My first movie poster fake:

Awesome! Looks like a DVD cover from a B-movie!

Dude, WHY did you post that!

You scared the living shit out of me, I thought it was real for about 30 seconds!

Not bad. Goku's hair should be spikier, though, and I'd have used orange for the title instead of white.

But otherwise, nice. (Isn't it convenient that James Marsters has already played a character with a funky forehead?

)

I got the example well enough, so lemme see if I can make another one for you non-HP fans.

Let's say that Bruce Wayne's parents weren't killed when he was a kid, but when he was already well into adulthood. Sure, it would still be a pretty bad experience, but I'm sure his psyche would be um... "mature" enough to not let it get to him. We'd also end up losing all those years between his parent's death when he was a kid and now for any kind of long-lasting effect to build up inside him, so it'd be pretty weird for him to suddenly decide to become Batman straight off the bat like that.

Conclusion? Having Goku still alive when he's 18 only to have him killed off isn't gonna be the same as having Goku kill him when he was still a tyke, thus leaving him alone to fend for himself for 12 or so years.

I think we've finally found out why this movie Goku is considered "uncool" at his school.

I have to say it - maybe Goku just wanted to see if he was the only one with a Nyoibo or not.

Wait, I've got another anime example...

What if the Fourth Hokage didn't sacrifice himself for Naruto until Naruto was 18? Instead of growing up in a village where every hated and dispised him, and living completely alone, surviving off a diet of ramen and sour milk... He'd have grown up with parents that loved him, he never would've had a need to develop a personality that needed attention.

Now, if you still don't get it after Harry Potter, Batman, and Naruto... I'll try to think of another example where the death or absence of a parent-figure is the key, the starting point in the development of a hero's character.

The way things are shaping up, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just took the description off of Pojo.com and ran with it.

It does seem to be. While I'm not expecting it to be extremely close to the original, so far it seems to be devianting a lot from what could be concieved as 'normal'. SSJs with Piccolo Daimao? With all this, I'm half expecting Vegeta to make an apperance =P

Works for me.

This too... although you might have wanted to put a spoiler warning since they only recently confirmed that Yondaime was Naruto's father - even if most of us predicted it all along due to the hints dropped in the series.

Thanks for the parallel examples, folks!

-snip faux poster (fauxster!)-

Holy hickory-smoked horse buttholes in a cup! If Piccolo actually looked like that in the movie, I'd probably toss my cookies in the aisle! He looks f'ugly!

LOL, that Naruto thing has to be like the worst kept secret in all of Anime history. ^_^;

Why does that fake poster scare you? It makes the movie look better then it's really going to be, in my opinion. I'm still fully expecting Piccolo to not be green in this movie. I think he'll just look like Marsters up until the very end, when he may show his "true form" during the end of the final battle or some such nonsense.

Although piccolo is an alien and the bad guy in the beginning he doesn't have to be ugly. Well at least I don't think he is ugly for an alien

Is it going to be Piccolo daimao by the way, or his son?

They probably don't even know the difference.

Gah~!
Chow Yun-Fat as Kamesennin?! He's too good looking to play a perverted old man. They shoulda got someone like Yuen Wah to play the role. Western viewers already know who he is as the landlord from "Kung Fu Hustle".

Yes this fake poster looks even better than actual movie, I agree, but anyway it is horrible!

Wow, you can tell how the movie will look from a set photo featuring Chatwin in civilian clothing and just one car?

Will you teach ME how to do that?

King Piccolo wasn't exactly a good looking guy to begin with.
