Funny part of this is that Broly in the Super movie is essentially written to the modern idea of a sympathetic villain who ends up redeemed. So even *Toriyama* ultimately shifted on this angle.

this is the plot of Resurrection F because goku keeps being like did you see his new form? hes grindsetting. we got freiza on the grindset. while the entire rest of the cast stand next to beerus and yell GOKU HES HITLER PLEASE JUST KILL HIM. this is like 45 minutes of movie

When I was really into fighting games I'd see that in real life all the time at locals. Genuine assholes would be tolerated because they're good at the video game. If you were an asshole and bad at the video game? Nan that's a suspension.

Extremely funny that Vegeta is the one who knows what the fuck is up in that situation since he got press ganged into the Hitler Youth and then he gets punished for doing objectively the correct move to a degree previously only seen when piccolo tries to big brain Super Buu on the Lookout
