Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[RandomGuy96]

Goku's beatdown was far more humiliating than anything Toei put him through. He's the only main villain who doesn't even get to put up a decently close fight in his final battle (unless you count Pilaf and Red). The others very nearly won, from Daimao to Buu. Freeza just gets curb stomped, and then brought back only to be curb stomped again.

Reassuring for dub fans:

Awesome!

[Zenkashuu]

After the borefest that Battle of Gods was, I keep my expectations low.

[ImmaDeker]

I like that this Freeza concern was brought up as if it was a concern at all and not just completely frivolous worry-warting because fandoms always immediately assume the worst as a baseline response to literally anything.

Bore fest ? Sure it could have used more action but what we got was anything but boring.

[Jackal puFF]

What the heck is happening??

I can't believe Freeza is going to be the big bad of this movie... How is he even a threat at this point you know? Is there some kind of super (freeza's race) god now? He is seen glowing in the poster.. Maybe new forms too?
Oh maybe it's a different stronger freeza from another dimension..

I really wanted Whis as the villain awww. OH well.

I really like that Krillin has his old shaved head again! That definitely means he's fighting in this one!

[Bullza]

Does anyone else miss the ridiculously long over the top names the old movies had?

No they were ridiculously bad.

[JulieYBM]

The plot will require it, therefore he shall be strong enough to be a threat.

Even though it seems that we've settled for "Revival/Resurrection of F" didn't someone say that it was a bit more along the lines of "F of Fukkatsu" or "F for Fukkatsu", with Fukkatsu meaning revival?
When I saw it, it reminded me of "V for Vendetta".

Does anyone else miss the ridiculously long over the top names the old movies had? Now we get "Kami to Kami" and "Resurrection of F." I want "Revival of the Galactic Emperor: The Ultimate Super Battle to Determine Fate," or something like that.

Time to defeat the Revived Galactic Emperor "F"! If Son Goku cannot do it, who will?

I won't get home to really look at that poster till mid-afternoon.
I am super-curious about that の on Gokû's new shirt. At least I think it's a "no". My kanji book is home. Could that symbol mean anything else?

To me, it doesn't look like a kanji, but a symbol which may or may not mean anything.

Perhaps Goku trains under Beerus and Whis and that's their symbol? *Shrug*

Who knows?!

[Bullza]

I just noticed the movie is going to be in 3D also. That should help it see a bit of a boost at the box office due to the extra price of the 3D tickets. Battle of Gods wasn't in 3D right?

Should we start getting a steady release of information from now on then?

[TheBlackPaladin]

Reassuring for dub fans:



I imagine that's pretty much confirmed then unless FUNi turn around and straight up force Sabat to cast someone else.

If Ayers is coming back, then I am excited as hell to hear this news. Ryusei Nakao is one of my favorite voice actors of the Japanese cast, and Chris Ayers is one of my favorite members of the English cast. In both cases, their performances were freakin' beautiful to listen to. To hear that they'll both be getting another shot at playing my favorite villain makes me very, very happy! Consider me excited!

Well it was for me, from the bad "funny" parts to awful 3D effects.

On topic, can Dragonballs revive someone who died long time ago? Didn't Akira Toriyama say something about it and Bardock? I am not sure where I read it.

[radrappy]

The hate this premise is getting really confuses me. I'm ecstatic that they're bringing a primary villain from the manga back into the fray. It beats a new generic musclebound villain like Broly or Bojack any damn day of the week.

[Marco Polo]

How do you even revive a villain in the manga continuity? I mean it's not like the anime where the villains are just chilling with their bodies in Hell.

Yes, the point was Goku intentionally humiliated Freeza so that he'd never like do bad again, Toriyama himself did not have some weird vendetta that you seem to imply. In the end though, it bit Goku in the ass because he nearly died along with him. When Freeza came back, I suppose that was less dignifying, but there he more or less is used as a measuring stick and an interesting reveal for Trunks. To this day Freeza's remark about Trunks' eyes is one of my favourite moments in the series.
Toei Freeza's appearances were just straight up goofy.

To address concerns about whether or not Freeza should have been reincarnated, maybe they just haven't got around to him yet? I always thought Buu was reincarnated straight away as a special case. Can someone tell me if I made that up or something? I don't think any rules a have been broken here.

"Almighty dragon! It is my avowed wish for you to bring X back to this realm of existance!"

Well, it does appear as though Beerus and Whis are coming back. My guess is, gods can pull some strings.

No, I'm pretty sure Toriyama had at least some interest in making Freeza look shitty. Let's be real here. If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have done all that, from having Goku curb stomp him, to having Trunks mock and one-shot him, to having Kaioshin reveal that he was always full of shit when he bragged about being the strongest in the universe, because even a little bitch like him could one-shot a pathetic weakling like Freezy Pop. Plus, wasn't the 2008 special his idea?

My theory is that it's Freeza from another dimension/timeline/universe.

Just putting that out there!
