Chi-Chi never had much character aside from "blushing bride" –> "psychopathic, obsessed, super-mom" anyway. If she's good enough, then she's good enough. If not, the rest of the cast will more than make up for her.
Dragonball: Evolution (Live-Action Movie)

I'm watching a 11-year-old episode of Law and Order on TNT and Emmy Rossum is in it. For an 10-year-old at the time she's pretty good. Haven't really seen her in anything else, I should probably one day see The Phantom of the Opera.
-
Phantom's a pretty great film despite fans of the stage cast critizing the singing.

I know this may be suicidal of me, but…

FIRST LOOK AT PICCOLO.
-
! …he's not even green. What the hell.
! Like, that's the first thing you notice about him in the anime. That he's a huge fucking green demon man with a fucking turban.
! I mean, it's like casting an albino as Popo. >_<Spoiler text added so I don't ruin the AHAHGHGAHGHAGHAGAHGHness of seeing the pictures first..
-
I wonder if that genius knows that unlike his son Daimao doesn't wear a turban.
-
I think Piccolo looks great. A little different from the original, but still very impressive and badass.
-
eh, even if he's not green this movie still has potential. They may even cgi in the green later. You never know…. They've changed the plot like 5 times already..
-
Piccolo looks pretty cool in my opinon.
-
Ooh, those bumps near his temples! I think we've got some antenna there (albeit they look retracted).
Ack, one of the pics is gone!
edit: I've been thinking… a dude who's been locked away in a rice cooker for a hundred years probably wouldn't have the best skin pigment anyway. So it kinda makes sense for him not being bright green.
-
Ack, one of the pics is gone!
Which one? I saved all of them the very minute I saw them, so I can host it somewhere if you want.
-
Here's hoping they're saving the more traditional look for when he gathers the balls and wishes for youth.
It's disappointing they ignored the antenna but I'm not going to waste keystrokes bitching about it.
-
@Sandai:
I wonder if that genius knows that unlike his son Daimao doesn't wear a turban.
Yeah, yeah. I saw DBZ before getting to the bit in the manga where the original is introduced, so Ma Jr. is the one I think of first when one says "Piccolo." No need to be an asshole about it though, especially considering that I'm pretty sure that I've never insulted you before.
Aside from the clothes, they're pretty much identical so what I said still applies. No antannae kind of sucks, but I can tolerate that. It's like not having goofy anime hair on Goku, some things are just going to be different.
But still, Piccolo is supposed to be fucking GREEN.
-
^^
Haha, who cares?With all of the changes they have made thus far, did you think they'd follow through with that?
I'll watch the trailer, but that's it.
-
I just loled at those pics of Piccolo XD
-
snrk It looks like an extra from Star Trek has lost his way.
-
Here's the problem I have with the movie.
When I was in jr.high and elementary I used to watch dbz every morning before school and when I got home from school, I also had the pleasure of watching DB as well.
The story of DBZ is so epic that it can only be told that way((apparently not. :/ )) and if put into a movie then as long as you stick to the manga story line then you will have tens of thousands of people see it when it's released.
BUT! The people that came up with the idea for this movie have decided that they could make a better story line then the creator himself!
So what do they do? First, they put Goku, who can pretty much kick any normal persons ass in a freking highschool.
Second, the toss out krirrin like he's yesterday's news**- what the fuck? he's a F'n main character!?**
There's more. Third, bulma's hair's not even the colo it's suppose to be?!
Fourth, piccolo? He's not even green?
Don't. Don't even get me started.
and the Fith and final problem I have in this movie,
tetu? a fucking new character?
Seriously. I am truly disappointed at this movie.You know what? I think Hitler expresses my feelings perfectly, just go listen to him.

@kaze, not only have those rants been done over 10 times in the past 50 pages. some of those things aren't even what decide whether a movie is good or not.
You just reduced yourself to the fanboy status, the only cure for it is the logic potion, but you have to make it yourself.
but like I said, things can still change in this movie, it's not nearly set in stone yet. The TRAILER was just shown, remember the simpsons movie, and how much they changed?
-
Piccolo is going to be the saving grace of this movie. If Piccolo doesn't look badass and somewhere near his original design this movie for me is going straight to bootleg. I trust James Marsters to play the part well, but I dont trust the make-up department their part right. And about Bulma's hair, It's not that I mind that it's not blue, but those pussy ass blue highlights are the worse form of cop out i've seen in years. Either make it all blue or stick to brown. Its like they're saying, "We know the hair is blue but we don't give a damn, so heres some shitty highlights!" [/rant]
Just quoting myself. Limewire, here I come.

Brothers.

