Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Honestly Cooler and Broly are the only movie villains that are as recognized as Frieza, Cell, and Buu. Ask the guy who watched DBZ on Toonami as a kid and never again since then who Dr. Wheelo or Bojack are and I doubt he'd be able to tell you, but he more than likely knows Cooler is Frieza's brother.

They got multiple movies for a reason, after all.

For as dumb as Broly is he is the only villain to make Vegeta completely wuss out. At least with Frieza he tried something.

I will admit that I always liked Broly. he was the embodiment of what they were always talking about in the Namek Saga - the real Legendary Super Saiyan, a dude so powerful that it just drove him completely batshit insane.
Of course I was informed this was a complete anime invention, even in Namek. But whatever.

Plus Broly has instigated some of the best (worst) debates in DBZ when it comes to power levels and all that.

I still can't believe that's Edward Elric.

Apparently every time they need new lines for him in the games, the first thing Vic Mignogna hears when he's called is "Vic, I'm sorry but..."

Broly is all right for what he is, a big monster truck of a Saiyan made of three tons of cackling, screaming meat.

Yeah, I liked Broly for the longest while despite not having even seen the movies (I read the comic adaptation of the movie, I think) because he was just so loving strong and powerful and always screaming while beating the poo poo out of the main characters with wrestling moves and none of the punching a dude ineffectually a dozen times in a split second poo poo. It made an impression on me, and I thought he was so cool.

I also liked Future Trunks too, cause he was so dark and edgy but also because he had a sword and swords were cool.

Now, and mainly because of Team Fourstar, Piccolo is probably my favorite character.

I remember Pan's character profile blurb thing in BT3 said she couldn't turn Super Saiyan because she was only 1/4 Saiyan.

I can't believe I'm going to use GT as proof here but:
GT's ending itself itself (the series where pan actually became a character) had like 1/16th ones going all SSJ on us so that's BS. :v:

The claim was based on one of the GT Perfect Guides... which was immediately proven wrong with Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. (both of whom are 1/16th) going Super Saiyan.
The next Perfect Guide immediately reversed that claim. Toriyama's gone on record that he just never made the design for her.

Just retcon it that Pan inherited the Mystic powerup. She gets to kickass now that she's aware she's 160 million times stronger than before and it explains why GT decided to make Gohan transform again.

Not really. I mean, the only thing I remember was the Kai saying that there's no point in going SSJ anymore because Mystic Gohan is his most powerful form.

The only ones set after he has this powerup are Wrath of the Dragon and Battle of Gods (kinda unclear with Fusion Reborn) and he doesn't go Super Saiyan in any of them. There was a preview video or poster or something of Battle of Gods that showed him going SSJ but that was apparently an error and they fixed it in the movie.

Gohan goes SSj during both the failed and the successful power transfers to create SSj God. I just double-checked it myself on my copy.

It was an error. The preview had him going SSJ but when it was pointed out by hordes of rabid fans they quickly went back and redrew the scene to have him power-up in a way consistent with his mystic power-up in the anime.

Yeah, but that's different. Super Saiyan God probably specifically needed super saiyan shenanigans. It's not Gohan was gonna go out there and fight in that form.

Old Kai also told Gohan to do that Super Saiyan thing to use his mystic powerup. It just overwrote the blonde.

One of the best parts. Battle of Gods is a good movie if you aren't expecting full on fights. It is a very silly rear end movie.

You know why Bills decides to gently caress up the earth?

loving Fat Buu was being an rear end in a top hat not sharing the pudding

If that doesn't convince you Battle of the Gods is great. Well I don't know what to tell you.

The first 8 episodes are up on NicoNico Douga, and seemed to get a good reception, but no new translations have been done for years.

Shame really, I get a kick out of Japanese fans reacting to western takes on Japanese media.
