How would you feel about a movie that...
Focused mostly on the non-saiyan fights. Like Yamcha, Krillin, Piccolo, and Tien.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It'd depend on the execution, really. I'd love to see a movie where they get more focus, but at the same time, there'd need to be some kind of reason. That's one of my issues with movies 10 and 11, other than it being more Broly. While it's nice to see some of the lesser main characters (though it's mostly Goten and Trunks who would become pretty major anyway) get to do things is interesting, but it leaves a really big question of why in the world nobody else can sense what's going on. So there'd just need to be some kind of reason for why Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and so on aren't doing anything to help.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
I think it would be a great idea but it will be tough to make if the movie is meant to take place after the end of the manga. This is why I think prequels are the way to move the franchise in more interesting directions. Few characters are relevant in terms of fighting after the Buu saga, so it will be tough to make a movie with the characters you mention unless somehow the movie is not all about fighting and I don’t see that happening because the franchise, for better or for worse, has become identified by its fighting component.
Kami is my co-pilot.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
Would I ever?
I would love to see new animation of the humans and Piccolo as main characters
I miss seeing them in action, I don't care what Toriyama says they deserve to be in the limelight again, same with Bardock.

The circumstances would have to be a bit contrived, (how do you keep the Saiyans from Deus Ex Machina the villains), but it would be worth watching.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It would be nice, but I'm not sure if it would ever happen since the humans in DBZ are not popular enough to support their own movie.

I would love, love, to see a future entry that focuses on the B-team dealing with some low-level threat.
It's one of the reasons I enjoy the Garlic Jr. arc and movie 11.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
Considering that movies and such have already portrayed the stronger humans as still being pretty much on par with the base Saiyans even after the Cell Games (Trunks and Tenshinhan were depicted as fighting pretty evenly in the Bojack movie, until Trunks goes Super Saiyan and then he just has no chance whatsoever), all you'd really need to do is have someone on the villain's side figure out a way to disable the Super Saiyan transformations. Suddenly the Saiyans no longer have that massive power advantage and somebody else can be the big hero for once.
It would probably work best if set between Cell and Buu--the Cell saga was the last time that Krillin and Yamcha really trained much, it was in the post-Cell-saga movie where Tenshinhan and (base) Trunks were shown as equals, and if you set it in this period there's no Goku to save the day and Trunks is also not around since he went back to his own time, leaving Vegeta and Gohan as the only Saiyan fighters. And we know Gohan focused on his studies during this gap and didn't train/fight much if at all, so pretty much the only Saiyan likely to get involved would be Vegeta.
Piccolo would probably end up taking Goku's "main fighter" role, of course, since he's the only "Super Saiyan-level" character who wouldn't actually be affected by the loss of Super Saiyan forms. So it'd probably turn out more along the lines of the earlier parts of the series, with Piccolo being the guy who has to beat the main villain and the humans (and possibly base-form-only Vegeta) all fighting weaker minions or teaming up to help Piccolo out in his fight later on. Since the movies tend to reuse aspects of the series, maybe it could end up with Piccolo winning due to the others doing something to distract the villain and give Piccolo an opening (like with Gohan vs. Cell, except... not a big beam struggle with Vegeta and the others distracting the bad guy with blasts, that'd just be too close.)

That is what the 2nd dragonball movie was about Krillin, Piccolo and Gohan, where the stars. Any movie with Mr Roshi, Krillin or Kami would be gold

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It would have to take place before the events of Z for it to make sense
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It could work pretty well if set either pre or post 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Or we could just get a sports movie about the Taitans. I'd watch that.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It would be great to see the lesser characters finally get some screen time. They've been really underused since the Frieza saga basically. But it would be really hard to do. They'd have to find a reason for the Saiyans to not be around and have a villain weak enough for the humans to handle. Or they could do a flashback type movie or something like when they simulated planet Vegeta on Kami's Lookout.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
That would be awesome .
When was the last time we saw any one of those guys win a fight ... their main purpose is to get beaten up to show how strong the villens are.
It would be cool if the other Z warriors learned Kaio-ken technic ,I mean Goku doesn't even use it anymore ...

Evil scientist finds way to replicate heart virus effects through a gas, incapacitating the Saiyans, leaves non Saiyan warriors to fight the enemy.
Thats all I got.

Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
It'd be enjoyable if it was done right, but has so much potential to be terrible. Either it'd need to be a lower scale so that the other characters have no reason to get involved or a very good reason why the stronger characters can't. Even if it could manage this I'd prefer they didn't. I don't see a movie starring such characters to bring anything but pandering, or any reason to use them over the prominent fighters we have now.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!
Re: How would you feel about a movie that...
I'd like to see a Piccolo-Gohan film in the 1 year wait for the Saiyans, and a movie like that for the humans.
