What if Broly were not the LSSJ?

Let's say in M8 that Broly was simply designed to be a monster with unbelievable power. He would be the exact same character with the same dialogue and power, but he would not be the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Would his fanbase exponentially decrease? Personally, I think it would be reduced to 1/50 of its current numbers at least.
We Super Saiyans are in a league of our own.

Yeah... That title keeps Broly going. I don't think he needed that title. He would have been better without it.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

I guess we're discussin somethin like WW "population growth" of Broly's fanbase..economical as well as social..ROFL

Like really.

Justin Bieber has fans. Tyrese Gibson has fans. Heck, even porn stars have fans.

Wonder why we aren't discussin abt all those celebs? Cuz they dont have "LSSJ" tag maybe.

Its true dbz later gets turned into "Super Saiyan show" with major focus on the Saiyans:Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, F.Trunks & Gotenks etc.

Whats weird is that even "weird" guys like Piccolo having massive fanbase. The Green-Guy with stern, same poker-face reaction (which is now being cool) & getting ROFL stomped in every Goddamn movie.

Compared to that, Broly has decent design with Mutha***** strength & some disturbing back-story. Of how a mentally unstable child with freakin INSANE Power-Level gettin stabbed, thrown like garbage & forcefully harnessing his inner power to escape frm exploding planet. As Paragus said, Broly was very model of a Saiyan & even if you strip his LSSJ form, he'll still give the impressions which Kid Buu & Janemba gave. A ticking time-bomb with overpowering screen-presence.

Kid Boo and Janemba had unique powers and fighting styles

Broly is a more stupid Nappa

Ignorance is bliss. Dont wanna be the bad guy here btw.

Broly's wrestling-esque fighting style is distinct compared to regular DoragonBoru's flurry of punches so-fast-u-cant see them.

I know you'll disagree, cuz I'll bring up Broly's movesets against M10 Gohan.

Grapplings, Bear Hugs, & Clotheslines (frm M8) are different. Maybe not unique for some, as the extent of Broly's chi manipulation hasn't been showcased.

It's Recoome/Nappa's moveset slapped onto a bigger guy. He brings nothing new except for a hilariously weak backstory

And at least Nappa and Recoome were enjoyable to watch.
Broly just goes berserk on everything and barely talks. Nappa and Recoome stated themselves as bad-asses.

Umm.

Broly = Nappa/Recoome slapped together.

Then,

Kid Buu = Frieza & Cell slapped together.

Janemba = Fat Buu & Super Buu slapped together

Dbz isn't HXH to bring new to the table with varieties.

Its a show done to death with BAD**** villains pop, massacres everywhere, Good Guys winning. Be it one-note villains as Broly, Hirudergarn, Janemba or complex, developed villains as Frieza, Cell & King Piccolo.

Hirudegarn had backstory and his shadow form, Janemba had interesting powers.

Broly is a third rate wrestler who was fired for steroid use

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I wouldn't say his moveset is all that different but his attitude is unique.

He's truly barbaric.

Kid Buu is similar to that but in a child-like way he just dicks around and just wants to have fun Broly just wants to maraud everything and exert his dominance.

Nobody else with such a power advantage has been as brutal as him really, Nappa toyed with everyone to pass the time but Broly just wanted to smash people in to buildings or let them get away only to hunt them down.

I think he would be popular without LSSj in the title regardless the only thing that title serves is people saying his power level always going up and whatnot "He's the LEGENDARY Super Saiyan, of course he constantly gets stronger and is invincible his power is maximum! Fool!"
Without the title he still wrecked everyone with I guess a powerful form he attained through effort, I think it could actually improve his story.

Just because he starts with 10,000 doesn't necessarily mean he'd be legendary after what 11 or 12 years Goku was one of the most pathetic Saiyans ever because he never trained properly.


They could have made it like Broly is the ultimate true Saiyan who cares only for himself but then the good guys win because being pure of heart is superior or some regular BS like that.

He probably wouldn't feel half as mighty or mythical as he feels right now without his Legendary Super Saiyan tag. After all, half of what brings him to the level he is is the hype that said Legendary Saiyan brought to the table all throughout the Namek Saga. That say, I really don't get the Broly hate lol. I think he's cool. There are times where you have to face the smart, mastermind-esque villains like Freeza or Cell, and there are times where you find yourself dealing with just pure brutal strength.
He also took on the Z fighters on his own which made him look way more badass. In fact he wasn't even defeated by a fighter alone, Goku had to do that weird "mystical punch" thing to bring him down, truly giving the impression that Broly was in his own tier compared to those busters.
Just because he is a brute doesn't mean he is Nappa or Recoome though, there's plents of differences. Nappa, who was dumb and strong, got tricked by techniques like the Kienzan, etc etc, and he couldn't really afford to toy with the Z fighters once he discovered how truly dangerous they were. Likoom got ragdolled around for the first half of the match, although he was holding back. What made Broly so different is that he just was a damn tank. No one could even scratch him until the end of the movie. Not even that punk Goku could scratch him with his Kamehameha! In fact Broly just literally walked into it like "'zup Kakaroth".

But going back to the point of the thread, he wouldn't be as popular as he is now. He would feel just like "yet another movie villain", much like most of the fanbase sees ,say, Bojack. The Legendary Super Saiyan transformation is what made him so special, so threatening.

On the subject of tanking, Broly became far less of a tank in Movie 10. He lost a brute strength contest to Gohan, was staggered several times, stopped smiling, and nearly died to lava.

I think Broly was a good idea that was poorly executed. There was a lot of potential there, because we never got a definitive answer about the LSSJ in the manga, and it would have been great to learn more about the Saiyans.
