Man, this is gonna be great! I'm absolutely loving the tone and the look back at the early time periods that it's doing. It makes the fact that Frieza's involved in fighting present-day Broly even better, because that has the potential for some really interesting motivations between the four of them. I'm quite pleased with how this looks to be setting up.

So far Goku seens to have no thematic connection with Broly, which has the danger of leaving him as the guy that just fights Broly just because he showed up on Earth to fight Vegeta (as seen in the first trailer) and by proxy has to beat him.

I mean, it could just be that the hates Kakurot for crying next to him as a baby again. :awesomonster:

Really though, it'll be interesting to see how they decide to stack up the whole set of everyone's motivations and reasoning for them to be opposed / allied in this iteration of events. Especially once you get Frieza's story about obliterating planet Vegeta tied in with the death of Bardock & Gine brought back to the front of everyone's minds, it'll be interesting to see exactly what angle they're taking with Broly and Paragus this time around with them as the main antagonists. Also, with Vegeta, I wonder if we'll get some information about Raditz and Nappa as well (since Raditz was in Dragonball Minus at least and we know that the two of them also survived the planet's destruction even though we won't be seeing them in the main events of the movie, since they're dead by then).

I think that it actually works best to watch the new trailer, and then the first trailer, since the new trailer is mostly contextual flashbacks, whereas the original trailer is almost all present day. I think that it all comes down to what Broly's relationship to the 3 of them are, and it seems like his connection to Goku is the one that they're probably not gonna tease, but just reveal it in the film (if there is any substantial reason beyond threatening Earth and being a strong opponent, since he's still riding the tournament hype train and that's historically been all it's taken for Goku to go all out).

Woah... from 0:59 seems like it's almost certainly the same kind of cel animation that Dragonball FighterZ uses.

I've skimmed some information on it, and it seems pretty interesting. Definitely feels like it's planting some seeds that it'll be able to draw from at a later point to do other cool things, which'd be neat. It's pretty much being applauded across the board for the animation and overall spectacle, which is especially good to hear as well. The movie is gonna one hell of an event!

The movie had its early premiere just hours ago. Legit spoilers are already out in the wild.

In some aspects the movie sounds pretty conservative in its story.
How do we identify the legit spoilers? I'm just seeing a lot of people accusing one another of lying or calling the (admittedly dumb) details stupid.

According to a pamphlet that was distributed at screenings in Japan, Broly's power is linked to his inner Ozaru — which is also why he loses control of himself when using it.

It's super cool that they're addressing stuff with the Saiyans' Ozaru form again, since that seems to be something that isn't really covered that much any more. I really dig the idea of it being reintroduced as the source of the power that makes Broly stronger than any other Saiyan to bring their Ozaru form back into the forefront of everything.
