Dragon Ball: Evolution- Speculation and Discussion

So, people _did_ go "Gah, wtf?" over Table...
... and if random extras are needed, DB (especially stuff before Piccolo) has a ton of 'em.
L'unch, random villagers, Rabbit gangstahs, a bunch of Budokai characters (finalists and otherwise) (a couple of whom got filler episodes that added more extras), some random pandas, Sno, Upa, Bora, random people Oolong terrorized, ... Penguin Village (XD), filler people T'en and Chaozu scammed, whoever the heck Shura the filler demon kidnapped, random extras from the movies...
(... most of these are not animal-people, and many take things more seriously than Goku, who usually winds up saving them just because he's Goku. XD ).

Ain't that the gosh-darned troof.

So who else thought that Japanese Dragonball teaser was awesome?

Yes. Drogonball Evolution is much more awesome when they don't show any scenes from the movie.

Sorry if this has been posted already. I'm too lazy to check through all these pages.

All I can say is..."Uhg...Bulma does not KICK ass. She CHEWS OUT ass."

"Justin Chow".

I really really love how enthusiastic the cast has been.

The highschool segment of the film is ridiculous.

So is the original manga. But that's what makes Dragonball...Dragonball

There's a difference. I Love Lucy is funny...Sam Kinison is also funny. But you wouldn't want a remake of I Love Lucy done in the Sam Kinison style of comedy (He's VERY vulgar for those who have never seen him).

So, Rule can be heard in its entirety. Having listened to it a couple of times, I actually really liked it. Sounds like something that would fit the movie and is still a really awesome song. It's no GAME, but it's certainly up there.

Gozar · Post by **Gozar** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:27 pm

I didn't like the song at all. It was just so stereotypical J-pop. It didn't sound like a DB song.

DBZOceanHD · Post by **DBZOceanHD** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 5:32 pm

No, you're right Gozar. It's not the Dragonball we know. But the movie isn't really following the conventions of Dragonball either. It's something different altogether, which is fine. No, it doesn't have the feel of the Anime. From what I have seen of the movie, it has the feel of the movie, though.

I would be interested to hear a translation of the lyrics.

She said "...and try not to kill Chow Yun Fat and Justin Chatwin in the process." She was talking kind of fast, but still...

If that new French trailer is any indication; that means this movie's going to be dubbed in a good number of countries' native languages.

I have to agree that "Rule" doesn't sound like a Dragon Ball song. It's not a horrible song, (It's semi-decent; can't see myself mp3-playering it though) but it seemed way more fitting to maybe a mecha anime, or something angsty.

That Rule song is pretty decent. I like the slow parts more than the "metal" parts, but over all its' pretty good.

From the French trailer:

Could this be the oozaru of the movie? I certainly hope so. Beats that fish-reptile thing any day...

MisterFlashdude · Post by **MisterFlashdude** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 6:40 pm

Let's see... A quick comparison of the only two things people claim it could be...

The skin coloring isn't really right for either. Though it is the same nasty shade of gray that the fish monster was.
Both Oozaru and Shenron have entirely red eyes, so the pretty blues seem a bit off for a monster. Note that Shenron also has hair to the side of his eyes, though the hair in the trailer's eye comes down to the brow.

Also note that the eye opening occurs as the Dragonballs are swirling, followed by a scene of the Dragonballs hitting the ground.
Incidentally, the first glimpse of Chatku's red eyes came in the exact same location, between the swirling Dragonballs, followed by them hitting the ground.

Earlier hints at Chatku's "Oozaru" form definitely had red eyes. (1 2)

I'd say it's most likely Oozaru, with the eyes changing colors after his rage subsides. Slightly less likely is a new monster. Even less likely than that is actually Shenron.

The french spot didn't have the updated effects from the domestic trailer.

I'd say it's most likely Oozaru, with the eyes changing colors after his rage subsides.

IMO it'll be the last shot of Goku's transformation, with him 'waking up' and having his blue eyes turn to red.

Onikage725 · Post by **Onikage725** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 6:56 pm

Agreed. And the coloring is more fitting for a "realistic" take on a giant ape (calls to mind a were-gorilla, for example).

Piccolo revealed.
