Backdrop
What makes this movie Worth Watching
The film taps into the generational aspect of Dragon Ball, highlighting the growth of characters like Gohan and Pan. It also explores the continuing relevance of characters who aren't Saiyans, proving their worth against new threats without relying solely on power scaling.
- The animation style, a blend of 2D and 3D CGI, offers a fresh and visually dynamic take on the Dragon Ball universe, especially during the action sequences.
- The focus on Gohan and Piccolo as the main characters allows for character development and gives spotlight to underutilized members of the Z Fighters.
- The humor is consistent with the Dragon Ball franchise, providing lighthearted moments that balance the intense action.
- The nostalgic return to themes of legacy and mentorship resonate with long-time fans of the series.
Fun Facts
- Gamma 1 and Gamma 2's designs and poses are heavily inspired by classic superhero characters from tokusatsu shows like Kamen Rider.
- The Red Ribbon Army's resurgence is a direct callback to one of Goku's earliest antagonists, bringing the story full circle in a way.
- The final transformation of Cell Max is a nod to Perfect Cell, with slight variations on the design and abilities.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/dragon-ball-super-super-hero-spoiler-free-review
"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero offers what most fans of the saga come looking for: energetic action, new transformations, and the classic Akira Toriyama humor that works brilliantly in this film.
The risk and courage in creating a narrative focused on Gohan, Piccolo, and Pan turn out to be successful due to the more intimate context, but it's still quite far from the epic levels and supreme satisfaction of the last movie.
Exaggerated fan service leads to unjustified, absurd new forms. The pacing and balance of the different storylines and relationships lack better control. The fight sequences have good moments, but some abrupt cuts take away some of the dazzle. And finally, 3D animation proves to be a massive decline in almost every aspect compared to the ideal mix used in recent content.
It's a pleasant, light, fun adventure but sadly unfulfilling."
