Due to a lack of a social life growing up. But Z broly has better conversational dialogue and was more fleshed out as a villain through his actions.

    Worth the watch again. Now that the TYBW anime is including cut content, clarifications and original concepts some issues with the finale might be helped. Isn't Senjumaru's Bankai similar to something we've seen in Sains Seiya? I'm pretty sure they were Gemni Saga inspired.

    I prefer old Broly, because he’s Broly, the first Broly, what made him Broly was his savagery and even originally he can be a sympathetic character, he was casted out and stabbed as a baby, and yes Kakarots crying had a factor but I think it’s more of a PTSD like when a veteran hears a gun shot he gets taken back to the war days, in Brolys case when he here’s Kakarot it takes him back to those cries and when he was stabbed and casted out, is it pretty stupid, yeah a bit, but it’s not how most people phrase it as “he is triggered by kakarots crying” and yes new Broly has a more thought out backstory, but it’s the same premise almost, and new Broly I do like very much but the original just has this furiously and this cunning villain who is an absolute powerhouse with half the time

      @Ratzilla_91 I have a separate video explaining the crying, but basically in Japan they hold a belief that the louder a baby cries represents how strong an adult they will grow up to be (willpower) and essentially Goku's cries meant that Broly's greater strength couldn't intimidate him, think how the legendary super saiyan transformation caused an adult Vegeta to lose the will to fight, in essence Broly despised that Goku wouldn't cower before him.

      ​@@MofiyinFayemi Don't pop a blood vessel. The Buu Saga bar none portrayed Goku at his absolute best and most intelligent. He used strategy to defeat Yakon, him passing down the fusion dance depicts him as a teacher, him learning said technique in other world from aliens shows him as worldly. Again yes this is him at his best. Goku acknowledged and realized the issues of Super Saiyan 3, unlike future Trunks with Grade 3, which by the way you mislabeled as Grade 2. Besides he openly stated he intended to let the living fight/finish Buu off instead. Likewise though Grade 3 expended energy at a faster rate, it more so backfired in the sense of hindering movement. In addition to that every major character had their best moment in the Buu Saga. Vegeta-Final Atonement, Piccolo telling Vegeta he won't receive a good afterlife. Ultimate Gohan confronting Super Buu. Adding Old Supreme Kai to the cast replaced the greatest loss endured from the transition of Dragon Ball to the Z era, which involved fulfilling the role that Roshi formerly played after getting relegated to comedic relief. I have other videos discussing my thoughts on the inclusion of God energy, I initially expressed concern over it surpassing Buu, but as Gods could feasibly possess greater strength than a demon, I said I would give it a chance. And in the end I thought it was terrible and yielded a bad product.

First off the Buu Saga is iconic it had tons of memorable important moments for the franchise i'll never understand the flack it gets from some people and your claim of Z villains having no story? Wtf? Plenty of villains in Z had an actual Backstory even most of Movie villains themselves has one idk where this argument came from but its completely false, Buu himself has a Backstory explained by Supreme Kai that Buu was created by Bibidi, Z Broly has a Backstory with Paragus Storytelling in the 1st Broly movie showing visual Flashbacks of Paragus trying to restrain Broly's power with the mind control Device and then later on in the film Paragus explains to Vegeta how his father Caused Broly to be executed, Stabbed in the stomach as an infant and thrown away like trash until Frieza blowed up the planet with Baby Broly using his power from all the trauma to protect him and Paragus from the Planetary explosion, Keep in mind they showed us with a flashback once again how all of it happened, How exactly is any of this "When Dragon Ball had no story" According to you? smh things like this is why i have a hard time taking any of you Modern DBS fans seriously and the fact you brought up the whole "Getting mad at Goku crying" again goes to show that as usual you new fans take that scene out of context and try using it as a way to bash Broly while ignoring the events that happened during the Backstory. All i see from your comment is "Z Fans this, Z Fans that" well pardon me if us Z fans don't accept mediocrity the same way that you guys do with DBS. Truth is the franchise should of ended at GT because that was the TRUE conclusion and continuation to Z. Super on the other hand is a parody and it doesn't have the soul and passion that OG DB, DBZ and DBGT had. Super is just soulless with constant retcons ruining the original Lore of Dragon Ball this is the facts man.

