DBE Emporium - The Dragonball: Evolution Archive

Post by dragondyle » Tue Jan 19, 2021 9:50 am

Hey there! It's been awhile since I made a topic on here but I got something to share with you guys that I've been working on for a bit now: DBE Emporium, the Dragonball: Evolution Archive. It's very "work-in-progress" right now and I'm continually updating it but I really like where it's at to share. It's got news timelines, merchandise guides and a bunch more.

I don't need to go into how bad the movie is or how the fandom has perceived it. You all know that by now and this is just to celebrate it in a way, whether we celebrate it's infamy depends on the topic. However, DBE has been my biggest guilty pleasure since the it's release so it was actually a lot of fun doing this.

Also, if any of you have something that needs to be added to the archive, shoot me a message. Thanks for checking out and enjoy!

I'm really glad you took the time to put this together. I think it's important for newer fans who only see things like Evolution years after the fact to have a little more context about them. There's a very similar website for the live action Super Mario Bros movie, which I would say is very similar as an adaptation. I followed the news about this film very closely back in 08, and even though I had let it all slip from my conscious memory it all came flooding back after going through your archive. Is that necessarily a good thing? Debatable at best. It's just hard to believe it's been 12 years, and like many things it's so wild to see how the landscape of the franchise has changed in that time. We do have Evolution to thank for Battle of Gods in a way, so it's place in history is unquestionable. Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for the ideas! Will definitely write those at some point.

Thanks for your appreciation! I'm glad you had a blast from the past in a really odd way haha. I love that SMB movie site and I guess subconsciously I was influenced by that kind of archiving of weird things. Totally forgot that site existed actually!
