#dragon ball super: broly

[thisiguy]

"Wait why are we letting him go? No. No! Don't let him fucking go! I hate you Kakarot! I fucking hate yooou!"

"I'm sure Frieza doesn't mean it. I bet he's real sorry deep down."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

seriously, though, PLEASE check out dragon ball super: broly abridged. it's at least on par at early dbza season 2.

Father & Son

broly having sensory issues so he doesnt wear necklaces because of his past, and also not wearing certain shirts because it makes him itchy.

so he usually walks around the house with no shirt on because he freaks when he feels a certain fabric on him. :(

or even he also has a hard time understanding things still, like he knows how to operate a shower. but, he doesnt know how to work a washer or tub. he also doesnt know how certain things can work (technological advances)

he also doesnt understand why eating with utensils, he finds it better to eat with his hands :(.

you give him all your grace because he grew up on such a planet and his father basically fucked him up, so he doesnt have to (at least, you dont force him) know everything.

he also doesn’t speak very much, only getting verbal when he needs to tell you something.

“i would like for you to keep this.” he mumbles, a palm out with a rock in his palm. “ i found it approximately two days ago and it looked pretty like you.” he doesn’t understand the words of pretty in relationship terms, but pretty is pretty.

you feel your heart drop, squeeze, clench, and shatter.

“d’aw– broly has a crush!” kakarot exclaims, eyes widened when he looks at the rock. “i knew it!”

and poor broly is just confused, because he doesn’t understand what the hell a crush is.

“thank you, broly.”

The headshots obviously aren’t done but I gotta get the Broly brainrot out somehow, even if it’s premature in production. So expect finished ones soon.

A side tangent☝🏼🤓

I love DBS Broly. Designs go hard and are sleek, animation is sick, soundtrack leaves no crumbs, fight choreography is fun. But man the original DBZ movie just has a vibe that cannot be achieved again by DBS and while I do think that’s majorly to do with Toriyama not writing the OG movie, I also just think it’s due to the course DB has taken overall.

I’m glad Toriyama got the chance to write Broly more according to his liking in DBS Broly 2018 but man…the vibe of this film is immaculate. It’s surprising grungy and desolate by DB standards.

The usage of color, imagery, dramatically opposed shots (composition, heights, directions, etc.), and music really make for a good (despite its problems) film that feels thematically, tonally, and weightily different. While you know Goku and Gang are going to make it out alive and all the Roshi/Oolong shenanigans are going on, there is still tension and weight. Broly’s “how much do you love your son” line haunts me in my bored-mid-lecture-thoughts.

As much as I do love Broly in DBS being kinda a tortured sweetheart with a sweet tooth for violence, I find DBZ Broly to be much more compelling. The vibe I got was very much “uncontrollable, wrathful god trapped in a sensitive, underdeveloped emotionally body.” And I feel this is conveyed well in the screentime devoted to the disturbing but valuable time spent between Paragus and Broly whilst in exile from a destroyed Vegetasei. Additionally, having a backstory marred by more corruption than just “well King Vegeta said so” and having on screen attempted infanticide is So. Much. More. Vile.

Broly’s characterization as a deity wolf in Saiyan sheep’s clothing (a fault that is not his) is dangerously appealing. I hate that TFS won out and dominates fandom perception of Broly’s trigger regarding Goku— it makes the whole point of crying being the backdrop to Broly’s early suffering moot for humors sake. 0/10. But if you push past that bs, Broly is SO FASCINATING.

I think another fascinating element of the Legendary Super Saiyan that got lost a little in DBS is Broly’s consciousness. While him going basically non verbal Oozaru mode is still captivating, I think a Broly that jeers, snaps, comments, and berates his opponents creates a more interesting fighting dichotomy. Screaming gets boring after a lil while.

Anyways I just wanted to praise DBZ Broly and gush about some of its facets on a surface level. Maybe I’ll go deeper one day. Oh well. Enjoy the art. Another opinion in the tags below💚🫡

Goku: Good news! Broly is totally off the chain.

Vegeta: YOU MEAN YOU SET HIM FREE?!

Goku: What? No. “Off the chain” means he’s cool.

Vegeta: *sighs in relief*

Goku: And that’s why I set him free!
