NEWS: Dragon Ball Super: Broly Movie's Trailer Unveiled at Comic-Con

And that’s where you are wrong. Janemba is the same as Broly, good backstory’s but not very good execution. Cause Broly has a good backstory if you look past that whole crying excuse you people keep focusing on as if that’s the only thing about him. He was born a genetic anomaly, a mutant with unnaturally high-power who was almost murdered as a baby out of jealousy because of his immense power. The murder attempt, his father controlling him, & his obscene power then rendered him insane with his hatred of Goku being his jealousy & anger that such a weak Saiyan was allowed to love compared to him who was almost killed.

It’s a good backstory, the execution is just bad. Same with Janemba, he’s got a good backstory but personality wise he’s just a Buu copycat. He had a lot of potential but they never do anything with him aside from repeating Buu’s gags.

This is a classic overreaching interpretation of Broly's back story. Broly isn't jealous. Broly is just angry. That's literally the only emotion he has, just angry, with a special hate for the baby that drove him nuts in the nursery. He's barely even cognisant of the world around him. He has no personality and his one move in combat is just bulldozing everyone until he's finally stopped.

There's nothing interesting about overcomplicating the Super Saiyan legend with more additions. It's just unnecessary. Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks had already become the legend, showing that Vegeta's recollection of legend was probably flawed. There never needed to be a THE Legendary Super Saiyan, especially not one who barely talks and whose sole motivation is HULK SMASH.

Janemba is a fun villain, at least, because of the visuals of Movie 12 and how they display his abilities. He doesn't talk, either, but you get more character from his malicious mischief than Broly's screaming tank.

Even if Broly was a million times better a character, he's still a bad character, because they kept bringing him back. Villains like Bojack and Hildegarn are disposable, but that's all they aspire to be. The Broly concept aspired to be more, which is what made its repeated failures all the worse. I'd rather have a throwaway villain who stays true to who they are than some deep lore villain who is hyped but isn't interesting at all. This is why Broly fails, because they tried to make something of nothing.

Why remove the sub trailer? some people prefer that. Broly looks dope here. I hate Freiza's dub so bad compared to Linda Young's version.

I am also wondering if its Damian Mills or Christopher Ayres voicing Frieza in the trailer. I know Damian Mills voiced Frieza last in Dragon Ball Fighterz, and they sound so much alike in the role that I can't tell the difference.

Is Vic reprising Broly? It's hard to tell since Broly only screams in the English dub trailer.

It doesn't sound like Vic in the trailer. I just watched the original Broly movies last week dubbed and Vic's screams are very distinct. That doesn't mean he won't voice Broly. It's possible they just couldn't get Vic to come in and do the trailer. I am also wondering if its Damian Mills or Christopher Ayres voicing Frieza in the trailer.
