But his voice will return, right?

Oho-ho, movie scripts are fun.
And wait - Freeza will have a change of heart on his deathbed!

Because.....

Freeza is actually Goku's mother, Bardocks ex-lover, and the mother of Begeta, Goku, and Turles.

Which means if they adapt the Cooler movies, Goku will have to kill his own Uncle!

Nah, Freeza is Goku's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. Obviously.

Only for the third film, "Goku and the King of Space Thieves".

Chatku: "Please please please come see our movie. We know you usually hate it when America remakes your classic properties...and Masako Nozawa laughed at us...and there was that weird-ass vague statement from Toriyama and--"

Rossum: "If you come see our movie, I'll come to your offices dressed as one of the Sailor Senshi."

Chatku: "Thank you, and good night."

Ah, that's when Goku finds out his father is the prince of all Saiya-jin.

For the record, any idea how they will be pronouncing Saiya-jin in it?

I would suspect "Saiyan."

Seriously. It's just a short promotion. I think he's trying a bit TOO hard to mock it now. It's starting to get a bit sickening...

Jappo, meet humor. Humor, meet Jappo

Yeah, but in the correct way (per standard English pronunciation), which is "SIGH-yan," or the incorrect pronunciation from the FUNimation dub, "SEI-yan"? I'm banking on "SEI-yan" because it's the more recognized pronunciation in the United States.

Yeah, I try to avoid being negative here, but I agree.

I just kind of get tired of negativity. I don't even report any new details on the forum I run anymore, as people just rag on whatever I throw to them.

MajinVejitaXV · Post by **MajinVejitaXV** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 2:07 am

People who are self-professed fans of the movie don't care for my sense of humor. I'm shocked, truthfully

DaizEX: Where any criticism about the movie, even completely harmless teasing about an awkward promo, will make people sneer at you like you sodomized their grandmother.

Ah, it's not so much you, personally.

It's just, I'm still new at this online fandom stuff. I guess I just wasn't prepared for the fact that people will find negativity in every aspect of the series.

And obviously the negativity is at its strongest here, with the live action movie, so I've just been getting a little tired with it lately.

Sadly, stuff like this always polarizes a fanbase. I think the problem arises from people taking jabs personally (i.e. - "He's mocking the movie, and I think it looks good, hence he's mocking me personally"). To me, I'll defend or criticize things quite a bit, but I rarely take/intend such things to be personal. I may question the way people think, but I don't outright assault them.

And obviously the negativity is at its strongest here, with the live action movie, so I've just been getting a little tired with it lately.

Don't look for it to stop anytime soon. Doubtlessly, the movie will bring an influx of new people who are just as passionate on both sides. The movie will be released, things will flare up, and if a sequel gets greenlighted the cycle will start anew.

The perils of being a fan, unfortunately. You've just got to learn to sit back and laugh at it basically.

Are you kidding? As a whole, Daizex has to have one of the worst overall attitudes towards the film I've ever seen. Defenders of it around here are the minority, if anything.

Honestly, what does that say about the film? Where people who welcome stunts like the Orange Bricks with open arms shun this? It's not a good sign, I'd say. Standards aren't insanely high here.

Plus, I've seen much worse negativity across the internet, internationally even. Granted, a good portion of those are the people who usually diss DragonBall to begin with, but when a forum dedicated to the love of a series still "has one of the worst overall attitudes towards the film," I'd say that's a pretty damning statement.

Just my opinion. And this from someone who liked Transformers, the Spider-man movies (except maybe 3), the X-Men movies (except maybe 3), Interview with the Vampire and several other adaptations that significantly deviated from their sources. To me, they didn't nail everything necessarily but I saw the capacity for enjoyment and wasn't let down for the most part. This film, on the other hand (to someone who worked from 18-23 to save about $4000 to import an insane amount of stuff including the entire anime, Kanzenban, Daizenshuu, CD's, games and whatever the hell else making more than a few people question his sanity with regards to his devotion to the series) doesn't have anything that remotely interests me. It just looks poorly made, and most people aside from James Marsters seem very lackluster about it. And honestly, I think James is just a cool dude who is hyped to be working his craft.
