>Probably the best videogame movie of all time, but no one is talking about it
Yeah, this movie doesn't matter because doesn't have "Pokémon" on its title. But let's say Detective Mediocrachu is the best videogame adaptation so far...
(Inb4, yeah, I know DQ is not that big in the west. Everyone knows that...)
I feel like this could be a decent success in the West if they showed trailers for it for kids. Could be the start of making the brand mean something over here and what better way than to start young.
Justin Flores
Imagine being such a colossal fucking faggot that you can't unironically enjoy Detective Pikachu.
If you want to play DQ you have to get into the same mindset anyway.
I believe in other countries, such as Japan, it's day/month/year, compared to month/day/year.
Joseph Jenkins
It's actually year/month/day Literally only one place on earth is retarded enough to put the day in the middle
Ryder Lee
>Probably the best videogame movie of all time, but no one is talking about it >Deborah is nowhere to be seen I have located the problem.
Mason Bell
The humans look bad Except Flora because she is always cute
Brayden Parker
>Beautiful CGI >Beautiful art direction and visual effects >Beautiful monsters and characters adaptation Wrong. Also, the story is totally changed from the original game. I honestly can't tell why Horii allowed his favorite game to be adapted this poorly.
Jeremiah Campbell
>Smallest set of numbers >Middle set of numbers >Largest set of numbers Sounds like we're the only ones who know anything about aesthetics.
He is in we already saw him in the previous trailer
Grayson Sanders
I loved the movie, but is mediocre
Camden Stewart
Why would noncanon-chan be in it?
Kevin Flores
That's why it goes in the middle? Month/Day/Year 1-12/1-31/-1billion-1billion
Carter Cruz
>Bianca instead of nera Garbage
Adam Sanders
That's even dumber than I thought you meant. You're basing this on circumstance. The numbers fluxuate so tomorrow it will be 6-20-19. Small-large-middle.
Justin Wilson
You can't put about 20hrs of story on a movie. Of course they will change it a little bit.
And you can't affirm something for free, at least give me some arguments about why it doesn't look that good. It's okay having a different opinion, but...
Ethan Young
That's why I said "set of numbers" and not physical numbers. Also what the fuck? Who the fuck would write it like that?
Luis Evans
You spelled Debora wrong
Brayden Diaz
>Debwhora Cringe
Cameron Turner
I think kids would find the big bad too scary (I sure as fuck would when I was little), and the plot to 5 is pretty heavy.
Jordan Bailey
>You can't put about 20hrs of story on a movie. All the more reason not to do it. But when it comes to DQV, cutting out all the battles, you get a much shorter time. Still over an hour though. So not only are they cutting out the battles, but also the core of what makes Dragon Quest. Exploring the world and talking to NPCs. You can't recreate user interaction in a movie.
>Of course they will change it a little bit. It's more than a little bit. They're changing key story elements they don't even need to change.
>at least give me some arguments about why it doesn't look that good. -Art style is copied right from How to Train Your Dragon. -Akira Toriyama designs changed for no real reason; this will cause a lot of people to skip the movie out of principle -CGI instead of hand animation; goes against the style the series is known for and Japan's style as a whole -Main heroes personality is now just a generic teenage hero; ironically this movie will show why silent protags you self insert into work better in DQ games than active characters separate from you -Low quality animation as it's done by a start up animation group -Needless story changes -Seiyuu are really low quality compared to normal voice actors -The whole project just has the feel of trying to copy western animation, rather than following the Japanese industry or doing their own thing; it comes off as a cheap knock off of 3D films, kind of like Illumination projects
Lincoln Hughes
Is this even out?
Kevin Cox
Dragon Quest V is way too grim for nu-children.
Jeremiah Evans
>-Art style is copied right from How to Train Your Dragon. >-Akira Toriyama designs changed for no real reason; this will cause a lot of people to skip the movie out of principle >-CGI instead of hand animation; goes against the style the series is known for and Japan's style as a whole These three points are trite. People don't automatically lynch others for not copying the Akira style, despite what you might think, and CGI, ESPECIALLY HTTYD pseudo-pixar style is insanely popular and widely considered to be good.
>Main heroes personality is now just a generic teenage hero That's literally how people view all of the heroes in general. Not just DQ, but any Japanese hero is "generic teenage hero". >Needless story changes Unquantifiable. But it leans more towards the "you're wrong" side just based on the fact that you're cramming 20 hours of story into a movie, so changes are in fact needed. >Seiyuu are really low quality compared to normal voice actors >The whole project just has the feel of trying to copy western animation, Opinions. Shitty ones, at that.
