Broly has always been a rather divisive character within the Dragon Ball fandom. The monstrous Saiyan initially debuted in 1993’s Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, and was beloved by viewers who enjoyed the muscle-bound showdowns of DBZ. In the years that followed this film, however, the narrative surrounding Broly changed, and a large portion of the fanbase relegated the Saiyan legend to nothing but a mindless meathead.
