Precaution I guess. This how I see Broly working in general:
LSSJ Broly: 7,000,000,000
-Omega Blaster: 8,000,000,000
-Omega Blaster(W/ More Energy): 9,000,000,000
SSJ2 Gohan(Adult): 6,255,000,000
SSJ2 Gohan(Kid): 7,500,000,000
-Father-Son Kamehameha: 8,800,000,000
SSJ2 Goku: 8,000,000,000
-Super Kamehameha: 9,000,000,000
Broly is a threat to the higher SSJ2 tiers but can only reach that power in a prolonged struggle IMO. In a straight up fight, Gohan will take this.

We see do see Videl flying & having short hair. And there is also no reason to assume that M10 Gohan is different from Boo arc Gohan.
Gohan states he had powered-up considerably when beginning to fight Broly, before even transforming. Whereas the original story depicts Gohan as weakened.

Still, Gohan was never shown having control of his rage, unless something very bad was to happen.
Broly diverts his Ki attack on Videl and the kids, ultimately leading to them getting injured. That's what caused Gohan to become angry.

Gohan says he has powered-up since the last time they met. Last time they met was in M8, and M8 Gohan was clearly weaker than Cell Games Gohan, not to mention that he didn't have Super Saiyan 2 back then.

But whenever Gohan gets angry & powerful, his personality changes to more aggressive, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I thought so too. I wondered why it wasn't in the all purpose thread.

Yet Gohan says it after tussling with Broly in base form before even considering to transform. It's hard to believe that Gohan in his normal state that purportedly hadn't trained for 7 years would be stronger than he was in their last encounter, where he was in training religiously. In the original story, the Daizenshuu notes his power not even changing after 7 years. So the movie is not shown to be applicable with it in that regard.

Against Cell he had a cold demeanor after transforming, but his physical attacks were actually effective in inflicting damage unlike in the movie.

The Daizenshuu also say that he wasn't as powerful as he was when he defeated Cell because he lacked anger AND didn't train. The fact that base Gohan was fighting is bull shit in and of itself.

I agree, they even portray base forms being on par with Majin Buu level opponents in GT. But that's Toei for you. Which is why it makes more sense to view their own products separate from the original story, it'll only cause confusion otherwise.

Gohan fighting SSJ Broly in base is just the typical ''Base warm up'' phase, that the Saiyans go through.See M12 for example.
Goku states Janemba has the greatest ki, yet starts in base.

Gohan would get crushed faster then he did in movie 10

7 years training is going to make up for any or whatever gap put in front and Broly crushed him so bad to the point where lava was his only chance, Meaning a Ssj2 kamehameha would of done jack. The same SSJ2 kamehameha which wiped cell of the planet

Not to mention, 2 SSj2 and SSj kamehameha done nothing to broly so how a Normal or even a high tier SSJ2 beating broly is beyond me

Gohan is weaker than in Cell Games in both M10 and Buu saga though and he fared a lot better, than anybody in M8 did, Cardle.
Goku probably wasn't SSJ2 in M10, since he takes out Broly with Pikkon as just SSJ2 in M11 and that Kamehameha sent him off into the sun.

Is there any indication in the movie that he didn't train though? The fact that he fights Broly and states this line while in base form and not even transform right after saying it gives the impression that by "powered-up" he wasn't simply referring to SSJ2. Even his feats of tanking SSJ Broly's hits, and defending against his Ki attack all make him out to be way stronger than he should be.

Daizenshuu 6 places the movie in the normal timeline.The heroes always start in base.Goku states Janemba has the greatest ki, yet proceeds to fight him in base and even counters Janemba's fist with a ki blast, apparently harming him somewhat.

And what proof is there of the hell thing. Not even movie 11 relates to movie 12 and i am not having a 50 page debate on you thinking your opinion is right and everything else is wrong.

Really 7 years training and still cant make up for a gap -.-

Not to mention his base being stronger then the SSJ kids

I think the strong implication here is that he's weaker, regardless of what he was in the Cell Saga.

Goku says only Buu pushed him to SSJ3, meaning Pikkon and SSJ2 Goku were enough to beat Broly.Why wouldn't it relate, when Paragus appears in M12?
And I am not saying my opinion is right over everybody else's.That is extremely arrogant and defeats any purpose of debating.
Gohan doesn't say he trained, just that he powered up considerably since the last time he fought Broly a.k.a. Movie 8.In Movie 8, Gohan is portrayed as a weakling, even weaker than Piccolo.
