>>85605826

no ssj, no super powers, sounds weak as fuck. thats not dragon ball.

the story is a good idea, but tossing canon out of the window is fucking retarded

>>85605875
Make Bulma into a strong female protagonist.

Problem solved

>>85605826
>>85605900
Sounds more to me like they are just trying to distance it from the Dragonball franchise. Super Saiyan stuff will probably still be in it, but not referred to as such. It's kinda important to the story after all

>make a history of trunks show
>remove the whole super saiyan part of it which was a huge part of trunks motivation

lel hbo

Still gonna lack diversity. Black Gohan-sensei?

i mean i would be interested in a darker, different spin on the story for sure, but like
>>85606017 said, they better not remove SSJs and superpowers and all.

Expect every hero to be gay, black, transgender, Muslim, etc.

Expect the villians to look like they crawled out of WW2 Germany.

I see the value in dropping the DB branding.

If they were calling it something like DragonBall: The History of Trunks or something like that, it suddenly becomes less about telling a satisfying story and more about appeasing fanboys that expect it to be a direct recreation of DBZ. There would be a certain amount of fanservice required to please people watching just for the branding and that could create problems.

Think of it like that Riverdale series. Obviously Archie fans understand that it's Archie, but they know better than to watch it expecting the exact type of thing they get from the Archie comics

Wait, didn't someone post on /tv/ a while ago about having the history of trunks being the intro to DBZ because it was going to be easier to get people into.

Just sounds to me like they won't use those specific words. There is no implication that those themes are removed completely

>>85605648

Transformers; The Movie.

But yh Future Gohan was fucking hardcore.

>>85608830
Perhaps. If they have no issue with having a fully casted Gohan and Bulma, I'm sure they are willing to at least mention Vegeta. Hell, they might even make light drops of "super Saiyan". These things are always blown way out of proportion

>>85607241
No that's dumb. History of Bardock is the more appropriate special that people can watch before they watch dbz, even db

>>85608921

Actually I can see this working.

> Trunks asks Bulma about his father.
> She stops working on the time machine immediately. Looks down, sadly.
"He... He was taken from us not long after you were born, Trunks." she says, sadly. A haunted look passes over her face.
> Trunk asks again. "How did he die?".
Bulma seems to think hard about something for a moment. Then she gives him a scouter.
"I've programmed it to take you to the place where it happened. Even the Androids don't really go out there anymore."
> Trunks thanks her, and puts on the scouter.

>finale is goku transforming and crushing the last of the RR army, Bulma, Rossi and Yaumcha team up with brain and brawn to figure out how to stop Gokus Oozaru rampage

>season 2
>first half of season focuses on the worlds martial arts tournament, establishing Tien, Chaotzu, & turtle hermits rivalry with the Crane school
>Tien barely wins tournament
>2nd half is King Piccolo
>krillin and chaotzu murdered forcing Tien and goku to come together
>finale is Tien and Goku teaming up to end King Piccolo in a similar fashion with goku punching a hole through him and some egg laying
>all the dead wished back at the end
>season 3 opens with Goku approached by Kami to train in preparation for piccolo Jr. Tien is to impure to train with Kami/still an asshole
>early season episodes is training including Tien finding his center
>later and majority of the season episodes is the tournament ending with Goku victorious over JR

Z obviously comes in later.

So they had a terminator script laying around, and since they thought it wouldn't be well received because of the recent movies they retooled it to be DBZ related, except there's almost nothing DBZ about it at all.

This is going to be a colossal failure.

>>85605648

The characters from DBZ are all asian.

>>85616185
No they aren't. A lot of them are based off of Chinese mytholigical characters like Sun Wukong but they aren't all asian. Goku and Vegeta is a monkey space alien and Tien is a half human half alien with a third eye.

>>85605648
Fake news

>>85616798
>no they aren't
Yes they are, all saiyanjins are japanese aliens, Tenshinhan is japanese and Chaozu is a chinese vampire.

https://youtu.be/Gr2v52h9afI

>>85617926
>all saiyanjins are japanese aliens
No they aren't. also By your logic Goku should be Chinese, not Japanese. Also Tien is half alien. He's also a chink, not a jap. Saiyans aren't even human, either.

I don't know why you think posting that video changes anything.

>>85618246
>>85618246
>No they aren't.
Let me guess, they are all "white" americans.
>also By your logic Goku should be Chinese, not Japanese
No my logic is that is that DB is set in a fictional world with fictional countries and since the creator is japanese and the anime is japanese and the characters are culturally japanese, it makes perfect sense them all being japanese.

>Also Tien is half alien.
Stop making shit up.

>Saiyans aren't even human, either.
Yes, yes, however except for the tail they look just like any other japanese person.

>I don't know why you think posting that video changes anything
Because I like it, is that a crime?

https://youtu.be/l-33SkD_tnw

>>85605990
then why bother adapting something that's Dragon Ball related, and then distance it as far as Dragon Ball

>>85618773
>Let me guess, they are all "white" americans.
No retard, they're fucking cartoon characters. Did you not read anything that I said? They aren't human.

>and the characters are culturally japanese
But they aren't. You do know what DBZ is based off of, don't you? Goku, Roshi, Chichi, Tien, Tao, Chaotzu, and various other characters are either based off of Chinese mytholigical characters or are heavily influenced by Chinese culture.

>stop making shit up
I'm not making anything up you fucking idiot. Tien is part alien.

>Yes, yes, however except for the tail they look just like any other japanese person.
You don't actually think that saiyans look asian, do you? Are you fucking retarded? They look like cartoon characters.

Christ you're dumb. I bet you even think that the movies don't exist in universe despite the creator saying that they do in alternate dimensions.

>>85619258
>No retard, they're fucking cartoon characters
Do you know how this argument started?

>You do know what DBZ is based off of, don't you?
Everyone knows in it's based on, it doesn't mean they should be chinese when there is no china.

>I'm not making anything up you fucking idiot. Tien is part alien.
You're making it mate, Toriyama gave us a vague backstory about Tenshinhan's origin and it has nothing to do with aliens.

>Christ you're dumb. I bet you even think that the movies don't exist in universe despite the creator saying that they do in alternate dimensions.
Opinion discarded.

>>85605648
>more grounded and gritty take on the story, opting out of mentioning phrases like "Super Saiyan" that the Dragon Ball franchise has become popularly known for.

Hopefully that means they also won't get anywhere near the hyrid/fusion bs. That ruined the show when they went that route, and all that next stage of super sayin crap didn't help either.

>>85619590
>Do you know how this argument started?
Yeah, you said they were japanese. Almost no one in DBZ is based off of anything japanese. Even in universe hardly any, if any, characters are japanese. There are more chinks in dbz than japs.

>Everyone knows in it's based on, it doesn't mean they should be chinese when there is no china.
There's no Japan either, so why are you even trying to argue that they're japanese then if this is your logic?

>Opinion discarded.

Except for the creator, country and culture that it was made for, let's just stop here if you're too stupid to realize that I was referring to the awful idea of casting actors for a liveaction adaptation, I will always be against having a non japanese actor playing Songoku.

irrelevant. If I make a comic book 100% based off of Hindu Mytholigy the characters aren't all suddenly going to become white, they're going to be fucking Indian. This is like saying every character ever to appear in an anime that takes place in Japan is Japanese, even the foreigners. Who the creator is is irrelevant when arguing what the characters are supposed to be.

Not an argument. Tori was on record saying the movies happen in alternate timelines. Stop being retarded, nigger.
