Well, many of you may already know that a live action Dragonball movie is in the making, and you may also know that I consider it a total outrage. Seriously, a year ago, if I had to make a list of things that couldn't and shouldn't happen to Dragonball, this would be at the top of my list!!! AGHHHH!!!!! I know there's no use crying over spilt milk but still..... Actually I will say that the the right approach was definitely taken to the story in that it focuses more on the original series, introducing the characters and using Piccolo as the main villain, while probably making use more of the DBZ fighting style (which is exactly what I said I would want once in a topic on this worst case scenario.) BUT, but, but, but....... there is another very serious problem that will probably make this movie unwatchable no matter what the circumstances. And that is, the movie version of Gokuh will be an unpopular high school student.....

W T F

If this is another effing case of trying to make a character relate more to the audience....!!!! Because I will tell you, that same bullshit almost ruined transformers for me. I just wanted to see Optimus Prime be his awesome self and watch some giant robots throw down, but no, they had to insert some hormonal teenage boy and his skank love interest too. What? I'm sorry, is Optimus Prime not a strong enough character to drive the plot of his own movie?
Anyway, it would be the same for Dragonball. I don't care about crazy hair or talking animals, but I just want some spirit of the original material to show through and I feel that this high school crap puts a very deep wound in this spirit. I mean, it doesn't even make sense!! What the hell would he need to go to school for? Being one of the most likeable characters ever, how would he be unpopular? His stupidity? Because I've been to high school and I know plenty of people who were as dumb if not dumber than him.


[/rant] Sorry about this, I don't mean to get people down even before the movie comes out but I can't help this whole things pissing me off. I really shouldn't care as much as I do....

and before anyone corrects my grammar here : "All the other guys are so much tougher better looking and MORE social than me..." there I did it myself

probably moving this to scraps soon.

I hadn't heard about a live action movie. But now that I have, ugh! I am boycotting this movie. Similar to what people did with The Golden Compass, except, y'know, we have good reason to boycott this pile of...pity, they could've done a great job with this.

:iconkurishojo:
It certainly seems like it's going to be a mish-mash of DB/DBZ plotline with some unneccessary attempts to relate to it's target audience. It's a big wait and see now though... I'm certainly not holding my hopes too high but I won't start disliking it now despite some already painful plot choices.

Another nice picture. You still do an amazing job drawing Dragonball fanart with the strong similiarity to Toriyama's style. Great job with Goku's posture, lots of suiting emotion!

Dragon ball was based loosely on the old chinese myth of Goku the monkey king. How can they take that and turn it into a high school drama?
:iconshadowheart900:
Simply unbelievable. Does no one appreciate an original storyline? *smacks forehead* I’m almost glad Kuririn and Vegeta aren’t gonna be in this…they’d never find good enough actors…And since when does Gokuh-san have ‘F’ing social issues? He always came across as the cute-but-clueless guy everybody loves to me. GAH! This may turn out to be worse than that ar-tarded Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles copout!!

I can't believe that they're doing this to Gokuh...D= I just died a little inside. And Justin Chatwin (Guy from the movie Invisible)'s gonna be Gokuh. Is it racist for me to say that I'd prefer for Gokuh to be, I dunno, Asian? D=

rofl Hollywood executives who decided to produce the movie probably didnt have time to read the whole series, so they resorted to fanfiction.net and pulled up one of the high school emo fics, using that as reference for their version of the movie. ROFL

Oh man, I am gonna see the movie anyway, but I'm gonna be too ASHAMED of the altered plotline to recommend it to anyone to see.... And then I can imagine years from now I ask peopel if they know DragonBall and people will say "OH YEAH! I saw that movie! Yeah it was good, but so-and-so-andyadayada" and I'm just gonna hold in my inner rage at Hollywood.

Dude, have you SEEN who those HEATHENS chose for Goku's role!? HAVE YOU!? If you're pregnant or have a weak constitution, I suggest that you DON'T LOOK.



This is blasphemy!

No, it makes sense. What kind of white guy runs around with a name like Gokuh anyway?
