Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #1 Thread: "Broly"

[sintzu]

So will Goku and the others travel in time to be amongst all these Saiyan origins?

That could happen. Someone like Shenron could tell them about it. They could come to the present somehow.

There's a lot of ways to do it but one thing's for sure, Goku and Friends will be heavily involved in this as it's being made as the franchise's biggest movie so not having them will be a massive box office mistake.

So I need to be clarified but Yamoshi is not only the first Super Saiyan God but also the Legendary Super Saiyan? Man, this guy sure is special

If the main characters aren't in the movie it will flop. No two ways about it.

No, these are your impressions only and nothing else, I can see this movie going into a path this series never gone before and still be sucess, but I doubt they have the guts to do it without Goku and cia.

[MR.Mark]

Yeah, I said time travel out of jest, though they very well could have Future Trunks be involved, lol.

I hope it's not just some new villain giving another Raditz style info dump.

I could live with the King of planet Salada giving his two cents leading to flashbacks though. I do hope Kale and Califla is back for this, so I can feast on the tears of the whiners.

I never said Goku and co won't be in this, just possibly not be the main focus of the story.

Crackpot Theory: The movie is about someone reviving planet Vegeta and all it's inhabitants, ultimate Super Saiyan Bargain Sale!

They could involve cabba,kale and caulifla aswell

Yamoshi didn't turn SSGod so he never was the first SSG. It surprises me how many people get that wrong. He was the first SS and his spirit is the reason the SSG ritual is possible.

Dude, can you imagen Goku and Vegeta plowing through an army of evil revived Saiyans?

They won't have the guts to do it because they know a multi million budgeted Dragon Ball movie that doesn't have Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo etc in it will flop.

They wouldn't be stupid enough to make a One Piece movie without the Straw Hat Pirates. Hopefully they won't be stupid enough to make a Dragon Ball movie without the Z Fighters.

[MR.Mark]

With Freeza currently back I'm sure he will be somewhat tied into this seeing how close he is connected to the Saiyans.

This has potential to be better than BOG.

Those are business facts. The #1 way to sell something is brand recognition so if they won't give someone as popular as Vegeta his own movie in fears of it not making $$$ then there's no way a new nobody will get one.

How about the six righteous hearted Saiyans, Shenron explained in BoG (movie) who combined their power to become the Super Saiyan God?

Please, Vegeta is not even the main character, they could do a movie without him just fine, I'm mainly talking about Goku, but I would praise Toriyama/Toei if they end doing it without the main cast.

Cabba, Kale, and Califlia can fight with them too. Maybe we can finally have an aged up Gotenks in this?

[sintzu]

If they don't think Vegeta can hold a movie without Goku given his popularity and establishment, why would they with someone completely new ? No Goku=No $$$. Sure it'll make $$$ but nowhere near as much as it will with Goku.

No. I think its that his spirit was the first Super Saiyan God

I think it's more Vegeta is a character who really can't hold a movie.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

[Grimlock]

Why? it still follows Toriyama's outline, as will this film.

Because Toei's retellings don't follow Toriyama's outline, they were based directly on the movies, and we don't have any information that Toriyama was involved with the retellings. That makes the movies "more canonical" than the other continuities.

[sintzu]

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Then why don't you tell me what's wrong in what I said ?

[Bullza]

Even the Bio-Broly movie back in the day took a noticeable hit at the Box Office.

Lord Slug - ¥2.05 billion ($14.9 million)
Cooler's Revenge - ¥2.2 billion ($16.2 million)
The Return of Cooler - ¥2.48 billion ($19.2 million)
Super Android 13 - ¥2.35 billion ($18.9 million)
The Legendary Super Saiyan - ¥2.12 billion ($20.4 million)
Bojack Unbound - ¥2.05 billion ($18.7 million)
Broly Second Coming - ¥2.24 billion ($22.2 million)
Bio Broly - ¥1.75 billion ($18.0 million)
Fusion Reborn - ¥1.98 billion ($22.7 million)

That's what happens when Goku, Vegeta or Gohan aren't in your movie and that at least still had some of the other major characters in it. Resurrection F saw a big uptick at the box office, possibly largely in part in bringing back another major character.

So what do you think would happen if they made a movie with none of the major characters? It'd take a severe hit. I can't seem them doing it nor should they.
