New Broly was so much better. Not only does he actually speak (unlike old Broly who had like 3 lines before his entire vocabulary devolved into just the word "kakarot" over and over), but he actually has emotion and feels like a genuine person. A kind soul who dislikes fighting but was sadly abused by his father and forced to fight. To me thats a much better backstory than him being a giant psychopathic crybaby who is triggered cause some kid cried a lot and he didnt like it.

The way I saw it was that Broly was forced to fight cause of king vegeta. He was placed on that planet cause he was too prideful of his son to accept anyone else being better. I think the planet was called Samba or something, but to me that planet looks like u would need to fight to stay alive.

And at first, Broly trained with that big fish friend, but his father showed him that he should fuel his fighting with hatred, so he cut off that fish’s ear.

So all in all, Broly was forced into fighting by the king, and eventually grew to like it, but his father pushed him towards a darker path of fighting. So he’s kind of like Goku, he likes to challenge himself, which is also supported by the fact Goku at the end says he plans on coming back to spar and Broly smiles.
