    Here Broly

    Considering that the Team Four Star guys adamantly hate Broly and everything the character stands for (well, at least until "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" came out), it's pretty ironic that their Abridged parody of "Broly -- The Legendary Super Saiyan" ranks among their funniest material.

    As with pretty much all of their content, there's some cringey dud jokes and lapses in quality. The fact that there's less reliance on the tired old TFS gags like the "character tries to be funny but gets cut off by the villain" cliche or the painfully worn-down recurring "brick jokes" in favour of more creative, organic attempts at humour makes this one stand out. That, and the fact that they're so self-aware with how they handle Broly in all his poorly-motivated glory.

    Vegeta's egotistical antics as the King of New Planet Vegeta are of course a big highlight. Considering that the way they used to write Vegeta was pretty predictable and unfunny, they've managed to make him an all-time favourite. For the record, though, very little of TFS's work reaches above the 7 or 8/10 margins for me (certain episodes of the Cell Saga and DBZ Kai Abridged being the exceptions), and chances are if you're an avid fan of their work then it's gonna be a no brainer to see this instalment.

    Review

    I thought it was a 10/10 compared to the original movie 6/10.

    You'd be surprised what nostalgia can do.

    Team Four Star didn't just deliver humor. They even explained some things better. Its sad they did not finish the series, I was looking forward to the Buu Saga.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the creator commentary special, Broly is confirmed to have been written as an autistic person. Which is why he is genuinely passive, but snarky and focuses on something he finds interesting (Power Levels). Also why he takes things at face value; such as the incorrect statement that Trunks is female.

      It also makes his hated for Goku align with the diagnosis. As an infant he was subjected to HOURS of Goku crying; which would be utter torture for an infant with autism, as their hearing is much more sensitive. This traumatic memory is only triggered by hearing the name Kakarot (which Paragus likely told him when giving him therapy).

      The Legendary Super Saiyan transformation is the result of Broly snapping after having his trauma triggered too much. He become focused on trying to give Goku great torment to repay him; with his anger and sadism growing worse as he can't sate his desire for revenge.
    • Quotes

      Trunks: Father, just call him Goku!

      Vegeta: And disrespect my heritage? I will address him with the name given to him by the glorious Saiyan race: Kakarot, Kakarot, KAKAROT!
