"He just Beetlejuiced the shit out of Broly" - I've spent the last two years watching reactions to DBZA, and this is the first time I've heard THAT one. It's perfect!

[@Nathdood]

haha right on the third one xD

[@snicklesnockle7263]

8:49 "Your hair looks like lavender but smells like strawberries."

[@robmarsh918]

When Broly says “My power is maximum” is a reference to an article that got published many years ago where kids were asked what superhero they would want to be. A kid drew Broly and wrote “His power is maximum.” Not sure how it gained traction on the internet, but it just became a thing.

[@oingoboingo8]

Vegeta used that line on Namek as well after Zarbon beat him.

I just have to point out how amazing the voice actor of Broly is. Not only is he both versions of Broly, he's also the voice of Kami and Android 16 in DBZA. Such a great range

[@AgeofJP]

"I'm a foot and a half taller than you but whatever..." is one of the greatest voice reveals ever made. Fight me on this if you will, you *won't* convince me otherwise

[@Mikhael_bureau]

The part when Goku and Piccolo charges Broly with epic rock music and then we just hear the slap and grunts is my top 1 scene in DBZA.

[@Skrulzie]

Literally. First time watching I had to replay that scene multiple times because I had to get the laughs out. Lmao

[@lordgenerias]

Paragus saying "You're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior" to Vegeta was a great callback to Vegeta saying thst to Frieza *three times* on Namek. It's quite amusing, for you see, Matt and Chels; you're not dealing with the *average* parody dub group!

[@YukoValis]

9:15 so the guy constantly screaming is Mercenary Tao from dragonball. He was certainly a main antagonist for awhile. Let's just say the robot eyes and head gear are the results of fighting Goku. Which would explain the screaming.

[@RepleteMeat]

I have been trying for ages to find a reaction where someone realises that Nappa is meant to be Jafar. Years of people not mentioning it and finally someone did. Thank you.

[@charismaentertainer1657]

19:44 So fun fact: Broly is quite literally the actual “Legendary super sayain” said in the legend. He is said to be the strongest among all sayains from birth. Funnily freeza missed him. Regardless he can win literally any 1 on 1 fight up to now.

[@lordkai59]

I mean not against the 5 powers of beast, OP, UI, and UE

[@Revanants]

Yep. The part about Goku crying and annoying Broly is exactly why Broly does not like him. That is why TFS kept making the joke "but he's so cool, but that's so dumb'! Don't worry though. They retconned Broly's backstory in the dragonball movie that came out a few years ago and it's 100x better.

[@jasonmarholz2427]

I think the in story explanation is since Baby Goku was in the crib next to Broly when King Vegeta tried to stab Broly. The crying got tied together with the trauma of being stabbed by the King causing Broly to hate Goku and Vegeta (due to his father)

[@She-Devil94]

​@@jasonmarholz2427 That's litterally just from fans trying to make it make any kind of sense^^

[@soulbade-x9709]

I heard that was only in the English Dub, in the Japanese version Broly hating Goku for crying was never a thing. It's pretty vague or even a straight-up mystery why Broly hates Goku. I guess it was up to our interpretation for better or worse.

Trivia: So when Goku says he is starving after Chi-Chi says divorce, in the original Dragonball when they're children Goku is betrothed to Chi-Chi cause he thinks the term marriage is a food.

[@TSNeph]

The Japanese colloquialism for proposal is something like "I'll make you breakfast" or something, the implication being you want to live together and such. That's where the joke comes from, it never really translated into English.

[@brookerickettson4950]

For those that missed the reference from not watching enough TFS, or didn’t put 2n2 together from later in video....Nappa was the last Royal Grand Adviser. He advises the last King to confront Friezia. It went as well as you think.😵 The Jafar reference is intentional to add to the “bad advisor” picture.

[@phibbykaden]

I'm inclined to think that Jafar's hat was also needed in order to hide the fact that Nappa had hair at that point in the timeline, too.

[@procow2274]

For reference nappa power level was 4000

[@haitianview8754]

Really can’t believe how Broly hating Goku for crying was not even a joke in the real movie 😅

[@tracesosebee5485]

One of the things about Broly is that if you watch the actual movie, that is his backstory. Goku cried a lot, tormenting Broly. And Vegeta's reactions in this are mirroring what the fanbase thought. "But... that's really dumb. But he's so cool! But that's so dumb!!!"

[@embran8486]

Technically these movies are not canon, but TFS does their best to make them canon to their abridged by adding things like Cell references.

[@silentassason]

By Kaiser and Lani's own admission the movies are only canon to each other and not the main show. They effectively live within their own universe with it's own version of events regarding the main storyline

@phantom8906 I mean aside from Goku and Gohan not being permanently in ssj, it does kinda fit into the story, but it's one of the only few movies that do, but if they could beat Broly then they shouldn't have any issue with Cell after the beating not only Goku and Gohan get but Trunks and Vegeta should have also gotten a big zenkai boost

[@gogogadgetrectalpunch]

Broly’s backstory is legit.

