[@deazy6453]

The biggest benefit if the movies is that most of them relate directly to the plot at the time

[@TheShockVox]

Machis Malone but TFS also said they aren’t canon to their main episodes.

[@nebbia2453]

Toriyama confirmed that some movies are part of an alternate timeline

[@LitchiBoba]

To clear things up, Funimation does not have any ownership of Dragon Ball, they have the rights to dub the series. Toei owns DB, and they are the ones that copyright strike TFS.

[@justasimplepickaxe3056]

Wait if this video was realeased two days ago...? How the hell?

It was illegal for them to copyright strike them though since TFS is protected by the parody disclaimer.

[@sleepykami6566]

The studios actually hated TeamFourStar and the abridged series. They threatened lawsuit several times, spoken out that they didnt approve, but TFS was protected by the disclaimer they always put at the beginning

[@ILikeCHEEZ9]

yea the peeps who like tfs are the ones that work with them with voice acting which gives tfs more credibility and protection

[@Shadowdragon1143]

Oh that was sad ....tfs did a great job ....

[@FireFox2590]

They also took down their videos anyway several times despite it. Breaking the law in the process, even if TFS didn't press charges since that would be a long drawn out legal battle designed to be expensive so they wouldn't pursue it.

[@kagato23]

then they actually had them guest star in an episode. The studio hated them. The writers adored them

[@emanuelmartinez7267]

@@kagato23 if I remember correctly it was Toei that had an issue since they own the property and trademark. Funimation only do the Dubs and they were actually friendly with TFS

[@Mrryn]

13:22 Close, Mickey. It's actually Claptrap from Borderlands.

[@ccricers]

It's the same voice actor too, though you may not realize it from the credits because he used a pseudonym.

[@razoredgecutters]

Oh damn, I was just about to comment it sounds so much like Claptrap - that's awesome :]

[@Serasoftheshire]

That’s what I was gonna say

[@burk314]

They don't update the "Krillin owned" count in the movies, only the numbered episodes.

[@AlunethMaster]

"Kill the bald one" "Frieza did it" best for me xD

[@IcyDragonPolaris]

23:40 and now you understand why everyone was warning you about the first few episodes.

[@Drako2k0]

13:40 not fallout, combination reference. the voice was CL4P-TP or Claptrap from "Borderlands", and calling them "meatbags" is a reference of HK-47 from "Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic"

[@EditDeath]

The baby Namekian is a random ass reference to the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey. There is literally no reason plotwise for it to be there, TFS just wanted to use it.

[@CrashBandicootFan100]

Adore how TFS used the Regis MK-V ost from Megas XLR. Regis is a self replicating robot, so its perfect. Song is Megas XLR OST - Damnation.

[@SpaghettiElie]

Megas XLR was that fuckin show man And Xialon Showdown

[@phibbykaden]

YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR THE INVINCIBLE COOLER MK. II. ...Sorry, just felt it had to be said. ()^_^

[@VivekMathai13v]

I wish Krillin would have replaced his Space Duck "quack" from Old namek, with "Beep" to try to evade these robots.

[@TheeKorovaMilkBar]

On the next Normies reaction: "Broly was a motherf**ker! Stronger than that robot trucker! Broly's enemies are done! BROLY POWER *MAXIMUM!!!!!* "

[@Mr_Momus]

Claptrap (CL4P-TP), Micky, from Borderlands. The robot sounds like Claptrap.

[@masamune2984]

It doesn’t just sound like Claptrap, it IS Claptrap. 🙂 Same VA (for anyone that didn’t know.)

[@gaaraofthefunk2011]

yea, I was about to comment it but i was also sure that somebody must've played those games.

The fact that they got the Voice actor for Claptrap in this is so dope

That Broly reaction about to go hard

[@1CloudLightning]

I remember seeing this for the first time at the con TFS debuted this at and hoo boi! The entire venue was roaring with laughter 80% of the time XDD

Love the Scrubs music when Goku "learns a lesson" at the end

[@idothings5384]

“It’s kriller time” was the last thing my friend’s phone seen before dying and not turning back on again

[@Gunsblazin94]

Damn, I was hoping they'd recognize Claptrap's voice actor

[@alyxxpratt678]

same here. i guess they haven't played borderlands

[@quiz3417]

Shit I'm still waiting for the Broly one... abridged vegeta 👌

[@FLStyle]

That's super weird that Kami was in Piccolo's head this Abridged episode, that would mean he's stronger than Goku and Vegeta who haven't been in the time chamber yet, I think that's a mistake on Team Four Star's part. I always assumed that this took place at the end of 3 years training just before the androids showed up.

[@ryuhouchiha]

no. i don't remember the cannon context. but for this they are going to visit dende. who was shown to already be on earth as the new kami. the only needed dende because piccolo fused with kami

[@FLStyle]

@@ryuhouchiha So Team Four Star moved this movie forward in the DBZA timeline?

[@tsnoob4669]

@@FLStyle They haven't, apparently this takes place after the cell games was announced

[@ryuhouchiha]

@@FLStyle i don't know. I barely remember this movie so watching the DBZA was a refresher. It is possible that they moved it to fit their narrative. But i think part of the joke in their movies is that they are putting it in the correct timeline to show how impracticable all these things happening was in relation to the show.

[@Lightning_Lance]

@@ryuhouchiha it doesn't really work because they also show Goku popping off to get Dende in the show.

"The Normies - we're still here." Put that on a t-shirt.

