It's not like anybody expected much after seeing the quality of the TV series.

If I were them I wouldnt show him at all until the release - show action clips and such of course but only show him in the shadows or the outlines of his body.

The film's gotta be pretty bad if they're trying to hype Piccolo like this.

Don't let Velasa see you rip Piccolo like that, the results could be potentially fatal

It's not so much that I am insulting Piccolo as I am the fact that they're trying to hype the look of a character fans should know what he'll look like.

But it's live action, and that character is what many fans want to see in live action form, right? They want to make us wait. And of course it shouldn't be terrible, because many of the cast members are impressed with it and that's all that matters(lol That was the biggest lie I've ever told.). But seriously, the live action Piccolo should look similar to his anime counterpart.

I've got the same feeling about it half the time as well. Them hiding things from us doesn't do good- it just makes us worry that it's going to suck. But after listening to Marsters and how he really seems to care about the character, I think I have to trust he'll look alright.

Of course, I'm very particular on my Daimaou men. I want to see some antennae, and black or red eyes. But my god I just want to see Daimaou and hear him and know for sure that he's going to be amazing and respected in an otherwise terrible movie.

Anyone seen the newest clip with Jamie Chung talking about DragonBall again? The way she describes ChiChi is completely out of character but we already knew that. Anyway, it's confirmed Gyumao won't be showing up in this movie.

I listened to that last night. I can't imagine Chi-Chi as an "It" girl.

I can imagine her TRYING to be one (ala Movie 8 and her "we're a normal couple, really!" act that put Goku in a suit and tried to get him to lie about his "hobbies") but I can't see her actually succeeding. Her temper is too short, and she's way too gung ho on education to be any further than "class representative".

Somehow, I managed to cringe through that.

Even so, Dragon Ball Chi-chi (before giving birth to Gohan) was perfectly content to being carefree, and didn't have the short fuse she gets under the stress of overbearing motherhood. I can't see Dragon Ball Chi-chi caring anymore than I can see Goku. But, when you put a couple retards who live in the woods into high school, and cut Kuririn, all bets are off.

Of all people, why would they cut Krillin. You'd think they'd cut someone like Yajirobe.

SSJ2bardock · Post by **SSJ2bardock** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 4:00 pm

That was a terrible move, Kuririn is arguably the second most important character in dragonball and they left him out.

Because Kuririn isn't marketable somehow?

It's because he doesn't have a nose, isn't it?

I think Kuririn's WAY more marketable than Yajirobe. The lack of Kuririn is one of the bigger things that upsets me about this movie.

Well, enjoy the Watchmen trailer at least.
What Watchmen trailer? I saw Dark Knight this weekend and didn't see a trailer. Although, Dark Knight has me worried about future comic book movies.

wow youre insane, there were parts i didnt like about it, but it was a very solid movie.

It's the one thing I'm most upset about.

How hard is it to find a short, Chinese guy who knows martial arts, and will let you shave his head?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but where/when was it announced that Yajirobe would be in this movie? Is this from a legit source, or is this merely a rumor that people are assuming to be factual? If legit, then any word on who's playing him?

Post by **Herms** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 4:51 pm

I don't think it has been announced, as far as I know.

While we're at it, has it also been confirmed that Kuririn isn't in the movie? I mean, sure, we got some news about Goku having some sort of movie exclusive buddy at school, but that doesn't mean that the guy is Goku's only friend, right?

For all we know, Fox could be preventing any news about him from being leaked, kinda like how they're doing with Piccolo's look.

It's quite possible that they're leaving Kuririn for a sequel. Makes sense to me, considering that - I would think - the movie will end with Goku continuing/beginning to train under Roshi.

If its revealed Kuririn IS in the movie, I will regain some hope for it.
Kuririn's too important a person to Goku (especially during this arc; because that's who he's avenging) to leave out.
