Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[singsing]

Yes I am. "Poop joke" is very specific, and there's probably like 4 of those jokes in the whole series. It makes no sense to condense everything around THAT.

I said it's a part of the series. Lighthearted elements from Dragon Ball will be part of the new movie, because that's part of what the series is. Acting like it's inappropriate or completely out of place doesn't really make sense. Relax and enjoy.

Of course it is. I'm not trying to come off as a "Dragon Ball is hardcore bla bla bla." The 2008 special is extremely lighthearted and is the best thing that has been done the past few years, because that feels like what Dragon Ball is.

There's no way you're being serious right? "poop joke" is a figure of speech indicating that DB is supposed to be a fun, lighthearted series. You're not meant to take that literally.

Re: Chapter 1 cover

Has Vegeta ever been in the center of a big group shot like this staring off against the main villain and not been the main character at that particular time ?

No,this is the first time we get him this way.

And other then that if this was a Goku movie they would be doing A LOT more marketing with it which isn't the case now,if anything it's like they don't want people to know about it.

The manga version confirmed (kind of) that we'll see Trunks.

In other words, it didn't.

Freeza said he wanted to kill him so chances are he'll be in it.

Well, there was an interview (I can't find it now) where Akira said Kakarot realized that mastering Super Saiyan would increase his strength more than what Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 could give, or something like that.

He said due to him absorbing the power of Ssjg he doesn't need those 2 any more and from what we know it looks like he doesn't need ssj1 either.

In terms of Vegeta he never mentioned him or the form he was in.

[Drayenko]

Well, I don't like it. And just like everybody can express themselves by using it, I can express my discontent towards it.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

Anyway, is anyone excited about the prospect of hearing Chris Ayres voicing Freeza in the movie? He's such a perfect English Freeza. He's almost on par with Ryusei Nakao. I can't believe he voiced Freeza in Kai, let alone in this film. It definitely feels like I'm dreaming. With the improved cast in addition to Ayres, this may be the best Dragon Ball movie to date.

We fans that grew up watching the series want more than fights and enemies with overwhelming powers coming from nowhere beating the crap out of our favorite characters, we want a good story, with great character development, with funny scenes but also serious and dark scenes too, that's the essence of Dragon Ball, pal it's not like cartoons you see in Nickelodeon that you just watch don't giving a shit for the story and rest, my opinion

"Not taking it seriously" is not the same as thinking the entire series is just a joke. I grew up with the show as well, and my opinion is that it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Fans should never take a show more seriously than the creator does, especially when the creator also made something like Dr. Slump and is known for forgetting things about his own series.

This is... just no.

Dragon Ball is not a poop joke series, I don't care if this website promotes that. That is not Dragon Ball.

And Toriyama can be whatever, but he's always been extremely consistent with power levels, so yeah. Powers levels do matter, even if they don't to some people. They ARE part of the series and you can't take that away.

It is a poop joke series. And if "poop joke" is too specific, then just replace it with "Toilet humor" or "Low Brow comedy".

Sure, and Krillin dying for the first time is part of Dragon Ball too. It that's a joke, cool then.

It has serious moments, but that doesn't mean it's origins, and a big part of it's continued run, wasn't comedy.

Freeza having a body in Hell and the fact that he can jump from initial Super Saiyan tier to beyond Super Saiyan Vegetto tier in 4 months are very interesting subjects.

Those are interesting, but I've seen people getting legitimately angry looking for some sort of In-Universe reason while there may not be one other than "Hey, Freeza's got this huge latent strength that can come out when he decides to seriously train." And I understand if that's not satisfying but...idk, it's just whatever. In reality, they probably just BS'd a reason to bring Freeza back. I imagine that the whole point of this movie is to have a popular villain come back and face our heroes again. The reasons how and why just aren't that important to me. I'm just here to watch the fights/interactions.

I'm just trying to say that you can't define it under "poop joke." That's like if I were to say Dragon Ball is a Satanist series because there is this guy that's called Mr. Satan, therefore it promotes the devil.

