I'll take Super Hero any day of the week over Broly. Broly is a boring movie and the animation while good can't make up for the really week story. The action isn't good enough, either. It's just so lame that Broly gets so insanely strong because he has a temper tantrum.

Is that really any different from Gohan? Hell, Gohan gets a new transformation that has zero explanation behind it in Super Hero just because he gets mad.

Bruh. Super: Broly's an actually good movie. I think it leaves something to be desired from the extra backstory stuff & whatnot that they had Toriyama cut from the script, but they took Broly, a character that was very divisive in his original incarnation. The main crux of the story is that you're supposed to find Broly a tragic character because he & his father were castaways exiled from Planet Vegeta & spent the last ~40 years on a planet they couldn't escape. Broly by his very nature is a gentle giant, but has a very volcanic temper where if you piss him off enough, he accesses a well of hidden power inside of him. He got used as a weapon by Freeza when that's not his choice because of that to fight Goku & Vegeta while his father also wants to get revenge on Vegeta for his father, so he teams up with Freeza to get it. The story is a tragedy that also ends on a happy note because they find a way to solve the problem. The only reason I can see someone not liking it is if you don't feel anything for Broly because he's the main character of the movie.
Comparing to the original Broly movie, he didn't have much of a character to him because he's nothing but a plot device & not shown as anything more than a sociopath that Paragus had to make a headband to control his power as Broly goes on tantrums because Goku's crying made HIM cry as a baby & he somehow not only remembers THAT, but also the grown up Saiyans making fun of him for it outside the nursery, which is just fucking stupid. His father Paragus also just wanted to kill Vegeta with a comet that's gonna hit a planet. The story is nothing but an action movie that tries to sew (bad) pathos to motivate its main antagonist that's extremely laughable & the other antagonist is just on a revenge plot that's, honestly, kind of dumb with how they executed it.

As for it being lame that Broly gets so strong because he gets mad, is it, though? That's kind of the entire point of a Saiyan's power. With Goku going Super Saiyan, Gohan's entire well of power (which, btw, was a plot point in his fight with Cell if you don't remember), Trunks in the History of Trunks special, & Cabba in the Universe 6 Tournament going Super Saiyan, enough examples of Saiyans getting a tremendous amount of power from their anger in the original manga, Z, & Super. I think either you're forgetting these things, or you just don't like that. Either way, this has been established in the older materials.
