After Endgame is there any reason to believe audiences wouldn't accept a faithful live action adaptation of Dragonball Z? The stuff that happens in Endgame isn't any less ridiculous than anything that happens in DBZ.

dbz is too white

A faithful adaptation would be shit because the source material is shit.

How do you mean? The matrix revolution had DBZ type fights, as well as man of steel

I dont think its the fighting of dragon ball that puts people off, its definitely the animation style that makes normies think its for creeps and weebs despite having a great wholesome message most of the time. To do well imo it would have to be
>all white cast
>someone hot as goku and any mains
>more relatable and varied locations than muh valley's
>a good action director
>a massive budget
>a really good bad guy (you have a great choice with dbz but not sure who best translates to the big screen)
Aka, literally never going to happen

Why did the live-action DBZ movie take such a bizarre angle on the source material? This is a legitimate question if anyone knows

You can't do DBZ without doing DB first

I read somewhere that creators admitted on doing it without knowing shit about Dragon Ball and just made a movie because the rights were expiring or something like that

People to this day still equate cartoons = kid shit. If you showed some one an entirely animated Endgame movie they'd be so abhorrently uninterested, and half insulted that they were even offered it. If you showed them the same CGI filled shlock that's now out though, they'll eat it right up.

it would never work.
for one thing it's way too long of a story for a single movie.
the fighting would look kind of silly unless they made it have a darker feel, which would be gay.
and most importantly, it would just ruin it no matter what, like basically every adaptation ever made in the history of film.

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll look into it

Why the fuck is live action the end-all be-all of a film adaptation? There is nothing that DBZ could do to benefit from human actors and cheap CGI. It is already present and well-realized within it's ideal visual medium. Fuck the casual audience.

>all white cast
No. To do well they would have to race bend chsrscters to draw latino and black audiences.

do you realize how much story you have to go through to even get to Z? You'd need a trilogy to do Dragonball justice then probably a trilogy to do the freiza saga justice

Because it reaches the widest public, that's it

amen

I never understand why people insist on thinking anime adaptation can ever work when they always do.

The names are gonna be goofy as fuck said to actual people. There's waaay more fighting in dbz than in capeshit. Quite a lot of exposition happens during fights via internal monologue and characters commenting on the battles. Both of these would be trash.

I actually think that the saiyan saga could be good if tweaked. Following gohan training with big green and slowly have them bond alongside the ticking clock of aliens comming could make for a good movie. Instead of snakeway just have goku wished back with the dragonballs.

this is a typical fight in DBZ
>two guys swinging hands quickly
>one guy punches the other into a rock
>shoots a lazer beam at him
>guy flies up and talks shit
>repeat but roles reversed
thats the creative extent of DBZ fighting. It would be impressive the first time but would get boring and repetitive quickly. Fight scenes in superhero movies at least have to try to be innovative and different

Bardock movie
Pilaf movie
World tournament and part of Red Ribbon movie
Rest of RR closing with another tournament movie (count these as a RR two-parter)
Piccolo movie
Saiyan movie
Two Freeza movies
Two Cell movies
Two Boo movies
That's the only way to do it without cutting it down to hell

WTF you're talking about ?
Goku is a migrant, have sex with a woman
Vegeta too
Piccolo is a transgender (Namekian are genderless and he identify as a man) migrant and become the guardian of Earth
Krillin and Tien barely are human

Cast him

Goku wins lol!

Boring.

Even worse, he said he did it for the money

RDJ

Robert Downey Jr or Russel crow they might be too old

Everything's done for the money

Maeda is the most based

Unironically too tall
Should be Kevin Hart

>people are put off by DBZ
Wrong, DBZ is the normiest anime ever.

Grimdark for the purpose of being grimdark and looking adult is what teenagers do

No it's what Chads do

Damn stop with this shit fucking fanboys! Dragon Ball is fucking ridiculous to adapt with IRL characters! why not trying with something like Fullmetal Alchemist or Psycho-Pass? those things could pass with IRL characters but not shit like Dragon Ball, Hunter X Hunter or One Piece, you have zero sense of aesthetic and very bad taste.

it has also zero interest if you not introduce the childhood of Goku and his former adventures before the alien shit.

DB is garbage. It's just Goku coming up to someone way stronger, losing, training/getting a mcguffing and coming back to win while the bad guy goes "what? How did he become so strong?!"
DBZ at least had other 'protagonists' for a while

Thats every shounen my man

This is a typical Marvel fight
>two guys punching and dodging each other
>one guy punches the other so hard he stumbles
>they quip at each other
>reverse but roles reversed

a typical fight in a marvel movie
>every character is almost equally strong when its convenient to have a fight scene. Thanos can knock out the hulk but steve fucking rogers can take a punch without having his head reduced to powder
>guy gets punched into a car
>shoots some cgi at him
>if he can fly, he flies up and talks shit, if not he stands and talks shit
>repeat but roles reversed
thats the creative extent of live action capeshit. Why are you pretending they're any different from any other fighting comic book designed for children?

