DRAGON BALL Z: COOLER'S REVENGE

For my project, i had been inspired by the soundtrack of Dragon Ball Z: Broly-The Legendary Super Saiyan, with its 2000's nu metal personifying the animalistic, villainous nature of its antagonist. see below

But I had watched Cooler's Revenge last night so I will write about that since it is fresh in my mind, and has a similar soundtrack. The film's antagonist, the tyrannical Cooler, is the brother of Frieza, who Goku had beaten prior to the events of the film. Cooler and his soldiers jump Goku and his friends. All the fight scenes are met with awesome music from bands like Drowning Pool, Finger Eleven, Disturbed, etc. The final fight 

of the film between Goku and Cooler has Change (In the House of Flies) by Deftones playing over it, signifying Goku's change in demeanor. From seeing his friend Piccolo seemingly killed, and the destruction of the forest around him at the hands of Cooler. see here. 

For my project, I want music to be an important part of it, both representing the main character and the era it is set in.
