Turns out he's the DUDE WHO CREATED THE SERIES THIS ABOMINATION IS "BASED" ON!!! WHY THE HELL IS HE NOT INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT (like he would at this rate). Leaving out the original creator of a movie you're adapting is the most RETARDED move you could make. So what if he wanted most of the creative control in the project? He is their God as far as I'm concerned. At least in this sh*t "Akira" movie, Katsuhiro Otomo's involved in the project. (For now at least.) Funny how Dragon Ball is loosely based on China yet this sh*t movie is made in Mexico. They couldn't even film in the correct location?! Trifling-ass bastards...

Damn those traitors Stephen Chow and James Wong...how could they do this to Dragon Ball? I doubt I'll ever be able to enjoy Kung Fu Hustle like I used to. I really liked that movie.

I really would like to know Akira Toriyama's opinion on this. I mean, he changed the frickin' world in my opinion, and a lot of animes and mangakas owe a lot to him, I don't care what anyone says. Realizing how much Toriyama sacrificed so we could enjoy the tale of Son Goku and friends for the ten/eleven years it was running in Weekly Shonen Jump up to this day, just for Hollywood to undo those ten years in one sh*t movie is blatant disrespect to me as well as him.

Yeah! Akira Toriyama is the God of the Dragon Ball universe! He is the only authority who can tell what is what in the DB universe and can give the changes he wants. I am from México and believe me, I am ashamed that this poor excuse of a film was made in my nation! Worse is that the high school scenes where filmed at a quack university. Actually, the only traitor is Stephen Chow since James Wong was never a fan of DB.

Yes Akira Toriyama changed the world, not even Evangelion nor Noir come close to Dragon Ball.

Son Goku...the main character of the series, a innocent boy who grew up in the woods, isolated from any form of urbanization, or people, only to grow up to become anime's STRONGEST CHARACTER EVER(!!!)...a character imitated and ripped off by so many people and so many times...

Who the hell gave the idea that Goku should be in HIGH SCHOOL?! AND THAT HE'S A STEREOTYPICAL UNPOPULAR NERD?!! I mean, come the f*ck on Hollywood....KID Goku took on a F*CKING ARMY SINGLE HANDEDLY AT THE AGE OF 12!!! AND HE CAN'T HANDLE A COUPLE OF PUNK-ASS JOCKS IN THIS MOVIE?! (DAMN I HATE JOCKS, ALWAYS HAVE BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL! IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY JOCK/POPULAR KID I WANTED TO JUST BEAT THE F*CK DOWN...)

But I will give Hollywood this, Goku has indeed gone to school... MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS THAT IS. But f*cking high school? The place where peoples' worst memories of their upbringing took place? Like I need another reason to hate popular people...

Look, I hate pop culture as it is. This is only putting more fuel to the fire. I refuse to live in a society of ignorance, false imagery, and reality TV. I just flat out refuse. I was not brought up as a kid only to be dumbed down as an adult (I'm 18 by the way) by the media or pop culture. I've never been one to be "in with the crowd" and I never will. DEATH TO MAINSTREAM MUSIC, DEATH TO REALITY TV, AND DEATH TO POP LIFE, THAT'S WHAT I SAY!

HOLLYWOOD, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY FORM OF POP CULTURE IN MY ANIME MARTIAL ARTS MASTERPIECE. KEEP YOUR PRETTY LOOKS AND DUMB ASSES WHERE THEY BELONG AND LEAVE THE MANLY AWESOMENESS OF DRAGON BALL ALONE.

DAMMIT! Why couldn't this sh*t movie be like "The Forbidden Kingdom"?! You know, having actors who actually know martial arts, like my man Jackie Chan; filming the movie IN CHINA, you know, ATTEMPTING TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL MANGA?!! I've already voiced my opinion about converting anime to live action, but at least THAT would have made more sense!

DAMMIT, MAN! JUST DAMMIT!!! The idea of converting Dragon Ball into a live action movie SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN CONCEIVED IN THE FIRST PLACE...

...

Ah, I feel a little embarrassed feeling so strongly about this...

TO BE CONTINUED...

It is OK, we understand you, release all the anger you want here.

Wow you always surprise me , I 100% agree with ALL!
I soooo agree with the school part, with the Goku part, and ESPECIALLY WITH THE POP CULTURE AND MAINSTREM!!!
I am really happy to see someone say almost the same words that I was saying when I first heard about DBZ live action movie idea.
I am soooo happy to see you think all that, and I really appreciate it!

After all I don't want to repeat myself, even in my petition I couldn't resist and MUST have mentioned the BEHATED Hollywood pop-culture stereotype!!!, remember -

Dear 20th Century Fox

As fans/sympathizers/supporters of the miraculous Dragon Ball world around the globe, we undersigned, would like to express our revolt against the upcoming Dragon Ball live action movie!

For many of us, the Hollywood version of any anime/cartoon/manga/comic/video game ever made is senseless and it symbolizes only a title-exploitation, but it has gone far enough and we all agree in one - that at this point it's safe to say that this movie has stopped making any sense at all, and has gone far beyond any level of bad adaptation and a terrible actor choice, not to mention the totally deformed story...

By looking at the cast list it became clear as day that DB LAM is destined to fail.
Furthermore, as Dragon Ball was never meant to be made into a Live Action Movie, such a thing as "appropriate actors" is non-existent.

