Lets say that they decided to adapt Evolution into a TV series.
Would you watch it?
Option 2: If it were a TV series but paid much more respect to the source material (ex no Highschool for Goku etc) would you watch it?

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
No. Evolution wasn't bad because it didn't have the time to explain it's story and it's characters. They were already bad.
I would give a TV series that paid more respect to the source material a chance as I really like wuxia which is part of the reason I like Dragon Ball so much. But if there were an American television show based on Dragon Ball they would change a lot of things as they did with Evolution for mass American appeal. Either way it would be cancelled.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
I imagine I would watch it, even if it was bad (and let's face it, it would be). I can't form an opinion without seeing it, and as a Dragon Ball fan, I'd want to have an opinion on it just because it's related to Dragon Ball.
I can pretty much give the same answer for the second option.

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
They could turn it to a cartoon series and regarding the film DB Evolution it doesn't really make much sense as a TV series, anyway.
Napoleon Dynamite had a live action film and then an animated season one series with six episodes (cancelled, btw).

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
I'd definitely give it a watch a few times at least. I mean, it probably would be bad, but there is a small remote chance that it would be better than the movie was, if nothing else.
I mean, look at the American Godzilla movie. It wasn't DBE bad, but it was pretty bad for being a Godzilla movie. Then came along the cartoon continuation of it on Fox Kids, as a pretty solid toon that was much more true to the Godzilla vibe. I could see a similar situation happening here perhaps, but chances are it'd still be 'ehh' at best.

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
If it's bad enough to provide lampooning material--as much as I disliked the LAM it was terribly fun to poke fun at--then maybe, but if it's just plain boring then no.
I'm still kind of disappointed (and a little shocked) that they didn't shoehorn Vegeta in there; so morbidly curious about what they'd do to him. (I still think it's possible they would've made Vegeta female; especially after seeing ads for that new Sherlock Holmes series with female Watson.)
Nappa however; after how he took off in Abridged, I'm not sure I could take a live action Nappa seriously without expecting his TFS counterpart. XD

No. I'd actually feel saddened that there even was a series made.

People watch the dub, so why not?

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
Man, this is weird. I mentioned this in the chat room the other day, but I actually had a dream recently that there was an Evolution TV series. And in the dream I did watch it out of obligation (same as I did the movie), and I was considering writing weekly episode summaries for it. That's probably what would happen in reality too. But all I remember about the show itself is that it was similar to all those late 90s fantasy/action shows that tried to cash in on the popularity of Hercules and Xena (basically, people wearing warrior clothes and walking around forests all the time).

Re: Evolution TV series - Would you watch it?
Hell-to the-no.
I'd probly' read online about how they're butchering certain story-arcs, but I doubt I'd give the time to actually watch it.

The old dub is laughably bad.
