Complaining about character design is weird? So everyone who didn't like SSG design was a weird complaint? I don't like the armour nor did I see a need not to use the onr in the original. No I'm not saying he should had drew Bardock the way I liked it as that's stupid. Im giving my opinion on the design

The word canon's official definition (in this circumstance):
"The works of a particular author or artist that are recognized as genuine"

Therefore the original Bardock movie is officially non-canon by definition of the word, since it was not the work of Akira Toriyama.
The problem is that akira toriyama isn't a very legit source anymore

There are multiple definitions of canon bud. Secondly, this definition is clear in the fact that it says recognized as genuine. The fact that this hasn't been officially placed, much like everything in Dragon Ball, means it isn't objectively canon.

They're many official definition of canon. Hope you know that. However my favourite comes from the good old urban dictionary

I'm confused. Why does the word canon have to be said by toriyama or anyone else who writes the stuff? In that statement I posted earlier, he doesn't say "canon", but it's clear he's saying that it(new movies, specials, etc.) did actually happen, he just didn't write it down in the manga back then.

Also, does whether or not the new material contradicts the original material really make something not canon?

Are there really that many things in Minus that contradict the manga?

No, Minus is fairly harmless when it comes to unexplainable contradictions. People, like myself, don't consider it canon because this material is fairly late to the party and because Bardock already had a perfectly acceptable origin.

Bardock looks terrible in Minus
I agree somewhat. I don't really care about thew whole armor thing, and it doesn't contradict anything, as he could have changed between then and the Bardock special, if his armor got damaged.

What really annoys me is, as I said before, the decrease in muscle mass in Bardock. He looks too lanky compared to how he looks in all his other appearances.

I mean, he went from this:

to this:

(Sorry if picture possibly isn't allowed because of source, and for the image size difference)

There is no way that in the time between Dragon Ball Minus, and Bardock's battle with Freeza, which is maybe a week or two at most, he could've gained that much muscle mass, so it doesn't make sense.

The same thing happened to to adult Goku, who was shown in the last panel.

So, Toriyama has clearly changed his art style, at least with how big muscles are on people, and it bothers me for some reason.

Sorry for the rant, but I just don't like that.

I didn't like Dragon Ball Minus but, to be fair, the issue with Bardock's muscle mass is due to Toriyama's art style. Everyone he draws now looks skinny. I wouldn't call it a plothole.

On the subject of canonicity, I don't think it matters much. If a work is bad, it'll still be bad regardless of it's canonical placement. Just stick to what you enjoy more.

So there is no real canon in dbz right? Do we go by levels of canonicity or do just say "I don't like this, this isn't canon"? And if we go by levels of canonicity, how do we know what work is more canon than others? Is that also up to your personal preference?

Well. Easily the manga is canon even though db doesn't have canon. Basically the original manga + what u want besides movies(Toriyama called them a separate dimension) + BoG(due to Toriyama statements) + The BGM xD

Comparing people complaining about SSJG to someone changing their clothes? Lmao.

People change their clothes on a daily basis, it's completely normal, so why can't Bardock wear different armour?

Do you have billions of cameras, set up to spy on the population, and complain when they change clothes?

You must have had a tough time watching DBZ. Pretty much every character has changed their clothes at one point or another.

Wow. Way to not read what I've been saying and taking things to literal. As I said that I don't like how Bardock looks in Minus. If you're going to mock me. At least read what I said.

Yes, I obviously know that or I wouldn't have said "in this circumstance". I was using the definition of canon that everyone else is talking about, the one that is relevant to the discussion.
