Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

Roshi would be far less entertaining if all he did was read porn and watch jazzercise. His greatest perverted moments often involve him actively pursuing women, such as in the aforementioned Lunch's ass scenes or that time he shrunk himself to spy on Bulma in the bathroom. So you're admitting that ...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

You know you can have sexuality without having sexual assault and harrassment right? Roshi can enjoy reading porn mags and watching suggestive jazzercise and admiring hot women in swim suits without trying to grab his housekeepers ass while she's cooking dinner or insisting a teen girl let him bury...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

You do this just about any time you paint yourself into a corner arguing. "The soul of Dragon Ball" is not a material thing that any individual gets to personally decide the definition or significance of. The Dragon Ball manga and Dragon Ball anime have existed for decades and they will n...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

DB has aged just fine. The sexuality, violence, homophobia, and racism is not a "product of its time". Rather, it's timeless. Julie right. Shit was awful in the 80s and shit is just as awful now. How some individuals may or may not respond to it is irrelevant. Social systems don't work lik...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

Also, lol. They absolutely would tone down both the violence and the sexuality for a mainstream film, and they would be right to do so. Oolong and Roshi are fucking gross and if you think their behavior should be retained you're probably gross too and should go away. So it's somehow okay to do away...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?

I don't think Funi wanted to include any Chinese-sounding stuff in their version if at all possible. Either translate it or change it. So no Shenlong or anything like that. "Shenron", in the manner that they speak it, is an easy fix, if they don't want to say Eternal Dragon. Especially for...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

I just want Roshi and Oolong to be the perverts they are with as little restraint as possible. Sure, maybe not *every* single gag needs to be recreated or *every* single boundary broken, but hopefully a live-action DB would own and embrace its perversion. Bruh this is wack What's so wack about it?

Re: Granolah's name

But it's not a "word," that's his name. And it's not like "Bobby" or something--it's already a word that isn't exactly natural in English. So they could very, very easily emphasize the "KU" instead of the "GO". It's incredibly easy. They already emphasize the...

Re: Granolah's name

The idea that Funi mispronounces Goku's name has always been overstated. It's not really all that far off. They emphasize the wrong vowel... They emphasize the right vowels. Maybe their "Go-" is a little bit too much sometimes, but chalk that up to the difference between the Japanese appr...

Re: Why "Tullece" and not something like "Turlece"?

The chōonpu (ー) does not signify that there's an R there. For example, I think that you'll agree that "ベジータ" shouldn't be adapted as "Vegerta." No offense, but it sounds like you may have a misunderstanding of how elongation and romanizing operates. Typically a -vowel kana, when...

Re: Why "Tullece" and not something like "Turlece"?

In romaji his name is Taaresu . The romaji equivalent of Tullece would be Taresu . It doesn't account for the elongated a sound, whereas something like Turlece or Tarlece (or even Turles) does. With this in mind, why go with Tullece? So that the pun is made clear to English speakers. Your examples ...

Re: Any FUNi dubisms you still find yourself saying from time to time?

"Mercenary Tao" sounds even worse than "General Tao" to me, despite being somewhat more accurate. It's a silly term to use as a title.

The character doesn't even need a title anyhow.

That's just the nature of anime filler. Things are rendered anticlimactic and neutered due to conflicts between manga and anime-only material.

Huh. That reminds me of how GreatSaiyaman777 spelt Broly's name as "Brolly", as seen on some of his movie/special comparisons on the now-defunct "DBZ Uncensored 2". "Bro ll y" was a common fan spelling back in the day, and I still prefer it over "Bro l y". I ...

Shame he wasn't utilized more post-Baby.

His power and skill set, relationship with Pan, and overall character would have like...

There's zero reason to make them perverts, just like there's zero reason to make them perverts in the original comic and cartoons. It's who they are as characters, and it's the kind of world that the story lives in. Take away the characterization and the sexuality from DB and you lose part of what ...
