    i wish gohan kept his long hair, i actually really liked it though i understand why they decided to make it short, it was probably because it would be harder to make him go super saiyan with the longer hair

    My ideas for a Dragon Ball Cinematic Universe

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 07:59 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have been thinking about this a lot, but I think DB would make for a great cinematic universe - comparable with the likes of Marvel. Yes, I know adapting manga into cinema is a challenge (to say the least), and I know about the failure that is DB Evolution.

    However, I do think DB has all the ingredients for a great cinematic universe. It has many characters and story lines, filled with magic, different races and planets, gods, different realms of existence, artifacts, science, lore, etc. All the things Marvel has too.

    Furthermore, there is a lot of source material to draw from. Manga, anime, movies, games, etc. All things that work from different media can be used to construct a larger cinematic universe.

    There are a few disadvantages DB has, and the main ones are that it is Goku-centric and a little repetitive. MCU has many different protagonists and is much more diverse in general, so a universe as big as the MCU is a bit much to ask for. However, I think we can make up something. All we need is some creativity, imagination, and, granted, a little creative license.

    Below, I will explain my ideas.

    Main themes. A cinematic story line with multiple films needs to have an overarching plot, in order for the separate entries to be connected. Dragon ball, of course, has many larger story lines. Separate entries can set up plot elements for future movies. I think the main overarching story lines can be:

    • The Legend of the Super Saiyan: a story line centered on space travel, destiny, Goku's heroes journey, Vegeta's redemption, etc. This story line includes everything involving SSJ, Frieza, Bardock, and maybe even Super Saiyan God and Beerus.

    • The boy from the future: a story line focused on time travel, science, technology, Trunks, androids, etc. This story line includes everything involving Red Ribbon Army, Future Trunks, Androids, Cell and even Zamasu. We could also add some elements from Xenoverse.

    • Battle of Gods: this storyline focuses on our heroes meeting all kinds of deities, gods and demons, like Korin, Kami, Piccolo, Kaio and Kaioshin, Dabura, Buu, etc. Main characteristics of this plot line are magic, other planes of existence, afterlife, surpassing gods etc.

    • The Dragon Balls: not so much a separate story, but a recurring theme. Although I think DBGT is flawed in its execution, I do think it's main principle is actually great: when our heroes are over relying on the dragon balls, they have to pay a price in the end. I would like to include such an element in my cinematic universe. It makes the dragon balls less of a deus ex machina, and it makes the stakes higher.

    Of course, these main plot lines are overlapping each other. I see them culminating in one big endgame like event: a battle between the legendary Super Saiyan God and the ultimate evil deity from the future (Zamasu, obviously). This cataclysm is the result of all the above mentioned plot lines and will result in the destruction of the universe. Only Goku's ultimate sacrifice (a la the resolution of DBGT) will restore order. But at the cost of Goku's life and the dragon balls.

    Below, I explain which movies I think can happen. I would built up my cinematic universe like this.

    1. Path to Power: like the title says, a movie based on the 10th anniversary special. This movie introduces our protagonists, the dragon world, the dragon balls and the RR Army (which will continue to play a major role). We could even add Dr Gero to the story, foreshadowing the Androids and Cell arcs. I would add a prologue in which the destruction of planet Vegeta is depicted, through the eyes of the likes of Frieza and Beerus and their interpretation of the Super Saiyan of legends. This of course sets the story in motion, and sets up the larger story.

    2. Demon King Piccolo: this movie is an adaptation of the TB22 and Piccolo arcs. Our heroes face Piccolo the Demon King and on their way, they are introduced to Gods like Kami. The movie ends with Goku killing Piccolo, but not before Piccolo reincarnates himself. Our heroes are preparing for an eventual next encounter with Piccolo.

    3. Saiyan Saga: the next movie is an adaption of the Saiyan Saga, introducing characters like Vegeta, Gohan, King Kai and more Saiyan lore. The planet Namek is mentioned for the first time. Goku is an adult now, and teams up with Piccolo jr. The movie ends just as the Saiyan saga does in the manga, with our heroes venturing to Namek. In an epilogue, Frieza is reintroduced, setting up an eventual encounter with the Galactic emperor.

    4. Disaster on Namek: this is the first movie where we need to have some creative license, since it's an original story (based on source material, of course). This movie introduces us to the Planet Namek before the cataclysm. Over the course of the story, we follow the original Child of Kataz and his life on Namek and Earth, facing inner and outer demons like Garlic jr. and Piccolo the Demon King. The movie ends with Kami creating the dragon balls. The point of this movie is introducing more lore about Namek (which we will visit next) and the dragon balls. This is the first instance where we learn about the negative consequences over overuse of the dragon balls, foreshadowing a Shadow Dragon like storyline in the far future.

    5. Legend of the Super Saiyan: mainly an adaption of the Namek/Frieza arc. Our heroes search for the dragon balls on Namek, face Vegeta and Frieza and eventually team up with Vegeta. Goku turns SSJ, fulfilling the legend, defeats Frieza and Namek gets destroyed. The movie ends with Goku being lost, somewhere in space.

    6. Bardock, father of Goku: the first phase ends with a movie that functions as a bridge between the first phase (about the legendary SSJ) and second phase (about time travel). This movie takes elements from the Bardock special, DB minus and Episode of Bardock. The movie tells the story of Bardock, a Saiyan who foresees the destruction of planet Vegeta. He fails to stop Frieza, and gets warped back in time. There, he faces Frieza's ancestor. He defeats him while turning Super Saiyan, thus creating the legend of the SSJ in the first place. The movie ends with Bardock meeting Chronoa, the God of Time, explaining to him that Bardock caused the first temporal paradox. This sets up the next phase, which is mainly about time travel.

    7. History of Trunks: this story starts with Frieza and Cold arriving on Earth, with Goku there to stop them. Later, Goku dies of the heart virus. The Trunks special unfolds as we know. The androids arrive, kill everyone, Gohan trains Trunks, etc. The story ends with Trunks going back in time and defeating Frieza and Cold.

    8. Cell Games: basically the story of the Androids and Cell arcs we know form the manga. Trunks arrives in the past, helps our heroes defeating the Androids and Cell. The story ends with Goku sacrificing himself, Gohan taking up his mantle and Trunks defeating Cell in his time line. Here, we can have Chronoa make her second appearance. She warns Trunks about causing many temporal paradoxes, just as she warned Bardock two movies earlier.

    9. Majin Buu: the Buu arc. Kaioshin comes to earth, warning our heroes about Buu. Everything proceeds as we know. The main point of this movie is that our heroes (mainly Goku, and to a lesser extent Vegeta) are able to achieve God like powers in order to defeat Majin Buu. The movie ends on a cliff hanger, with Goku being invited by Beerus to train with him - foreshadowing the Super Saiyan God.

    10. Battle of Gods: Goku and Vegeta train with Beerus, aiming at achieving Super Saiyan God. Beerus tries to recruit both Goku and Vegeta, so that he has a team to fight in some kind of multiversal godlike tournament (based on both the Champa and Tournament of Power arcs). During the tournament, Goku and Vegeta surpass Godlike power leves.

    11. Zamasu Arc: After hearing about Goku being able to surpass the gods, Zamasu sets his zero mortal plan in motion as we know form DB Super. Here, we are being reintroduced to Trunks and his timeline. Trunks goes back in time again, to ask Goku and Vegeta for their help. They gladly accept, and accompany him to his time line were they are able to defeat Zamasu. But the damage done by Zamasu is great, almost all living beings are dead. Our heroes collect the dragon balls to bring them back.

    12. Shadow Dragon Arc: Our heroes wish to restore the damage done by Zamasu, by using the dragon balls. That backfires, as our heroes were over relying on the dragon balls. Furthermore, all the temporal rifts have created instability. The shadow dragons emerge, breaking down reality and existence. Our heroes fight and defeat the shadow dragons, but at a great cost: Goku has to sacrifice himself and the dragon balls in order to restore order (based on the ending of GT).

    That's how far I came. I am still doubting on including other story elements, like Baby/Dr Raichi/Granolah (beings who want to get revenge on the Saiyans) or Broli (DBS) - but I am unsure how they fit into the larger narrative. I actually like how everything sets up the final conclusion, and I don't want to have too much filler.

    What do you guys and girls think? Looking forward to discussing a potential Dragon Ball Cinematic Universe, thanks in advance!

    I really like Ultra Ego here’s why

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:34 AM PDT

    It fits Vegeta's character perfectly

    Purple is the color of royalty (if that's the official color scheme)

    Vegeta is an over thinker so instead of trying to learn Ui or something like that he worked with what he has

    It looks like a lot like the concept art for SSJ3 which Vegeta doesn't have lol

    Him not being able to use it fully or beat Granola in a fight in it just shows his character development

    It gives purpose to all the training he did in the Moro/Granola arc

    "Kakarot's body may have a mind of its own, but I'm all ego. In fact, go ahead and call this Ultra Ego."

    What would you say the flaws are in OG Dragon Ball?

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:56 AM PDT

    For the most part, I'd say OG Dragon ball is the best out of the main 4 (OG, Z, GT and Super), but it's not perfect. I was wondering if anyone had any problems with it and what those problems were?

    Thoughts on the Ocean dub Vegeta?

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 02:12 PM PDT

    Okay, so I know the Ocean dub of DBZ is quite controversial and many (especially the sub only watchers) consider it to be a mockery and embarrassment to the anime. However, after watching it I just can't go over how much I like Vegeta's voice in it. Brian Drummond does a fantastic job and in my opinion is the best thing in it. So I was curious to see what the Ocean dub haters think about his Vegeta voice? Is there hate towards it as well?

    Let's compile a list of reason why Frieza is an all time great villain in fiction.

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 12:34 PM PDT

    The only i got for now is these 3 :

    • Frieza is a fascinating villain because of how his perspective contrasts and challenges Goku's. Goku's whole life is defined by his belief that hard work, training, and perseverance can overcome any obstacle, while Frieza's life is defined by his belief that he is naturally superior to all other beings and no one will ever have a chance of matching him. Their core philosophies contradict each other, so their fight goes beyond a match between two people and becomes a battle of these philosophies.

    • Frieza is in so much in Dragon Ball story that it's actually surprising that his saga (Namek saga) wasn't the last one in Dragon Ball. He really felt like the big boss of Dragon Ball. He's the killer of the main hero dad, the one who eradicate the Sayian race, the one who destroyed the planet Vegeta and the one that made the legend of Super Sayian come true. He's directly or indirectly responsible of the entire fucking series.

    • Being pure evil is a thing, but being that entertaining is an another. Beating Vegeta up but taking the time to eat a crab, beating Vegeta up and looking at Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan and saying "you can come to save him if you want." while knowing damn well they will not do shit. Or maybe killing the father of Broly on purpose and then act like you're shocked.