[@montywh]

17:19 Jafar's occupation in the palace was Grand Vizier, same position Nappa apparently has. so makes sense to have them share the same hat

[@silentassason]

The effect of Broly ripping out of his own body for The Legendary Super Sayian transformation is always so brutal to me 29:28 it's possible without them hitting him with that supercharged punch he could have survived the comet. I mean he did wipe out an entier galaxy within a matter of 5 minutes and took the 5 strongest fighters on earth putting almost all of their energy to beat him

[@ThunderTrovoadas]

Let's see, Krillin, Uub, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi... Guess that's true

[@demonchild327]

The funny part is that they didn’t make up the whole “motivated by a crying infant” thing. Broly is immensely popular solely because of his sheer overwhelming might, but his motivation is beyond stupid and he was severely lacking in anything remotely close to character development or personality. There’s not even an explanation as to why he’s evil either, and there were *three movies* made with this Broly. Thankfully, Toriyama and the rest remade and rewrote Broly to where he is objectively so much better on all fronts (though I wouldn’t recommend watching Dragon Ball Super: Broly until after you’ve watched all of the Dragon Ball Super episodes).

[@DaRkLoRdZoRc]

It was kind of implied that Broly being so fucking strong as a kid made him uncontrollable. That's exactly why King Vegeta was so scared of him: A human child having a tantrum is no threat to their parents. They listen to their parents because of the control - both positive and negative - that their parents exert. If that same child is bulletproof, fireproof, blast-proof, can hurl blobs of explosive plasma basically on command, and is strong enough to pick up and throw a *continent,* the dynamic goes out the window. Being traumatized by getting stabbed in the gut and having his home planet explode all around him probably didn't help either, but Paragus didn't have to get Broly rigged with a mind control tiara until Broly was older, so I'm assuming him becoming evil was a more gradual process than just him suddenly snapping.

[@glenman16]

In the Broly english dub movie when he transforms into the legendary super sayian they play the Pantera song 10s. i remember watching that as a kid and thinking its sick and the song was cool

Nappa like Jaffar is just because they wanted to use the term Royal/Grand Vizier as an advisor to a ruler and Jaffar kinda the most well known (if only) one people immediately think of.

Broly's motivation of hating goku because of crying as babies is barely an exaggeration or joke. That is effectively the explanation that the movie gives.

[@earendilthemariner5546]

Broly is my fav character. Vic is really really good in the actual dub. And he has a lot more lines than "KAKAROT!" "You kakarot, i choose you to be the first of my victims" "Is that another word for coffin?" "Then please, try your best to make me kneel before you" "What? Finished already? So its true. You are all talk and no action. A true piece of trash" "If you all let me kill you before, you wouldnt be dealing with this pain now. You are all a complete and utter waste of saiyan blood" "Poor goku. Still not comfortable with the idea of dying" Dammit. Gotta go watch it again. The rock music, vic's broly. Love it

[@Hawkx10]

So if you remember back when Frieza told Vegeta about how his father had confronted him. King Vegeta called Nappa Grand Councilor Nappa they changed it to Vizier and made the hat more than just something that looked like two window shades (they joked that it was because of movie budget over show budget). The original story was going to be Briley being a fanboy of Goku and gang but they didn’t have enough scenes of regular barley to make that work so they moved the fanboying over to Vegeta. While I can see the similarities in the Titanic explorer being crunched and Broly’s father dying this was made years before that happened. Also from what I’ve heard Broly died because that last punch punctured Broly’s skin and his energy escaped out the hole causing him to explode. Finally, that bit about divorce is Goku only married Chi-Chi in DB because he thought it was a type of food so ofc Goku this time is thinking the same thing that divorce is a type of food.

People saying the plot of broly being g stupid are wrong. Its stated in the bardock movie that a saiyan babies cry can indicate that they're a great warrior, broly had a deep rooted fear of goku since he was a baby. Thats all it was, its kinda interesting on the psychology of saiyans

[@Jetflash6999]

Yes, the people on the submarine would have died much more quickly- they probably never had time to realize anything was wrong. All the people Goku mentions asking about South Galaxy being destroyed (except Cell, of course) are his enemies from each arc of Dragonball. The reason he explicitly calls Pilaf a “monster” is possibly because Pilaf is the only one he didn’t get closure with. All the others are now either his friends/allies (Piccolo and Tenshinhan/Tien) or someone Goku fought directly and defeated definitively (Mercenary Tao). Pilaf, after having his wish on the dragonballs stolen by Oolong, just sorta left. As far as Goku knows, Pilaf could still be out there trying to gather the dragonballs again and wish for world domination. He’s not, to be clear (at least, I think so), but he could be!

[@sonv1228]

You know, some people think Broly being traumatized by Goku's crying is a TFS invention, but it's really not? This is the exact lesson I got from the movie even when I was 14 and watching this for the first time, no one told me, there was no TFS around to influence me, and I couldn't even understand english back then even if there was. It really is just that, or the movie purposefully lets you believe that. Let's be real, the reason is just that in the DB universe, especially in every DB and DBZ production, almost everything has to revolve around or be about Goku constantly, at all costs. And I think this movie is the weirdest example of that. (But if I had to look a little deeper, as it is my bad habit, I'd say it's first and foremost about Broly being conceptually closer to a force of nature than a real character. He doesn't have a reason to be the way he is, he's generally neutral and passive, and his wrath doesn't have a clear origin or an objective. The movie is about putting all these otherwise very powerful saiyans, Goku in particular, against the "pinnacle of Saiyan" as a force of natural disaster. That being said he's barely a character and in my humble opinion was conceptually more peculiar when that was everything he was. The new movie where they retcon his character is still cool though. I wouldn't necessarily trade either of these stories for each other. They're just different versions of the same guy.)

Despite what most comments are going to be saying, Broly does NOT hate Goku because he cried as a baby. That's just a fandom meme that everyone now takes as gospel thanks to TFS, lack of media literacy for the actual movie, and Broly's flanderization in a lot of video games.
