The story of Broly's green hair

[Saturnine]

I've noticed that the new Broly design, as well as Kale, sport natural green hair in their best forms. But it's quite interesting to examine how this came to be.

Because the original Broly's greenish hair was a thing only in his first movie, with it becoming fully gold ad the end, and remaining that way for the entirety of Movie 10. This suggests that the greenish color was a lingering after-effect of Paragus' control crown. But for some reason game makers decided to capitalize on this trait of Broly's - in every next game that came out, Broly's hair was potrayed as greener and greener, to the point of exaggeration - the worst offender being probably the Raging Blast series, where Broly's SSj3 hair becomes literally green, way more than it ever was even in the first movie.

And now we got the green hair as a natural trait of this branch of transformations with both Kale and the new Broly. I'm fine with that, but it does feel a bit weird that ignorance + artistic license on part of the game makers basically got ascended into canon - something that was pretty much a misunderstanding. It's entirely the game makers' fault that Broly's greenish hair became such an iconic trait of his.

I feel like the game designers pushed the green hair because it was an iconic trait of his in the first movie. He was the only Super Saiyan who had green hair. Of course at the time he was also the only Super Saiyan who had turquoise/purple hair too but I haven't seen that form outside one of the Budokai/Budokai Tenkaichi games. I think one or two did have Legendary Super Saiyan with the proper golden hair.

I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, but I think it's very fitting for the veggie people to have spiky green hair like a leafy plant stalk.

Look at this image and tell me if color theory doesn't help.

I have always theorized that SSJ Rage consisted of a lower entry into SSJ Berserk, because when two forces or colors are in equilibrium, the green form stands out as the strongest, and the Saiyan becomes imbalanced, as opposed to the harmonious SSJ God. Green and red are also opponents, and when their forces are null, the yellow and blue SSJ forms stand out.

It used to frustrate me when I was younger when he would have green hair in some games. His slight green tint just seemed like a stylistic choice for Movie 8. Movie 10 proves this because his hair is blonde in that movie. Now everything has ugly green hair.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that theory. Tried testing it too with that eye-crossing image that supposedly lets you see an "impossible color" after some time. Pretty fun stuff!