Daniel Walker
>-CGI instead of hand animation; goes against the style the series is known for and Japan's style as a whole This is a stupid reason. The series has been doing CGI games for 15 years now, and Japan isn't limited to just 2D. Doraemon's most recent movie was 3D too. And it's the most successful yet.
Dylan Anderson
DQ isn't competing with Detective Pikachu since its by far the most ambitious thing Pokemon has done since BW It's competing with this mess of a movie.
You mean way too red pilled to let them see it. >White male takes responsibility for all of the wrong things that have happened in his life, becomes a hard worker, marries a white woman, then has children who also become hard working and responsible. This is so antithetic to modern progressive Hollywood that I'm willing to bet money that if it was ever allowed in the states, it would get no press coverage and there would be attempts to sweep it under the rug as fast as possible.
Alexander Ortiz
God fuck off
Ayden Bailey
user dragon quest V is my favorite and I'm so fucking excited for this
yeah it doesn't have toriyama's style for the humans but overall, if you love DQV you owe it to yourself to give it a chance. I honest to god have no idea how you're such a sourpuss over this movie when it seriously looks like they're giving it an honest shot.
Detective Pikachu was made by some nobodies in america, it's hardly anything close to ambitious.
Luis Lewis
Its made by Legendary and actually has a story unlike the modern Pokemon movies which are made by fucking OLM which is a literal who company
Joseph Taylor
>it looks like a cheap knock off what? that CGI looks like the best CGI I've seen in a long ass time. get your eyes checked. I appreciate 2D more than 3D but this movie looks cool
Ian Ward
OP, you post like a newfag.
Kevin Thompson
Legendary? Never heard of them.
Josiah Taylor
>no Akira Toriyama eyes
dropped
Bentley Thompson
>also the core of what makes Dragon Quest. Exploring the world and talking to NPCs. You can't recreate user interaction in a movie. Good thing they chose the game probably the least dependent on user interaction and with the heaviest story focus.
Jack Allen
They made the good King Kong and the good Godzilla, and everyone favorite John Wick OLM is known for nothing.
John Thompson
Toriyama only made the art not the stories
Ryder Powell
How? They're legendary.
Landon Gray
Being "known" for a certain subset of fucking King Kong is less than nothing. It's not even the real King Kong! It's his mexican non-union counterpart.
David Butler
They're known for the only King Kong anyone cares about.
Parker Baker
Agree
Ethan Garcia
>These three points are trite. People don't automatically lynch others for not copying the Akira style You really don't understand how the Japanese feel about this series. They already complained about various DQ games not looking right and are complaining about Hero in Smash. Am I saying I agree? No. I'm just saying, there clearly are people who will complain and boycott the movie over this.
>Opinions. Shitty ones, at that. Your views are opinion too. The only "objective" measurement we will have is how well the movie ultimately performs.
Alexander Butler
This is fucking stupid. You know OLM makes the Pokemon series too right? That's not exactly nothing, they're definitely not a literally who company unless you literally know nothing.
Wow, they make a show that airs at like 4 AM in the US and no one watches vs John Wick dudes.
Landon Rodriguez
5 again, but this time the R18 version.
Mason Wilson
The biggest media franchise of all time vs a generic movie nobody actually saw and probably ranks under True Lies
Brayden Morris
Lowest rated anime vs biggest action movie starting biggest star
Christopher Young
>You really don't understand how the Japanese feel about this series. No I do. Just, the thing is, I'm not blind. I see the fanart and the spinoff comics. People make good art work that is well received and also outside the Akira artstyle. The only way it'll come to an angry mob is if a numbered DQ game got released. Hell, otherwise people would have lynched the recent remake of Magical Circle Guru Guru which was a HUGE parody to Dragon Quest.
>Your views are opinion too. But mine aren't objectively shitty like yours are.
>I don't agree with your views therefore they're shit and invalid Right back at ya.
Ian Ward
Watch Magical Circle Guru Guru
Andrew Taylor
>The only "objective" measurement we will have is how well the movie ultimately performs. You're fucked on that measure. Maybe a small amount of retards on 2ch were complaining like how a small amount of retards on here will complain and boycott everything, but sentiment was very positive on the movie. There are always idiots who will complain and boycott over anything. For Dragon Quest, if the sales are anything to go by they're an extreme minority.
That looks very amazing. The CGI really makes him feels like a shonen hero.
Being the same as the original ≠ Good Being different ≠ Bad
Just look at the Mewtwo movie remake, they look like ugly toys
Hunter Nelson
Yeah ok, Shill brigade. It looks like shit, and unfaithful to the original design. And don't fucking tell me the original design wouldnt look good in 3D, decades of dragon ball games prove your point wrong
Christian Scott
You have autism.
