Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

[MarcFBR]

I'm leaving this to Hujio... I'd be inclined to ban... but that's never been the preferred endpoint of a staff action on the forum... Just ignore it and move the conversation back to the proper topic until Hujio decides what he's going to do.

Google Translate says it's milk pudding.

I have no idea what that is. Still this looks kinda gross.

Looks kinda gross...

That doesn't even resemble ice cream. Looks like 2 pieces of marshmallow with chocolate sauce for eyes

[TheMightyOzaru]

Eh, I'd eat it.

[Insertclevername]

Kind of reminds me of that 80's movie The Stuff. And if you've ever seen that, you'd stay away from that Boo ice cream.

[pappy]

I believe the site has it listed as majin boo's milk pudding.

You're a brave soul

You're a brave soul

What I really want are those Ssj Goku fries .

Yes me too, I want to eat those Super Saiyan fries. Perhaps by doing so i'll become a Super Saiyan .

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'd try the ice cream/milk pudding/whatever too. It doesn't look all THAT bad to me.

I'm still laughing about the Pafu Pafu food item myself. That's just perfect.

[Patient-mental]

Some people have to learn to believe the facts - backed up with almost un-refutable evidence - over misinformation, rumor and speculation.

Oh well, ignorance is bliss, i guess.

That milk-pudding...it looks like it's got some kind of consistency that's somewhere in-between whipped-cream and gelato.

The question is this - is there anything about the movie that you didn't like particularly? Most of it sounds amazing to me, I can't wait to see it, and I can tell you really enjoyed it, but I'm curious if there was anything in particular that didn't sit well with you either.

Well, that'd be the balance of gags and seriousness. I was very satisfied with very Toriyama-ish gags, but the story makes the shift to seriousness all of a sudden, which may confuse audiences. Also, some plot holes like Shenlong granting only one wish felt a little bit uncomfortable, and Z warriors should have done more than being beaten with a single attack. My biggest complaint is that it has NO KIKUCHI MUSIC.

[Ringworm128]

I'm guessing they use music similar to the scores heard in EOB and PTETS (2010).

Nah, it's a completely new composer.

This can easily be changed once the DVD's out. Can't wait to place this over every fight scene:

EDIT: By the way, if there is a sequel coming...

Just gonna pop in quickly to make one outrageous prediction:
Battle of Gods will contain a sequel hook for 30th Anniversary Movie.

Than bitches, I called it!! Coming 2014...Birusu: Second Coming and then 2015: Bio Birusu!

Wait a second, they never did fully explain the connection between Freeza and Birusu if there even was one. Are they only linked through the Super Saiyan God prophecy?

I see, thanks for the reply. That is a little disappointing that they weren't able to smooth out the transition from comedy to action a little better, I wonder if they just didn't have enough time to for some reason or another? Based on a few of Toriyama's comments, they had already started some basic plotting for the movie before he even came in, and it was darker than he liked, so he put in some of his jokes to lighten it up...and instead of making it all work better, they just kind of let them get put in where they lay, from the sounds of it.

As for Shen Long's wish, that'll be a little weird too, but then again, I didn't even realize he could potentially grant three wishes by this point in the story either, so I'm hazy there anyway apparently. And as for the Kikuchi score, that is disappointing (especially if you mean there's also nothing done by the new composer that's based on stuff Kikuchi did), but I'm still excited to hear what this new guy can bring to the table.

The thing that's going to irk me the most I think is the background people still not being utilized apparently. Couldn't they have finally done something where we had some kind of minions in the movie that are tough, but only so much so that Kuririn and the others each get a shot at glory? That's all I'm asking is something like that, Toei, I'm not asking for them to suddenly be relevant again.
