DBZ The Legendary Super Saiyan Reaction

Again, let me just say, I wrote these reactions a year ago. If you like them, maybe give me a follow, so you don't miss out when I write some new material. (I still need to watch DBS : Super Hero)

_ *_ _ _ *_ _ _*_

[Funnily enough, this is the original Japanese poster. I doesn't give you any to do with the plot. Also, the original title is: "Dragon Ball Z: Burn Up!! A Red-Hot, Raging, Super-Fierce Fight." Again, the title gives you nothing to go on. Even the spanish title is a little bit of intrigue, know as "The Invincible Power" (El Poder Invencible)]

What is there to say about Broly? After the really unremarkable Super 13, we get one of the most popular movies ever. I mean, the difference is night and day. In the last movie, the villain takes on his final form 25 minutes into the film. It takes 25 minutes into this movie for Broly to make his first move. Also, this is one of the longer movies at 72 minutes.

They do a lot with those first 25 minutes, taking the time to set up the deception, as well as Paragus/ Broli’s motivation.

Broly talks a bit more than I remember. It’s not that he’s just a Saiyan fighting machine, he takes sociopathic glee in hurting people. Like, he’s constantly looking to kill Gohan. And then, he also blows up the planet of those little aliens they had enslaved. Since he was born with such a high power level, he was basically invulnerable, which lead to the sociopathic tendencies, that coupled with the ‘saiya-jin bloodlust” plus I think his own powers both hurting/ healing his body, which fuels his strength like a perpetual energy machine.

And that’s the difference between this Broly, and Kale/ New Broly. They’re not psycho.

[Whoever said turning big and beefy made you slower and a bigger target didn't know what the f**k they were talking about.]

It should also be noted that Broly is the only DBZ movie villain that is basically a human, everyone else is a demon or another type of alien, which might also contribute to Broly’s popularity. (Oh, yeah, Turles, he’s so forgettable, lol)

Funny that Broly is so powerful that he makes Vegeta’s brain crash. In the face of The Legendary SSJ, the "Prince of all the Saiyans" doesn’t do anything until 55 minutes in, and he lasts less than 5 minutes.

[When they first meet, Vegeta automatically takes to giving Broly order. I'd guess that what Broly is wearing might be Saiyan "slave armor." Paragus built a castle, and dressed Broly up like a servant to lure Vegeta to his death. You can almost sympathize with Paragus. Broly was a psychopath growing up, that inevitably made their lives more difficult. Broly gauged out his father's eye without remorse. Putting the "control crown" on him could be for his own good.]

As I’ve pointed out, they did know how to keep the power creep going. Last movie we had 3 SSJs, this time it takes 4 SSJs to finish the fight. Also, they knew Broly needed the deck stacked against him, not only did Goku have to take energy from his friends, he ended up opening up the old knife wound that Broly had from when he was a baby, on top of having a comet destroy the planet they were on. It wasn’t really a win for Goku, as much as a tactical retreat.

10/10 – I really couldn’t find any faults in it.

WIP

[majin--vegeta]

This outfit and this age is peak Gohan. The man was a beast before beast was even a thing.

Edit: I'm not stating this is peak Gohan as a fact. It's a personal opinion that I've had since I first saw Teen Gohan in the Bojack movie. I just really love Teen Gohan in his father's outfit style and when he powers up he goes from a really happy-go-lucky smiling child to a ruthless stone cold killer protecting his friends and families world.

DBZ Dead Zone Reaction

This is a repost of a reaction/ review of the DBZ movies that I did.

-* -* -* -* -* -*- * -

I’ve got time to kill this week, so let me rewatch and talk about the DBZ movies.

<It's pretty clever that they show Garlic Jr. as huge and imposing on the poster.>

I love “Dead Zone.” Maybe you remember, Toonami loved to use this thing for clips during the commercials, because you want to lead with your best foot forward. It is spectacular looking. It kinda has the “thick line” style that is the mark of a good anime.

Although this “movie” is amazingly short, only 40 minutes. They do very well with only 40 minutes, as you can guess there are really great, but short, fight scenes of Goku vs Garlic’s minions.(Those people made such a big deal about Goku’s moves in Broly, they need to rewatch this.)

I used to be convinced that this was a perfect “inter-quel,” bridging the gap between the original Dragon Ball and the start of DBZ. Like, Goku became “Strongest Under the Heavens” so his only logical match ups would be Demons. Maybe that was the direction his life was going, he was just going to rid the world of demons. With some creative editing, you could make this fit 100%, but there are contradictions between this and the start of DBZ. (Krillin meets Gohan and Kami here, Goku calls Gohan his son, Piccolo also shows off that he’s also using weighted gear before the fight with Raditz. )

BTW, the original name of this movie is “Return my Gohan.” Considering that “gohan” is a type of rice, it seems like after getting married, Goku is going to spend his next adventure chasing after his lunch.

I really like Garlic Jr. I love how he adds a little more to Kami’s background. These fillers (the Garlic Jr Saga + GT) were really good for fleshing out more of the importance of the “Guardian of Earth.” There’s also a bit of theme of family in this. Garlic is taking revenge for his father, Goku is rescuing his son, in a way Piccolo is Kami’s son.

Garlic’s minions can power-up by growing bigger, like they get 20% beefier, this is a great set up for Garlic himself actually HULKING OUT. This is before Goku got any flashy power-up, so the saving grace was that Gohan was able to go berserk for the finally.

They could have also fleshed this out a little more by establishing where all this is happening? As I was rewatching, I assumed this was taking place in “Makai World,” explaining why the sky is perpetually orange, and where Garlic Jr’s castle came from. But after Garlic loses, the orange sky shatters and there’s the regular blue sky behind it.

But, at the time, the best thing about it was that it was mainly in universe. The Original Dragon Ball only had Alternate Universe movies.

7/10 - It looks really good, but its really short.