Would you rather Piccolo look more like this?
He looks badass as he is. Not spot-on to the original, but still badass.
-
**gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
HE LOOKS LIKE AN ASHY ALIEN**
-
Kaze-its not realy THAT epic-there isnt realy much STORY per se in DBZ. :/
-
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
HE LOOKS LIKE AN ASHY ALIEN
So ashy that he can rub his feet together to start a fire! ahem
I'm going to say something bad…..
I...I like how Chatwin looks in the new outfit. T_T
I'm so ashamed! All this time I've bashed the way he looks, and now I'm having less issues with it. T_T
HOWEVER!!!
!
Anyone notice that the symbol on the orange shirt is on opposite sides on both of these pictures?
Also, from the looks of the backdrop of these photos, this movie screams "low budget", no matter how high of a budget they had.
-
lol fake lookin' rocks
-
I do not agree with Piccolo's look. Making him green and antennas would take care of half the problem… but he looks a bit too... feminine, especially that last image of him. It shouldn't have taken much to make him look more evil. Some prosthetics to extend his brow would have worked wonders. He REALLY looks like Frieza in that last shot.
-
and we all know just HOW Freeza looks :/
-
Eh, he does not look cool at all.
-
Eh, he does not look cool at all.
He DOES look cool. But he just doesn't look very much like the original Piccolo.
-
Now that I think about it he does look like Ivan Ooze :P
-
lol Ivan Ooze. sigh Nostalgia…
-
Now you said the magic word :/
I'ma go on YT and try to find the Morphing clip from the movie. -
I have no idea what the hell the problem suddenly is with the Power Rangers movie.
-
There is no problem. What the hell are you talking about?
-
Zkaiser-and as Roger Ebert said "5000 years old and he's stil have an english name".
-
-
I second that.He apears as if mr. Ooze would actualy SPEND those 5000 years inside that egg.
-
Damn that Piccolo screenshot killed what little enthusiasm I had for this movie
-
No, no he doesn't.
Um, I'll say it again. Yes, yes he does. The ONLY reason people are bitching about the way he looks is because it's not like the Piccolo they know. On it's own, it's a very nice character design.
-
Yes nice design. But does it look like Piccolo?
-
There's only ever been one Piccolo look–Toriyama's style aside--so what do you expect?
-
Improvement

He DOES look cool. But he just doesn't look very much like the original Piccolo.
no he dont
he may to you…but to me he looks like an ant + Caucasian person love child
-
That first one looks like cosplay and the other doesn't even look real. This design they've come up with, while different, is more realistic and feasible, and better suited to a movie starring real people.
Look, I'm not saying I'm not a little disappointed too. I'm just saying it's not worth fussing over and assuming the entire movie's gonna be bad over one or two tweaked character designs. Not by a long shot. So they wanted to make Piccolo look a little more like a real person or modern idea of a scary humanoid alien, rather than a bright green slug-man. In retrospect of some comments from Marsters, there's even a very likely possibility that the pastiness is because of his age and imprisonment, and his green-ness gets restored along with his youth.

Come on. One or two? I like your faith but you're getting delusional.
Yamcha
Bulma
Piccolo
Master Roshi
Krillin
Puar
Cymbal
TambourineMore than one or two.
-
Okay, I'll play along.
Yamcha
"Desert Bandit" translates to the punk, biker-ish look very well.
Bulma
Normal people don't have blue hair.
Piccolo
I'm done going over this one. Your choice whether or not to ignore me or actually have any semblance of an open mind.
Master Roshi
Who knows. Maybe it was a preference of Chow Yun Fat, or maybe the producers decided a guy with practically his entire face hidden behind his beard and sunglasses wouldn't be taken seriously enough. In live-action, Roshi with grey hair quite possibly looks better and more "wise old master"-like than bald Roshi with ridiculously-huge facial hair. Personality-wise, though, we seem to have our same old Roshi. He's dressed for the part, too.
Krillin
They gotta save some of the heroes for the sequels. This first movie is Roshi and Yamcha's turn to shine. I'll expect Kuririn and possibly Tenshinhan in the next movie.
Puar
Flying, talking, shape-shifting little blue cats are taken even less seriously than people with blue hair. Do we want this movie to look like Lazytown or Blue's Clues?
Cymbal
TambourineGeneric spawned monster henchmen who barely got names aren't super-necessary. Piccolo's got these "Fulum Assassins" filling the monsters role, and a vastly-improved incarnation of Mai there as a second-in-command.

It's funny how the realism card gets played eventhough this is used to defend a movie about a motley crew of humans trying get their hands on 7 mystical balls capable of granting almost any wish before an evil alien and his army can all the while using beam attacks and extending poles and such.
