That's why it should've ended after Cell. It started getting real stupid during the Buu stuff with all of the transformations and fusions and shite.

then they came out with the theory that the reason it took Vegeta so long to go SS is because he had too much pride and that was all he was fighting for.

He was only able to go SS when he was fighting for others and was able to step his pride back a notch. This is why they claim half-breed and quarter-breed saiyans have an easier time becoming SS than full-blooded saiyans because Saiyans only really fought for themselves.

I want to know how the hell Goten got so strong being trained only by Chi-Chi, though. I can understand Trunks becoming strong training constantly under Vegeta, but come on fricking Goten.

Goku trained under Master Roshi, Popo, King Kai, etc and after all that was barely half of Vegeta's power, but Chi-Chi is able to train Goten to be a match for Gohan and unlock his SS power?

The theory I have heard is that the reason Goten went SSJ so fast is because Goku was a FPSSJ when he tapped that arse. So, naturally Goten was born quite a bit more powerful than Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta.

And it took Trunks a year longer than Goten to become a SSJ because Vegeta, while still incredibly powerful, wasn't a SSJ yet.

that explanation doesn't explain why Goku's power level was so damn low compared to other saiyans when he was born considering Bardock was the second strongest Saiyan at the time. Or why Broly, who was born with a power level of 10,000 was born to some weasely guy.

Bardock's power skyrocketed after Goku was born. It wasn't over 10,000 until right before he fought Dedoria.

And Broly was the Legendary SSJ, so that might explain that.

Remember, trying to connect the movies to the regular series is damn near impossible and usually you should just disregard the movies when it comes to certain aspects of the series.

Or as Vegeta would say: This is so non-canon it hurts

It's so true as well.

One of the most obvious mistakes in a movie is in Cooler's Revenge. It obviously takes place during the 10 days before the Cell Games. It has to be right after the hyperbolic time-chamber, because Dende is guardian of Earth. Yet, Gohan and Goku are not in their Full-Power SSJ forms and Gohan still has his long hair.

To be honest, I have only seen 5 DBZ movies:
Lord Slug
Dead Zone
Tree of Might
Broly: The Legendary Saiyan
Bardock: Father of Goku

I cannot wait for the TFS versions of all the movies . If they can make Dead Zone good, then they deserve a medal.

NOBODY RAPES CHRISTMAS



I think one of my favorite lines was in Tree of Might when Piccolo references the Soulja song....so out of the blue and yet so appropriate.


"Bitch, you look like Goku."

You know they had to work that in SOMEWHERE

I also recommend Episode of Bardock. It isn't done by Akira Toriyama, but the illustrator/story writer has his support. It's only in Japanese, but the movie actually ties the Bardock-Frieza story together very nicely. It also explains how Frieza knows about the Super Saiyans.

Nah, you're thinking of Bardock: Father of Goku, circa 1990 (I know you quoted DBZ abridged).

Episode of Bardock was created in 2009.

Huh

Figured the DBZ movie pretty much covered that backstory.

Did not explain how Frieza knew about the Super Saiyan. Turns out, instead of Frieza's blast killing Bardock, it sent him back in time where he faced Frieza's ancestor. Bardock turned into a Super Saiyan and Frieza's ancestor was the one who warned Frieza's family to watch out for the Super Saiyan. It's actually pretty good and ties in with the series quite nicely.
