Bardock Special: Director's Cut

[Puto]

That is awesome.

Totally offering to handle the subtitles, by the way.

Mike! Think DBZ movie 13 ending theme! If you can't do it, WHO CAN!?

[DBZfan29]

I know you guys probably have the whole thing arranged, but I have an idea in films that I've always loved. Mike, you don't want to add the whole epilogue thing, so why not do this:

Show those clips during the special at different times. Kind of like a "flashback," but actually the opposite.

What do you think...?

Hey Mike, just wondering how you're going to get this special online. Youtube? Up for download on the website?

Hey Mike, just wondering how you're going to get this special online. Youtube? Up for download on the website?

Not at all, according to the latest podcast episode. Well, barring cons.

[fps_anth]

I love how Mike sets his mind on this, and within a week, it looks like it's almost done. Crazy

Really looking forward to the final product!

[Snail]

This is amazing! Can't wait to see the final product. You guys are awesome.

Ah, bummer. I really wanted to see this too. Just not enough to go to brave the terrifying animes convention.

Oh well, good luck anyway. It seems you made a lot of killer progress thus far.

[DNA]

Oh, so after all that, we're not gonna watch it... crud. ;_;

[Sshadow5001]

i'm almost 100% positive that i'll never be able to get to a con that'll be showing this. Is there gonna be any other way we could view it?

A suggestion: In the Bardock special, there is a scene where Bardock flashes-forward to a scene of Gokū staring down Freeza... in his first form (as the special was made before Freeza's other forms were revealed) Since this is technically inaccurate to the show, maybe you could replace those shots with similar shots from the series with Freeza in his proper form?

I like this idea. I like it a lot.

But that would also be inaccurate as Bardock wouldn't be able to recognize Freeza in his true form.

But Bardock can tell the future so seeing Goku vs. Freeza in his final form would be more accurate.

It's been awhile, but does Bardock say anything like "hey, that's Freeza and my son!" when he sees that vision of Goku confronting Freeza? I thought he just sees it and makes no comment. He doesn't necessarily have to comprehend everything he sees. I mean, he sees visions of Goku meeting Bulma, training under Kame-sennin, fighting Piccolo, etc, and obviously he wouldn't know who any of those people besides Goku are. So seeing Goku fight against a form of Freeza he doesn't know wouldn't be out of step with all that.

It would just be swapping one inaccuracy with another. Though I suppose it wouldn't be as obvious.

But it is not like all the other visions like the ones you named in which he is confused by what is going on. Its his last vision and the only one that he is able understand right away as indicated by his smile.

[Sun-Wukong]

I know he's never actually seen Freeza in his true form, but he still has the same face more or less. Would it be such a stretch to imagine he could recognize Freeza's final form?

It's his last vision, as he's dying. He sees the vision, and understanding that his son will avenge him, yells out "Kakarrot!" as the Death Ball kills him along with the entire planet.

[DNA]

The last vision seems to be more like a metaphor. The events aren't 100% but the meaning is. It MEANS Goku is going to fight Freeza. Sometimes clarevoyance comes in metaphors instead of actual facts.

[DBZfan29]

If seeing his final form is such a concern, why don't we show scenes from the Kai intro where he shows all forms in a matter of seconds. Then, cut to a scene of him and Goku battling. That takes care of the whole confusion. Another way could be just showing Goku fighting with no clear vision of Freeza. It would make sense. Bardock's about to die... his vision probably isn't all that great.
