*AHEM!* Just to spite LadyO...
The Dragonball Movie WebsiteNow, Dragonball fans, I did not link that travesty of a so-called Dragonball movie's website to
praise it. Hell no! Make no mistake, this is a hating post. I posted it so that you would not have to spend your valuable time tracking down the effer of a trailer. You need not waste your time now. I have saved you from that. I have not, however, saved you from the HATRED of this movie and what it represents. I will give you just a few of the sticking points:
1. Goku is an American and a brown-haired American at that. Goku, the Japanese version of Son Wukong--the Monkey King. At the very least they could have gotten an Asian to play him.
2. Bulma is a badass. Anybody who's seen Dragonball KNOWS that Bulma is one of the least badass characters in the show. She's rich and smart and not easy to intimidate, but she ain't no fighter. Strangely enough,
she's played by an Asian and with her blue hair they could have gotten away with an American playing her.
3. Roshi (other than being Goku's teacher) isn't at all Roshi. He's not old enough and from what I could see in the trailer, he couldn't possibly be pervy enough to be Roshi, the old lech.
4. Piccolo looks like a green bean left in the pot boiling for too long. Just... NO! And it seems that he's going to do something HORRIBLE with just one Dragonball. One. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH ONE DRAGONBALL, 'CEPT PLAY CATCH!!!
From the poster, I had assumed that they had done away with the characters we know and love and just based a story with new characters around the premise of the Dragonballs. This I could have dealt with. So, um... Yeah, I'll just shut up now and let you decide on your own.
Dragonball: Evolution... A crime against all humanity.
