16/11: Source Material
Apparently Star Trek fans, you are not alone.
Walk into any online forum nowadays and all you see are people who think it's a travesty that their beloved franchises are not being made into exact representations of the source material.
Dragon Ball:
Yes, this is a FANFIC. A poorly written fanfic.
1) The High School plot is COMPLETELY pointless. It's Americanizing a story that DOES NOT NEED TO BE AMERICANIZED. If they insist on school it should be Goku being home schooled by Grandpa Gohan. What would be so bad about that?
2) Goku bullied at High School? Everybody loves Goku (except the villains). The only bullying Goku should ever experience is from Pilaf, Tao, the Red Ribbon Army, King Piccolo, Raditz, Nappa, the Ginyu Force, Frieza, the Androids, Cell, The majins, and sometimes Vegeta. Carey Fuller should not even be in this film.
3) Chi Chi as the it girl? WTF!? Make her that half naked Chinese maiden that we all know and love.
4) The unfaithful look of the characters. Bulma needs full blue hair (believe me, it doesn't look over the top if done right), Master Mutaito needs to be old Asian and with a mustache, Master Roshi needs to be bald with a long beard and mustache with sunglasses, King Piccolo needs to be in a purple gi lime green and with antennas, Goku needs to be wearing his signature blue and orange gi (not casual clothing). Honestly, I've seen better looking cosplayers than the characters in this 100 million dollar budget film!
5) The unfaithful character personalities. Goku should not have to say "I'm not ready for this" unless he's up against Perfect Cell. Bulma needs to be that spunky teenager girl not a Lunch clone, Master Roshi needs to be perverted (This should be Dragon Ball, not some stupid American family film), Mai needs to be clumsy.
6) Where the hell are Piano, Tambourine, Cymbal, Drum? Why are they generic Fullum Assassins.
7) Why isn't the story more faithful?
8) Missing characters. Where the hell is Kami, the Ox King, Pilaf, Oolong (they could have included him but not as a talking animal), and the others?
9) The casting choices are awful for some characters. I really think they could have made better casts for some characters. There are a lot of people who fit the role of Goku better than Justin Chatwin. Why didn't they stick with Chow's choice of Zhang Yuqi for Chi Chi? She fits Chi Chi a lot better than Jamie Chung... Some casting choices are amazing though, like James Marsters as King Piccolo, Randall Kim as Grandpa Gohan, and Chris Sabbat as Shenron
I wont be going to watch this piece of trash movie to the cinema at all. In fact, I think I'll be doing some Signs in the next animecon in Mexico to let the people know about the crimes that are happening here.
Twilight:
I have lost all hope at this point. The commercials are over-acted and over-dramatic, the writing is all wrong, and the casting director should be shot. I am almost certain that I am not going to enjoy this movie at all and I don't like that feeling. Does anyone else feel the same way?
it ruins the fact that everyone can imagine the characters. and besides, there is absolutly no one can be any of the characters exactly.
Watchmen:
LOL They keep building hype for this money grab. I'd rather go out and buy another Watchmen graphic novel, just to give more money to Alan Moore, than give a dime to Zack Snyder. Racist piece of garbage
Wolverine Origins:
Actually, couldn't find anyone saying anything bad about this movie. Only how excited they were to see Gambit. Which inevitably reminded me of Dave's Long Box post a few years back.