    The amount of headcanon and reaching you have to make to even get Z Broly to be a somewhat decent character, he’s not, is kind of wild. Broly’s reasons don’t make any sense no matter the way you look at it, it’s poor writing and something Super Broly objectively does better, offering a more nuanced and fleshed out character than Z Broly.

If Broly was mad or upset that baby Goku wouldn’t stop crying to submit to Broly then it doesn’t even equate to the specifics of the tradition. And, again, even if it was based on that ritual, that doesn’t make it any less stupid. Why does Broly specifically remember Goku from that moment when they couldn’t even sense energy at that point? Why is it just the sight of Goku that sets Broly off then? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have him be set off by, let’s say, Baby Trunks’ cry instead? So no, it’s not perfectly within reason, and if it was, so what? It’s still a terrible backstory. Doesn’t matter if it’s based off of a tradition or not.

    One theme that I'm noticing in these sequel shows to legacy series: they basically come off as badly written fanfiction. _Yashahime, Boruto,_ and _DBS..._ These new characters feel like cringe OC's who more often than not are just Mary Sues. Mostly they are written and plotted out by people who _try_ to mimic the style of the original creators, but who clearly don't understand the characters or the stories and ultimately end up making something superficial and inauthentic. It's disappointing because most of the people working on these projects "claim" to be fans, but they all seem to lack a basic understanding of what made the original so great and thus just end up with a pale imitation which cheapens the legacy of the original. I also question if the making all 3 characters female was a good idea. It just feels like they took the original concept and decided to redo it... with girls. If the idea was to avoid retelling the original story by using inverted genders....they _still_ failed because all they did was retell the original story...except with _female characters._ 😑 These girls each just seem like copies of their parents. Setsuna is her father, and Moroha essentially had the same upbringing as _her_ father. It would have been interesting had one of Sesshomaru's daughters had a life like Inu Yasha, and Inu Yasha's daughter had been raised by the demon slayer clan. I dunno. I've read fanfic with the EXACT scenario and plot as the _Yashahime,_ which is what made this series even MORE disappointing, frankly. Even though I wasn't able to finish the _Yashahime_ series I very much enjoyed your analysis and breakdown of the characters and story here! You have put into words why I couldn't get into _Yashahime._ This is the 2nd video of yours that I've watched so far (The very first was your Broly video from a few hours ago...which btw I 100% agree with! I am still writing the review for that one, but got sidetracked with looking through your channel and watching this. 😆) I very much look forward to seeing more of your work! ❤️👏🏾

      @Rose_Bride I'm happy you enjoyed my videos and that I could help you better articulate your dissatisfactions with the series. From what you might already gather I agree with all your positions. With the writers I can see them being fans, even knowledgeable ones at that, but that doesn't automatically mean they comprehend why they enjoyed it. With inverting the genders of characters to differ from the past roles unintentionally makes it all the more obvious of this being a knockoff rather than its own independent story. I hope you enjoy what videos of mine you may watch next.

I'm currently typing up scripts (one over 70 pages) with the intention of seeing if I can use a program to clone my voice and have it narrate on my behalf.

    “Getting powered up by rage is poor storytelling”? Didn’t Goku get Super Saiyan through rage?

    • @lonelyboyadventurer1033
      @lonelyboyadventurer1033 3 месяца назад

      @harrisoncora4259 I wrote this video several years back, so I could be misremembering, but I think the context was rage acting as a convenient get out of jail free card to match Zamasu/Black's strength, whereas at the time Super Saiyan rubbed off as a transcendent divine state (not just a power-up). Even consider that Goku didn't let rage consume him against Frieza. Super Saiyan emerges from desperation and being pushed to the limit: Kaioken/Spirit bmb failed and the presumed loss of Dragon Balls; Krillin's death merely served as the straw that broke the camel's back.

