There is no correct answer. I know it's a cliche to say this but this simply doesn't translate into film, not in a way that anyone would ever want to see.

Trilogy of movies. King Piccolo Saga, Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga. Adding elements from other sagas to keep it consistent with the show.

Try to be as faithful to the anime as possible. Age Goku up to be a bit more relatable in the Piccolo Saga, but no highschool bullshit. Maybe make him 17 or 18.

Puppetry and effects from the Jim Henson Creature Shop. Think a more modern looking Dark Crystal in terms of visuals with brighter colors.

Really attempt to replicate the feeling of Dragon Ball in live action. Keep the setting and tone as close to the original as possible.

Title them:
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball: The Frieza Saga

Maybe tease the cell saga at the end of the third movie as some fan service, but never follow up on it. I think a trilogy ending with Frieza would work the best structurally

>>85858505
Sounds great

Too hard

Hollywood won't make it all Asian & SJW's will bitch if they Whitewash it even though Goku is a fucking Alien

was vegetas forhead always this big

>I think a trilogy ending with Frieza would work the best structurally
The original graphic novels were supposed to end with Frieza defeated and Goku dying in the explosion of planet Namek, but the series was so popular that the publisher decided not to let it end. I like your idea, though, the only problem I have with it is that the 'Z' title should be reserved for the final movie, since it was originally meant to symbolize the end of Dragon Ball.

>>>/a/

>>85864713
Z is way too marketable to put off for that long

>>85864713
nah, never was true, never will be. He has wanted to end it since the very first Pilaf saga ended. He's just a lazy asshole who shits out a story every week that somehow manages to be awesome, screen name worthy.

>>85855560

Here's a sad fucking thought.

Try to cast an english adaptation with all asian actors.

Can't do it?

Now try to just cast Goku as asian.

A good adaptation will never happen because SJWs will complain about whitewashing, and studio execs are too pussy to actually cast a male asian lead in anything.

>>85865313
Nobody in Dragonball is asian except 17 and 18

>>85865404

Basically the only non-asian characters are furries or aliens. The saiyans are heavily coded as asian.

Dragonball is basically a utopia future where Japan won world war 2, and the only remnants of europe are the RR army.

Piccolo - black

Tien - Asian

Yamcha - Asian

Krillin - Asian
