I went and saw Super Hero earlier. 9/10 rating.

This was a really enjoyable movie to watch.
The good: Piccolo getting the most screen time was good. Vegeta winning the sparring match against Goku put a smile on my face. Goku and Vegeta being side characters in this. Beerus simping for Broly's woman is lol worthy. Good thing Broly didn't catch on. Piccolo popping up with that new form gave me 97/98 Kane vibes. Gohan's new form and that special beam cannon. Trunks and Goten getting some screen time. Bulma's ass.

The could have been better: It was cool to see Cell back in some form, but he should've been in his perfect form. Also he should've talked and they could've downloaded the Cell games fight into him so he could really have a motivation to kill Gohan. Cell talking trash to Gohan would have made it better. Actual teen Gotenks not being shown at the end when Pan flies around. Why not show him? Bulma using the dragon balls for selfish reasons with no consequences. This right here really makes me wish GT gets canonized for the Shadow Dragon arc, or remake the arc.
GT had a lot of issues but there being a consequence for people abusing the Dragonballs wasn't one of them. Even this latest Super arc shows that people don't respect the power they're playing with.

Not that I think about it, I do kind of have one other fairly big (but meta) criticism of the movie.

Even though I like it, I do feel like they're kind of recycling old villains and plot points a little TOO much. Nostalgia is cool, but there's a limit.


You have the son of an old villain (Magenta) hiring the grandson of an old villain (Dr. Hedo) to recreate an old villain (Cell). And then you have another Gohan vs. Cell fight with a transformation and costume that looks very similar to SSJ2. Even the last two movies were them just bringing back old villains (Broly and Frieza). And even in the manga they're bringing back Frieza again. They haven't really had an ORIGINAL antagonist since Beerus. There's nothing inherently wrong with bringing back old villains but they're getting close to the point where they're overplaying the nostalgia card.


Next movie I really hope they come up with an actual NEW villain, I don't want them to just revamp Cooler or something.

Also, Gotenks and Buu are the most useless characters ever. Buu especially, at least Gotenks tries. This clown Buu is always asleep when it matters.

Read the manga if you want new villains

Nah. Buu a certified goon. He's kinda OP.
Gave Moro the easy work. Buu is kinda like Beerus-lite in the sense that he would solve a lot of problems if he were more active.

He didn't whip nobody ass, he got the upper hand for an extremely short amount of time and then folded. He didn't win shyt and definitely not alone. Like I said in my original post, Universe 7 won as a collaboration against Jiren.

They might as well say McGregor whupped Mayweathers ass cause he tagged him a few times and made him eat an uppercut. Jiren was comfortably dogwalking Goku until the plot demanded he hit MUI, and then his stamina ran out and damn near had a heart attack again :camby:
