Is that what I really think it is?
GOD, I HOPE NOT.
They’re making a live action Dragonball Z movie?
NO WAY.
And it’s filming in my city?
OH NO.
How nostalgic.
Now don’t get me wrong, I was a Dragonball Z fan when I was eleven. It sounds silly coming from ex-female fan who watched in one sitting all episodes of the series with an old neighbor one night. It is a great show if you gave it a chance…Given in mind I was eleven and could be influenced very easily. Nah.. at eleven, I was more into watching the WWF wrestling competitions with my father and dressed myself in baggy pants and hoodies to oppose the other girls who were into makeup, tube tops and boys. I didn’t have any interest in those kind of things. But that doesn’t mean I would’ve watched Dragonball Z in the first place. I shrugged it off at first seeing it on YTV as a show meant for boys with its non stop grunting, testosterone filled fighting scenes and angry looking and gender question aliens (Sorry Piccolo, I initially thought you were secretly a woman but hell, you’re a hermaphrodite). Just google Freeza and the Ginyu team already.
Pfft, I don’t know how I got into it but… it is a good show. I can’t believe I typed that. It is the first show that introduced me to the whole, you know, streaming movies online.
I see that this post is going nowhere.
But how in the world will they pull this off? I mean, green colored aliens (Ah hem, Picolo) and its perverted sense of humor will turn some people off. Who in the world calls their kids Trunks and Bra? No wait, I take that back. Parents call their kids anything these days. Even his mission will sound hilarious for the newcomers—Goku who has a heart of gold searches for the seven magic balls in order to be granted a wish by a long dragon who pierces the sky (Freud anyone?) How are they gonna do the Super Saiyan effect? Use maybe massive amount of gel and blonde hair dye? He doesn’t have much hair to do that in the first place.
Mr. Akira Toriyama was on crack when he wrote Dragonball Z. Honestly, this show isn’t meant to be on the silver screen. It promises one thing though—Hilarity will ensue.
