DBEvolution Reboot Rumor

You typically don't start adapting stories plunking down somewhere in the middle. Dragon Ball as a whole has a beginning, and it's likewise best for a movie series to adapt that beginning in some fashion.

I do not believe that the sequel Vegeta would as terrible as some believe, I actually enjoyed DB:E. I think the purists are just upset because they did not get their live action version full of silliness, not based on reality in any fashion.

By the way, have anyone seen this?

Who said that the story has to begin with Dragonball? This is a movie adaption they could begin it at GT and still produce a film of good quality (I am not saying DB:E was not as I stated before I actually liked it). They could also use a flashback or the scrolling script thingie we see in the Star Wars films.

No they are/were upset because it was not Dragonball in any real way.

Well how about a 3 hours and a half movie?
Like the lord of the rings start from DB and end with the saiyans arch for the first movie.
I don't know but I guess that will be great.

If done correctly, I don't think that would fit into one movie, even if it was 4 hours long, lol

not only that, but also confirmed a forthcoming trilogy.

Well, of course it will be a trilogy...
Man, someone put this "we're planning a trilogy" schtick out if its misery already...

I can already see the catchline for the second movie: "THE END BEGINS".
"Originality? Effort? We hardly bother for adults anyway, so kids? Ha!"

Well, Dragon Ball is a kids series... An adult oriented movie would be abandoning the spirit of Dragon Ball.

If this does happen, I hope the movies are at least 2 hours long.

I think what Olivier Hague meant was maybe a PG-13 movie, not an "adult" movie, which you correctly stated will abandon the spirit of DB. PG-13 would probably be the best option if they decided to go with Z and be faithful with the amount of fighting, blood and what-not, and also keep the silly humor intact, IMO. Hell, if the Spider Man movies can get a PG-13, why not DB?

Er... I know that. I was just lamenting the fact that, at this point, Hollywood might as well be ran by the AI of Pac-Man's ghosts. And it becomes even more sadly apparent when talking about movies aimed at kids.

My friends and I talked about how DB:E [catchy name...] was an entertaining movie but could benefit from a reboot a few years down the line. I hope that this rumor is true and that it does happen. I think that Dragonball has the potential to be as big of a release as Transformers or G.I. Joe, but with Fox at the helm... Ugh...

If theres a reboot. James Marsters wouldn't be Piccolo anymore! How heartbreaking would that be for him haha. If theres a reboot we won't see vegeta till were OLD! Heck what if we die in an accident? Well never ever see Vegeta on screen! They can just make the sequel 10 times better and i know they can. There can still be a possibility the reboot might be worst even though evolution was bad itself.

Hey! While we're at it, how about in the reboot we make Goku have a crush on Chi-Chi and have him skip a feast to go to a party! The only thing that would make it better would be having Linkin Park do the soundtrack!

EDIT: Sorry, that was kind of a dick move. But it's just how I see it when people mock the fact that Dragonball has lots of colors and a few animals. I mean, really. Go watch Batman or something if you want gritty crime drama.

A lot of people might not like it but from a marketing stand point this would be for the best. They might as well jump right into what the average fan wants to see anyway.

Actually, I would take that over Linkin Park.

Really, Linkin Park mixed with Dragonball irks me about a million times more than the dub music. Yes, even more than that stupid repetitive Perfect Cell theme that they played for what seemed like the entire fucking Cell Game.

Heh heh...actually, so would I thinking about it.

I believe you're exaggerating, it was only played 34 times.

I actually like Linkin Park, they need something fresh and relevant instead of the Hanna Barbera stuff everyone seems found of on here.

Not that I don't have a soft spot for Linkin Park, but it's hardly "fresh" or "relevant" at this point in time, and it would never suit DB in a million years.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 3:18 pm

There's very few things that make for worse BGM for DragonBall than Bruce Faulconer's stuff, but Linkin Park is definitely one of them.
