In the games it does even if the GT hate is way overboard. Even Akira praised SSJ4 when he saw it. Though a shame he couldn't make SSJG look anywhere as cool as SSJ4, instead he opted for a rehashed Kiao-ken when it could have looked amazing.
The games also gave us cool thing like SSJ3 Brolly, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Gogeta. |

Goku also defeated Broly when he was rampaging in Hell after movie 11 with just Paikuhan as his back up and with just SSJ2. |

There was no way Goku could've used SSJ3 at the end of movie 11. He tells Janenba in the following movie that he and Buu are the only opponents to have ever forced him to use that form. Plus SSJ3 had barely debuted in either the anime or the manga by the time of movie 11's conception. |

Akira and Fans still like SSJ4. Another thing is that nothing SSJG was shown to do even comes close to what SSJ4 Gogeta was able to do. That and the movie has already established that SSJG Goku was not even strong enough for Bills to even get near his full power and than Wiess was established as being much stronger than Bills anyway. |

It's not bitterness. You said you wanted SSJ4 Gogeta vs Whis (or however his name is going to be romanized). In an anime topic, the implication is that you want it animated. That cannot happen, as SSJ4 does not exist in this continuity. If you want to argue games, then fine, specify that. Don't go on a mad tirade because you didn't specify what you meant.

Paragus and Bojack appear among the horde from Hell in movie 12, so it acknowledges the other movies. My point was that Toei only works with what they got, and since SSJ3 hadn't appeared yet in either medium the max Goku could've used to beat Broly at the time was SSJ2. |

I don't consider Broly or any of the movies until this new one canon and definitely not GT.
SSJ4 and the Golden Oozaru were probably the only cool ideas from GT. I also like the idea of the dragonballs being a central element in the final saga, but I think the way they did it was stupid. Ideally, I'd like the mechanics of the dragonballs to be explained and what force controls the dragon, etc (one of the higher up gods in Bills's pantheon would have fit nicely). To be honest, I have trouble even considering this new movie canon, even though Toriyama made it, it just doesn't feel like it's a part of the old canon. Might be my nostalgia goggles, but I dunno. I haven't seen it yet, but the plot just doesn't seem as fun or cool as old school sagas. The only part I kind of liked was Vegeta getting a temporary super blow (which I always thought should have happened during the Cell battle when Future Trunks was killed.) |

It wasn't a part of the original canon which is the DBZ Manga. Anything after was made up after the product was long since finished. So if you're a real canon buff you would deny anything and everything that wasn't in the original Manga publishing. Especially considering that Akira has changed his mind a few times.
If GT was well received, for example, you know he wouldn't be denying it as canon. Since it wasn't he washed his hands of it even though he likes SSJ4 and is instead making these movies now. The Bills movie is "Okay" but it isn't great and it was more Goku Time than GT ever was. At the very least it's far better than the Tarble Movie which was just downright horrible and felt like one huge joke. Quote:
Don't be throwing a hissy fit every time someone brings up anything about GT. SSJG Goku is pathetic as he cannot even match 50% of Bills power, SSJ4 Gogeta so far is the only one that is shown, through GT, as being strong enough to actually beat Bills and Wiess due to his exploits. And actually you can. Omega Sheron is a literal God, he was made a fool out of by SSJ4 Gogeta. Bills is a literal God, he made a fool out of SSJG Goku and than was made a fool out of by Wiess. Thus the ultimate fight the fans of the franchise look forward to in the games will be SSJ4 Gogeta vs Wiess as they're established as the strongest in their respective eras with Wiess's true power not even shown yet as he required little effort to defeat Bills. |

And again, there's no frame of reference. You're just throwing out terms like "godlike" and hoping they'll stick to keep your argument coherent. For your reference, Vegito was stated in the GT anime comics to be on par with SSJ4 Goku. Not even Super Vegito, mind you, just normal Vegito. Then, you can add in that Goku supposedly said he'd never felt the kind of power he had as a SSJG before, meaning it could theoretically be stronger than Super Vegito. Besides, I don't see how you can say Whis > Bills > SSJG Goku, and SSJ4 Gogeta > Omega Shenron, thus SSJ4 Gogeta > Whis. There's no logical connection there. You can say Omega Shenron is a "literal god", but he isn't. In fact, this movie outright confirms he isn't, as he doesn't have god ki. I'm also pretty sure that in GT he's just the embodiment of the negative energy from wishes, which has nothing to do with gods at all. Quote:
Also, there's a decent chance you may never get that fight, since it seems the developers have been leaving GT stuff out of non-DB Heroes games lately. It doesn't seem like they'll be in "Battle of Z" or whatever that upcoming game is either. |

Just finished watching the movie and felt like posting my thoughts as it pertains to the new god form and some of the discussions going on in this thread.
Spoiler for movie:
Overall, I liked the movie. Definitely was a change of pace from all the previous ones. The main antagonist came off as threatening without feeling very threatening (I know that makes no sense. lol) Overall, it was probably the most light hearted DBZ movie I've seen yet. It had plenty of comical moments and a main antagonist that didn't really feel like a bad guy per say. Bills was just an interesting cat. (pun intended). Yes, he toyed around with the idea of blowing up earth a few times, but for reasons that were so childish, that it was almost difficult to consider him evil for it--just extremely immature.

Movie was incredibly fun. Great art, beautiful animation and funny comedy bits - speaking of which, Toriyama's touch was definitely felt through the humor style and character interactions. Vegeta and Pilaf's crew stole a few scenes, and Bills is much more likeable than the average, fillerish movie villain.
Anyway, this was obviously intended to open new possibilities expanding the DB world, so i can't wait for more Dragonball. Spoiler:

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the movie. When I originally read the plot, it didn't seem to have that "epic" feel of your usual Dragonball Z conflict. You can even see my above comments referring to how it doesn't feel like a part of the main canon... and it's true, after watching it, this feels completely different from what preceded it "chronologically, in-universe."
I was correct in saying so. This definitely wasn't the same type of enjoyment you get watching the Cell saga, for instance. I would say this is very similar in tone and feeling to the early seasons of Dragonball when Goku was still a kid. To be honest, it might even be more lighthearted than that, if possible - this was definitely more lighthearted even than the Tienshinhan and King Piccolo arcs of Dragonball. It's got the stylings and look of your intense DBZ fights, with the carefree, humorous execution of very early Dragonball. Now personally, I'm more of an epic DBZ guy... the plot here is not as intense or 'cool' as usual. Since it's a movie, we obviously don't have the time to gradually build up the villains as much as the anime villains, either. Despite that, the fight scenes were top notch, as always, and I really enjoyed the humor. One of my favorite funny parts is when Trunks lies and says Mai is his girlfriend So yeah, would I have preferred a Frieza/Cell type atmosphere and conflict? Yes, but I still thoroughly enjoyed what we got. I'm game for more, as seems to be the intention. |

Only thing I truly hated was when Bills and Goku fought in the desert/mountains, the CG was so glaringly obvious and bad.
Oh, and I don't like the fact that, if this movie is truly supposed to be canon, they basically made the Tarble (Yo Son Goku) special canon as well. Last edited by GDB; 2013-09-14 at 20:12. |

The movie felt like a make up for how boring was the Buu arc.
Spoiler for reason:
I read in the manga version of Yo Son Goku that not even Toriyama liked that OVA. Last edited by Daniel E.; 2013-09-15 at 09:12. |
