The fact that he's a Namekian was supposed to be a surprise, correct?

..has anyone noticed that in all the games he's appeared in, the majority of his moveset is based on the Namekian arm-stretching powers? Which, btw, he didn't even do before he became giant in the movie.

Strange.

How's that a twist? The first world wide threaten in the franchise was also a namekian.

Because in the original, he wears a helmet and bodysuit that obscure his Namekian features. I've checked with other DBZ fans that saw the film when it first came out, and it's agreed that Slug being a Namekian and not just a generic alien warlord was supposed to be a surprise.

No, the first scene in the movie is lore about ancient Super Namekians. With this new green bad guy it's pretty obvious this is therefore a Namekian.

How is his green skin and similar color scheme not a dead giveaway

Wasn't that only added in the English dub?

Both have it but tell different versions. Either way, you know the movie is about Namekians.
