...So, make Yamcha an even bigger Toru Furuya reference thing? Upgrade from Spirit Ball to Spirit Funnels? While we're at it let's toss in him appearing out of nowhere wearing a tuxedo and a mask. Also something involving a Pegasus...

I'd be so totally cool with this you have no idea. Sadly making Yamcha just a gigantic reference to all of Toru Furuya's roles is never happening. Yamchamuroseiya Mask would be super neat though.

Actually, he was originally created as an exposition character who would explain things to the audience and demonstrate to us how high the stakes were by losing to villains early. Even Toriyama couldn't help that it would eventually make him seem pathetic.

Is there a youtube video anyone knows of that's a good introduction to dragonball/dbz for total newbies? My 9 year old sister wants to come see Revival of F with me tomorrow but she wants to know more about the story and characters before we go.

I'm not sure how to go about it since there's an awful lot of ground to cover with Z. Dragonball I think is summarized by one of the movies? Path to Power? So we might watch that and Battle of Gods tonight but I was hoping there'd be some way to fill her in about Frieza and stuff without having to watch hundreds of episodes (unless she wants to later on).

Resurrection F, or some of the super early information from it, originally suggested that this was part of the reason Freeza was going to be a challenge is that Goku and Vegeta couldn't turn into Super Saiyans/went full Buu Saga Gohan and no longer need Super Saiyan transformations.

haha yeah, i wish that video worked for this. it's amazing.

i can probably just explain frieza to her and i think it'll be okay. big bad space emperor that goku beat up a long time ago and now wants revenge. she mostly just wants to hang out with me and see if she likes stuff i like (we've been watching steven universe together and she loves it), so i wanted to help her not be totally lost. if she likes the movie she's probably going to want to watch the show but we'll see if it's too confusing or not.

That was never a thing, that was just speculation by this thread based on nothing, but the trailers showing no one in the SS form. In reality, that was just to hide the SSGSS form until it was time to reveal it.

Also, why would anyone want to get rid of Super Sayians? They're awesome!

Yes, also I can't help but imagine Vegeta and Nappa going out for drinks and then after getting drunk, Vegeta admits he's always regretted blowing Nappa up

Also Raditz and Nappa unlocking Super Saiyan to protect Goten & Trunks from some new villain's attack(everyone else was busy and Goten and Trunks wouldn't have been able to power up in time)

More like goten and trunks training Raditz and Nappa to become super saiyans, and also the fusion dance, also we need more fusions in general Gotenks along side a future Trunks/Gohan fusion would be awesome.

Nappa goes and apologizes to everyone in that city he blew up, and everyone else he killed the first time around(they all got brought back with some offscreen wishing during that time skip between Trunks killing Frieza and the Androids showing up), it takes a while for him to finish(also he gets in some My Name Is Earl shenanigans in the process)

Uhm, I think you mean he would apologize to all those people who were at church when he blew up their empty buildings.

I get thinking Nappa coming back would be cool since he seemed to not actually be so bad (wanting to wish Radditz back; upset that Vegeta killed the saibaman) but Radditz was a completely irredeemable piece of poo poo and one of the most evil bad guys in the series.

But people here were clamoring for a plot where Freeza becomes a good guy/joke when he was revealed to be in the new movie so I guess there's a group who wants DB to become some weird slice of life comedy.

I find this a strangely common thought on the internet. Not just in regards to DB, but we all media with a huge fan following. There just tends to be a group in that fandom that wants slice of life stuff.

Honestly I just wanted it because it goes in keeping with dragonballs basic theme. If Goku doesn't kill you, you're his ally later on. Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Piccolo (kinda), Vegeta, 16, 17, 18, Fat buu and Uub, not to mention all the ones I'm forgetting. Having Frieza come back from the dead, train up only to get shitstomped and maybe realize the error of his ways could have been interesting. Hell Goku actually gives him the same chance to leave and come back to fight him again that he does for a lot of his other villains.

I mean yeah Frieza is one of history's greatest monsters, but so is Bills, and at least in filler Vegeta wasn't much better. Bills casually commits genocide because your planet's food is too greasy, but is so bored with it that the idea is played off for laughs.

You can't tell me it wouldn't be at least slightly interesting to see Freeza forced to fight along Goku out of necessity, even if Freeza later tries to backstab him.
