A diatribe about Broly in DragonBall Super

Tweet

Broly's legend First began in 1993 And now he will be made canon in the 2018 movie Broly! Broly! Broly! Why are you still here? The very mention of your name Causes Vic Mignogna to shake in fear Plagiarism of Team Four Star(a team of Youtubers who created an abridged parody of the DragonBall Z, for the uninitiated among us), as I'm sure Albert Whisker and Rebelta James know, DragonBall Super will have a 2018 film simply titled "Broly." "Who is Broly," I'm sure many are wondering. Well in DragonBall there is an currently extinct race of humanoid aliens called "Saiyans" who are combat junkies, and after training enough they can acquire a form complete with blonde hair and a golden aura called "Super Saiyan." Broly was originally a non-canon movie villain that acquired this transformation, or rather a fully realized version that increased his power the more he fought. He was merely a roided up meat head, and of course this made him popular amongst fans. Heck, I even like him for the fact that he's a one-dimensional powerhouse. AndBut of course as with all things popular, Broly got rebooted by Dragonball series creator Akira Toriyama via editorial mandate. And where as many fans are expecting Broly to have a sense of depth and more personality beyond being powerful for the sake of it, I have no such expectations. Merely because what made Broly popular was that he was a meat head of few words, and that familiarity needs to be maintained despite the change in origin, and two, Toriyama is lazy AF. The simplicity of Broly's character fits within his wheelhouse as a writer. So let's just say I'm cautiously optimistic about the film. :p
