As someone who was disappointed with Battle of the Gods, a movie where Frieza is the main villain sounds great.

Especially if he reaches a new level of power and reclaims his title as the strongest in the universe (before retcons, anyway). :dance:

Howse it feel to have no soul at all.

Mr. Satan vs Frieza!

I really want it to be a comedy take where Frieza is outclassed by everybody, but probably they will came up with a silly explanation like he was doing push ups in hell and now is mega powerful...

Birus is back yey!

No, there's going to be a montage of Krillin digging out his old outfit and shaving his head to get ready to fight Freeza again.

I recall an earlier blurb having Toriyama mention the movie will be "utterly funny."

An outclassed Freeza having to endure the antics everyone around him get involved in seem likely. :allears:

Does anyone know why Toriyama returned to DB after like a solid 20 years, by the way? I'm not complaining, just sorta curious because it was pretty out of nowhere.

Toei probably threw a bunch of cash at him?

Freeza: I'm back and I've been training all this time so I can beat a super saiyan!

Goku: Well... There is kind like five super saiyans right now... ...some of are level 2 and 3 super saiyans... ... there is a mystic saiyan...

Freeza: ...

Goku: ...also there is this super saiyan god...

Freeza: drat

I'm having difficulty imagining how this could possibly be played for anything but laughs. Like, if you shifted Yamcha and Krillin into the poster's central position I could totally see Toriyama's promise of more action coming true, I suppose. The emblem on Goku's gi must play into this. Maybe Goku is off training with Bills and Whis? But wait, that shouldn't stop him helping because instant transmission...

Unless Frieza instantly whips around uses the second wish on immortality, I can't see him posing an- Oh.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Even if he's immortal he's still weak as poo poo compared to the heavy hitters. Or the middleweights. Or the children. Honestly if he tried like, anything uncooth, Goku'd probably IT there and just have Freeza sit in the Shame Corner.

At first I was thinking that was a changed hair Yamcha, but given the poster positioning...I think that's Gohan, actually (The Freeza saga crew is hanging out on the right side, which is why those are picked). Now I'm all confused.

ANN posted:

In an interview with original creator Akira Toriyama in the magazine, he says that the 'F' in the title in fact stands for "Frieza," who will be revived in the film. Toriyama noted that he thought of the title while listening to the song "F" by Band Maximum The Hormone, who he came to know personally through a friend. In fact, one of the members told him that they had been singing the song about Frieza.

Frieza beats up King Dog and becomes king of Earth.

Turns out dealing with all the world threatening events that would destroy his planet takes up too much time for him to bother being evil.

I unironically would love a movie where Frieza takes over Earth, only to get sick of all of the villains that randomly want to destroy it for some reason and just give up on the planet.

It was a build up for a new form of Goku's that ultimately lost. If I wanted that, I could just watch SSJ3 be ineffectual in the Majin Buu Arc.

Not to mention the rest of the cast proving that they only exist to get slapped around by whatever new enemy shows up.

Bald Krillin might be a mistake, like SSJ Gohan in the first Battle of Gods poster. Some people are also theorizing it might take place in one of the alternate universes Beers mentioned in Battle of Gods.

Theres no second wish cus ???. I'm guessing Toriyama forgot cus in Battle of Gods only one wish was granted and in the teaser for this movie he says he'll only grant one wish.

Shenlong is sick of all this wishing bullshit. At least Porunga is treated with a little amount of respect. It's like clockwork on Earth: every goddamn year, the same bunch of assholes come around and wish for their dead friends to come back, or some stupid tree, or a pair of panties. Now they want two wishes out of him a year? gently caress that. Everybody gets one wish.

I dunno, considering that the people wishing are new, I could Shenlong cutting them some slack.

Edit: That said, I can independently confirm that in the trailer, Shenlong definitely says "only one wish."
