I mean even the RoF manga which was literally a pre god in base retcon product purely to promote the films... He still changed a bunch of things for the better (no zarbon tier idiots hitting Piccolo, Gohan not getting beat by first form Freeza, no piccolo dying like the show...)The Undying wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 1:23 pm Personally, I completely agree with Magnificent Ponta on Minus. If I have any distaste for that chapter, it's purely because it's background fluff rather than a concisely told story. Its depiction of Bardock doesn't make him more "special" than the original TV outing, in my view; he thinks more critically than most other Saiyans and appears to have more of an altruistic streak than expected, but he's certainly not as physically out-of-the-ordinary as originally portrayed. He does stand out psychologically, but I'm fine with that, and I feel that his TV special arguably infringes on the Saiyan arc's themes more than Minus since it highlights Goku's genetic potential over his individual talents and hard work. But I understand why some of the audience might feel differently. As Yuji puts it, de-emphasizing the irony of Goku's purpose in conquering the planet he considers home is an understandable critique. I'd argue that neither one of them ultimately enhances the original manga, and both thus feel unnecessary as stand-alones, but you can enjoy them if they resonate.
However, as the re-read has noted, and as I've said many many times, the Minus material works perfectly in the Broly film. I love the movie upholding its primary theme of fatherhood and generational ripple effects through its juxtaposition of Goku, Vegeta and Broly. I'm surprised you didn't mention the bonus chapter's final panel deliberately only showing the parents of DBS Broly's principal cast, although I suppose the narration box spells it out well enough on its own.
While Toyotaro does take a few artistic liberties in drawing Broly's events, I really don't get the impression that he's trying to change anything about the film. Note that Goku and Vegeta's clothes are intact (with absolutely no battle damage) when they use the fusion dance, which is honestly unlikely if they're supposed to be doing that as a last resort. The manga takes these liberties as a way of compressing the film to get its points across, but I don't think the intention was to imply it happened differently at all. It skips it because it's essentially asking its readers to watch it.
Merry Christmas, y'all!
So it's fair to say his hypothetical Broly retelling would not be panel for panel.
I think the failed fusions thing, while funny made no sense why Broly didn't kill Freeza, they will probably put them in the RoSaT between attempts or have them succeed first time/after one fail.
More fighting together before fusion. Probably not as much focus on wrathful form, base gets owned and goes Super Saiyan.
No Base goku fighting a God Tier foe that reeked of toei bullshit.
He's not limited by paying VA's so probably would have reaction shots from other fighters.
