. Which of all the mispronunciations they could have fixed is probably the most important one. Even Sean Schmmel admitted that the pronunciation makes no sense in some 2+ hour interview he did. It's also the one mispronounciation they never could have gotten away with fixing because it's unfortunat...

Why has Funimation consistently refused to include the more faithful, better acted and produced uncut Pioneer dubs of Z movies 1-3 since the original singles despite wholly owning them? Because most fans think the redub is "good enough". This actually reminded me on the Akira 25th anniver...

] Honestly, no. Because the word "trunks" is an English name, pronouncing it in the Japanese way would sound completely weird and dumb to me. Like calling Piccolo "Piccoro" And it's gonna blow your mind when I tell you what Videl is anagram of and why calling her "Beedel&qu...

I think the thing people need to realize is a redub is never going to happen. Ever. Even if Crunchyroll lost the license to Viz or Toei's USA branch or Disckotek the company would just use the already existing and popular Funimation dub. Sailor Moon got a redub out of necessity. The old dub skipped ...

Also, to be clear, Marvel films have taken all kinds of liberties with the source material. They really aren’t all that faithful, especially not where stuff like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are concerned. They just got a pass because most of the characters they adapted weren’t particularly m...

Now, I don't like her playing kid Goku. Why? She uses the same exact voice for him that she used to use for Luffy I don't get this argument at all. Voice actors recycle voices all the time. Who cares if her Luffy and Goku voice sound the same? They don't interact on screen together. She's not oblig...

Master Mutato being a minor character should not factor into it. If he is white skinned in the cartoon then he should be cast as a white skinned guy (I'm not sure if Mutato is supposed to be Asian or Caucasian) in the live action version. (It should not be a requirement but a heavy consideration) W...

Goku being played by an Asian actor makes a lot more sense than him being played by a white actor. If there ever is another Hollywood adaptation of Dragon Ball, there would be no reason not to have Goku be Asian. Him being an alien is a weak counterargument, especially when that wasn’t even establi...

I agree with AliTheZombie that I don't think Shin is interesting enough to be a co-lead. He's a pretty thin character. That's not a bad thing, he's FUNCTIONAL i.e telling the heroes of Majin Boo, expanding on the lore by being the Kaio above Dai Kaio. He's useful for narrative purposes, but that doe...

Considering Future 18 is still killed by Trunks with no hesitation, I’d say no. Please forgive me I am a bit dumb, but this "no" part what does it mean? It's not clear to me. The titular question of the therad is if the editor veto kept her alive but saying no, doesnt make sense for this ...

Vhanos wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 1:30 am You know that episode when Piccolo destroyed the spaceship to stop Gohan in his ape form a second time? Was that Goku's spaceship when he came as a child? I know it's filler, but whatever.

Yes it was. And because it happened in filler the anime ignored that to follow the manga

But for some reason Justin is hated on and yet Mutato was missed cast but nobody says a word. The film's casting was such a minor issue compared to the story/plot. Goku- Main character also Hollywood has a big problem with overrepresenting white male leads even in stories that don't call for it. Me...

Dragon Ball Evolution is only talked about with anime fans or bad movie buffs. The movie flopped on its original release and was quickly forgotten by most movie goers. Even the 2010 Last Airbender movie is remember more from the casual audience than DBE. Do bad movie buffs even care about Dragon Ba...

I've always felt that the only thing that seemed better in the original outline was the backdrop being 18 and Krillin's wedding. Everything else seemed pretty lame. Toei already did the plague of evil spreading twice in their original Dragon Ball content, revealing the Saiyans were possessed by this...

If there's ever going to be another attempt of live action adaptation (which will most likely won't happen for a VERY long time if not ever), casting of Goku's ethnicity shouldn't matter, especially for movie made outside of Japan, particularly America. I NEVER understood why people were so upset w...

Akira Toriyama could’ve indeed been there from the start.

We know he wasn't, we know what the original pre-Toriyama outline for BoG was and everything

Kale really isn't like either version of Broli, and I think that a lot folks tend to miss that, which does a disservice to her.

Yeah, I actually give a shit about Kale

It's not that I'm opposed to new DB content, I like BoG (movie version) and Super Hero. While I do enjoy both of these as well for the most part and think they're the only revival material strong enough to justify the revival's existence at all, my core position has always been "We never neede...

I think it depends on when Toriyama decided 18 would be the Future Mrs.Krillin. After he decided 17 and 18 wouldn't be the big bad anymore? Before? Pilaf (if he counts), Piccolo (through reincarnation), and Vegeta all survived their stint as big bad so there's a precedent. We could of had a parallel...

Another example would be goku magically knowing how to read minds in the namek arc. Way back in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc it was established disciplined martial artist can read minds as seen with Roshi reading Nam's. I don't see an issue with Goku doing the same. Chi pretty much amounts to &qu...
