All this reminds me, I had to go to a co-worker's place today and her laptop had three big-ass DBS Goku stickers on it, loved it.
Someone from the IT department in my office has a UI Goku mug, he definitely noticed my Vegeta wallpaper the first few days I took my personal laptop to work lol.

Base Goku being weaker than Frieza is definitely a retcon. I could go back and find all of the evidence of that, but an easy example is that Vegeta, Gohan and Goku all agreed to stay in base form while competing in the 25th World Martial Arts tournament against both Android 18 and Super Namek Piccolo. Unless you think the two of them are somehow weaker than Frieza as well, the only real explanation for this is that none of the Saiyans thought it would be an issue.

Vegeta fighting dumb isn't a good explanation for Goku being able to touch Hit in his base form. If standard Super Saiyan is any indication, then SSBlue would be enhancing their speed by incredible multipliers, so I can't buy that base Goku would be able to react faster than Blue Vegeta, period. Goku even draws blood in his base form which seems ridiculous given Hit was later tanking hits from SSBlue. It's just nonsensical rule of cool as far as I'm concerned.

I was going to say that I didn't buy the idea of Cabba reaching the heights of Goku and Vegeta without ever hitting Super Saiyan, but then I realized that in a universe where the Saiyans were still around and defenders of justice, the Super Saiyan God ritual would probably be a pretty standard thing. Presumably he's had a lot of experience in that form. Fair enough on that point, then.

They didn't fight any one them in their base forms, so it isn't a retcon. That and they probably could win by outsmarting or outplaying them.

Hit wasn't going all out against base form Goku because he was trying not to kill him. Instead, he try to make Goku see how foolish he's being and give up. The moment Hit got serious, Goku went straight to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

Bandai beat their forecast (96 Billion Yen) for DB for the fiscal year ending March 31st 2018 by almost 2 Billion Yen.
97.9 Billion Yen = 892.5 Million USD. Add in Toei's numbers (which we'll get soon) and the IP did over $1 Billion for Toei and Bandai combined

Nearly 30 Billion Yen over Gundam and a massive lead over One Piece.
They are forecasting a lower number for DB in this fiscal year due to the lack of a weekly TV show.

yeah we're like 99% getting a return for tv next year, you don't make that much money and not do it, especially if the creators are willing, you also don't create a new artstyle just for one movie

Well, you can, One Piece did it. The difference here is that they started work on the artstyle nearly 2 years before the movie's release date and even a few months before they had the idea for the movie, Toriyama hand picked the new designer and was involved in the creation of the new style while also throwing stealth shade at the old designer, and finally they are making a big deal about the new artstyle.

Haha nice, it's always cool to see stuff like that even if it's not that uncommon over here. My co worker is like 9 years younger than me so I didn't expect her to be that passionate about it.
Quick sketch this morning for Piccolo Day
