Dragonball Movie Clips Punish the Just and Unjust Alike
You know, like natural disasters. Burning hot lava from a volcano doesn’t care if you’re a good person or not; it’s going to melt you anyways. In the same way, these Dragonball movie clips. You know, I didn’t think it was possible, but seeing Yamcha in the live-action movie actually gives the original anime Yamcha depth and nuance by comparison.
Lest I be accused of being a hater/poopy pants, here’s the bright side of the above horrendous clip — it makes certain other clips look kind of good. For instance, when Piccolo meets Gohan:
See? That wasn’t so bad. Some action. No one started floating nonsensically. There was very little dialogue. Admittedly, that’s the only one of seven clips over at MovieWeb that’s even slightly not mind-shatteringly awful, so do yourself a favor and don’t check them out. Especially the clip where Goku meets Bulma. Because dousing yourself in lava is frankly preferable.
