Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

Respect to Chatwin for the apology, even though he didn't need to do it; he was just making a film that everyone could see (me included) was rushed into production and given a lousy script. Having watched the film, I think he was adequate and did as much as he could with the script.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Toriyama canon is flexible. He turned Vegeta from a villain to an anti-hero, he forgot about Lunch, he made Piccolo an alien being when he was previously a demon, and so on.

Just go with it and enjoy it.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

This was one hell of a thunderbolt. Mr Toriyama had a lot of mangaka friends/associates who spoke highly of him, and will miss him greatly. For myself, I found him to be a fantastic artist with a great sense of fantasy, fun and childlike wonder. Though Dragon Ball may have grown beyond what he had i...

Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

It's likely the One Piece Remake may be similar to Dragon Ball Kai, and anyway a remake is needed given that the show has lasted 25 years and 1000 episodes.

Re: Gag Characters: what makes Arale and others like her incompatible when comparing Dragon Ball power levels?

Gag characters work on Rule of Funny. If something makes people laugh, it's a go.

The Mask, Deadpool, Roger Rabbit, they all operate on rule of funny. I think Arale goes by the same route.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I don't know about de-aging the main characters, but I need to see what that's about and how long it will last.

One just has to be open enough and expect some surprises at this point in the saga. I just hope it will be a faithful enough and enjoyable enough Dragon Ball tale.

Re: Why is Goku bored?

Because he's a manchild, and children get bored very easily. And that's a source of humor/drama for the show.

Re: Chi Chi and Goku should have gotten a divorce a long time ago

The kids are glueing that marriage together. Gohan and his wife and child, and Goten too I guess.

Plus, Chi-Chi isn't going to let the strongest fighter go now, is she?

Re: Bootleg dragon ball movie discussion

I saw the Magic Begins and even though its budget was low I really enjoyed it. It felt like a quest/Tokusastsu style film.

The dude who played Master Roshi was shameless and fun to see.

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

snip snip Well, I can't argue with these points. Adaptation is a tricky business to balance things. What to keep in, or leave out. How long things can be drawn out or shortened. I think would have given the One Piece show 13 episodes and not 8, for a better pacing maybe. But that's the only change ...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

The live-action One Piece adaptation was heavily edited, from 45 episodes/95 manga chapters into 8 episodes. It's currently debated if that was okay, but the performances got a solid pass. There were Easter eggs and myth gags and stuff that's nice, but the plot is the main thing, and they did reason...
