I can’t say if Piccolo finally understood anything about romance and attraction after all these years of watching his friends and family get spouses and children, but he sure as heck learned how to flirt back and that’s genuinely a very powerful asset for someone as strategical as Piccolo XD

[runolllo]

I made me Gamma 2 stickers for whatsapp lmao feel free to use wherever... you can have one murdery Gamma 1 too. I wanted to make more of G1 but he’s less expressive than his brother and I don’t have much to work with until the blu ray releases, expect more in December :D

game caterers pt.1

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ synopsis: game caterers day has arrived! you’re more than prepared to beat boynextdoor and brag about it.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ pairing(s): boynextdoor x idol!f!reader, jungwon x reader, hybe!artists x idol!f!reader ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ genre: slice of life, smau, comedy ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ a/n: i’m waiting for the day boynextdoor appears on game caterers because they’re such clowns and so competitive. this was a monster to write and i had to split it into two parts. i tried to keep it more casual compared to my other series because it really is supposed to be fun! ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ word count: 1288 ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ read: previous or next

today was the day.

when you saw it on the schedule, you couldn’t hold back your excitement. a sequel to hybe’s game caterers was happening, and you were ready. surprisingly, all the current promoting groups were attending. but let’s be real, you were only looking forward to one: boynextdoor.

your friends had been talking a lot of trash all week leading up to the event.

you were ready to show them up and impress your seniors. being a kpop fan at heart, you respected every single one of them. of course, you knew their dances. too bad you were also super competitive. you may have dialed it down for r u next?, but you were itching to make illit the most entertaining group.

you arrived at the venue, which had cute tents that reminded you of your high school sports events. your staff guided you to your tent, placing individual fans and props on the table.

“this is so cool!” iroha exclaimed, looking around at all the cameras. you patted her head, smiling at how young she was.

“y/n, didn’t you do a lot of sports in high school?” yunah asked.

you nodded with a smirk. “i could’ve been an olympic athlete in another life.”

your members deadpanned, then started chatting with each other. you pouted, but just then, you heard a familiar commotion behind you. you turned towards the entrance and saw your boys making a scene.

“for the love of— jaehyun, don’t embarrass us in front of our co-workers,” sungho pleaded as he watched jaehyun attempt some mixed martial arts moves. woonhak laughed and joined in, mimicking his leader.

you stifled a laugh and sat beside your members. as they passed by your tent, jaehyun and woonhak made silly faces at you, while riwoo and sungho waved. taesan and leehan, both wearing sunglasses, chose to walk past you with a chic flair, tossing their hair before sitting in the tent next to yours. you couldn’t help but scoff.

you chatted with your members as more hybe artists arrived, standing and bowing respectfully as they passed. once everyone was settled in their tents, na pd-nim kicked off the picnic games. “everyone, please be ready to introduce your groups!”

you watched as your seniors had epic introductions: seventeen with “maestro,” txt with “deja vu,” le sserafim with “smart,” enhypen with “sweet venom,” and tws with “if i’m s, can you be my n.”

finally, it was boynextdoor’s turn. you leaned forward in your seat to see what they had planned. the chorus of “earth, wind & fire” started playing.

jaehyun jumped out, striking a pose that looked straight out of atla. “earth!”

“wind!” leehan struck a pose while sungho and riwoo used paper fans to make his hair blow dramatically.

woonhak and taesan came out strong, doing some martial arts moves before striking the finger-connecting pose from dragon ball z. “fire!”

the seniors went wild as the boys transitioned into their choreography, finishing with superhero poses.

you couldn’t hold back your laughter and clapped for them. jaehyun glanced back at you with a coy smile, as if saying try and top that. you had to admit, it’d be tough, but you had energy and zero shame.

“last but not least, illit!”

you sprinted to the center with your toy mic. “everyone, who do you want this time?” you asked, pointing the toy at the crowd as the chorus kicked in.

