I no longer follow the series (mostly because he pretty much stole said series from its titular character) but I have an awful feeling that Sasuke's never gonna get his just desserts or have to pay for his crimes. @_@
He'll end up with a slap on the wrist and a get-out-of-jail-free card, I know it. :(
Well right now they're saving the Leaf Village from Pain, but yeah that sounds about right

At least there are still other bad guys around. I'd heard about loads of major bad guys being killed/kicking the bucket. I know Orochimaru was killed...and a lot of those red dawn guys (except for Pain apparently) were killed. Heard quite a few good guys died too. Infact all the news I end up hearing round-a-bout related to Naruto is that lots of characters are dying. o_O;;; Or in Hinata's case, almost-dying.


Did an image search for Chris Pine. This one looks kinda-Vegeta-ish: http://www.reelmovienews.com/images/gal ... n-kirk.jpg
To answer your question no Hinata is not dead which sucks because they way everything went down she essentially should have been killed by Pein/Pain. Yes, Akatsuki members have been dropping like flies and Kakashi, Jiraiya and Shizune are all confirmed dead. Concerning the image of Chris Pine, I see what you mean.

Thanks for the spoilers, guys. When I open a thread that is about the live-action DB movie, I don't expect to see Naruto spoilers of all things.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

If there's no responsibility, there's no Spiderman, it makes or breaks his character. The same as the happy-go-lucky personality can make or break Goku's character. This movie character flat out wasn't Goku, whether you like him more or not.
You can say whatever you like but to me the movie “Goku” is my preferred one over all incarnations.
Why are you putting quote marks around Goku? Thats the characters name. Thats the only name the imposter in the movie has.

As for your other point, no you cant just arbitarially change aspects of a characters personality and have it be the same character. If Piccolo was treated as a skirt chasing horn dog, thats not Piccolo. Thats some incredibly shitty writing. Even if it was the creator doing a reboot. But thats not even the case here. This was some hacks chaning a character hey had no hand in creating. Its still incredibly shitty writing.

Edited all spoilers out of my own posts. They are gone. Didn't realize I was spoilering; 'twas a dumb move by me and I am sorry. As what I typed was a reply to something off topic to begin with, I should've taken it to pm's.

*Waits for the other posts by other people that had spoilers of their own or quoted her own deleted information to be edited by their authors; as she can't edit other peoples' posts*.


I did stop watching/following the series a little over two years ago.

I think the first 20 Chapters would make a decent first movie (in a series of 5 or 6 movies).

How about maybe because I want to do so, I do not like using that name and the only time I use it is in reference to the film or Goku Jr. from GT. You are on super fan level pickiness now, I can understand if I called him Sidney or Bobby.

How is it “dumb shit”? The characters name in the series real name is "Kakarrot" and plus I have sentimental reasons for doing so that coincide with my dead father.

I don't feel like going through all the pages, has anybody heard anything about a DVD or Bluray release?

I hate to be a dick, but the way Piccolo looked in the movie was superior in every way, I don't even care that they deviated.

I wonder how many would argue that the Fox should have gone in that direction.

Do you mean that movie Piccolo was superior to his original design, or superior to this guy?

Because seriously, you guys are comparing a major Hollywood production, complete with props, professional make-up team and post production digital effects to a $40 cosplay. C'mon.
