Fair warning: i watched this with my girlfriend in the OG japanese without subs and i know NOTHING about dragon ball, i just wanted to spend time with her and she LOVES dragon ball
Also, spoilers.
Aight so first piccolo being a loveable grandpa to pan was so frickin cute, and that kid can kick ass, holy lord, what an excellent teacher he makes. RIP to carmine and the John cena-looking RR guy lol pan wrecked their asses
Piccolo also looks damn good in RR uniform, đź‘Ś nice
When Gamma 2 comes in and they wreck his [piccolo's] brooding mountain, which was like bro. Where are you
...
gonna sit and brood now, you destroyed it. You gonna sit on the ground like a normie now?
Gamma 2 is also such a nut, i love him. And then he does the "goofy character sacrifices themselves for the greater good" trope and gets thanos snapped for it and just. Damn. What a good boy. What a funky lil man. Treasured bastard. I love him.
magenta having an oreo dispenser in his car is what i hope the future looks like. I dont even have a car and im jealous. He also only smokes like half his cigars before lighting new ones, cmon bro.
its nice that they showed what goku and vegeta were doing to explain why they werent there, and why no one could reach them. Just dudes being bros, fighting each other on an alien planet for the enjoyment of a cat god. Yknow. Normal dragon ball stuff. I like that they followed piccolo and gohan more than goku and vegeta in this, it feels like a nice break. Made it more of a father/son bonding movie than a "shoot 'em up, all action all the time, raaaaah lasers" movie yknow. Thats nice.
The new transformations are kinda okay - piccolo got "handsome squidward-ed" and gohan kinda looks like dr stone mixed with an artichoke. Though im told thats just normal dragon ball stuff? I dont really get the point of the big boss being cell (but not really? Still confused) but like. Angry. Hes also HUGE which im not sure if thats new, or...? Why tf was RR trynna bring him back anyway? Make a new villain or something. Be creative.
Again, we watched without subs so im missing TONS of context and knowledge bc I know nothing about this series lol. Fight scenes were okay, lots of flying around and shooting and yelling. Im told this is also just normal dragon ball stuff. The vid we watched was one of those 'sneaky phone videos in the theatre' so im sure the music was great but we couldnt hear it.
Neat movie. Gonna watch it again later when subs come out so i understand whats going on.
