Freeza family

Post by CoolerEX » Sun Dec 17, 2006 10:39 pm

Hey guys just wondering on your thoughts about Freeza's family. Each one of them is awesome to me, so I was hoping to find out what everyone else thinks about them.

Their species was certainly an interesting one; their own signature look, transformations, move set etc. I wish we could've seen more back story on Freeza's family and empire, there's so much that they just left vague.

I liked the part where Freeza got defeated by one sword slash.

Yes, I would have loved seeing a back story to all three of them. Especially seeing a possible mother figure, although I think we've all come to terms that Freeza's species spawns asexually. Then again, you never know.

I'd like to see what happened to their empire even though their whole family died.

Read carefully, buddy. I didn't say anothing about Trunks containing an underscore. As for CoolerEX's comment

Here is an old thread on this subject, incase you are interested (If it's too old, please don't necropost). The Cold Empire.

I don't really have an opinion on Cooler and King Cold other than they look cool as hell, but I think Freeza is an amazing character. He's always been one of my favorites.

I think its a shame he's made to look like a clown later in the series and in the video games. I mean, he was the badass of the universe then he was turned into Darth Vader then killed by some little- (I'll save this rant for later).

It would have been nice for the series to end with Frieza's defeat and Nameks explosion, etc, but I wouldn't be without all the other characters/forms of people, even if it did make Frieza look like a complete joker.

Squea! My thread got referenced! That makes this day good. :D.

You have to wonder what happened to Freeza in the filler version of Hell where everyone that looks cool keeps their body... how many Saiyans from planet Vegeta were still hanging around down there?

Though Freeza in movie12, being that Bojak seemed to follow him, is clearly leaderly and kickawesome, despite being taken out by one attack...

Freeza in GT is a disgrace to the character, from what I've seen... which isn't much...

For some reason, I was really hoping for a lot more on King Cold... the preview for "Freeza's Counter Attack" in the funimation dub had the narrator say his name as though we knew who he was and he'd be completely bad@$$... and I guess he was crafty, but still didn't get enough character development (and... well... *points to dub filler hell*). Hey... he got to hold Trunks' sword!

I always thought it would be awsome if they had some filler in the anime with Freeza and King Cold fighting Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and the others before Trunks and Gokou show up.

Heck, even the manga could have given the Freeza Trunks fight some more to it and I would have been very happy.... though by that point in the series I'm sure many were getting tired of seeing Freeza fights with fillers. Still, this would have been a chance to give King Cold a little spotlight if we could have seen him do some actual fighting.

Somehow it seems like King Cold was just there as backup, or to watch (or maybe he had his own reasons...)... but I still agree, that would have been coolish... though one might argue that it would damage the awesome of Trunks Action... Egh.

I'm totally doing a Cold family fan-fic, I really wish Toriyama had used more of them. Especially of them interacting.

Honestly, I think that Freezer's character is pretty boring and he's actually pretty lame. His father is even dumber than someone could actually be(that's my opinion), especially the dialogues between Freezer and his father are boring.

Alright, I know that some people might hate me now :roll: , but hey, in the end he's maybe not that bad.... :wink:

Oh yes and btw, I write Freezer because that's his name in the German version...

The only thing I like about Freeza is his voice. He's pretty dull and boring to me. Coola, in comparisson to other movie villains, is one of the best. His personality doesn't differ too much from Freeza's but I like his fifth form. King Cold is just there to demonstrate how powerful Trunks is.
