Balls. Game unavailable in my region.

Anyone got some deets on how to play it anyway?
(Does that count as piracy? If the game is free?)

Nevermind, managed to find a solution.

I saw the movie last night. It was pretty great.
What's the word on the spoilers? Free speech, no spoilers, or under black bars?

so, the moment when Freezer kills Paragus to trigger Broly's transformation into SSJ? stone cold. What got to me, however, was Broly's reaction to seeing his dead father. The Latin Dub was amazing, it was that desperate, breathless sobbing you get when everything breaks. You can hear the anguish and sorrow and rage in that second before he explodes into green CGI.

We know that, up until it gets retconed, Gohan will eventually write a book about the inner workings of Ki control which will lead to a world-wide resurgence of martial arts.

But Dr Gero figured it out in his lab sometime after the Red Ribbon army got killed and Freezer arriving at earth. And not only did he figure out Ki Control, he went full throttle ahead and also discovered how to artificially unlock it in humans, how to absorb Ki and manipulate it, and how to create an infinite ki engine that could be safely implanted in teenagers.

Dr Gero was a loving genius who went 100% Ahab and could have changed the world if not for his Goku Hateboner.

I really liked that bit during the fight when he realizes he done goofed. He just falls into despair about how those two are going to kill his Broly (Latam sub, haven't watched original subbed or English). He does love his son, wilfully exiled himself to save him, but then he went and allowed the Saiyan Pride to get in the way.

Besides, what else could he have done? Broly has a lot of issues when he gets angry, look at that moment in Freezer's ship, he was about to go medieval on that drunken lout.

And even then he failed because they defaulted to good person anyway later. They just needed a good example, 16 in the current timeline.

Personal theory about 21 is that she likely was a 2nd Cell-style Android, but was kept away somewhere different than Cell, which means that in this timeline the conputer kept acquiring data and samples, eventually adding Majin to the mix, which I assume is what allows 21 to change between Hot Scientist and Hot Bubblegum.

The thing is, he keeps them as Backup because each new set of Android's is exponentially more dangerous than the last.

Him and 19 just wanted to kill Goku, and we're willing to destroy a city to draw him out.

17 and 18 in the OG timeline spent roughly 20 years slowly killing every last human for funsies.

Cell ATE several cities in like 2 days, then absorbed 17 and 18 and if not for his Saiyan Pride, would have done the same thing 17 and 18 were doing followed by destroying the planet and doing the same somewhere else.

And then (evil) 21 is the Cell need to grow stronger plus Majin Candy Hunger, she was gonna Vore Reality.

The idea of Goku and Geets in the DC U is terrifying because they work by shonen rules, ever escalating self improvement, while most Western superheroes tend to not improve after getting their powers.

I like DB minus and the way it tied into the Broly movie, makes Bardock a lot more complete as a character. Yeah he is still an an rear end in a top hat who conquered planets for a job, but he loves his weak wife and his comment about having lived only destroying things and wanting to at least save one life is much deeper than simple "FREEZA KILL MAH FRENDS I KILL FREEZA"

Siegkrow
Oct 11, 2013

My big problem with Bardock's og backstory is that without spending time watching his friends it isn't really enough of a punch for the viewer to see him go insane with rage, while trying to save your baby at any cost is something 99% of people would empathize with easily.

Like, say we replace Bardock and his friends with Goku and Krillin during the King Piccolo saga and it becomes far far FAR more effective because we've spent time getting to know Krillin and being invested in Goku's friendship, while with Bardock all we get is "a buncha douches sitting around eating PEOPLE"

If the movie gets adapted into the next dragon Ball series like conflict of cats and the return of Freezy Pop, I hope THIS is what gets expanded on.

Fleshing out Raditz with a few episodes of his early life could drive interest up enough to, I dunno, revive him with the dragon balls or something.

Tribladeofchaos posted:

People who bring up Naoto as trans clearly didn't even play the game or pay attention. Kanji though is absolutely Bi though.

Kanji is very interesting to me because he is a man who likes unmanly things (like knitting and cute stuff) and has been ostracized for it in his childhood, and thus created an extremely hyper-masculine persona (pun not intended) over that.

And, whatever coding may be in there, he states that he likes women and seems bothered whenever people imply he is gay, so I dunno, should I take him at his word or should I pay more attention to the coding?

I did like that he basically went "Dad and Mr Vegeta decided to see the full Saiyan potential. I will look for my own path"
In the manga it was similar but with one key difference "Dad and Mr Vegeta will grow strong as Saiyans, I will find the potential of my human side".

Yamcha was a serial cheat.

It is really weird how that ended up, huh? Yamcha's whole deal was being gynophobic, he only started dating Bulma because he got to know her as a person first, then a girl. On the other hand, through a good chunk of OG Dragon Ball, Bulma was one horny girl who flirted with a lot of handsome guys (and also got harassed by Master Roshi).