That's really not the same comparison. DB is a "Poop Joke" series because it features jokes about poop. It doesn't feature Satanism or any Satanic beliefs (that I know of), and Mr. Satan isn't even really Satan. It's just his name.

I think you guys are overreacting and taking Big Momma's comment out of context. Pretty sure he was meaning that the series is absurd and simple at its core, and isn't meant to be the subject of such intense scrutiny and absolutely unchanging, consistent algorithmic rules.

That's basically what I'm getting at, thank you.

Okay, I think I get were you're coming from. DB is not completely a slap stick "poop" comedy (like Dr. Slump) but can still be lighthearted in nature. But from reading your replies, it seemed like you were saying DB is serious business.

I still believe you're taking it too serious though, (I got the impression that you think power levels matters. Correct me if I'm wrong).

Very cool then! :3

Also; wandering CDJapan and found this (link is to Amazon because they have audio samples) : http://www.amazon.com/Horikawa-Ryo-No-A ... B00P22G230

Apparently Horikawa put out a mini-album last November of him covering anime theme songs. I now want Vegeta to have a character song in this movie somehow. :3
(Bingo was fun and awkward, but not something he could really belt out. I'm thinking more along the "Cooking Hell" song's lines.)


Re: Gokû movie

This is also why I'm leaning towards this being The Vegeta Movie.
If this comes true; I feel like it'll be way easier for Funi to market in the U.S. I feel like Vegeta's way more popular in the U.S. than Gokû.

[singsing]

Your discontent... towards an expression by taking that expression literally?

[Retan]

What's so special about chris ayers? I've seen Kai in english, and didn't think much of him as Freeza.

[Drayenko]

I do think they matter. Not the NUMBERS as in Battle Power readings from scouters, but they matter as in making sense and having a progression throughout the series that "makes sense."

I hope I'm making myself clear...

Yes.

[Scarz]

So you're saying "power levels" in terms of how strong a character is against another, or compared to how he/she was compared to where they started in the series. And not arbitrary numbers. I can understand that.

[EmmaWinters]

He sounds somewhat similar to Nakao, and helped give Freeza his first accurate portrayal in English.

[Big Momma]

He's better than Linda Young to a lot of people.

I understand what you're saying. I dunno, I personally don't have any trouble understanding the progression of strength without using Power Levels. Eh well.

[Mewzard]

I can't wait to see more from the manga adaptation, and get a few clarifications on the story from Kanzenshuu.

I wonder if Freeza will have any new techniques, or interesting surprises in store for our heroes.

I'm still half expecting Freeza to use a sword on Trunks if he sees him.

Wonderful acting, a very fitting voice (and a script with great dialogue certainly helps). He's about as good as we could hope for an English Freeza.

And I really can't wait to hear his voice in the dub of the movie (I saw Battle of Gods in theaters *I waited for the official release in the US*, and I'm going to see this in theaters when it comes out).

With this being a special occasion for him we might get something.

These are other reasons to why I think this is a Vegeta movie :

Spoiler:

1- Before it was announced Toriyama said he wanted to have him be the hero.
2- He's bringing back Freeza who has a huge connection to Vegeta and his past which goes with what he said cause why do that if he's going to have Goku be the one who beats him ?
3- The poster heavily hints at him getting Ssjg which wouldn't make sense if he wasn't going to do anything big with it.
4- Freeza wants to kill Trunks and we all know that isn't going to go well for him.

Chris Sabat will be happy that's for sure.

[Retan]

LoL that must be hard to do for a lot of people!!

[Drayenko]

I understand what you're saying. I dunno, I personally don't have any trouble understanding the progression of strength without using Power Levels. Eh well.

Oh yeah, I don't care about the numbers. I guess there was a misconception on my part, sorry.

Be a better freeza then Young I mean.

[Dyno]

Eer... Should we consider this manga made by Toyotaro? I kind of feel that a lot of people are actually bringing it to the "canon zone" based on how serious they are taken it. But that might be just me having a wrong view of it.

No worries, dude.
