I've always been relatively optimistic about the Dragonball movie, but that trailer really didn't do anything for me. It didn't feel like Dragonball, it didn't really feel like anything. :/

Most of the movie is going to hinge on how Goku and Piccolo are portrayed, for me. So far, appearances are not helping. Goku doesn't look like a wild child, and Piccolo... well, I'm indifferent to his appearance; I can live with it, but it's not doing anything for me. Goku does at least look to be about the right age for this arc (not that he looked like his actual age in the manga anyway).

Anyway, if that was Goku saying "I'm not ready for this," then they've gotten him completely wrong, and I hate them for it. For one thing; it's just not in his character to say something like that. At all. For another; Goku spent the first chunk of the Piccolo Daimyo arc pretty much in a blind rage.

We're talking about a guy who didn't hesitate to down a glass of pure poison based on the infinitesimal chance that it might not. "I'm not ready for this," is not in his vocabulary.

the thing were they showed a still of the character with their names on the side was kinda like "since you wont have a fucking clue of who those are without us saying...."

Either way, there was no hint of a Kamehame-Ha in this trailer, and that is pretty much the last mistake you can make when making a DRAGONBALL MOVIE...

Wow. And to think, I didn't believe a worse film than Matrix Revolutions or the second Mortal Kombat could be made.

...And then Fox inhaled the biggest throbbing phallus they could find in order to spit out this epic load of craptastic failure. It makes me cringe to think of what they're going to do with Cowboy Bebop. Let me guess... Ein is going to be the crew's faithful computer-hacking Poodle....

Looks like they're just going to do with the movies what they do with translating or licensing anime. Goody.

Sweet Allah could no one tell him it's spelled Piccolo, like the flute. :gonk:

This film is going to suck horrendously. They are basically shitting all over the source material.

This is how the movie should go:

1. Focus on Goku as an uneducated and innocent minded child training with Master Roshi
2. Enter Piccolo (WHO WILL BE GREEN) to collect the dragon balls to enslave humanity
3. Enter Krillin who comes to train under master roshi as well after Piccolo enacts non-specific evil on Krillin's life and/or family.
4. Focus on Roshi attempt to teach the two boys his techniques, including the kamehameha wave which they never master.
5. Enter Bulma who arrives to hide her dragon ball with Roshi so it will be safe in exchange for seeing her boobies.
6. Enter piccolo attack on Kame House, because he has a dragon ball.
7. Roshi killed in combat by piccolo, and Krillin defeated soon after.
8. Goku chases piccolo, finds his lair, and has a large fight, starts to lose, then finishes him with a kamehameha.
9. Summon dragon to revive Roshi, who once revived tries to grope Bulma.
10. Everybody ends laughing to the deep voiced guy saying the day was saved and the world will never truly be safe yadda yadda yadda


This is how the ACTUAL movie seems to be going so far:
1. Goku is at school
2. More goku is at school
3. Non-green piccolo causes mayhem
4. Goku trains with non-eccentric non-pervert Roshi
5. Kiss with Chichi
6. ???
7. Profit