The story is everything but DB-like...
Moulding the story by hollywood standards, adding new characters, leaving out the original ones, and adding events not related to DB, such as "Goku goes to high school" is going to make this movie look like everything but like Dragon Ball, and that will eventually satisfy only those who don't know anything about DB and what it truly represents, which proves that you don't care about the fans...
There is no need to point out some specific differences in regards to the original story since you've changed almost everything, and are accordingly aware of those changes(or are you?)
It's crystal clear that you only want to exploit the "Dragon Ball" name, without caring for the fans and what they think, and that's why we perceive you not as artists but as businessmen.

We feel as if you're making a mockery out of something that's very precious to us!
To make matters worse, it has been brought to our attention that this was originally conceived to be a trilogy.

Therefore, we want you to stop ruining Dragon Ball's spirit, and stop trying to turn it into a just another Hollywood pop-culture stereotype, because that never had ANYTHING to do with the Dragon Ball universe!
We consider this to be the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to the Dragon Ball franchise...

SO, WE ALL WANT YOU TO CANCEL THIS MOVIE!

High budget alone is not enough to make a good adaptation, and this movie is probably the best example!
Canceling a movie may not be easy, but we undersigned, as fans/sympathizers/supporters of the DB/Z/GT franchise, have full rights to criticize you for making this movie, while maintaining a level of courtesy and politeness.

The goal of this petition is not to insult anybody and we mean no harm, the goal of this petition is very clear - STOPPING THE DRAGON BALL LIVE ACTION MOVIE FROM BEING MADE!

____________________________________________________

To potentially undersigned:

In case some people sign this petition just to give a negative comment about our cause, it will be regarded as a valid signature!
By reading this petition(and this part in particular) it goes without saying that you are aware of its purpose and that every signature will only benefit us.
So if someone really wants to flame us, feel free to do so, but be advised that every negative comment will be automatically taken into account as sarcasm and therefore aid us further in our fight against this movie.

Thank you all for reading.

The Undersigned

MAN I HATE THAT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATEEEEE I HAAATEEEEE POP CULTURE!!!

DEATH TO MAINSTREAM MUSIC, DEATH TO REALITY TV, AND DEATH TO POP LIFE, THAT'S WHAT I SAY!

Hahahaha many many maaany times I've said that, even though I really don't want to kill them all(or do I? :O)
Who the hell got the idea damn it!!!! I can't believe whats happening, sometimes I seriously can't believe that its happening, and I hope it was just a nightamre or some sick joke... oh damn Evil or Very Mad

Anyway, let me continue, Z Fighter J, you've REALLY earned my deepest respect, and now that you've let it out somewhat, you can start spreading our petition, only if you don't have more important things to do, of course Wink

However, I'm waiting for the answer of two people that work in global advertizement, I hope they will answer me and that their advice will help us very much...

stay tuned Wink

Hey Vegeta_DTX, sounds like you and me could be (hell, possibly are) quite the good friends. It is nice to see people in this world who hasn't been dumbed down by society.

By the way, I was randomly checking out YouTube and happen to stumble across this (don't know if you guys have seen it or not): http://youtube.com/watch?v=G26oic2G9G4

Looks like this guy knows what's the real deal as well. We need to get in touch with him and have him join our army. He's got a video petition going on as well, so he might be able to help us out with ours.

Speaking of which, I have been spreading the word of our petition. I'm constantly bugging my friends about it, and they said they might consider it. Now to me, that usually means "no", but eh, what can ya do? I can't force 'em to sign it in the end.

Anyway, I would start my usual session of "Real Talk", but I got a boatload of assignments and papers to do for school, not to mention I got to study for finals, which are right around the corner. College is a BITCH, man.

I'll be back next time, with some guaranteed real talk.

(Heh, shortest post yet Laughing

)

TO BE CONTINUED...

by VEGETA_DTX on Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:02 am

Thanx Z Fighter J, its obvious we agree about most things, so I am glad to hear that.

And about that guy, I already had contacted him befoure, and he signed the petition, and he is still probably trying to bring some potentional signers to us. and he said he will make video petition, which is good(I also wanted to make, but I'll see if I could do it in the near future)

Anyway thank you very much for spreading the word of our petition.
I am looking foroward for your "Real Talk" Very Happy

, and take care about college, good luck!
And YEAH nor only college but school(education) in general is one of the biggest evils in the world!

If you saw those images i've been watching for few hours you'd go insane.
So one advise: If you wanna keep your sanity stay away of 4chan.

by VEGETA_DTX on Wed Apr 23, 2008 7:20 pm

Oh really

it sounds like something that can bring the sanity to me again Very Happy

by timrugbyflanker on Fri Apr 25, 2008 5:18 pm

why are they doing this to Dragonball? Can we possibly attack these people? I swear I will protest a movie theatre near my house that tries to play this!!!! justin chatwin is a cunt, the only good casting was emma rossum as bulma cuz she's hot.....so keep her, and throw out everyone else.

by Iceman on Fri Apr 25, 2008 5:59 pm

^Nice post... Welcome... But, let's keep violence as last resort...

by VEGETA_DTX on Fri Apr 25, 2008 9:23 pm

Wellcome! thank you for posting.
And I wouldn't agree with the Bulma's role, because whole movie suck as hell to me...but oh well, opinions...the important part is that we are all against this horror.

About part of protesting theatre...I would happily join you and will protest, but I am from europe Evil or Very Mad

But if someone really organise a big protest in front of Fox's object, then don't be surprised to see me coming all the way to america, just to hold one big transparent "DESTROY DB LAM!!!" Very Happy

and to bring C4 with me, just in case they say "go home and grow up losers...we will not stop the movie because of bunch of fanboys!" Very Happy

Welcome, but I would have to disagree with you on Emmy Rossum. She is also "souled" out. Besides, she seems like a clone of that fresa of OtakuKawaii86 aka Priscilla Martin.
