinda made me sad but overall it was his own fault.

1) The Super Saiyan Broli
2) Broli Second Coming
3) Bio-Broli

I do agree they could of done something better than keeping him awake as babies. The best way to look at it, is its some deep psycological trama Goku put him through. Have you ever been around an infant or baby that does that blood curling cry & wont stop for hours.. It will make you want to lose it..

But still, kinda weak..

And its not that he screams KAKARROTOH!!!! its the way that he screams it that I love. You can feel the hate.

Cant you just hear it, lol it is forever engrained in my head Broly saying Kakarrotoh, I tried to watch the dub of Broly couldn't even do it.

That's about 160 episodes, about 8 episodes worth of a filler arc.

Honestly, if I did Broly, I would have him be the Anti-Goku, and he's also highly intelligent a la Super Buu. Not only is he the LSSJ, but he believes that he was the Saiyan Messiah meant to avenge his people and Goku (As well as Trunks) denied him that destiny. So he plots his revenge against "the usurper!". Creating his own Empire from the Remnants of Freeza's, he becomes such a threat that Kaioshin himself jumps in and tells Goku that the LSSJ is going to rampage across the stars. So, he and his friends head out to find and stop Broly. However, this has been a ruse, as Broly decides to lure them into a trap while he leads an invasion against Earth. When Goku and Vegeta return exhausted while fighting Broly's minions, they find that he has played them fools and is using the whole planet as a battlefield.

That sounds awful. It makes no sense and doesn't sound Db.

Sorry, the post was cobbled together. My interpretation of Broly is that because of his power, he felt he was destined to avenge the Saiyans. However, Goku denied him that with Namek, so Broly takes it out on him in a pretty cruel way. He scares the crap out of Kaio, who then gets Goku et al to head to where Broly is believed to be. However, Broly uses this as a ruse to take Earth while the heroes are away. When they return, they find that Broly is going to stop at nothing to have his revenge.
