>>7058333THIS. This so much. As someone who watched Dragon Ball in the proper order and was a fan of the show a good while before it started gaining popularity in the States, I never understood the huge boner most Americans seem to have with the character. Broly always seemed like a shit character to me, even as a kid.
>>7058386>it's usually the shit fans that simplify the already barebones details to 'mad at crying' thing.There's no simplification in that. Not only that's the most stupid part, it's also the whole origin of the character "motivations" (can you even call that a motivation?) and the ACTUAL REASON Paragus had to keep his power and rage in check with the device.
Also
>Mindbroken.Don't try to make it sound more mature/edgier than it was, mind-controled characters like Broly are seen everywhere in manga for kids. You can't really call that "mindbroken".
