I,m a old school japanese fan and wow this movie gave me a real dragonball feel goosebumps,Vegeta is a good guy now.
And the movie feels like a begining of somthing grate the movie was full of clues for a new series, a new begining new powers.

South American sells for "Batalla de los Dioses" are breaking records. Pre-sells in Peru alone have reached over 11,000 tickets sold after 1 night. Picture 2 features a fan from a fan in Colombia waiting to buy his ticket. This might surprise a few here, but Dragon Ball is literally one of the biggest and most popular shows ever in South American history. It's almost a religion there, and that's not an exaggeration. I'm thrilled to see people so excited for it.

Yeah, I'd definitely like it if there was a new series with Bills as a prominent character throughout the series.

Actually we don't know, I hate cliffhangers... We'll see more movies before a new TV series. Could they really fit 120 episodes in a 3 year time frame? I guess they could if the pacing is slow but that's not dragon ball :lol:

That "inbetween" was on screen for a good 6/8 frames. Plenty of time for any normal audience member to notice how terrible it looks. And that vegeta drawing was definitely a key frame so there's no excuse there. I may have cherry picked the JSAT shots, but I still found it to be a tighter looking product over all. And even if we're not comparing it to anything BoG was wildly inconsistent. It's what comes from not having made a DBZ film in 17 years.

and then there's this brilliant cg action which looks terrible by any standard.

again, I enjoyed the movie. It just had some serious uggo in it.

I thought it looked okay. But it was kinda jarring to see that.. What was the point? You know?

And why is that? Goku got a x33 increase in Freeza arc, Bardock only needs a x9 increase at most for him to be able to turn Super Saiyan.
I like to think SSJ3 is merely a form that allows the user to maintain all there potential. What Vegeta did was unleash it all for a short burst so he didn't transform.
What are you talking about? We were talking about Bardock...
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

The CG Goku and Beers during the fight was kind of awkward, but it only really got to me on the backgrounds for some reason. Probably because of how slowly the rocks were falling and such. The part with them fighting went by so fast that it really isn't too noticeable unless you DO pause on it to look.

Yeah the whole rage boost thing from protecting family members seems a bit off since Vegeta notes in the Buu Saga that he already has a family to protect and he still can't best Goku. He was trying to figure out what he was missing.

But oh well it's just a movie.

More importantly, if Bills wakes up in 3 years, isn't that still before Uub? So that means there is more time for stuff to happen with him again.

I'm tired of his ugly ass orang...let me calm down. Goku should be wearing his Blue Gi. At least after this movie. He did turn God for like 3 minutes even iff he got his ass kicked until he wasn't a god no more. Point is. When did Goku get a new gi. I'll take a 5 minute animation just to show him over any new Canon(Debatable) material for DB.

Yeah please don't use "gay ass".

I kinda think he should have had it in this movie.

His blue gi? Why? I've never been a huge fan of that outfit and I don't think many prefer it over his OG gi.

Could be wrong though! Whattyou guys think? Should he premiere his blue gi next time around?

Also, seriously? "Gay ass"? As a gay man, I'm not just offended, but also annoyed. :\

UGLY ass. Is that better :mrgreen: . I thought he was wearing it when he was on King Kai's planet underneath his Work out clothes. WTF is with the movie and having character wear those fighting gi underneath their regular clothes. It's like they know something bad is going to happen. How the hell did Trunks and Goten hide their fighting gi?

Sorry I didn't mean like that. I'm known for using words differently. I didn't mean gay as in homosexual. I meant(Well IN Maryland...) gay as in stupid. Pretty much using it for something I don't like. I'm sorry. I forgot not everyone knows my wording like most of my friends do.

I really love his blue gi. I liked how it symbolized he was his own master. I always thought he wore the orange to honor Muten Roshi and the turtle school.

I wouldn't say I 'prefer' the blue outfit, but I do like it. And it would be pretty cool to see it make it's appearance in another film, and for us to see how and why he ends up switching to it, even if it's just a little reason. That said though, I can totally see why he didn't have the outfit in this movie - the first movie in almost 20 years, you're going to want your lead character to have his most iconic look, and in Goku's case that's his orange gi.

And agreed on the slurs. Seriously Goken, there's no call for any of that.
