I'm ready for the first female Super Saiyan to be a joke about how women are irrational and crazy because they have hormones.

Not.

I mean, they might not go that direction, but that seems to make the most sense. The major difference in personality when she transforms. The fact that it's not regular Super Saiyan. And transforming makes her look 'ugly'. (Or at least, not feminine).

Cabba got it so lucky.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

That would still be deeper characterization than Broli ever received.

I don't think that's the direction. The character acts innocent/frail before transforming in the trailer and two scenarios popped into my head. She passes herself as weak to surprise opponents, meaning she's a strategic fighter. The other possibility is that she's a ruthless Saiyan and toys with her opponents, tricking them into lowering their guard before she shows her true nature.

I hope your scenario doesn't come into fruition. I want her to have a personality, not some Broly/Hulk hybrid mindless beast.

There's so many people I saw on social media excited about her because she doesn't look feminine when she transforms. I guess reactions will be spilt down the middle? I dunno.

I'm still more interested in Cabba's parents, and King Salada (who could also potentially be Cabba's biological dad).

Brolli's still boring to me no matter what sex they make the character. Maybe there'll be actual personality this time. Who knows.

I think Frost will have a new form and Vegeta will have Ssj3.

If we're getting a female Broly then sooner or later we'll get every possible fan service you can think of and those 2 were a lot more likely to happen then a female Broly.
You know, if Frost does get golden form... Then Resurrection F will finally have a single point as an arc!

If you're interpretation of this is some sexist anti-woman trope, because of hormones and periods, you're looking to far into it. (or searching for sexism)

On the other hand I think you would really enjoy Steven Universe, it was born on tumblr and is 3rd wave feminist in every regard.

Legendary Super Saiyan vs Super Saiyan Blue

Post by Bruma rabu » Sun Jan 22, 2017 7:15 pm

With female Broly being a thing now, do you guys think her legendary super saiyan will rival Blue (something akin to Rose)? Or will it just be pure fan service that goes nowhere. Also first canon female super saiyan neat.
Bulma is awesome... but chi-chi is best waifu :wink:

Probably, but it depends if either Goku or Vegeta face fem-Broly.

Maybe Gohan or Piccolo will fight her instead, so we won't know how truly powerful she is.

A scrub like Cabba was above SS3 Vegetto in Base so we know she's stronger than that, at least.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Wouldn't mind seeing either of these but I don't see Vegeta getting SSJ3, even though it would be cool to see it.

From the trailer we see him using Ssj1 (or 2) so he could use 3 if he can't beat someone and is saving Blue for the higher fights.

We have a female Broly so a Ssj3 Vegeta isn't that unlikely to happen.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

So, let's see if I can throw in my question... Why is LGS's hair green/yellowish transformed and purple on base form? Is it because they are trying to distinguish it from the regular Super Saiyan?
Big Green: Do whateveryoulike, Ghos
Broly: haha He calls me a goohst, but IMMMD DA DEVVVVAAALLL! RAHAHAHAHA!

I'm not even saying it's unlikely. I also would like to see it, as there really isn't much of a reason for why he hasn't shown it at some point. I just personally think he won't have SSJ3.

Imagine how i am feeling, i literally said in other thread that things like this would make me hate super. But god damn they had to make "Brocoli" appear in the arc where we finally meet the other 12 gods of destruction (something that i've been waiting since BoG), in the arc where 17 is going to fight, Gohan is going to fight, and a lot of this shit is going to happen. In the arc where every single U6 character is going to fight including freaking Frost (which means that his character is not lost yet) and on top of that they had to make him female just to make me interested in her. And that without talking about the amazing ost in the prev.

God damn it Trolliyama/Trolltei/Trolltaro evil Goku was one thing but this is too much trolling and i can't even be sure if i should hate it :crazy:
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

You're probably right to a certain degree but I think it's more likely now than it was before.

If there was a 30% chance of seeing it before then I think it's up to 40-45% now.

We'd probably get more if he wasn't involved and it would most likely be bad as well.

I'd rather have a Broly clone that has a good personality over the same old boring Broly we know from the movies which is excatly what we'd get if he wasn't involved.
