Hey, it's all Dragon Ball in the manga, man. :D

Really, is there anything wrong with them wanting to make a good action movie? Stuff with Pilaf or the Red Ribbon Army isn't going to make an exciting movie. They're just cutting to the good fights.

Skipping to the Piccolo fight isn't a problem with me. They skipped to the RRA in Path to Power and I love that movie! I just don't want a Dragonball movie that feels like 90-minute long ad for the Orange Bricks. Right now, I'm skeptical that it'll be anything more than that.

At least I have enough faith that it won't be a 90-minute long ad for Puke-Green Bricks.

Because my thread on SHH was closed for no reason:

Anybody else worried about pronunciation as I am?

If they can pronounce "Kamehameha" and "Gohan" properly they'll be years ahead of a large portion of the dub.

Luckily, Chatwin hasn't learned the Kaio Ken yet.

It's not like FUNi themselves are making the movie or anything. I'm not too worried about that kind of stuff..

Yeah, but who knows what sources they're using, what language they're looking at said sources in, and if they're catching any of the errors?

They might be like, "Well, he says Kuh-maya-maya so its obviously that."

I'm not worried about it, though.

Man, am I the only one who actually likes the Red Ribbon Army?

Do mean "Gohawn"(correct) and "Gohaan"(incorrect)?

No. I like that arc, too.

If by "Gohaan" you mean they pronounced "han" as in "hand" then, yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Nope. That's my favorite arc. I think one 12 year old vs. millions of soldiers, giant robots, and the world's greatest assassin is plenty exciting.

I think we should all be happy that they didn't do the recent trend in video game adaptations of changing the lead to a girl (Resident Evil, Silent Hill).

Look it's Gokina played by Abigael Breslin!

Um, when does the dub pronounce Gohan like that?

Yeah. they've always gotten Gohan right.

I could have sworn the Kamehame Ha's had improved, though...

Watch the first couple episodes of the Canadian dub of Dragonball Z. Some of the cast gets it right, some of them don't. It irons out pretty quickly, though.

Only time I've ever heard "Kuh maya maya" is when they do them really fast. And in those instances it's just because of the speed. Most of the time they seem to do it right, far as I've noticed. But then I don't really give crap how they say it, long as they don't call it "Magic Wave".
Stuff with Pilaf or the Red Ribbon Army isn't going to make an exciting movie.
The RRA would have been an excellent place to start, really. Hordes of soldiers to fight through always makes for good action. And since they seem to be making Bulma a big weapons person (along the lines of some of her cover shots) it'd give her more stuff to shoot at. :)

Agreed. Love that arc much more than some of the later ones.

I agree, as much as I can't stand the horrible, terrible hair they gave Chatwin, at least Goku is still a man.


If the movie changed him into a girl, I would bet money that Vegeta would've turned into her love interest in the sequel.

That prospect makes my brain all... explodey. However, I do agree with what you said. And now I am suddenly grateful for at least one aspect of this movie.

They still say it the old way when talking about it, I believe (as opposed to performing it in a battle sequence), except that they pronounce the "h" instead of the old "y sound.

No, I like it quite a lot. But it certainly wouldn't have any place in the kind of movie they're trying to make. A lot of the Red Ribbon stuff was still Toriyama just making gags. The serious martial arts portion of the series didn't really start until the Piccolo stuff.
