Do you think more fan-service could have made the older DragonBall Z movies more interesting?

[Fantastische Hure]

We all know they were just inconsequential side-stories and didn't mean anything in the long run, so do you think they could have just said, fack it and done a lot more fan-service.

Like more Saiyans or Namekians or Androids? They did Tullece and Broly, and Lord Slug, and Movie 7 but I mean more. They were Non-Canon anyway, so who cares? Surely would have made for interesting movies a-lot of times.

Movie 10 should have taken place in a beach and shown Videl fighting in a bikini.

Like making Broly the villain for 3 movies or BoG and FnF extending to the "amazing exciting action pack well written series" known as Super?

Considering both made a hell lot of money in the box office collection, why not?

The FnF movie made money? The freak!?

 

[Papasmurf]

Made as much as BoG in fact.

90s fan service is more tasteful than the db super version.

I think the movies would be more interesting if they weren't so blatantly inconsequential and if they didn't lack originality. The movies, for the most part (there are exceptions) are just them going, "Hm, this is popular in DB... let's make a similar scenario for 40 minutes!" That's another thing, the run time. Basically two episodes mashed into one. I think that the movies were a fantastic time to dive into something deeper. I don't know,, I think that they just felt underwhelming. I'll give credit to Toonami because to this day, I still think Dead Zone, World's Strongest, and Tree of Might are great... but in hindsight, that's due to good promoting from Toonami. And really, at that time, Toonami could have told me anything and I'd buy into it.

On the same wave-length.

Looking back virtually all db movies were pretty much derivative and the one's that weren't were about as fun as a dentist appointment.

Toei really can't make a movie without borrowing original canon stuffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they start making Super movies with its plot similar to the series.

At-least they try more now. These days when they do manga-based movies or specials, they give credit straight-away instead of saying it's a all new movie.

When you say "Older movies" do you mean the early ones like M1-4 or just movies before BoG? If it's the former I'd say no, I thought they were fine jus the way they were. If it's the latter, I'd say no. Broly was a fanservice and his other 2 movies are less than stellar. I don't really like any of the movies post Bojack Unbound to be honest (Aside from BoG).

Movies before Battle of Gawds.
