Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Not even sure it matters, non canon Broly could probably take SSJ2 Teen Gohan.
He just walked through that point blank Kamehameha that blasted off Cell's top. Both were depowered, but there's a pretty clear durability difference.

I guess I never realized(or if I did, I forgot all about it), because the line was removed from the English dub.
So like you said: that means Movie 10(Boo era) Gohan > Movie 8/9(Cell era) Gohan. So in that case, M10 Broly would obviously stomp Cell-era Gohan comfortably.
*And yes, I definitely believe that Gohan was using SS2 against Broly(and Dabura for that matter), because there would have been absolutely NO reason for him to hold back a vast amount of his power against either of them.
When Gohan fought Broly, he was the only one on earth capable of doing anything at all against him(Goku was dead at the time, and Vegeta was logically weaker than him), and he still got stomped... Gohan isn't a dipshit, and certainly wouldn't have held back a transformation that could have doubled his power for the lulz, given that the earth's survival was at stake.
With Dabura it's even more obvious that he was logically using SS2, but I won't get into that here...
I understand zenkais are unique to Saiyans, but I never got why some of the characters (mainly during the Namek arc) were so surprised by the fact that their powers increase with training and fighting.
Like, didn't their own powers also increase with training and fighting?
Dodoria and Zarbon thought that Vegeta increasing his PL from 18,000 to 24,000 was impossible.
So while I'm sure most of the B cast back then could increase their PLs to some extent with intensive training, they evidently couldn't increase by *that* much. Hence them being blown away by relatively mediocre Saiyan zenkai boosts.
*I'm not including DBS examples, because it seems like everyone of note has leveled up to at least God-tier power for literally no reason at all.
I guess future Trunks in the DBS flashback was also SSJ2 against Babidi and Dabura, just they didnt show the sparks because of Toei inconsistency as pointed out. But yeah.
We actually see in the manga the point Trunks goes ssj2 against Dabura. So, the manga is always consistent with the ssj2 people having the lightning aura.
