Dragonball fans should recognize the giant monkey above as Goku in his "Oozaru" state; it's one of the batshit insane things about Dragonball and DBZ that has made it so endearing to fans around the world. Now, a picture has appeared of what could very well be Goku in his Oozaru state from the live-action DB movie.
A clever journalist might say that Fox's adaptation is "monkeying around" with the original anime. A bitter journalist might say that Fox has "thrown its poop" at the original, beloved cartoon series. I, however, say the live-action Dragonball movie has shit directly into the mouths of every single fucking DB fan in the world. Hit the jump to see the pic.
HAVE GOT.
TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.
Why? Just...why? Why bother spending all that money on the Dragonball license if you weren't going to pay any fucking attention to the manga or the show? Why make changes that will not bring you any mass appeal, and only serve to piss off the fans? Why fucking bother including Goku's Oozaru form at all if you were going to make him look like an alien from the fucking '60s Star Trek series?
Fuck. Maybe this isn't real. Maybe it's something else entirely. But a movie that would arbitrarily change Piccolo's skin color from green to white—a change so unimportant as to be insane—could and wouldeasily change Goku's ape transformation into...this...fucking nonsense.
Fuck. (Via Comic Book Movie)

I hate this movie, it doesn't exist in the DB universe to me. I'm going to pretend it's not even being made.
I didn't even realize they made Piccolo white....
nm....there's nothing to see here, move along
fucking idiots

I admit that the picture is disconcerning but instead of kicking and screaming like a toddler I plan to watch the movie first and then pass judgment.
I know. Wacky concept.

Shoot. What I meant to say was:
This is ridiculous. It's a waste of a license. I was legitimately excited to see my favorite guilty-pleasure cartoon show turned into a movie...but only because they were seemingly adapting the Piccolo saga. Now this is what we get?
Why couldn't it have been a fun, silly movie about kids on an adventure?

Hah!
Despite my passion for Japanese culture, I'm not a fan of Dragonball in the slightest.
I have however read every line of your hatred for the upcoming movie and by osmosis feel total disgust for it too.
Your dig at 'journalists' (before the jump) had me laughing out loud so I had to commend you. Im far too used to the terrible puns and word plays that we get in the English tabloids I do my best to avoid.
I doubt Im the only english reader, but I thought I'd make myself known.

That shit looks reptillian, I mean I was expecting like original Planet of the apes look or something like that when I clicked, but no they couldn't even do that?

I myself am completely ignorant of the whole Dragon Ball Z mythos, so reading these posts is always an exercise in seeing what fans of a franchise think of Hollywood License-Rape when they get ahold of one of their beloved franchises.
Kind of like what I imagine someone out there is thinking when they see all our comments and post about the G.I. Joe movie clusterfuck.
And yes, I agree with everyone--your rage is finely honed, like a bone knife of outrage, and I love to watch it draw blood.

NOOOOOOOO!!! You FOOLS, what have you done?!?!?! Not that I actually expected much from the whole live action DBZ movie, but this? REALLY? Let's just hope it's actually something else entirely... :(

Is there a chance this could actually be Frieza or Cooler?
My childhood gets a bi-monthly raping by these facking movie companies. Underdog, Alvin and the Chipmunks, ..... at least transformers didn't suck.

Uhhhhhmmmmm that clearly looks more like a late-season Deep Space Nine alien than an original Trek alien thank youuuuuuuu
And just think if this movie is a hit there'll be sequel after sequel of stuff like this!

Y'know...this has got to be a joke. All the shit they're releasing is just...such low grade, B-budget movie bullshit that they can't be serious. I bet it's all just to stir up the fandom, get everyone all in a huff about their childhood being so blatently raped, and then when the actual movie is released then it's fucking gold.
That has to be it. That has to be it.
Otherwise...no.

I don't know what's funnier: The fact that the people making this pile of shit keeps finding new ways to make Michael Bay's raping of Transformers look like he actually really loves Transformers compared to the assholes raping DragonBall or the fact you guys still are holding out hope!! This is going to be at best, a movie to knock Battlefield: Earth off it's perch as the worst shit ever put to film!!
I mean c'mon guys. Give it up!! This movie is going to be the worst comic/video game/anime adaption EVER (Yes that even includes Uwe Bowell's "BloodRayne" adaption hehe)!!

Zac, I think you were referring to the awesome Jem'Hadar from Deep Space 9?? If I see Goku with a tube in his neck taking in "The White" like Jem'Hadar do, well than we all know what else they raped to make their version of Oozaru!!

When/if this happens while your watching it in the theater. Throw your hands up and shout "DONE" and walk out.
*not my idea, just a really good one I'm passing along to the fans.

maybe it's a part of the transformation. i don't know, it has been a while since i have seen it, but there had to be a wolfman like transformation right? i mean it wasn't just *poof* giant ape, was it? maybe it isn't done...

LBD "Nytetrayn" said:
Tanath> Actually, I saw that theory posted elsewhere, that maybe this is like a middle point of the transformation, or where he starts to change.
Reminds me of the Super Mario Bros. movie. A lot of promos and stuff showed this weird version of Koopa that was like a humanoid T-Rex in a suit, all lizard-looking, but in the final film, it was just part of the stages of transformation.
Yeah, I know no one wants this compared to Super Mario Bros. (I liked it for what it was, rather than for what it was trying to adapt), but it's the closest comparison I could think of.

The meltdowns here are hilarious.
I think it looks cool, while not related to the original in anyway, it's actually a good design.
I wasn't expecting the movie to be good, or an accurate adaptation (which, by the way, would be just as awful, or worse), so I don't care and enjoy seeing how the movie people twist themes of the series to their liking.
You can keep you freak outs, I'll sit here, entertained.

Calm down. Maybe this is a transitional step for his transformation. Look at old DBZ cartoons when Goku, Gohan, & Vegeta start to slowly turn into the ape(or when they turn back). It looks like what we see above.

LOL. I'm going to watch this movie just to get a good laugh out of the whole thing. It just looks utterly rediculous. To me, it looks like a star wars alien reject with down-syndrom.

Hey now. That's a pretty neat design. For anything else. As far as an alien monster, that's pretty cool. As an ape monster, not so much.

While I feel that Dragonball does indeed totally suck in all possible ways... It does seem like they 're trying to make something even worse than the original live action DB movie from years ago, in which all fights with bad guys were resolved with machine guns.
Sucks to be a DB fan.

Street Fighter, Super Mario Brothers, Mortal Combat. DB will soon join this pile of shit. I'm not a big fan but I still feel sick. They should have given the money they spent on this fuckery to a charity or something. Can you say straight to video? I have to take a shit now.

You know, despite the whole white Piccolo thing and the non-blue haired Bulma I was actually thinking of seeing this movie just to see what they were going to do with it. Now I'm refusing to go see it in theatres.
