Dragonball: Evolution Trailer (More like Suckolution Failure)

[CodeBlack]

CodeBlack, you're completely missing Aesirs points.

I'm just going to take one thing you said to show you what I mean.

"hell, Goku being in high school defies the premise of Dragonball entirely"

You're saying that since Goku was a child in dragonball and this Goku is older it should not be called Dragonaball. Yet, in DBZ Goku was a adult so this film should not be called DBZ either correct? Do you see how ridiculous that is? Who cares how old he is?

You can't fit 100's of hours of animation into a single film. It's not realistic to expect a exact re-telling of the same stories that you are already familiar with. Nor is it necessary. As long as they keep the core elements of the DB universe it's ok.

Not age, setting.

Goku travelling around the world, exploring, meeting people and going on adventures is a huge part of DB's setting. Him going to a high school and defending a town from evil is less of a Dragonball movie and more like a teen hero movie with a Dragonball twist.

Ok, for that last paragraph. I really hate repeating myself, but for the third time. Every film made take some liberties. Every single one. Everyone knows that. The difference between a good adaptation and a bad adaptation is how much they mess with the premise itself.

And you know he won't be doing this how? Because from the sound of it he's going to be going on an adventure to find the dragonballs in the movie.

I think the whole high school setting is meant to speed up the story a bit. Goku is strong so they have him in high school to emulate that. Goku likes chi chi, chi chi likes Goku what better way to show this then in a high school setting? Goku is different from everyone else, again what better way to emulate this then in a high school setting?

 

[Vorguen]

Goku has spikey hair. What better way to emulate this than in a high school setting?

You will do it in your sleep. You'll wake up to find cash missing from your wallet.

I rarely carry cash on me, mostly just debit. I'm going to lock my debit card in a safe and make up a random combination so this incident can't occur.

Make sure someone else knows the combination and not you. Otherwise, you'll just open that safe yourself too.

this movie is going to be so "cheesy"

If they wanted to do a whole "high school esque" setting, don't you think that they should of fast forwarded to Dragonball Z to when the time Gohan went to high school? I mean, c'mon. The setting of this movie is garbage, and so is the person playing as Goku. He didn't even show any kiddy enthusiasm when Goku clearly lets his inner child come out and play. That is NOT Goku, it's a horrible cosplayer....

Goku is simple minded, and he did not go to even kindergarden. Nevertheless, he's pretty sharp when it comes to combat situations.

 

[Skrah]

This movie was filmed in Mexico xD

So its really that bad?

Wow, that's a good point.

I think mostly it's because they wanted to use Piccolo as the main villain.

I dunno, who was the villain of that arc again? Was that Majin Buu?

Well, Predator was also shot in Mexico...It was awesome.

 

[Geist]

I am simply AMAZED no one has screamed out a joke relating to inert balls and over 9000 yet. (directly)
I am seriously weirding out here. I thought I knew the internet. Everything I have ever known is wrong.
Oh god.....

This is either a sign of how disapointed people are or something big is going down.


On a lighter note, I would personally love to see a live action pokemon movie. But without ash.
And well done.

 

[thecatinthehat]

Am I really the only one who's looking forward to this?

lol just kidding. **** looks mad whack.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

No, those are both just unfunny, overused memes. "Inert Balls" isn't even a very popular one, "Over 9000" was used beyond the breaking point the day after it was discovered.

 

[Slithe]

Hey, this reminds me of something. Did anyone see the trailer they had for a live action Zelda movie? It was posted back on April 1st, so I thought it was a joke, but it looked serious to me.

 

[thecatinthehat]

Ye s

10 char dodging..

Tsk Tsk..

 

[Mini Mic]

boy tha moives is gonna suck some dragon balls

Oh ho ho, you see what I did there?

It was a joke, made by IGN for April's Fool day.

And a pokemon movie? How the hell would they do the pokemon?

Hahahahaha, that made me laugh.

To be honest, over 9000 is funny situational. But it's such an overused joke. Inert balls is still a little funny, but I find my personal favorite DBZ joke to be "I hope my body can take it!" and just making fun of the ridiculous English DBZ intro song.. (Dragon dragon... What the dragon? Bought? Caught? )

DBZ is only epic in Japanese... and it's actually pretty good in Spanish too.

Subs / spanish dubs > English dubs FTW!


oh and.


This movie stinks.

 

[shadenexus18]

Wow, that's a good point.

Yup!! The villains were Babidi, Majin Buu (fat), Super Buu, and Kid Buu.

This is exactly why Funimation, the organization that made the Dragonball series along with the brilliant Akira Toriyama, should have had some say so as far as the making of this movie is concerned.

 

[Vorguen]

Or you can just say "Buu" and it's understood. In that case you also missed Dabura... Majin Vegeta... Spopovich... lol

 

[CodeBlack]

Just watch, when the movie comes out it's going to turn out that all the info they gave us were absolute lies, because, lets face it, it's funny to screw around with people.

Anyway, I'm definitely placing this one in the "so bad it's hilarious" category until I see it when it come out on television.

 

[Vorguen]

Yeah. Did you ever wath Dragon Wars? I laughed so hard during that movie. lol

 

[E.G.G.M.A.N.]

And a pokemon movie? How the hell would they do the pokemon?

They would CGI a bunch of animals that kind of look like Pokemon if you squint really hard.

 

[Rx-]

i love pokemon.


you don't even know.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, they are planning to make a Cowboy Bebop movie...

Starring Keanu Reaves as Spike...

...

And now my dreams have been crushed.

I can already imagine Keanu Reaves delivering the line "Bang!" in his monotonic form of "acting."

 

[cryptic metaphor]

this movie will end my life... and everyones around me....

 

[Vorguen]

Hopefully I will be spared...

 

[MBreeto]

I just saw a preview for 17 again with Zach Efferon. I'm going to put my eyeballs on a stove or something. As for Dragonball, there is no reason to pay to see this movie. No reason. The movie is banking of people saying "well, it's dragonball, so im gonna see it" and " dude, i have to see how bad it is". Don't fall into the trap. Dont make this terrible movie break profit. For the love of god, please dont.

 

[shadenexus18]

HA HA HA!!! Yeah! It'll be hard for "Neo" to capture "Spike's" persona/character/mannerisms the way Spike's voice actor Steven Jay Blum did. <-----(voice of Tom off of Toonami, Mugen 'Samurai Shamploo', Orochimaru 'Naruto,')

Anywho, I honestly think I would not go see this movie if it didn't have that sight for sore eyes Emmy Rossum (Bulma). Wow...she's drop dead gorgeous like...Megan Fox drop dead beauteous! *licks lips*

Man...I saw MTV interview her and...yeah. She's all that and a bag of Pringles.

 

[Clone Z]

Ahh this is epic.

Epicly horrible.

 

[Vorguen]

It's epic fail.

Yeah makes sense.

/sarcasm

You're basically saying they should have skipped 90% of the series just so the high school theme would fit in?

 

[Vorguen]

They should have skipped the movie!

 

[Aesir]

^ But they didn't lol
