I love Dragonball to death but I know that there's no way Goku can take Superman.
Cell Games Goku and later could walk all over the current Superman. Pre-Crisis Superman would smack SSJ4 Gogeta around like a fly, though.
Anyway, since the topic has come up. I hate it when people bash something that isn't out yet for stuff it wont have.
Simply, because it just isn't Dragonball.
Looks Dragonball to me.
Piccolo is a human, instead of a demonic anthro slug.
He's not human.
Mai is now Piccolo's lackey instead of Pilaf's.
She already was, in a sense. She, Pilaf, and Shuu temporarily worked for Piccolo while he was gathering the DBs. The movie is just expanding on that element. Big deal.
Goku and Chi-Chi apparently have a sex scene.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
That's the dumbest complaint against the movie I've ever seen. There isn't one. There wont be one.
(If you remember, there was very little kissing even in the manga and shows.)
Toriyama's not good with romance. And I think he's said he's embarrased writing it. Hence why it's not in there a lot.
Goku is an emo high school student.
Goku goes to a school, so? He's not emo, he's just unpopular. Unpopular =/= emo.
There's no Krillin.
So?
This is just what I'm getting from the casting sides that were released. Goku is an unpopular high school student, which makes no sense, because Goku never went to school in the series.
Yeah, so? Grandpa Gohan was dead by the time Goku went on his first adventure. Mai could never shape shift. Piccolo only had a handful of minions. It's a
movie adaptation of the series. It is not, nor was it ever intended to be, the manga, word for word, pannel for pannel, acted out on a movie screen. Deal with it.
About the sex scene, in the casting sides, it says something along the lines of "Goku and Chi-Chi's mutual attraction heats up at the tournament" or something like that, thus, in my eyes, implying that theres a sex scene there, which, as I said, would definitely be a major malfunction, what with the lack of a lot of displays of affection in the entire series, including GT.
Goku and Chi-Chi are one of the couples that do get a good number of scenes showing affection. Goku spinning Chi-Chi around after recovering from the heart virus comes to mind. And several times in the Buu arc. And let's not forget all the times with Videl and Gohan~
Also. That statement = sex scene to you? Say what? You need to get your mind out of the gutter, my friend. There's a million ways that could go, none of them involving sex.
I never even considered it could even remotely imply a sex scene and I'm the *counts* 3rd most perverted person here.
And the Piccolo thing states that he is a part of a race of humanoid ninjas who were supposed to work with the Saiyans to take over the universe.
.....
Are you sure you even read the real and official information for the movie? I mean, really, really, really sure? Becuase I have no idea where you're getting this nonsense. First of all,
humanoid =/= human. Every alien race seen in Dragonball, from Namekians to Freeza's men (and Freeza's race too) were
humanoid.
Secondly, it was never said that the Nameks or the Saiya-jins worked together to take over anything. It said that Piccolo tells Goku it is 'his destiny' to help him. That implies nothing more than Piccolo knowing Goku's a Saiya-jin, IE a violent warrior race that conquers planets (just like he's doing on Earth, would you look at that!) and that it's in his nature to help him, not to fight against him.
Thirdly, it never says that Piccolo, or the Namekian race as whole, were ninjas. It says that Piccolo has an army of 'Namekian ninjas' at his command. It doesn't say that these 'Namekian ninjas' are anything more than Nameks in name. A clan of humans that worship Piccolo could call themselves Namekian, doesn't mean they are.
One: The Namekians were a peaceful race, aside from Piccolo Sr. and Slug.
And nothing about the movie says it shall be different there.
Two: Goku never found out about his Saiyan heritage until the start of Z, and that wasn't from Piccolo at all. It was revealed by Raditz.
I repeat,
movie adaptation. Besides, who the fuck cares who tells Goku he's an alien? It's not like it matters in the end. Everyone already knows.
Three: THEY'RE F*CKING ANTHRO SLUGS! NOT HUMAN NINJAS!
And Piccolo is neither a ninja nor a human. And we don't know if his underlings are Namekians in more than name. Hell, they could just be his demon like spawn, which is neither human nor Namekian. So yeah, that complaint is completely invalid.
Just so many things wrong with this movie... Thats why the majority of fans hate it already.
Just because those
against the movie are louder than those that are either for it or are holding their tongue until it's out doesn't mean they're the
majority.
One: It'll be a box office success, and people who have no idea about the "true" Dragonball series will love it. The same people who made fun of DB and it's fans, no less.
That's just stupid. Tell me. Would you go out and watch a movie about something you've never heard of, enjoy it, and completely ignore what it was based on? No. Also, I can assure you, there will be plenty of pre-existing Dragonball fans that will enjoy the movie as well.
Two: It'll bring about a huge influx of manga and anime based movies, much like Spider-Man did for comic book movies.
Been there, done that, you're behind the times.
Well, since this movie seems to be based off of the Piccolo Daimaio arc, it needs to have Krillin in it. Correct me if I'm wrong, as I haven't watched DB in awhile, but doesn't Krillin die for the first time in that one, which pretty much pushes Goku over the edge?
Krillin was also in the RRA arc, and Upa's father, Bora, was the one killed there. And yet, DB movie 4 did the RRA arc without Krillin, Upa, Bora, Tao, or Baba. Grandpa Gohan is taking Krillin's place for the 'close friend gets killed' role. That was Krillin's only role in the arc, so why would they include him? Especially scince those who've never seen the manga or anime wouldn't know (and 10-20 minutes wouldn't be enough time to establish) that Goku and Krillin are the best of friends. His death would be meaningless to the average movie-goer.
ChiChi in a sex scene.
Problem is where?
Good point.
It just isn't DB. Yeah, its great for pervs, but for me, and a good bit of the people I know? Not cool. Not cool at all.
Uh, you're the only one jumping to the conclusion that it has to be a sex scene.
Mary Jane wasn't introduced in the comics until Peter was in college, and they didn't hook up until the Black Suit story arc in the mid-80s.