Even if it's an incredibly faithful adaptation, there's always the issue of the eyes and hair. The eyes wouldn't be possibly and the hair would just look weird in live action

Well, after seing the last part of Captain Marvel, I would give a try to the CGI hair of Super Saiyans

Please understand there is no way to improve upon DBZ as a live action narrative, the very nature and spirit of it is energy which comes alive in art, pure art. That you would want a live action adaptation means you don't get it in the first place.

not enough female heroines. it would get horribly bashed by critics, but if they change the gender of any of the important heroes like yamcha or added new characters some of the fans of the show will make a big deal about it.

Dragon Ball Z sucks ass! Buu saga is fucking terrible! And again it can't work on a IRL adaptation! The character design doesn't fit at all with reality!

TFS made dragonball better in evey way

This.

I'm sure Hollyjews are already contemplating, but the day the turn DB or Evangelion into live action, I'll kill myself.

>or Evangelion into live action
The worse we could expect from this one is not a movie but a Netflix show.
Hope this will never happens.

The only popular shonen they could turn into a live-action adaptation and get away with it is Fullmetal Alchemist, but seeing how it just got a shitty Jap live-action movie I doubt that will happen any time soon

DBZ, Naruto, OP, Bleach, you name it, it just doesn't translate well at all

Lol, sure faggot, lol.

Dragon Ball is literally bigger than Lord of the Rings

Somethings just aren’t meant to be, user.

You just can't make the characters from those shounen fitting well IRL, their characters design make it just impossible, and it's not like capeshit when you have just to make their costumes less cheesy.

Fullmetal Alchemist works easily because of the WW1/German Empire setting and races of characters here will not make some cringe debate.

Other animes which are not shounen could be adapted more or less well too.

> DBZ & DB are garbage. It's just Goku coming up to someone way stronger, losing, training/getting a mcguffing and coming back to win while the bad guy goes "what? How did he become so strong?!"

Fixed that for ya because lets be honest, its the same shit.

Although the only good idea you had was making a fullmetal alchemist movie since it can translate easier.

Why is Japan so good at creating media franchises? If you keep going down it's like half/half nips and the west, and Japan is just one country

I agree, even if you try to condense 153 episodes into one movie the audience isn't going to care if Super Saiyan isn't popped off fucking immediately. DB is popular in the same way Star Trek is. Your average normie just wants a bunch of memes for 2 hours.

Maybe because DBZ is for kids? And, Avengers has actual story that's actually serious, there's real stakes involved.

t. Never seen dragon ball

Yeah, Goku is totally a white name

Marvel Comic stakes are no higher than Dragon Ball.

DBZ is too boring for American audiences because Goku has to actually work for his power with training.

Yeah man the dude in neon spandex punching the purple alien until he falls down is super serious and for big strong mature adults. Holy shit.

probably because Marvel is actually mature and deep?

lol

Maybe, just maybe, it's because MCU is actually mature?

They need to take liberities with the source material to make it not look ridiculous. Henry Cavill should stay in his current shape, but grow his hair out to what it was like while he was training for MoS and he should play goku. Sorry that he's not Asian, but he looks the part.

Attached: goku.jpg (960x540, 17K)

Shonen Jump cinematic universe when?

It's almost as if Marvel movies aren't made for children, where DBZ is... hmmmm.........

They have nothing better to do since they swore off war and a standing military.

Why people who want movies adapted from animes are never thinking about something really adaptable? Why forcing with stuff having universes and characters who looks just cringe and ridiculous on live action?

You realize the plot interest of a live action movie about DBZ is pointless?

they wouldn't pad out a movie with training like they do in the cartoons. it would be a few minutes with some montages like in the dr strange, ant man, and other similar movies.

no, people will get pissed if they don't get an east asian for goku. same thing happened last time. just get someone similar to mike moh and put them in an outfit similar to the one from the cartoon. the clothing is distinctive enough that people won't care much about the hair style as long as it's a similar length and color.

uhhh sweetie? Edge of Tomorrow?

He has literally won one fights in all of Super

No, Henry Cavill should play Goku. I don't care if people get mad.

Knowing it's an American adaptation we don't care about Goku's race, he's a fucking alien anyway.

This didn't really happen until mercenary Tao. He lost fights before that but he didn't get rematches like with Jackie Chun.
DB actually has a lot more variety than DBZ because no one could fly or spam energy blasts and it was all glob trotting adventure shit

preach sistah
fuck normies

someone asian

>just Goku coming up to someone way stronger, losing, training/getting a mcguffing and coming back to win while the bad guy goes "what? How did he become so strong?!"
and that’s a good thing!

>Henry Cavill
No. Goku is a retarded hick. Cavill can't be him.

Henry might not be the greatest actor of all time, but I think he might be able to pull that off. It's not going to happen anyway let's be honest.