“YOU!”

your members joined you, and you started doing the choreography. at each “you,” you pointed at different seniors. for the final verse, you showcased pairs from your group who shamelessly did aegyo. at “baby, don’t say no,” you and iroha threw in a small spoiler for enhypen’s comeback (everyone, except enhypen, thought it was just a gesture).

you noticed jungwon’s face go blank (he secretly spoiled the comeback to you, and now he’s internally freaking out about who else might know). you giggled as na pd-nim cued the picnic oath.

everyone returned to their tents as the game caterers staff set up the refreshment event. just then, you got a text.

you glanced at the enhypen tent to see jungwon wiggling his fingers at you. you turned to your members with a tight smile. “guys, we might be cooked.”

wonhee raised her eyebrow and giggled. “does it have something to do with your friends bullying you?”

you glumly nodded and sank into your chair. it was supposed to be an all-illit party…

Dragon Ball shows I would kill to get to make:

Post-Cell saga adventure show with 17, 18, and Krillin as protagonists, mostly to get that sibling dynamic with Krillin as the straight man, and also to develop the romance between 18 and Krillin more. Bonus points for actually addressing 16's death and how it affected the twins, who were essentially his family.

Monster-of-the week superhero show with Son Gohan and Videl Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman, because I love those two dorks, it's about time someone did my girl Videl right, and I like superheroes

Kami and Piccolo Daimao origin story. It would be so fucking cool to see their dynamic, or even who they were before they split

Older Son Goten and Trunks take a spaceship from Bulma and visit the universe. It would provide fun planets to explore and villains to confront, great opportunities to characterize the boys aside from being a mix of their parents' character traits, and also wouldn't it be fun to have an actual gay couple besides the 3 breadcrumbs we have from Kale and Caulifla ?

Four in One Post

For my A-Pal's On This Day Post

It looks really cool having Maxwell look like a Superhero. And because of that, i hope he and Emme can be superheroes together alongside Shadow, Lisa, Spot and Vanilla. They can all save the world and same goes for Sam and Jo. Plus i have enjoyed that show on Cartoon Network, but it sucked that the show was taken off of Max alongside the other Cartoon Network shows. If i had enough money, i could buy some shows onto YouTube that i haven't seen yet. But for that, let's hope the OC Couples can go and save the world together like superheroes.

For this gift art i got from my S-Pal.

Normally Tory uses a Wand, but if Shadow was KO'd, then i'm sure Tory can use his sword and wand at the same time to look like she has bigger powers. And i'm sure with Tory, she can do something for Fei-Shih since she owes her one. Like something to repay her somehow. Even Riya would be glad for her and Tory to do something for her.

Tory 😺🩰: Mmhmm. Fei Shih. I'm glad i would use my brother's sword, since i can use it along with my want to add more power to myself and for us too.

Response to my Filipino Friend and my A-Pal

It was pretty memorable to have Banjo into Smash Bros. But i know ever since Rare got sold to Microsoft back in 2002, and i was only 5 years old when that happen. Especially i know Rare had to put Handheld titles onto GBA which i hope Nintendo can add those titles onto the Switch. And i get a lot of Theories about like i would imagine if Nintendo went too far, i would imagine with Pokemon being bought out by another company alongside Game Freak and Creatures. The only companies would use Pokemon, Game Freak and Creatures better is either Bandai Namco, or Atlus and Sega. With Namco, then Pokemon can team up with the other Anime we know like Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Gundam, Digimon, Etc. But if Atlus and Sega bought it, then we can have Pokemon crossover with Megami Tensei as well as for the Side Series, Persona. But if Sony Interactive Bought it, let's say Pokemon got to team up with some PlayStation characters on the adventure which it would be pretty cool. But my friend from Cyprus disagrees with me because he'll think it would be a lot like Microsoft bought Rare. And i'm sure Lisa, Shadow and Paul would imagine that, but if Nicolas the Pikachu, Scottie and Bonn heard about it, normally Shadow, Lisa and Paul didn't mind saying like if Microsoft does own Rare, and Paul has played Killer Instinct the latest one on the computer. But i'm sure Microsoft will offer Nintendo to put some of their titles onto the Switch or make games for both Xbox, Switch and PC.

For my Filipino Friend's On this Day Post

It looks cute for Chowder and Panini to be relaxing together. And i'm sure the OC Couples should do the same if anytime they want to relax together. Like at the beach, the park or even the forest that doesn't have too many bugs.

Videogames like Castlevania ( I like both, videogames and the Netflix TV shows), Halo, Mortal Kombat, Devil May Cry for example.

I had a Tumblr account with the same name before. It was fully dedicated as a fan blog of Castlevania. Many of the things that I had were some of my silly memes about Castlevania Netflix (most of them about Alucard).

