He's looking pretty yellow to me.

And what the hell is this thing?

I hope that's not a Dragonball :evil:

No antennae for Piccolo? :cry:


Now it's screaming "Power Rangers" AND "Legends of the Hidden Temple" to me. >_O


haha Same thought.


"Goku" actually kinda looks like a younger version of Legends' host too now that I think about it. XD

haha Oh God, I can picture that. OR better yet, Piccolo is collecting the Dragon Balls so Olmec can have a body and take over the universe himself!


Seriously though, Piccolo isn't even really green, he doesn't really resemble a Namek at all...

If anything he looks closer to Dracula than a Namekian.

They're probably afraid that green would look ridiculous. If that's the case, why can't they use grayish green. You know, the recent Leterrier's Hulk green, so it wasn't as in your face. I would forgive the color if they gave him the freakin' antennae because personally, I think he looks alright. Pale does not fit Piccolo what so ever, old or young.

Hmm, all he is really missing is the antenna and darker skin, and some how now he looks nothing like piccolo. You guys complain WAY to much. He looks fine and is honestly what I expected.

Think about this logically, the antenna would most likely looks really dumb in real life, and if he was too green he would look flat out stupid.

This is such a joke, it's like they took more queues from his make up when he played Spike in Buffy the Vampire slayer, than they did from Dragonball.

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

So now we have a Klingon villain rather than a Namekkian? Seriously, look at that again and tell me it doesn't scream Klingon.

This is going to be like "Magic Begins'' with a Kaio-Ken times 20 power up. No. It wasn't supposed to be like this! KAKAROTO!!!! :cry:

Fox is lighting so many asses on fire right now....

Also, yellow Piccolo. : (

*edit* Interestingly enough, the only thing that fits well in those stills IS Chatwin :shock: . IMO.

We complain too much? We've been patiently waiting for the villain of a movie that most of us are already extremely disappointed with and this is what we get!? What were you expecting, sunshine and happy times?

Piccolo would look so much better if he were green. I can get past his outfit, thats not too bad. He actually reminds me of voldemort from Harry Potter.

In that picture he appears to have divots in his head to simulate the antenna just not protruding.

That popped-collar of Piccolo's is reminding me of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. ^^;;;

Chatwin doesn't look that bad. He looks like he's getting ready for a Kamehameha wave. Emmy Rossum looks good. Chow looks good. Piccolo !? Nope. I don't know what the fuck I was expecting but this ain't doing it for me. Hey JAPPO! KABOOM!? What's up!? No no no. What's good!?
