Next, slam hands on table and scream WTF?!
I am not mad about Goku not being Asian, nor Picolo not being green, no, those don't matter to me. If a white actor can pull it off, I'd happily accept a non-Asian Goku. But watching the trailer, the Director and script writer obviously missed the entire point of Dragonball. The comic before "Z" is supposed to be light hearted adventure and it is characterized by a very stylized Asian atmosphere... so wtf are Goku and them fighting Matrix style in an urban city? The whole thing feels cheap and just another typical B-rated Matrix wanna-be. Puma and Yumcha kissing? Seriously, in the Dragonball universe prior to "Z"? The characters are too generic and don't have "characters" like in the manga... disappointing.
Maybe I am just upset because this would be the first time Dragonball is being introduced to many American audience, and it seems like they screwed it up big time.