[@TheArtSozosha]

fun fact: co-founder & main editor of DBZA, Scott "Kaiserneko" Frerichs, said during his video breakdown of "The Return Of Cooler", " *FUCK THIS MOVIE. FUCK THIS MOVIE, FUCK THIS MOVIE, FUCK THIS MOVIE, FUCK THIS MOVIE.* "

[@VivekMathai13v]

You guys should watch the Broly movie (the old one - pre SSB) - has some absolutely hilarious Vegeta lines.

[@tubtubsablubblubs3996]

FUCK they didn’t catch that it was ClapTrap’s voice... and said it was from Fallout....

[@kuribayashi84]

I know I'm two years late, but the bit during the End Credits with Baby Piccolo and him flying through a corridor of light is basically a big reference to the ending scenes of the 1968-Sci-Fi-Classic "2001: A Space Odyssey"

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Goku melted brains with his last comment here

[@Robo34]

Thx for the tree episodes :)

[@Thundernoob98]

I believe that without TFS there wouldn’t have been Super

[@sparknazo]

I wouldn't say that but super diagloue at times feels very tfs which i think they took from them

[@DavidSonofDavid]

That moment you realize none of them have played Borderlands

[@rockguy8362]

If I may make a suggestion. When you guys edit make sure to get the original audio to the footage so you can mix them nice.

[@youngbricksyg266]

I'm pretty sure voice actor for the robot that Yajarobi punches, is the same guy that voices claptrap in Borderlands. If it isn't then I'd be surprised because it's the exact same voice

[@BigSteve1997]

Poor Claptrap No one recognized his voice

[@seeminglyawesomeanimations6920]

Did...did I miss this one? I’ve been premium on patreon for the past year and a few months and I don’t remember this one at all

[@NoArmsSally]

This seems more recent because they're not together in the same room.

[@105582]

They don't watch the movies in order

[@ericrosario5028]

Uhhhh y’all probably know this by now but Toei did not give a fuck about how popular DBZA was they kept trying to strike it and take it down and remove their channel on many occasions and that also led to them not wanting to do it anymore on top of many other things

[@jtherealmccoy5309]

That was Claptrap from Borderlands, the little robot

[@latravieonwalton4117]

I just don't like the fact that they're not reacting to the movies from sequential order. 🤦🏽‍♂️ They should've reacted to DBZA the way Blind Wave did.

There are no dings for krillin in the abridged movies I’m afraid

[@ethannicholson4482]

The robot is claptrap from borderlands

[@JoseLopez-vp8vu]

I’m the movies have different power scaling but picolo should be the strongest z fighter at this point right?

[@_gk_4633]

Tfs wise, he should be, because it seems this is before Piccolo and 17 fight, but Dende being there doesn't fit since Gohan was already a Super Saiyan and had shorter hair before Goku stole Dende. Having Dende be on Earth messed it up, no matter what, they couldn't have fixed it with Dende being on Earth because Gohan would technically be the strongest even in SSJ vs Goku SSJ, Vegeta and Goku would still be stronger than Cooler due to hyperbolic and Trunks would have possible been there or mentioned as well as the Cell Games happening soon if Dende was the new Kami.

[@thezx5795]

Are you guys ever going to react to the Naruto movies?

Did u watch bojack/jenemba/broly return and super broly movies

[@theavatar9191]

As a Dragon Ball fan, hearing people say this is the best or only way to consume Dragon Ball content is so hurtful... Especially since there are so many people with this opinion now.

[@pv1612]

The Avatar The team themselves literally say to support the original release, people saying it’s the only way are just taking things to extremes However, the writing is better, but that’s partially because they don’t have the same constraints that Toriyama had, they don’t constantly have to change around the story because their editor disliked a design.

[@theavatar9191]

@@pv1612 The writing isn't better. I really only see people who haven't actually read or watch Dragon Ball say this. These guys are prime examples. People who caught episodes when they were younger and vaguely remember things here and there, but aren't actual fans who've re-watched it since. They don't recall the plot line, character moments, dialogue, the tone, themes or even the music. How can you critique a series that you know nothing about? Dragon Ball Z Abridged is a great Abridged series, but it's not better than the actual story. At all.

[@DmDaPDm]

​@@theavatar9191 As a dragonball fan, I can say its not hurtful at all unless you're too sensitive in general. I dont think anyone thinks its better, but people mature in taste, and for some people the way its been adapted is better. Some people think the anime doesn't do the manga justice. At the end of the day its an adaption of the original story in manga format. So if someone prefers this then there is no issue, and as long as people keep loving dragonball, then it will never die. Thats what you should focus on.

[@daemonspade8316]

I've read Dragonball and yea this is better.

[@theavatar9191]

@@DmDaPDm But this isn't Dragon Ball in my eyes. This is a fan made Abridged series, which I happen to really enjoy. It started crossing the line of being an "adaptation" during the Android Saga, and that's where my problem lies. People take this series as canon and therefore we have so many "fans" of Dragon Ball who misunderstand all of the characters and don't even remember the actual story.

Easily the worst dbza movie

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Hard disagree, I think it's easily one of the funniest. My pick for worst is either Dead Zone or the first Cooler movie. EDIT: I'll revise, it is definitely funnier when you've seen the original movie (it doesn't seem like they had for the most part). Then you appreciate just how hard TFS takes the piss out of how stupid it is.

[@xTrinity007]

My least favorite was the Lord Slug one

[@seamusburke639]

Nuh uh. "Broly: Second Coming" is the worst one. And possibly the Bardock Special (the one with Chilled). "Bio Broly" isn't much better, but at least it has 18 and Mr. Satan to add some variety. Sheesh, "Second Coming" even just re-uses Broly's LSS transformation from the first movie! They just barely cut out the parts where he breaks his restraints so you wouldn't notice.

[@hesani_ceman]

@@seamusburke639 think they were talking about the tfs versions