    Great video but i wish you would talk more about DBZ fans ragging on Vegeta's reaction to Broly, saying that it's "out of character" or that "Vegeta would never act that way" To me, Vegeta's reaction to Broly made complete and perfect sense. If Broly wasn't a Saiyan and Vegeta acted this way, then maybe I'd agree with the critics but, that's not the case. From Vegeta's perspective, he's supposed to be the prince of all Saiyans but he's seeing Broly who is so much more powerful and genetically superior to him in every way that it makes him feel uneasy. Broly literally embodies every single trait of the Saiyans but amplified and turned up to 10 and that probably makes Vegeta feel super emasculated, inadequate and, overall obsolete. He's seeing a true Saiyan warrior that's more Saiyan than he ever was or ever will be. The moment he saw Broly transform into the Legendary Super Saiyan, he realized that he isn't worthy to call himself the "prince of all Saiyans." Seeing another Saiyan besides Goku being so much more powerful than him, pretty much broke his fighting spirit. At least, that's my interpretation.

    This is one of the best shonens out there and super underrated in my opinion. Saint Seiya is one of my favourite shonens period. I want to see a blu ray for this anime one day. I’ll also pick up the final edition in Japanese to support Kurumada.

      @projectmessiah Thanks, this video wasn't intended to hate on the present, but more so to depict how the past shaped the present, I admit, maybe even slightly encourage the newer generations to give the classics a chance. With that said I more often than not find that I prefer older series to newer ones, and yeah I definitely feel the influence has become more noticeable as of late, I think it stems from how the newer writers are more inspired by anime/manga, while the old guard more so originated from other types of media.

    The story and characters are great, but even so i am not sure if it is the best balanced. Compare Pyunma, Heinrich, Geronimo and Chang to Joe, Jet and Great Britain. The former look like jobbers compared to the latter, with possible exception of G.B. because he never had the idea of turning into things guns, flamethrowers, cranes and so on.

      @ITSMRFOXY Interesting points, I will say I originally struggled to think of a title for this video, and this came to mind, so maybe I over-emphasized it a little too much for thematic purposes. Anyway if I could rework this video's name I would change it to Cyborg:009: A Love Letter to Science Fiction.

    Thank you for this video. I've been a dragon ball fan for years and honestly the more I see people like you analyze the series, the more I appreciate it as alI get older. This video honestly meant a lot to me, especially the section of goku finding enjoyment out of thigs he does and feeling self-fulfilled rather than striving to achieve short-term goals that don't keep him permanently happy (like vegeta), having shallow goals (like bulma and chi-chi), and not understanding himself (like tien). It honestly feels like a life lesson in general and I really needed to hear that as corny as it sounds. I've been on a journey of self-improvement and I'll be using this newfound viewpoint as one of my sources of motivation. Thank you 🙏🏾

    But TV Tropes and sites similar to them say that Vegeta is smarter than Goku. They call Goku a "nice moron" and call Vegeta a "smart jerk."

    • @lonelyboyadventurer1033
      @lonelyboyadventurer1033 4 месяца назад

      @IsiahAllison The DBZ community is rife with flanderizations, that have become gospel to the masses. Vegeta's book smarts intentionally mislead people into thinking he is bright, when he is actually blind to the truth, while Goku's uneducated country background trick people into thinking he is dumb, when he can actually understand the greater picture. So, basically I'm saying TV Tropes couldn't see past the surface layer of the series.

    I agree inuyasha is one of the best written anime. Naraku is ingenius and cunning. He easily top 5 greatest villain's in anime of all time. He literally screws over every major character in the show and burns hatred in them. Their literally will never be another villian as well written and devious as Naraku.

    I mean, Z Broly makes even more sense if you watch it in japanese rather then the dub, because Vegeta ends up saying Kakarotto in the hall like he usually does, not Goku like funimation wants you to think. also Cooler is also a bigger character but he mainly uses purple and blue, and Janemba wouldn't have his movie come out untill 1991 ( 1995 for japanese theater/home movie release, and 2006 for english dub release.) but even Janemba has his own contrast with Z Broly. (Janemba has red and purple as his primaries, white as his secondary and a tiny bit of yellow for his eyes in his main form, and in his original form he was mainly yellow and purple with a little bit of white.) In a way it doesn't matter which villain you use, Z broly will still have at least one contrasting color. also it definitely helps that more color theory was used for Z Broly, then Super Broly. (color meanings and what colors look good together, the excessive use of greens just makes Super Broly drown.)

    Also the reason why the 2nd and 3rd movies lacked was because the voice actor got accused of SA. So they couldnt have him do the voice over so they dumbed broly down to not give away that vic wasnt available
