They only know Goku as Kakorot so they didn't want to trigger Broly.

I was wondering how they would play Brolly lol
It was great.
I imagine the editing took a few extra passes and they though this was better than missing xmas. I bet we see part 2 by NewYear.

The original English dub made up shit about Goku's father being a scientist who invented the fake moon technique that Vegeta used in the Saiyan saga.

Isn't he also a scientist in DB Minus?

A brilliant one, but an average fighter.

One thing a will knock against Broly part 1 is that they're non-original animation inserts are really distracting and I wish they didn't linger on them so much.

Oh snap, didn't know there was a thread for this. What's everyone think of the whole "part 1" thing with the movie? Do you want TFS to do it with other movies?

I would prefer if they didn't.

I didn't realize how much fat they cut from the movie. They completely skip Broly fighting Goku at night.
It's pretty much a mix of wanting to do this for Christmas and not having enough time as well as this movie being longer than the others.

Pretty much my thought on this. I don't expect them to do it again, especially since none of the other movies (except maybe Battle of Gods and Return of F) are as long as this one.
Oh get lost with that crap. It's ok to be disapointed at things. Get some spine.
They only did this because they promised Broly on Christmas
It's clear they couldn't finish the whole thing in time so they only released part 1.

Line of the movie, so far, for me.

This was great. Way better than that crappy World's Strongest vid (the second one).
As usual, Vegeta steals the show.
- "I came here for a banquet and I find out it's a potluck, YOU CHEAP F*UCKS!"
Goku brought in the goods as well, as expected.
"Was it non-fat? Diet? Freezer with an 'i' "?
Shame that this was only a partial vid. Looking forward to the next one. Though, they really need to stop with the shitty original animation stuff. It's ugly and distracting.
Also, what did Vegeta say at 7:30? I couldn't make it out.

TFS don't owe anyone shit, especially considering nobody pays for the hours upon hours they put into making episodes. Walk it off, breh, run some cold water over your head and try to remember you're an adult.
Ah, thanks.
edit: I know what a beta male is, dang it. I just couldn't understand him clearly lol
Because of copyright stuff, they cannot monetize any videos on their main channel, so those 2.3 million subs generate exactly $0 for them. Their only income comes from their Patreon and gaming channel.

Not entirely correct. The videos on the channel that aren't DBZA are monetized. The music videos, pod casts, this villain week etc. They're not pulling in the millions that the main videos are, but 300k-1mil on a video is nothing to laugh at. That's on top of merch, patron, and tfs gaming. I mean that's what that video was about last year. They were making enough for this to be considered a full time job. I'd assume that meant 30-50k per person, per year.
That's why they've been doing so many music videos of late, and why they haven't had actual footage in them, in contrast to the first one they did so many years ago. They want more things to monetize on the channel. Nothing wrong with that.
Sounds like the TFS crew sold out.
Hell, can you blame them for trying to make some extra scratch? Considering the work they put in I'd say they deserve it.
So when you said nobody pays them, you meant people pay them $13,000 a month then.
I never said that nobody pays them, you're confusing me with the other guy. But when you take $13,000 and divide it among their core members (not including PR/gaming channel managers and guest voice actors), then yeah they don't really earn anything for themselves- plus, that money probably barely covers rent for their small office, costs to fly in other actors, host panels at various conventions, and manage unexpected costs (back up hard drives for example- those really come in handy!).
There's really no way for TFS to earn a profit on Dragonball Z Abridged, and since people keep pestering them about not putting out episodes often enough, they're going through the effort of setting up a proper studio and creating sources of revenue (Patreon, Gaming, non-DBZA videos) to cover those high costs. And then we get entitled idiots running around, calling them sellouts and wanting an episode every other week for no cost. There's really no way to keep everyone happy, but they are doing very well with the cards that they have been dealt.
That's the number listed but Patreon is incredibly unreliable-lots of people apparently stay supporters until the end of the month (when they get billed) and then stop supporting before they have to actually pay anything, so they get all of the benefits for none of the cost. Several other content creators that I follow (FamilyJules, ToxicXEternity, CohhCarnage, Game Grumps, etc.) who have used patreon have mentioned this at one point or another, and most of them have stopped using Patreon because of it. It's unreliable, but when you can't directly monetize your work, then you kinda have to risk it.

I think we won't have to wait long for part 2. I don't think they'd take their usual time off around this time before they finished it. My guess is it'll come out New Years Eve/Day.
I just didn't like the execution of their Wheelo characterisation. I ended up bouncing off the whole thing as a result. Dead Zone on the other hand was definitely my thing.

Whatever they were going for with Dr. Wheelo fell completely flat for me.
I thought the entire Kochin/Wheelo dynamic was hilarious. Kochin in general is one of the funniest characters I've seen from them.
I love Dead Zone too though.

Wheelo being super sappy as a joke had the shortest legs possible, especially after Kochin was gone to bounce off of and the massive girth of "original animation" inserted was completely out of place and distracting. Keep it to lip flaps.

They've been getting way better at the original art though if the Korin/Yajrobe scene in Broly is any indication.
The scene in World's Strongest just looked awful.

Probably my least favorite of any of their recent ones.

I even liked their characterization of Wheelo and I still think that joke ran out of steam incredibly quickly.
Oh good. Glad most of us are on the same page.
This day's totally coming up Oblivion.
Your moral high horsing is amazing.
I didn't say TFS owed anyone anything, I said you were being a prick for editorialising someone's disappointment in their release schedule.
"They're doing it for 'free'" is not an excuse from criticism in any regard and TFS have buggered it once or twice this year unless they're planing a new years explosion of Hellsing and FF7MA.
Or is all that talk of World's Strongest sending you into a death tissy?

I'm not grandstanding, I'm pointing out a simple fact that TFS don't owe any of their fans anything, and if you have the cheek to complain that a laborious product of time and effort you contribute nothing to isn't out as and when you'd like it to be, I think that's silly and an entitled way of thinking.
If you want to criticise their actual work, whatever, that's in part what this thread is for, but let's not pretend that's what you're doing when you're throwing a hissy fit over logistics. Speaking of critique; I don't particularly care whether or people liked their World's Strongest adaptation, I didn't love it myself, so... OK? I guess? You almost had me? Or you just might be projecting who's having a tizzy here.
I'm going to leave it at that.
