Hopefully it's about his past, because that would beat any new SSJ garbage that's been thrown at us constantly.

...This was also totally unexpected news to come online to find.

Aww. See, I hate to say it, but I'm kinda on the opposite end of the fence here. I really don't care too much for 'badass' Vegeta, simply because...he's never as badass as he thinks he is. It's always 'I AM THE STRONGEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN' five seconds before 'OH GOD MY ARM'. Or he just makes things worse somehow before getting shoved aside. But a Vegeta that's at least a tiny bit more calm, which we get from doing post-series stuff anyway, and has a comedic edge that the JSAT and BoG gave us? THAT'S the Vegeta I'm really starting to enjoy. It's just so ludicrous that I find it amazing and awesome.

That said though, I'm still not really sure how I feel about a movie with Vegeta as the star. It'd be nice to get something not focusing on Goku of course, but...eh...are they ever gonna give Pan and Oob their due or not, bleh.

No. F*** no. If this is more of "Vegeta bypassing Goku" (that was bullshit in BoG, SSJ Vegeta can not be more powerful than Goku if he can't even go SSJ3), Toei staff need to take their cyanide pills (all animation studios have them) and end this nonsense.

I've heard a rumor that DBZ movie 6 was originally going to feature Piccolo and Vegeta, but Koyama, the scrptwriter, changed it and Goku eventually became the protagonist as always. It's just a rumor, though.

I hope that rumor was true. I would like to see what they plan to do with Movie 6 before they throw Coola into it and made it into a rehash of Mecha Freeza.

With this and the whole 'And More' thing, I'm fairly certain that we'll be seeing a new movie in the not too distant future and Toriyama's just not allowed to confirm or say anything concrete yet. Wouldn't want another 'Dragon Ball Kai Buu Arc' situation now, would we? OR maybe that's just wishful thinking... :lol:

There was also this comment which we can add to the pile:
If there’s another movie, would you want to be involved?
I don’t think I’d want to be actively involved, but if I get a request and I have the time, I suppose I might.
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/ ... -toriyama/

In all honesty though, I'd much rather see a movie with Piccolo in the spotlight. I was really hoping that that was gonna be the case in BOG. I guess I just think that it'd be nice to see some new material that focused on something other than the Saiyans...not that I mind more Saiyan back story.

EDIT: Was it just me, or did anyone else mentally draw a connection between this and the Goku's Mother news? Even though nothing has been said that would suggest that these two things are related...

First time I've heard such a rumor, huh. That certainly would have proved interesting. Though with movie 6, I have less of a problem with Goku being in it than I do with Metal Cooler being pretty superfluous when it could have just been the Gete Star being DBZ's answer to Unicron.

Its less nitpicking with you and more along the lines of tear a new one out of any new content.

What I'd like: Something set shortly after BoG, Vegeta gets SSJ God and is the one to beat the big bad and save the day. At the end Goku and Vegeta are about to have a God-mode rematch.

What we'll get: Kid Vegeta, Freeza, Birus cameo. Gine knew Vegeta and Birus, there are some bizarre connections going on, Gine gets sent back in time and becomes the original SSJ God.

Well,just like Herms said,if there is a new movie,he thinks that Vegeta will going to be protagonist,so nothing is confirmed yet,but at least they think about new movie.

It's very cool to see how excited people are on here even at the possibility of Vegeta being the protagonist in a DBZ movie. I think it says a lot about us (fans on this forum at least, not representative of all fans mind you but still...) that we need something different and original! Any changing up of the standard formula (Goku saves the day, Goku Goku Goku) just seems to evoke some needed excitement and passion. Not that a movie with Goku as the lead can't be phenomenal or great but it's always fantastic to see something new (especially in the DB universe).

They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

Man, I really hope so. I would love to see someone other than Goku grab the spotlight. Also I would say more on all the interesting news that came out today but I'm out and about right now. Might have more to say later.

This is great news! I feel that Vegeta, as the secondary hero in the BoG, is very appropriate to be the center of a new story. He's overdue for a heroic moment of triumph.

Its just a level and doesnt mean anything if we compare some situations.
for example: Goten or Trunks super saiyan cant beat Goku/Vegeta base form.

and if you want to use the training scene between vegeta and trunks where vegeta got punched as reply, dont bother.
Vegeta didnt expect trunks was to be that strong and low his guard,thats all.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

If post-Buu base Goku is weaker than Freeza, and thus weaker than Freeza-arc SSJ Goku, then I really don't think there's any overcoming those forms. Personally, I like the idea that the base Saiyans never surpassed Freeza, and it really did take a Super Saiyan to beat him. It makes the power crawl more believable too.

I agree. I suppose the only problem it raises is for power level enthusiasts figuring out the logistics of Super Saiyan grades 2 + 3, as well as full power Super Saiyan, but...I don't really care about that particularly.
