But...but why? Why broly? Why OLD broly? Old broly is a fucking monster who is just wanted to ruin everything around him for petty reasons that can barely be called character motivations. New Broly would be a far better fit as he's a misunderstood guy who is lashing out because he feels he has no other choice. Wouldn't that be a more thematically appropriate fit? Not that I want to give these fuckers ideas, but Ed is his most famous and well received role and New Broly is his most relevant new work, but they go with the old irrelevant version of Broly whose transparently a villain as a symbol of his virtue? What?
It's because they're idiots.
Like, I get the impulse to see below the surface of things, but I'm pretty sure surface is all we have here.
