Why won't they make a proper live action Dragon Ball Z?

>>85006100

Like Jesus Christ I've never gotten the whole anime thing, but DBZ is just screaming and filler

Why do you need one?

Anime looks fucking stupid in real life, without any exceptions.

I think I just saw the trailer for it actually. Odd to cast Oprah as Goku, but whatever...

because the west doesn't give a fuck about anime, beyond a minority who cling to certain series (sailor moon, DBZ, pokemon) out of pure nostalgia.

Even with with a fucking media empire like Pokemon, they only managed to have one animated film get to wide theatrical release.

>>85006100
because it doesn't work as a live action
Man of Steel is the closest you are gonna get

>>85006100
Because it would be nothing but 90 min montage.
There's no way to tell any DBZ saga in a film format that would have any kind of wide appeal.

If memory serves there's very little dialogue in DBZ. It's mostly internal monologue where a character laments the challenge he finds himself in. I remember whole episodes where literally NOTHING happened.

>>85006100
Impossible until they find a way to properly portray the hairstyles, SSJ included.

Live action couldn't give the source material justice.

They also talk really, really slowly.

Dragon Ball Z is from 1992.
It is too chinky for Hollywood. Even NGE is still too chinky.
Ghost in the Shell wasn't Chinky.

>>85006100
why are you talking about dbz with a pic of Meruem in the OP?

Attack on Titan is not chinky and it might have a Hollywood adaption with shitskin actors in it.

>>85006100
Because Dragon Ball Z has a lot of really out-there/ridiculous things and over-the top humor that would be incredibly difficult to pull off with live actors.

At some point down the road, by the time of Super, you have a flying baby.

They could try to make it serious, but it's not really Dragon Ball at that point anymore.

>>85006100
Only Asians could be able to do it and they won't do it as they only like crime dramas, transformers or films about teen girls/suicide.

Rip dragon ball z film

It wouldn't be too hard.

Can't start in DB because most westerners don't like DB.

If you just start with Z then its too much info that the audience wouldn't understand. You'd have to unnaturally explain all the powers and characters in the middle of getting ready for the saiyans, etc.

So if it were up to me I'd make a History of Trunks movie. People like post-apocalyptic settings, it could even be a tad-neo-80's because thats in right now. Gohan could explain to the audience the powers via Trunks' training. Gohan could tease the other characters when Trunks' asks about them.

Movie starts with Goku and Frieza fighting when he arrives on earth after namek in the main universe.

Movie ends with Trunks killing frieza in the alt.

>Frieza is a blue eye white man

Ftfy

>>85007659

that's a man, baby

>>85011491
Also have an entire episode dedicated to a character powering up with zero dialogue except for screaming.

Because at best, the translation to screen would about break even. Fans probably wouldn't like it too much and they'd fuck something up.

Dragonball Z was put through one of the most pathetically awful localizations I've ever seen. While it is and always has been corny as fuck and very obviously aimed at the shounen market, the english dub was re-cut and extended with filler garbage to maximize airtime.
Compare the runtime of these two clips of the same event:
English localization:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e_nWuEyKAk
Original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebyKpo6A9s
The difference is idiotic, the localization pads out the clip to DOUBLE its runtime by putting dumb words in the mouth of every character.
As an aside, I don't even like Dragonball Z, Toriyama's other works are hugely underrated and completely eclipsed by the success of the Dragonball franchise

>>85010733

Years later, this is still a really hot outfit.

>when people try to make serious DBZ

cringe

DB is too stylized. Live-action could never do its aesthetic any justice. It isn't worth the attempt, anyhow. There are things with better stories out there that could be adapted with much more ease and recognition of the original material..

>>85006266
It's only like that because the anime was made at the same time as the manga so they kept having to stretch things out every time they catched up to it.

>>85013078

How to turn a kino scene into a flick.

>>85013078

Man that's a lot better without the internal monologues but that music is gay as fuck. Dragon Ball was the superior series

>>85013454

Why do they keep fucking doing this with anime?

>>85013078

Cell's English voice is so good.

>>85013540
cash in on popularity

>>85006100
If they ever do it should follow DBZ Abridged and the TFS modified storyline.

It's better than the original in every way.

>>85013599

Yeah I suppose. It worked wonders for Full Metal Alchemist since the adapted it twice

because Dragon Ball Z style fights would look fucking stupid if played by real people

>>85007691
do u realise the irony in that

>>85013454
>it's only shit because x
so it is shit?

>>85013540
Same reason Hollywood is pushing out so much capeshit so fast--economics.
>>85013512
Yeah the scene is much better but it still really hasn't aged well. Shows like Yu Yu Hakusho on the other hand can actually still be watched and enjoyed today, at least for a large portion of its run.

>>85013643
Plus the way anime's are funded in japan demands things be done when they're popular. Otherwise you miss out on selling merch to dweebs.

>>85013672
I'm explaining the screaming and filler part of the criticism.

>>85011798
A DBZ movie could work if the prologue was Goku and Piccolo's fight at the end of DB, good chance to set up the characters and give exposition via the announcer

>>85013706
Yeah and no one cares about the excuses.

>>85006266
I rarely see posters on here I instantly dismiss and dislike despite the several tons of stupid horse shit spewed on this website daily by mouth breathing retards but you're one of them with this faggy opinion

>>85011633
Nice get

dragon ball is one of these things that is already too good in its original form to adapt, so it's going to be inevitably disappointing. It's better to just adapt capeshit

>>85013793
No one cares about you.

Well welcome to Dragon Ball Super where power levels mean absolutely fuck all! We're at the point that Roshi can not only fight Freeza goons but the most powerful warriors in the multiverse and 17 is as strong as a Super Saiyan God Goku because he fought poachers. And Female Saiyans? Have you ever wanted Brolly now with tits? Well you got it champ!

They were all supposed to work together, 18 had stressed the importance of team work a few episodes prior and then flew off solo immediately.

>>85011491
>the anime despair noise
This is all I remember of DBZ. Krilin and company twitching and gasping in disbelief for 20 episodes with 5 second cuts to goku training/healing in a pod/escaping from the afterlife/etc etc. Then the superfaggot finally gets there and spends 10 more episodes powering up/gasping in disbelief/powering up to an even higher level/pokemon evolving into a monkey/powering up into a supermonkey/screaming kamehameha for 2 episodes/holding up a spirit bomb for 5 episodes

Surely someone has compressed all 2000 episodes into a 3 hour movie by now.

>>85014738
Not 3 hours obviously, but Dragon Ball Kai cuts a lot of filler.

>>85014793
And all the blood.

>>85014793
I looked into it, and what this guy describes: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14966

is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe 6-8 hours? Now that I would watch. DBZ has so many autistically devoted fans, I'm surprised it hasn't already been done.

There's no need to adapt DragonBall or any anime, just as much V For Vendetta don't need to be made into a film. I hope in the future someone with power can stop Hollywood from adapting something just because they want to.

Ever since the Frieza saga, the Abridged version is legitimately better.

Live action anime doesn't work. The while appeal of Dbz is the toriyama aesthetic.

Death note will probably be good because the anime is pure garbage.
