Henry Cavill - Bardock
Jessica Henwick - Chi chi
Dominic Cooper - Vegeta
Clive Standen - Raditz

Practical effects for the creatures made by the Henson Workshop

Fighting is like the MANGA not the ANIME. The manga doesnt suffer fro overly long bombastic action whatsoever and has a quick pace and mostly grounded fighting that could be replicated with minimal cgi

Took me 10 minutes to cast 70% of the characters diversely and have an asian lead

Last fight of the third matrix movie was basically a dbz fight. No one likes the matrix sequels.

The dragon ball manga has far more subdued, canon fights that usually last a few pages. The anime was notorius for being far shittier in that department. A proper DBZ movie would be nothing like the matrix fight, since not a single canon fight was similar

Benedict cumberbatch as cell pls

movies are awful format for shounen shit

why do people even ask

even to make it cool, it would have to be huge budget and have really cool visual effects but that would never happen

Just make the fights less stretched out. The anime series is so filled with filler because the manga only camw out once a month i think

The manga is so brisk paced that it would absolutley work.

>First movie is Kid Goku to King Piccolo
>Second has an opening scene with Planet Vegeta and Jaco and is Raditz to Frieza
>Third has an opening introducing Trunks and then goes onto Cell
>Fourth movie is up to when they kill Buu, ending before Super

>Peopl think the fights are like the anime where they all last 3 episodes and are filled with blasts and supersonic movements
>Reality is that most fights last 2 pages and end like pic related in a single panel without flying or blasts

The anime is fucking shit

Because dragon ball already fucking exists you revolting mega pleb faggot
End your opinions forever.

The anime is also more popular.

...

I'm game as long as Sean Bean plays Yamcha

cuz kids back then couldn't cough up the dough to buy the manga

and the anime dragged on because it caught up to the manga, so they spend 20 minutes shooting laser at each other and 20 minutes grunting per episode

you would have to change the story slightly if you don't want a movie with a plot and pacing as retarded as the cartoons, doing so would result in a massive nerd backlash no matter how good the movie would be

Why is Goku Asian but not Vegeta? Tbey are the same alien race. Also why is 17 a different mixed race but his twin isn't?

Stuff like Bardock sending Goku down and the History of Trunks are legit 1-2 pages in the manga, little vignettes.

Bardock was shown officially in something called Dragon Ball Minus, and Trunks was show briefly training as a super sayian witout Gohan dying. So those little things could be tweaked a bit

>Bob and Georfe are both humans, why aren’t they the same race?

How fucking stupid do you have to be? Goku and Vegeta aren’t cousins or some shit, Saiyans are shown to have just as much variety as humans just with tails.

isn't there a shorter edited version of the anime? kai or something like that

Yeah but even that is still incredibly stretched out compared to the manga.

Something like Vegeta and Goku fusing only lasted about 6-7 pages, where as Vegito was a multi episode affair even in Kai

its just z with a few graphical fixes, censorship of Roshi's nudie mages, and cuts outs the garlic jr saga.
also, the nickelodeon version turns mr popo blue because apparently black people arent allowed on television

>I can only enjoy something if it's a live action production by heebwood
just kill yourself you brainless retard, people like you are ruining everything

>What is genetic diversity

Because anime is mostly terrible and a western interpretation will turn even the most decent animes to shit due to the subject matter not translating well to a mostly western audience not accustomed to childish anime content, themes which are either too gloomy or too abstract which would aggravate normies, visual style and representation would be diminished due to limited effects in live action and replacing all the difficult effects with cgi would look awful. Matrix is the only live action anime we've ever needed. All other animes need to stay anime or its a sure recipe for disaster. The public aren't very interested in children's shows anyway.

No they don't. They all look the same. They all have Black hair, Black eyes and they are all the same colored skin.

oh well I was thinking about rewatching it. Guess I'll read the manga then. Is there anything I should know?

>Filler
>Canon

Start with Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, its a prequel that has Dragon Ball Minus tacked on at the very end

Dragon Ball referes to Kid Goku saga

Dragon Ball Z is grown up Goku. Z has a closing chapter known as “End of Z” set a decade after Buu is beat up.

The Super manga takes places between Buu being beaten and the “end of Z” in the 10 year gap. The Super anime can be supplemented here since many consider it to be just as canon, but the manga has way better art and has heart put into it even tho its missing a lot of the story of the Super anime

Everything else is non canon, that means shit like Broly and the the movies

Vegetas father was canonically shown in Super flashback with brown hair you fucking mongoloid. What natural asian has brown hair and a widows peak?

If only

I agree with everything but the last sentence
Just look at the top grossing movies of 2017 to see why

Never said Vegeta was or should be asian. Just that an alien race that comes from a different planet and one that didn't have many surviving members wouldn't have that much variety in looks. Climate, location, size, the amount of life and how long they were on the planet would have play a big role in there overall looks of the sayian race. Would be the only purebred sayian and it would be strange for them to look so drastically different.

>canon fights

Goku and Vegeta were alive during the time when the Saiyans were Friezas number one race. They were thriving in Population, and genetic diversity would have been just as prevelant as it was in humans considering saiyans can breed with humans with no repercussions whatsoever. Super is canon, the anime more so than even the manga since it comes right from Toriyama himself whk designs every single character and plot arch. If King Vegeta had Brown hair, its not too far of a stretch to think that there is diversity among saiyans to where they could look different. Besides, Jon Foo is half white, he’s not THAT different looking than Dominic Cooper.

