See now that's how you properly look at things. That's how I look it too, less stress haha...Actually I am and was a Dragon Ball fan. Love it. I just know that no matter what movie is made, the original will always be there.
That and that the movie is and would have to be something else of a different incarnation. And what they created wasn't that bad.
...too bad the movie was just bad I kinda lost it haha
I'd rather there not be another so when i get reputable into the movie biz, I can make two trilogies of the Dragonball series.
The First trilogy would cover Dragonball and the second Z because let's face it , DB is an epic about a child isolated from the rest of the world thrown in dangerously strange situations after he's brought out of the mountains by a girl .
Here's my characterizations :
Bulma's kind of like a motherly/ sisterly figure to the child, and takes advantage of his strength and ignorance to help her find the Dragonballs , but not a complete bitch . Roshi is more akin to the imperfect father figure since he's a perv and all that, but an old frail wise man that never ceases to support his pupil or "son". Yamcha is the metaphor for puberty and it's insecurity as well as the angst. Pu'ar and Oolong... not so sure right now.
Kuririn is like the twin brother or rival to Goku, and while he has the downfalls of being vain , he has a kind heart that looks out for his brother .
Once I get the opportunity for to do these trilogies in the future, i hope to not only do justice to the fans , but make a film for the wider audience and to capture the essence of Dragonball to put on screen. Sure it will take a while , or it might if I'm lucky be very soon , but once i get my hands on this franchise , it will be a ride since I've been a fan since I was small. I want to in the near future meet Akira Toriyama face to face when i get the thumbs up so i can work out the details and see to it project his vision the best i can possible into adapting it .
Anybody could make a better story then what Ben Ramsey wrote. I mean he's a scab writer after all. I'm not even sure if the dude's a real DB fan. Good luck with it though
