That's the full color manga. It doesn't necessarily reflect Toriyama's preferred colors. They colored it based on the TV special, since it's the only piece of reference they had.

They're full going with TV Special, which means proper depiction of some stuff, like planet Vegeta, which is red. Not another Earth-like planet. Well, it's in the manga anyway. I don't recall the manga ever specifying the color of the sky of planet Vegeta. I could write essays about why I think the...

I find it strange that they haven't tried to incorporate more of the planet's architecture as seen in Minus/Broly. Specially the town. It's not like the original TV special explored much of the planet, so why not merge what they can?

It's going to sound weird, but this is what I associate the look and feel of GT with: you know how when you were a kid, there were those nights when you're just in your room, it's 6pm but it's pitch black outside, and you're doing some homework assignment that you don't want to be doing? That's how...

Yes he wasn't capable. Not being asked has nothing to do with it, because, if he really had it all ready to go in his mind, he could have started explaining it all in detail unprompted. No vagueness with "it is thought..." and other such statements. Just straight up direct statements dire...

Are you sure you're not talking about a promo video for the Level Blu-ray sets?

But this guy spent years developing series with George Lucas and became his alumni. What he told he does, is not exactly "what would George Lucas do", but asks himself "what that means and how it works in the Star Wars universe and how it connects to everything that already happened....

"Would Toriyama do this" is not really the best measure to go by. Plenty of other creators have contributed to Dragon Ball , many of them skilled directors, writers or animators. If we cared about only doing things that Toriyama would then we wouldn't get the directing of Ueda Yoshihiro, ...

Only in some aspects. One of the things that I have disliked in the manga are some of the creative choices, including some designs that, to me, are so un-Toriyama.

Shenlong calls him Lord Piccolo (Piccolo-Sama). Not Daimao (who killed Shenlong), not Kami-Sama (who created him?), but Lord Piccolo. He has a reverence for this version of Piccolo. Maybe it's because Piccolo was God, maybe it's because Piccolo is the strongest Warrior-type Namekian, or maybe it's ...

So we know that Saiyans grow tails but after trunks is born, we don’t see the grow tails, what’s the reason for this? See below. Toriyama almost hit the mark with the whole S-cell stuff, unfortunately he wasn't capable of connecting all pieces into one unified coherent explanation. He wasn't capabl...

Wait, did they finally get rid of "Guerreiros do Espaço"?

4. You don't know what the Planet Trade Organization was. ...what the hell is the "Planet Trade Organization"? Yeah, I had never heard of it before either. Reading that, what sprung to my mind was something akin to the Trade Federation from Star Wars, but Dragon Ball never had such a thin...

There's also the Bardock TV Special, which inspired Toriyama to visually reference Bardock's last stand in the manga (although the character itself had already been established to look like Goku). How common is it? It's not uncommon for artists to avoid doing what's been done by someone else, even t...

No, I own the movies on home video already.

Yes, however, Christopher Tolkien did an amazing job continuing his fathers legacy and expanding upon the wealth of knowledge by working to compile and edit new material to add to The Hobbit/Lord of the rings mythos. I think that as long as he loves and has an understanding of the series, it could ...

Bardock and the rest were still within the atmosphere of the planet.

Same when Goku fought Beerus.

The idea of Toriyama's family member carrying over the story may not always be a good idea. Bram Stoker's great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker wrote a official sequel to Dracula and look how that turn out. I agree. But even if it had turned out great, Dacre Stoker is not and can never be Bram Stoker. I'd...

My surprise is that we are actually getting the movie in theaters to begin with. And with a dub too.

Well, I hope this time we actually get a Blu-ray release, unlike what happened with Broly where we only got a DVD release.
