reading the posts…i was beginning not to like Kracken…but i do believe this should be an asian production or at least stephen chow at the directors chair….in my opinion asian cinema is in a lot of ways superior besides the budget….if this was make in hong kong or japan with a hollywood budget it would be incredible…

Well Kracken since you are all fingers and no solutions, you write it.

Who DOES look like Goku. I have yet to meet a person who does look like this cartoon character. And I have been to a LOT of conventions where this is a popular cosplay.

I really like to know what standards those who think this guy looks like Goku take. At least an overwhelming majority of the world’s population doesn’t think so.

Kracken, why are you so hung up on assuming that we said he HAD to be white? I never said he had to be white. No more than he had to be asian.

Why are you trying to make this a race thing?? He looks like Goku. Get over it.

Alright Rodney, I can see that you think any guy makes a great Goku as long as he’s white, then

Miles, the character is not asian. He is described as a monkey boy because he has a tail.

He is an alien from a race called Saiyans.

@Kracken, the pictures look good because I can see the similarity in the characters and Emmy is so cute. Nothing to do with being white.

And no one said it was BETTER that they are white. No superiority routine here. Just that they thought the pictures looked good.

@ rodney and torim:

personally i do not think that goku is a very north american sounding name.

the cartoon character is an asian dude, why do we have to turn him into a white guy for this movie? i don’t get it. people should be able to accept an asian guy playing an asian character.

Man, some people just have to persuade themselves a hundred times these pictures look great just because the cast is predominantly white. No wonder places with a white population have still not yet conformed to the wave of boycotts sweeping all over the world.
And BTW, those who are spreading anti-Asian comments to promote the sense of caucasian superiority can just imagine how terrific a movie the Chinese and Japanese could have made if they had the kind of budget Hollywood movies get.

@Rodney i meant that since this is an American based movie an Asian dude wouldn’t fit with a cast of Caucasian people, ive also seen a live action Japanese dragonball movie…(bits and pieces) and it is the worst garbage i have ever seen, I can see how that could be misinterpreted as me bashing asian actors but that wasn’t what was i was going for.

The only reason they are calling this movie Dragon Ball is because it in fact sucks Dragon Balls. This is either going to go one of two ways. It will either play out like the first Mortal Kombat or it will play out like D.O.A, truly this is gonna be a movie that should not have been made. Too many character, to much story, too much over-the-top dramatization that only the most hardcore, simple minded and delilliusional fan would go see.
