But the point of Dragon Ball has never been combat power!

This is not a popular movie, and the low rating is justified, because for more ordinary audiences who don't know Dragon Ball, who would take the time to understand the huge historical relationship of Dragon Ball before watching the movie. This is indeed a sincere work dedicated to fans, but unfortunately, our audience only cares about combat effectiveness. They have forgotten that in the world of Dragon Ball, there are no long lines to express emotions. The emotions of all characters are expressed through their actions and choices. The focus of Dragon Ball is not on combat effectiveness. Every decision they make is in line with their character background setting. And this theatrical version, the main characters portrayed, all seem to be what they should be doing, which enriches the character settings.
Let’s talk about Solbe first. Many people say that Red Bull is so powerful, why should he be Solbe’s subordinate? Solbe is not a simple person. He believes in Frieza like Hitler, and is as cunning and ambitious as Frieza. This is the person who can lead the army, gather talents, and prepare what Frieza needs to resurrect. It takes planning, not just fisting, which is why Frieza wants to keep him for sneak attacks. So in the premise of the common dream of resurrecting Frieza, why can't people with force be used by people with more appeal? even if they are weak.
Let's talk about Colin. Some people say that the 18th is much more powerful than Xiaolin, why didn't the 18th go. No. 18 is passive rather than active into an artificial human, and he is not a person who pursues the peak of martial arts. It was Xiaolin who made her change from a cold killing machine to a living person, with a family, children, and her husband working outside to work hard for the family without having to face war. Her heart is no longer a machine, but a woman who needs to rely on. She is willing to let her husband decide whether she will fight or not, and Xiaolin's protection of the hard-won family and the desire to rely on No. 18, I don't want to turn 18 into a killing machine again. This is why two people who don't seem to be a good match can live so happily together. They both know each other. Xiaolin doesn't have the ability to protect the earth, but he has the courage to protect the family. For Kobayashi, the enemy this time was Frieza, who once killed him. He resolutely faced it, isn't he really handsome?

Then there's Vegeta. Is he willing to succumb to the genocide of his own species as a minion? Not really! Like a Jewish aristocrat staying with Hitler. His pride as a prince is to avenge his race one day. He is a man with a national complex and a sense of belonging. Once, when he thought he could challenge Frieza, he was beaten to despair. Now, when he once again faced an enemy who was no longer his opponent. His arrogance and contempt are also shown in this theatrical version.

And then there's our protagonist, Frieza. I heard that in the Japanese version, he always speaks honorifics and is a very polite bad guy. But the Mandarin version does not show such a contrast, which also makes his original charm lessened. This may be why when Bulma scolded him as a big bastard, he felt unhappy, and later Sun Wukong also told Vegeta to go back to protect your woman, she was too reckless. This kind of detail, in the Chinese version, is invalid. Frieza planned three plans this time. The first is to fight. If the attack is unsuccessful, he will attack. If the attack is unsuccessful, he will explode on the spot. This not only shows the insidious cunning of the cosmic emperor, but also shows his determination to take revenge. He is an extremely shameless and extremely power-hungry man. He is also not a martial artist, but a cunning statesman, but it just so happens that he himself is the highest force that guarantees his own authority. Therefore, it makes sense that he has not practiced. An imperialist politician who planned to colonize was defeated by a rude man in a remote area, his empire was overthrown overnight, and he was imprisoned on a remote planet. In this theatrical version, he found that when he couldn't beat Sun Wukong, the desperate roar, he really had nothing. The subordinates who were once beaten and cried by themselves can now take revenge with ease. This is a splendid emperor with a bleak ending.

Regarding Son Gohan, it is more reasonable for a person raised by his mother to become a scholar according to his mother's wishes, rather than living according to the idea of ​​Wu Chi's father who abandoned his wife and children.
Sun Wukong is so simple that he doesn't have too many family values, he doesn't have too many racial values, and he doesn't have the ambition to dominate the world. Among all people, he is the only one who is simply seeking to be stronger. He didn't want to kill, he just wanted to find someone who would make him stronger. This also makes him sometimes unable to distinguish the seriousness of the matter, and does not know when he should be vigilant. He's a purely silly guy. We can measure him purely by force, which is all he wants. For other people, whether it is strong or not, this is not what Dragon Ball wants to say.
The most interesting is the guy Gak. He even decided the life and death of Sun Wukong at one moment. If you are not sure, you can go to the comics of Galactic Patrol Gak. On the surface, he strictly abides by the Galaxy Law, and is very respectful. But all these things that he couldn't understand were, to a certain extent, the consequence of his dereliction of duty when he did not abide by the Galaxy Law. This character is really contradictory and funny, the lawbreaker who talks about the law all day. I really like this character.
Talking so much nonsense, not wanting to quarrel. But after a long rest, I encountered the embarrassment of Hearthstone update again. Also, I really like this one, and that's why I like it. Others can also have reasons for dislikes, or even more, it doesn't matter and doesn't want to discuss.

    So sad, although Frieza's character is really evil to the top, why bother to pull it out and abuse it again. Moreover, the gap between Frieza and Kakarot, who has reached the state of Saiyan God, is so big that Nima can pull it back after half a year of practice? And Frieza's miscellaneous soldiers, who can all turn to ashes in ten seconds with Piccolo? Do you think this is the combat power of the Namekian arc? It's too inconsistent.