Also not to sound racist but Vegeta was the prince, and had far better genes. He wouldnt look like Goku regardless

Pic for reference

The Saiyan race was still very, very small and never breed with other races until after landing on earth. Also I just realized that your casting is shit just for the fact that you cast someone as Vegeta that is taller than than the actor for Goku. Also I don't really care, just think it would be weird and I rather have them both be asian or both white to better repersent them being the last of the purebred sayians.

>vegeta is taller than goku

no senpai.

>shit talking the history of Trunks anime special

Goku is canonically 5’8

Good luck finding a good villanous actor who is also 5’5 and can carry an action movie

Trunks now in Super is the same age as he was in the History of Trunks. He’s been able to go Super Saiyan almost instantly since he was even younger, so the thing in History of Trunks where Gohan dies and Trunks becomes a saiyan makes no sense because it would have been the same Trunks genetically just in a different timeline.

>Seth Rogen - The Ox King
Unironic perfect casting

tom cruise

>They all have Black hair, Black eyes and they are all the same colored skin.
>All saiyans look alike
Wow, um sweetie, racist much?

The heights are all fucked up because japs are all manlets. Why the fuck would a warrior race be the size of 10 year old children

Trunks in Super is younger, you filthy speedwatcher.
>future Trunks became super saiyan after witnessing Gohan's death as a young teenager, long after his own father was killed by the androids
>present Trunks was raised by Vegeta and trained by him to become a super saiyan as a child, sooner than in Future Trunks' timeline
>"Trunks is a super saiyan in Super, so History of Trunks makes no sense!"
SPEEDWATCHER REEEEEEEEE

>sweetie

i hope everyone who types out this word on Sup Forums would have their hands cut off

I'm positive that the age of garbage rip-offs died with the 2000s. Dragon Ball now can make decent content outside of anime (see Xenoverse), if they'll give the rights for an hollywood movie now it will decent at least.

Because every actor would have to be asian

uhm, no?
dragonball has no race

like the dutch did in the congo? wooooow

Tom hardy

It's implied that all the characters are some kind of white-asian hybrid.

>implying that would stop people from complaining
Also, I see this working as a tv series better

Piccolo is black.

DBZ is a bad anime only popular with latin americans and blacks.

I love dbz and im whiter than you will ever be

kek

>Not Commander Red from the RR Army
Pleb.

The perfect Dragon Ball movie already exists you stupid gweilo.
imdb.com/title/tt0122050/

There already is a Dragon Ball Movie.

No toriyama, no dragon ball. It just doesn't work without the art style, and live humans would look stupid as hell looking like that.

/thread

Not sure if I'd care about the movie being made but fuck, these casting ideas are incredibly perfect.

Idris Elba as Goku

Why is your image blank?

Man im more fit than that fag on the poster and i havent worked out in over a year.

Fuck off to you shits.

Goku

Picollo

bulma

Ok ready to hear the retarded explanation for that.

>S-cells are develop in a saiyans body during times of prolonged peace. These S-cells are what allows a Saiyan yo go super saiyan

This is the excuse for why the constantly warring Saiyan race couldnt go super Saiyan, this is why goku was the first, this is why vegeta developed it after frieza die, this is why the kids have more powerful super Saiyan transformations at a younger age...but not future timeline trunks because he was constantly fighting the androids.

krillin

>genetic diversity prevalent in humans
anime was a mistake

Master Roshi

does that dude fights irl? thats my motif here

The Japanese already made their own live action Dragon Ball movie, "Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins", and it was every bit as bad as the one made by Americans, just in different ways.

I watched through the first run of Kai and it was pretty economical and well paced compared to the original. They trimmed something like 200 episodes down to 98 episodes and it flows much better. It still drags during the Namek/Frieza arc, but the Cell Games are a merciful 9 episodes.

Kai: The Final Chapters is bullshit, though. They trimmed the Buu saga from something like 90 episodes to 70 episodes, but it STILL feels meandering and slow; makes me wonder how I ever sat through the original version, much less this.

But yes, the manga is the best way to enjoy the story. The official English translations are kinda shit, though. They can't decide if they want to be super accurate and eschew English localizations for names and such (so Krillen is called "Kuririn" for example) or if they want to be silly and add American pop culture references that were never there (General Metallic is renamed "Full Metal Jacket"). Really uneven translation.

Frieza

theyre the same age chronologically, its just trunks and goten have to stay chibi to sell dolls or something

Jeici

>Kai: The Final Chapters is bullshit, though. They trimmed the Buu saga from something like 90 episodes to 70 episodes, but it STILL feels meandering and slow

Kai: The Final Chapters is almost as long as the first Kai series, making the Buu Saga practically the same length as all other DBZ sagas combined. Honestly, just watch the original Dragon Ball anime, pre-Z. It's more fun and better paced; it doesn't even need a Kai-style editing treatment.

Clearly Garlic Jr.

Recoome

So are Goku and Raditz only half-brothers?

Recoome

Cant think of any dude that can fight and is ripped enough to be Vegeta

>seth rogen
nah, fuck that cancerous piece of shit
