Hi. I don't know who Broly is and I never finished illegally downloading the Cell saga 15 years ago in college. Also, the lack of Bruce Faulconer music kind of throws me off. Is this movie for me?

Outside of a couple meta jokes, there's no need to know who Broly is prior (and not knowing the character beforehand might make the movie even better). Regarding music, DBS: Broly's score is kind of out of the ordinary for the franchise, and I'd call it a middle ground between Faulconer and the original stylistically. You'll dig it if you're a Faulconer fan.

That said, you should really at least wikipedia through the post-Cell canon material, because one thing from the Buu saga (the Fusion Dance) is a huge deal in the movie and not super well-explained, and the movie makes a bunch of offhanded references to stuff from Super that'll leave you extremely lost if you're unfamiliar.

Goku's pretty fuckin' dumb. At one point in Super, Goku, a grandfather, sees a couple kiss each other and is perplexed by what that was.

That "kiss" scene is meant to be a joke about how he misunderstands Vegeta, making Vegeta think he doesn't know what a kiss is. People have really hooked onto this misread of it though.

Vegeta once put a pacifier in his mouth to stop himself from phasing out of existence, and he wasn't embarrassed about the affair until he learned pacifiers are for babies. Vegeta had a 12-year-old son by this point. so he should have known.

I am extremely weird in that I've seen the Buu saga up to where he reincarnates and Goku takes him off to "train". But nothing after that, and nothing between Android 18 showing up and the beginning of the story where Babidi makes Vegeta evil again.

I remember, without googling: Goku as a kid with a tail, doing some tournament stuff? Mr. Satan was there. Roshii being on an island, maybe a turtle shell? Dude's horny AF Bulma. Capsule corp. A lot of capsule corp stuff just, like, all over the place. Also, Bulma had curly hair at one point. Training in a gravity spaceship? Frieza being a poo poo and cutting Krillin in half. Then Frieza got killed and dissolved. Also I thought Frieza was a woman. Vegeta + Bulma, V wearing a pink T-shirt. The Androids, something about Future Trunks (maybe this was a movie?). They were bad, now they're good, Krillin his horny for 18. Somewhere in the above, a movie involving the Spirit Bomb and a bigass tree \o/ The entirety of the Cell saga from start to finish, for some reason. Fat buu, then evil ripped buu, and then a kid named Uub that has some connection? There were "M"s on people's foreheads for some reason (even Vegeta?). IDK this is where I kinda fell off. Afterwards, there was a sequel called Kai (I think?), and the dragon balls themselves were spread over different planets or something and also Goku had his tail back? I watched like two episodes and that's it.

Kai is just a heavily edited version of DBZ. Uub is from Dragonball GT, which is a weird non-canon / alternate timeline / whatever thing that isn't relevant to anything that's happened to the series in years. It's got Vegeta with a Freddie Mercury-looking mustache, though, possibly its one contribution of any worth.

I think GT is also where Vegeta gets roped into taking his daughter shopping. Basically usually the only good parts of non-cannon Dragonball are "Vegeta: Hapless Family Man"

GT was basically when Toriyama was sick of DBZ and dealing with executives, so he deliberately tell them the most ridiculous things because he just stopped giving a gently caress at that point.

Toriyama only gave the series its title and contributed some art. He didn't actually do anything with the plot and left that up to Toei Animation. He allowed them to make it, but yah, all the weird poo poo that happens in it is what happens when the creator is largely not involved.

Jaco is a surprisingly good addition to the show.

Dragon Ball Super seems to have pacing that's a world above DBZ. It's got an almost seasonal structure, which major arcs shifting between dramatic and light fun (though still leading into one another) and 'filler' between them that leans more to the slice-of-life comedy and some mini-arcs that give secondary characters time in the spotlight.

Super is a mixed bag (although, personally, I liked almost all of it), but it does indeed have some of the best slice of life moments in the entire series. Highlights include: the baseball episode, anytime Piccolo interacts with his granddaughter Pan, and Goku learning to farm. Whoever told you it's basically all that is lying though, it's still got all the good old fashion punchy goodness you could ever want. SolarFire2 posted:SUper also revives the orignal Dragonball trope of too many tournaments. True, but the Tournament of Power was one of my favorite arc of all time so I forgive it for that.

Buy the tickets online, go to a late night screening? DBS does the tournaments a bit better too in that the two so far have been very different from each other, and they bring back the great Dragon Ball tradition of using them to introduce all kinds of new characters at once, as well as forcing the characters to switch up their usual tactics to follow different rules. And introducing some characters potentially on the level of Goku and Vegeta but in completely different ways.

LEGO Movie 2 was about a half step behind the first but overall still worth a theater visit for anyone who enjoyed the first. The plot goes a little more crazy, and some characters don’t get enough love (less Batman more Unikitty and Bennie goddamn it) but even as someone who is on the record as anti-musical I enjoyed the songs after I warmed up to their style.
