Yea, but Goku's girlfriend could kick the bald short guy's ass. :lol:

Sike naw.
I thought it was a pretty good way of showing why Peter would turn to the black suit's power.
I see what you're saying and in retrospect it was a pretty good idea. But DragonBall doesn't have a "black suit". So in what way will the director go with this love story? Will it be done in a way that will satisfy the fans? Or will it just completely take over the plot?

If it makes ChiChi become one of whatever version of the Z Fighters exists, I am all for it. :)

And DB does have a 'black suit' - Super Saiyan. :twisted:

True, but I meant during this time period of the series. Back before we even knew what a Saiyan was (or a Namek).

Although I guess these million dollar FOX execs know what they're doing...

Well, you'll have to accept that Dragon Ball does have a ridiculous and rambling plot.
@Lavender Saiyan, I agree

@desirecampbell, I would never accpet that, probably our definition of "ridiculous" are not the same...
Because to me even something that represent error and apsurd, is a sweet side of DB in it's own way.

But I do agree with him in this - make another Pirates Of Caribian...
leave DB/Z alone...
DESTROY ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I stated in the other thread, fans have to stop taking themselves so seriously. I've been a fan of DB too long to really care what anyone else thinks or if they make fun. Let them. I'm confident enough in myself and can also recognize the faults the series does have, yet continue to love it. Like I said, end the "nerd rage" people! *considers making a banner with those words* :P

It most certainly does not. Just because people have super powers doesn't make it ridiculous...And rambling? Not in the least, the plot moves at a good pace, why do you think so many people love it? It's got great pacing and unlike what people may say, it's not predictable.

Hey, I'm with you on that...DB has it's obvious faults, but there's a reason multiple video games come out every year and the series simply never goes away.
