Dragon Ball: Evolution- Speculation and Discussion

The sequel would be called Dragonball Reborn, eh?

Evolution and Reborn don't really...have anything to do with the actual films.

Seriously, how in the world could think you Goku is seven during the Piccolo Daimao fight? Not only is his age stated as fourteen in the very second episode of the series (Yes, it's wrong, but it's enough to ensure that even people who've never seen past the second episode knows that he's not seven), but... well, think about it. The Piccolo Daimao arc takes place four years after the series begins. Did Goku seem like a three year old at the beginning of the series? Did Goku seem ten at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, 15 at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z? It's wonderful that this movie's being produced by people whose knowledge of Dragon Ball seems roughly equal to that of your average soccer mom.

Stop bitching. Marsters was making a generalization. Goku's height barely changes throughout Dragon Ball; I would say he only gets a little taller by the Daimao arc until his full-on growth spurt into adulthood.

Seriously, think about it. You are nitpicking at something said in passing by an actor, not a producer, that hardly means anything. You don't have to worry. In case you can't tell, Chatwin's a wee bit older than 7. There's no argument here. Go bitch about Goku's personality or the Dragon Balls' origins. Y'know, something where you might actually have a valid point for having a vehement attitude for it.

The reason why Chatwin did not go along with it is because maybe Foxx told him not to, yeah it is stupid but I have seen interviews where the Movie Studio forbids certain actors from saying certain lines and even body motions.

Just saw the trailer, and that actually looks pretty good.
Better than most games based on movies look, anyway.

I loved the conference just because it was more of a 'Let's praise Chow because Roshi is the main star of the movie and he's a wonderful guy' conference. It was like they were specifically trying not to mention the live action movie.

Park also seems pretty relaxed. Chatwin giving general praises all round and Rossum telling us to watch for Goku's Kamehameha almost makes me scared.

Okay. Goku's personality... yeah, that's annoying. And his origin, motivation, abilities and appearance. And don't even get me started on him riding a scooter, using hair gel, getting his Nyoibo broken, and having strawberry fantasies about Chi-chi, and screwing over Gohan to go to a party, and tussling with bullies, and highscool,and "the first rule is, there are no rules",and no tail, a lame looking Oozaru form... and...
Oh God, make it all go away...

And yeah, the Dragonballs' origin is off... in addition to giving Goku visions, needing a rock castle to work, and... ever, ever being referred to as "Promethium Orbs"...

So, let me know if we're allowed to bitch about anything else. It's so rare to actually have permission.

You can't bitch about trivial bullshit like an actor not knowing a character's age.

I have spoken.

But seriously, it's one thing to have a complaint about the movie, it's another to complain about a misinformed remark made by an actor that isn't even IN the movie, and if you're seriously defending him, you're a goddamn idiot. I think the only reason I don't hate this movie is because of shit like this.

I have spoken again.

Nyoi-bo gets broken?

When does that happen!?
*Likes the nyoi-bo*.

But yes, agreement to everything listed about Goku in the above quote. All of that.

I'd like to throw in minor "Goku in argyle?!" complaint to the list too. Though the hair gel is far, far worse.

It's a forum. The response was... on-topic, typed appropriately, a direct response to a quote concerning the movie in the thread about the movie... He was a bit rude, but so was your reply, so I think it's all gravy...
I don't see the problem here.

Does it matter? Goku never uses it in DBZ anyway.

It doesn't matter as much as the other stuff in the list that I quoted, so no. Not really.

The other stuff on the list bothers me far more.

Strangely, I'm not bothered at all by the PG rating though. I kind of expected it in a way.

The truth to that statement is hilariously disheartening

That's true the threads are for discussion but I don't understand why people always have to be so snarky and sarcastic about everything.

And we don't understand why you don't have to be. Live and let live if they're not breaking the rules.

Does no one have anything to say about King Kai being in the CD track list?
