No, the retellings were made based directly on the movies, as you can see here. It seems Toriyama did provide some concepts, like the book you mentioned (and this is the only thing we know that came from him), but this does not mean the retellings replace the movies.

Well if the Namekian Book of legends connects to the movie then maybe, by extension, Piccolo will have a somewhat important role.
Now the only Dragon Ball thing until December I'm going to be thinking about as a Piccolo fan is a possible connection to the Namekian Book of Legends for Piccolo :lol:

Piccolo being here definitely does make me more hope than usual.

Piccolo deserves some love, he's been sidelined too many tiems recently between the U6 and ToP arc.
btw, you still rocking that ''Temporarily Banned'' there :D :D You're marked for life

Vegeta looks way better in dark. That blue never did him any favors.

Let's all hype up Piccolo just to be disappointed. :lol:

The title can confuse some people so it has a little benefit I guess. :thumbup:

Piccolo will probably end up in basically a filler fight for the movie.

They literally replace them. If not, Bills would have been vastly overpowered by Gokuh, since he needed to use the 70% of his strength to defeat SSGod Gokuh. And that's one of many examples of things that have happened after Fukkatsu no F that would not fit within the movies continuity. Those links only say that the arcs are based in the movies, which they obviously were. That has nothing to do with my point.

Your assumption would be correct if we had had U6 tournament, Trunks arc and ToP in both movie and TV format. But we haven't, so, if 2018 movie is taking place after the ToP, is going to take place after the only one we have: the series. Expecting Tarble in this movie is the same level as expecting Bojack. (Please, save a caption of this, just in case Tarble does appear in the movie and you can rub this all over my face :D ).

Super and the movies are connected. Super did change stuff like Beerus’s strength but it’s basically the same.

We didn't get on GT, Movies, Super nor Heroes (where everybody gets a new outfit), so this means never and you should get over it already.

You relate that to Star Wars despite that being exctually how Gohan beat Cell and Bojack?
The only thing that comes to mind for comparison is Luke escaping the ship due Ben advices after becoming a Force Ghost.

I thought the time when Ben told Luke to go to Yoda and seek training from him. Now back to Dragon Ball, I hope that Piccolo just gets some good moments nothing else.

If we accept the change in Beerus' strength, we accept the change of omitting Tarble. If we choose what we like and reject what we don't, the conversation has no sense.

In a movie about Saiyans it's pretty obvious what role he'll have. People just setting themselves up again.

Agree. Everything under DBS should be treated as such. BoG and RF were under Z. DBS retellings and DBS movie under the same brand therefore you gotta treat them the same.

Hopefully it is indeed that dark and hopefully with Vegeta's darker gi they make his gi change colour of the aura of what transformation he's in SS/SSGSS.

And the fact that the retellings don't have Toriyama's finger other than the Namekuseijin book. Filler characters like Gregory appear, when he didn't back in Movie 14. Since there is no official source that says that I must consider the retellings "because the replaced the movies", one can pretty much stick with the movies just fine.

Yes Gregory appears in the animated version but that’s because he was present during Dragon Ball Kai. You can’t just remove characters. Since, Gregory didn’t appear in the comic and Movie 14, that means he’s not in the canon. He doesn’t appear in the Super comic. Does that mean the Super comic replaced the movies? The Super animated version cannot replace the comic, so what takes precedence? None does. It’s the same story but minor changes

Huh...Not entirely sure how I feel about the adjusted style. While the face received a welcomed improvement from the teaser poster, the over sharpness that's reminiscent of the Freeza arc doesn't 'click' with me as much as the roundness similar to the Saiyan arc.
Feels over Reals.

the fact that they are showing piccolo of all people this early shouldn't mean anything. He might get a decent role but I highly highly doubt it.

Certainly, this movie is about Saiyans. Showing Piccolo now (or much later) means nothing. Even if it weren't about Saiyans, Piccolo will never get his moment to shine outside of that one in Universe 6 saga in Xenoverse 2.
