Just saw the trailer.

Tons of Dragon Ball Z fans on 4chan are raging already.

It looks like a really bad adaption to me. Sort of like when they made Double Dragon or Mortal Combat.

But at least it looks ike there's going to be plenty of shit blown up.

It looks even worse than I was told... Eye-candy factor, fair enough, but Piccolo looks like an absolute tool...

Piccolo is the bad guy?
I thought he was good


I thought Freeza was the bad guy.
and Maju Bu and Androids and Cell and Broly.

Whatever, I doubt I will see it. Would be a waste of 90 minutes of my life.

Keep in mind that it looks like this is early Dragon Balls history. All those you are mentioning come later.

Wasn't Picollo the original nemisis of Goku?

(really doesn't know anything about DBZ)

Meh, I watched most of the Freeza saga, and bits of the Maju Bu one, didn't see him get defeated.

That was pretty much the extent of my DBZ viewing.
Apart from watching some of the fights on Youtube. Which pretty much skips the need to watch about 10 episodes when you see a 10 minute fight from between say Goky and Cell or something else. They talk too much and don't fight enough.

Piccolo was the original enemy of goku until he was defeated. First later came freezer to the world and became the new main villian.

Aye, pretty much. This is Dragonball, not Dragonball Z. So it'll be not as good. :p

I posted some spoiler pics I had blagged of the new movie in Terez's thread of yaoi discussion, so go scan through that for my posts to see some pics of Piccolo, the dragon and some kind of lizard-faced Oozaru Goku thing, particularly since they were removed from all the websites they were posted on by the film company. Funny how all the names come back when the opportunity for pisstaking presents itself, doesn't it?

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I wonder if Vegeta and/or Frieza will make an appearance at the end of the film to indicate a possible sequel...

Yeah I saw this a while ago and was like this is going to be screwed up.

I know it isn't DBZ but Goku has a fohawk!!!!! THAT IS WRONG! We need a better Goku and stuff, I will see it anyway I think but not expecting too much.

A little bird told me that there'll be a trilogy, with Vegeta likely to be in the second film and Frieza in the last.

The nerd rage is delicious.

What the hell is the difference between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z? Seems like shades of horrific Japanese gray to me.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Oh my, that sentence was beautiful.

This is my feeling of the movie:

No.


....

Now that I think on it actually, I like this movie.

I like it A LOT.

Maybe now those fucking manga/anime infidels will understand what it is to take a concept and RAPE IT.
For all the times they've done it, this is karma.

I will support this movie 100%.

Asian women... for some reason they are just super fucking hot all the time. I might never watch this movie..., but if I did it'd be because of these women.

Watching all the Otaku rage at the how unfaithful their precious anime has been portrayed.

The pictures opposite are from Fate Stay Night (or however they decided to write it) the girl being King Arthur (reincarnated with all his memories) and the androgyne being Gilgamesh.
When you confront the Otaku about this, like the fact that Arthur is now a woman and that it basicly breaks the tragic key stone of Arthurian legend, they say "Oh who cares, the art is cool (which is very debatable) and the story is fun."
Then something like this comes along, and they start crying about a character being badly portrayed and being changed on every level.
It is sweet ironic revenge.
