Re: "Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie"
To show Dr. Gero as an evil man rather than a cartoon supervillain who made evil robots.

Re: "Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie"
Wait people think the manga wouldn't be allowed to show more graphic scenes of Gero torturing 17/18 when he was converting them to androids? This is the same manga that showed Dr. Gero squeeze a random man's neck and choke him to death when he first showed up in the city. The anime did that off-scre...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
I doubt we'll see much of Piccolo's house. Probably 5-10 minutes of it tops at the beginning of the movie. Remembers me when baby Bra was shown in the movie and she got like 10 seconds of screentime. If you watched enough movies you'd know the things they showcase outside whoever the main villain is...

Re: I hope the next movie is the end of the Super era
This is a rather odd thread, you're posting as if "Super" only reflects the time period between DBZ and EOZ. If they make stories post-EOZ, they'll probably continue to use the "Super" name. I mean why wouldn't they? Why would we need a new subtitle?

Re: Welp, I’m done, never thought I’d say it, but I’m done.
People always made fun of transformations in DBZ after the Freeza saga and Super just dials that up to 11.
If you told anyone we'd have 4+ new Super Saiyan forms with multiple hair colors after Super Saiyan 3 in canon, it would have sounded like fanfiction.

Re: Torishima "Son Goku and Blooma should fall in love"
Had Toryiama decided not to have Yamcha fall for her in the first arc it could have theoretically happened. Chi Chi would have just been a one-off character most likely. Problem is if it did happen it would make Bulma look like a pedophile even though they're only 4 years apart due to Goku's small h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
I think they wrote themselves into a corner with Goku and Vegeta. They progressed their characters too far too fast in Super and there's almost no other place to take them unless they start surpassing Beerus (which they should by now) and the other Gods. It really does not make sense that new powerf...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
Is it weird the only art for characters we have is Goku (from the trailer), and Piccolo, Pan and Krillin? No art for Gohan? No art for Trunks/Goten?
Is that odd?

Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?
The irony of it all is the original Dragon Ball had Toriyama expose Japanese kids to different cultures. Nam was Indian, a lot of the townspeople in the Pilaf arc seemed to be based on Arabian culture (including the outfit Bulma wore in that arc), the Red Ribbon arc had Suno and had village based on...

Re: What makes Vegeta so sure there are no other Saiyans left?
It's the same thing as in Star Wars "Order 66" where we're told all the Jedi besides Obi-wan and Yoda were killed after the Clone Wars. And now years later we're finding out many other Jedi survived the purge like Ahsoka, and the characters from Rebels and the new videogame Jedi Fallen Ord...

Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?
Dragon Ball is loved because it's the ultimate story of good vs. evil. Muscle bound heroes go, "pow pow" and villains go, "aaaaarggghh" and that's why people like it. It's the ultimate power fantasy. Look at how many people self-insert themselves into Goku, Vegeta, Gohan or Picco...

Re: "Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie"
Dr. Gero should have been shown brutally torturing human teenage 17 and 18. I think a lot of people don't really realize what he did to them because it's all off-screen and 17 and 18 are portrayed as emotionless when they first debuted.
He basically raped and tortured them both.

Re: Should the Super manga and anime divert into completely different stories now?
There are 3 current canons: - Movie (Super): Which is Movies 14, 15, 16, and soon 17. Beerus, Return of F, Broly, and now this Superhero one - Anime (Super): The first two movies got an adaption with some slight changes here and there but are mostly the same story, and if the anime ever comes back I...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
The Pan GT hatred is that she's basically a "Scrappy Doo" expy, in the newly added kid sidekick character that detracted more than they added. All shows add characters like this over time, sometimes they work (arguably kid Gohan in DBZ), and other times they don't. Also I imagine back then...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
I wonder if doing a superhero story is the result of superhero movies being mainstream now. They will capitalize it with Gohan's life and Jaco will probably be involved too.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)
Kind of ironic but this movie is coming out almost 10 years after Battle of Gods in 2013. It's a really weird thought that it's already been nearly a decade since the Beerus movie revived modern Dragon Ball.

Re: Why did Tenshinhan never settle down and get married and raise a family?
Honestly Tenshinhan coming out as gay would probably be something most people would be fine with. I know it'll never happen (and honestly there's no point since he's a side character and not that important anymore), but it wouldn't contradict anything of the original manga run either.

Re: Should the Super manga and anime divert into completely different stories now?
Yeah but other characters not living on Earth can be overlooked. Nobody had to mention who Jiren is or where Hit was because it wasn't relevant to the story about Broly. Goku/Vegeta not fighting at full strength would be kind of odd, if they do fight, because they wouldn't be allowed to go beyond Bl...
