Since we have arrived on this topic, I kinda want to point out how I felt Broly's backstory this time was extremely lazy. Not spoiling anything but the older Broly had a much darker and more interesting backstory - getting stabbed by Kingeta, enduring baby Kakarot's crying literally for hours and then witnessing the complete annihilation of his planet. And if that wasn't enough, his father started controlling his every action. Now if all of that doesn't turn you into a blood-thirsty lunatic, you might be very-well be an enlightened sage.

Compared to all that, the new Broly's backstory was like meh. The only reason the film gives for his becoming blood-thirsty and completely crazy (as far I understood and this should not count as spoilers since its literally the name of the passive of the new AGL Broly) is "cause he is a golden God giant ape in the form of a human." According his backstory, other than the father controlling his actions, none of the other dark stuff happens I'm sorry but no.... Not at all, OG Broly had quite possibly the weakest character back story in the entire franchise. You seriously telling me a babylistening to another baby cry for a few hours or say a day would cause that much mental scarring? Some how knows the babies name too despite also being a baby yourself. And the golden god giant ape was never mentioned at all, thats a terrible paraphrase. Broly is able to tap into the raw power of the oozaru in his normal state. He doesnt mention anything about a god great ape
