I'm sure if Kirillin had been cast out would be Verne Troyer. Disgusting thought really.That's absolutely true. I would be a little more outraged by the lack of Krillin if the movie weren't already so horribly butchered. With the characters and storyline as mangled as they are, it doesn't seem so awful that one (very, very important) character is missing entirely. If anything, Krillin is saving face here.
Hooray they can cover it in the sequel!To be fair, he wasn't super sayin in Dragonball. In fact, I don't think the concept of sayins was even introduced until Dragonball Z.