Easton Walker
It's one thing to make fanart of a character in your style, but still keeping true to the original design. It's another to change huge aspects of the original design and stick it into Dreamworks style. The characters not only look different because they're in Dreamworks style, but because they changed aspects of the base design. And then the characters personalities are totally different as well.
Good fanart will at least keep the personality and base characteristics. This fanart I just posted obviously doesn't look like Toriyama at all. But it keeps the clothes, proportions, character expressions and etc on model. This CGI movie isn't even doing that. If the hero wasn't wearing a huge purple turban, he wouldn't be recognizable at all. He would just look like some knock off of Aladdin. And characters like and Bianca look NOTHING like her original design. Even overlooking the CGI style, this doesn't look like Dragon Quest at all. They have to actually tell you who the characters are in the trailer and put a slime on the movie poster because of how different they look.
Yeah, surely it would be as cool as the beautiful and non-ugly Jump Force graphics...
Lol no
Aiden Turner
I've said it for years, DQ fans are fucking obnoxious and think the world owes them because their franchise is the Call of Duty of Japan
Lincoln Lee
"A few retards and racists will boycott the movie, but our internal research says the movie will do amazingly well!"- Sony, just before the release of Ghostbusters 2016
"We totally gave the finger to the fans and catered to the Twitter mob. What went wrong?!"-Sony, after Ghostbusters came out
Ryan Young
>You have autism. Yes, I actually study the things I comment on and make arguments to support my claims. Unlike you.
Jackson Morgan
So does Chris-chan, Autism kun.
Jack Barnes
Key difference: Literally the entire internet was on fire with controversy before the movie was released, with the trailer having an absolutely ridicluosly low like:dislike ratio for one movie, and the other seems to be well received so far with polite internet discussion and positive feedback.
Can YOU guess how retarded you are on a scale of 1-10? Spoiler: It's higher than the number of the Dragon Quest game this movie is based off of.
Bentley Williams
>They already complained about various DQ games not looking right Yet every game sells more than the last hmmmm Instead of drawing some dumb parallel that doesn't even work, this should tell you something about your sources on the sentiment of Dragon Quest in Japan
Kevin Jackson
>DQ 7 >8 >2 >10 >>>>>>>>>
Ian Murphy
>and the other seems to be well received so far with polite internet discussion and positive feedback. Source needed. Because all the stuff I saw related to this movie, both in Japan and worldwide, was a resounding "meh." And the most numerous comments about it were people questioning the design change.
Where's all these people praising and supporting the movie?
>Can YOU guess how retarded you are on a scale of 1-10? Spoiler: It's higher than the number of the Dragon Quest game this movie is based off of. >has to start insulting the poster to deflect from the actual argument, which is starting to go against him
>Yet every game sells more than the last hmmmm No they don't. DQX and XI sold less than IX. They still sold well and people got over the style change. But you're still making an argument that doesn't support your claims. You should have just said "the games continue to sell well despite design changes." But then, you'd be repeating what I already said. And not "blowing me the fuck out" with some silver bullet comment like you're trying to do.
>Instead of drawing some dumb parallel that doesn't even work Oh, the irony.
Nathaniel Hughes
Girls look fine I feel, the protagonist is a bit too scrawny looking though, looks almost like a girl.
The depiction of Gema though is fantastic, fucker looks evil as shit and I love how expresive he is. Real excited to see Mildrath.
Hopefully. I really do hope DQXI blows up after Smash and becomes the best selling DQ, leading to a huge fanbase in the west. They might have even made this movie with the west in mind. It would explain a great many things about why they chose this design style and making it CGI.
But it still doesn't change your previous statement being wrong.
John Garcia
>I'm gonna keep responding until I get the last word ftfy
Carson Ortiz
They're trying really hard to get DQ to take off in the west, and it's never going to fucking work
No, I'm legitimately letting you know that you have severe autism. I would frankly rather take the loss than begin to work through your mental problems to set you straight again. If you want some self-reflection though, start with the fact that you yourself are basing all of your assumptions and analogies off of a very distant version of Earth that doesn't match up with reality or is provable.
Don't bother with the reply, I'm hoping out of this thread.
I legitamitely wonder if this movie isn't going to have the kids. Since I haven't seen them in any previews. If this whole movie is "adapted" so much that it only takes place up to the marriage, then it is confirmed to be a failed adaptation of DQV.
Colton Myers
He is their ally and means serious business. He's gonna show Bishop Ladja what for.

The son is literally right on the poster in the OP.

Where? The shadowed figure on the right of Gema? And if that's the son, where's the daughter?
