"Dragon Ball Super: Broly": a more simple fairy fight
Movie-watching records = Empty words
In "Dragon Ball Super: Broly", Goku and others ushered in the seventh universe super Saiyan - the demon-level Saiyan, Broly. The characteristic of demon-level Saiyans is that in the case of humanoids, they can exert the combat power of giant apes without transforming into giant apes, which also means that their abilities will be out of control and cause huge damage. Broly's name comes from the English word for broccoli, and when he transforms into a demon form, his hair will turn green, which looks like Broly in demon form and broccoli. If Broly is a runaway "broccoli", then Kakarot should be a runaway "carrot". This is the showdown between the two vegetables - Dragon Ball maintains its usual bad taste.
In terms of plot, "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" also maintains the characteristics of the Dragon Ball series: inclusive and characteristic transformation. After watching "Dragon Ball Super: Broly", many viewers will find that its plot is very similar to "Superman: Man of Steel". There are roughly two parts to the plot, the first half is about the origin, and the second half is about "fairy" fights. The first half of "Superman: Man of Steel" is about the destruction of Superman's home planet (Krypton), and the second half is about the destruction of several Kryptonians (mainly Superman Karl-El and Drew Zod) on Earth. war. The first half of "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" is about the destruction of the Saiyan home planet (Vegeta Planet), and the second half is the showdown of several Saiyans on Earth. What "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" did is to transform "Superman: Man of Steel" into a more "simple".
Like many American comics, "Superman: Man of Steel" needs to reflect an ideology that is close to reality. Therefore, we will see that Krypton is destroyed in a complex social environment, and General Zod is a more radical politician. As an alien immigrant, Superman assumes conflicting identities. Although the second half adopts the method of fighting with gods, it is difficult to tell clearly, the villain is completely wrong and must die. Some film critics felt that the second half of Man of Steel was too violent. The director believes that the reason why there are so many scenes of violence and destruction is to show the mythical feeling of "fighting gods". Therefore, even what ideological value should be attached to the "fight of the gods" is still under debate.
Compared with the complex ideological conflict of "Superman: Man of Steel", "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" is more "simple". The Saiyan planet, Planet Vegeta, was destroyed because the villain (Friza) was evil. What makes Broly's story more tragic is the narrowness of the patriarchal role he encountered. Broly's mentality is "simple": for company. The fairy fight scene in the second half is very simple. To this end, the battlefield is set in Antarctica, so there is no need to worry about a large number of civilian casualties. The goal of the battle is very "simple": the two sides are only to become stronger, to defeat each other. Bad guys don't blackmail the common people and force good guys to make moral choices. Even Frieza, the bad guy, kills only to release his power.
Goku (Kakarot), as the first protagonist, is the pure representative of Dragon Ball. In order to defeat Broly, Goku must "fit" with Vegeta. To merge into a more powerful Saiyan, the movements of the two must be symmetrical. Vegeta felt too embarrassed about things like "merging", she might as well just die. Wukong just sees "merging" as a very simple thing.
However, in the end, the apparent simplicity will also be loaded with ideology. The pure pursuit of power in the Dragon Ball series is also an ideology. However, if you are simply interested in its bad taste, it is estimated that this aspect will be ignored.
