I like that I never really thought about Shenron being an rear end in a top hat until I started reading forums and people pointed it out.

you really think the protagonists would keep better track of the Dragonballs really to stop poo poo like this from going down.

Now I just hope that this is how Freeza's minions end up with them. You have 'definately not an alien' Saskatoonberry hanging in the audience with a bunch of bingo cards at a birthday party so he can get the balls handed to him.

For all of you asking about the spoiled images of the start of the Revival of F movie, the synopsis of the first manga is up:

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/spin-offs/movie/freeza-01/

quote:

Shenlong has indeed been summoned, and before him stand Sorbet, Tagoma, and the Pilaf trio (who are still children). Shenlong tells them to state their desire, for he will grant any wish. Pilaf invites Sorbet to do so, while Mai (under her breath) questions the wisdom of letting them have a wish with the Dragon Balls they worked so hard to collect. Pilaf shoots back that they have no choice, and to keep quiet.

Sorbet shouts for the Dragon to resurrect Lord Freeza, but Shenlong remains silent. Sorbet asks what’s wrong: he can grant any wish, right? The Dragon says that it is indeed possible, but that person’s mortal body was cut into pieces quite a long time ago, and cannot be brought back to life. It would be meaningless for his soul to return to it as-is.

Sorbet is briefly troubled by this news, but Tagoma suggests the recovery chambers currently used by their forces might be able to revive him. His concerns allayed, Sorbet shouts, “Hey! I don’t care if he’s in pieces, just revive him already!” The Dragon is displeased with his high-and-mighty demeanor, but since he has no choice, he does as he is bidden. Shenlong’s eyes glow….

I'm going to assume that the revival chamber they use to fix Frieza's body is a relatively new invention. Otherwise, why the hell wouldn't they have used it on him after Namek.

Freeza's father told him to avoid fighting Beerus and Buu at all costs when younger, and hearing that Goku beat Buu sparks Freeza to go train for the first time, and to train for four months.

I can't decide what's worse, this page or the new information about the Revival Of Freeza manga/movie.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/spin-offs/movie/freeza-01/
"...Sorbet tries to warn him off, saying that the Saiyan named Son Goku became even more powerful than that. This, however, amuses Freeza, who claims it was entirely expected: “I merely have to become stronger than he is.” Sorbet goes on to say that he defeated even Majin Buu… though after that, they have no data. “Majin Buu…” muses Freeza, “Papa told me never to lay a hand on only two people: God of Destruction Beerus, and Majin Buu. That Majin Buu, eh?…” Sorbet nervously agrees. Freeza is not happy: “…That is beyond what I had imagined.”

“However,” smirks the overlord, “isn’t it interesting?” Sorbet asks what he means. “Since I was a born genius, I have never done such a thing as a training, nor have I ever had any need.” At this, he ascends into the air. “I wonder what will happen… if I train, and draw out all my latent potential…”

“You mean… you’ll be able to get stronger?” asks Sorbet hesitantly. “Well, of course,” replies Freeza, “according to my predictions, I will…. If I train in earnest for four months… I should be able to snuff out even that Saiyan in the blink of an eye…” Sorbet and the others are astounded: “What… that much stronger…?” Freeza just grins an evil grin..."

Looks like Toriyama truly doesn't care anymore about writing a good story. The funny thing is, some people hated GT because Toriyama didn't make it and it was full of plot holes. Well, Toriyama made Battle Of Gods, DB Minus, and now this new Revival Of Freeza movie and they are not much better than GT.

DBZ should have been allowed to die with dignity back in 1996.

If Revival of F is only half as good as Battle of Gods, it will still be one of the best DBZ movies by miles.