I deleted the account because I was very inactive here and I felt a little bit limited by just post about Castlevania.

Sometimes I reblogged the nice drawings of friends that are here, sometimes I shared about ancient Egyptian history, but not so often.

After deleting the account, I didn't feel well about leave this place, so, I decided to create an account and start all over again.

I want to use this place to connect with people that enjoy the same things that I do.

So, I hope find again the cool friends who are still here, but at the same time, find new friends.

With the time, I'll be re-posting the material of Castlevania that I posted before, just in case there's someone interested.

For the last, I want to share some pictures of my favorite things.

Thanks for your attention.

🙏🏻✨

Dokkan Battle made them look great in 2D honestly! They made Gamma 1 a little tankier and Gamma 2 a bit more offensive, which makes sense. The trailers are on their t witter in both English and Japanese!

Dragon Ball: Evolution (USA, 2009)

The Gaijin Live-Action Trilogy comes to a close with “Dragon Ball: Evolution”.  Regardless of which movie is your favorite, I think it’s fair to say that DBE was easily the most disappointing.  “Fight/Win” and “Magic Begins” were unofficial, low-budget movies from the early 1990′s, while “Evolution” was produced by 20th Century Fox.  They spent seven years and 30 million dollars on this turkey. And they had actually gone to the trouble to acquire the legal rights to make the movie.  And yet...

The movie ended up being a critical and commercial flop.  In the fandom, “Dragon Ball: Evolution” has become a byword for failure.  Even Akira Toriyama expressed disappointment with the film, which is pretty rare for him. 

For my part, I was kind of intrigued when the movie came out in 2009, and I had some hopes that it might lead to big things for the franchise.  And I remember it being okay when I saw it, but I was quick to notice that there weren’t many people in the theater that day. 

I didn’t really get mad about the movie until I saw the 2011 Thor movie, which proved that a big studio could have done a better job adapting a superhero fantasy world.  Believe it or not, there was a time when live-action adaptations of comic books were just expected to suck.   The studio would just change a bunch of shit for no good reason or to make the movie cheaper and easier to film, and if you didn’t like it then you just didn’t understand movies or something.  The idea that the movie people needed to understand the comic didn’t really gain traction until the first X-Men film came out in 2000, and even then, it was understood that the movies were under no obligation to get it right, or even try to get it right. 

So I graded DBE on a curve back then, and as the MCU Phase 1 movies started to premiere, I got more and more irritated at Fox for failing to recognize the moment.  And now, 14 years later, I’m watching DBE for the second time ever and wondering why I ever thought it was okay.  It’s a terrible movie, with only occasional flashes of appreciation for the source material.  In hindsight, I realize now that I only enjoyed DBE as much as I did because of wishful thinking.  I just really wanted to like it, and I so managed to convince myself that I didn’t hate it.

But now?   Yeah, I hate it.  This movie sucks ass.  Let’s dive in.

We open with exposition, which is generally a bad sign for movies like these.  For one thing, they go over this information several times throughout the movie, so there’s absolutely no reason to spell it out at the very beginning. 

So, like the Korean and Taiwanese live action films, this one also dares to retell the story of the first Dragon Ball hunt.  Goku meets Bulma and they search for the seven Dragon Balls, but this is 2009, and that trick has been done several times already.  A timeline...

1984-1985: Chapters 1-23 of the Dragon Ball manga.

1986: Episodes 1-13 of the Dragon Ball anime.

1986: Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies

1990: Dragon Ball: Fight, Son Goku! Win, Son Goku!

1991: Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins

1996: Dragon Ball: The Path to Power

2009: Dragon Ball: Evolution

Even if the audience wanted to see this again, it still would have been a bad idea, simply because of how many times it had been done before.  More importantly, this was an American movie, made primarily to attract business from American fans, most of whom were introduced to the franchise through Dragon Ball Z, not the Pilaf Saga.  Fans didn’t want to see Master Roshi and Mai, they wanted Vegeta and Frieza and Super Saiyans.  This is probably why Fox put Piccolo in the role of the lead villain.   Let’s face it, it just makes sense.  Korea and Taiwan stuck to Emperor Pilaf, but they ended up turning Pilaf into some overpowered badass.  You might as well swap him out for Piccolo, a villain who actually fills that role. 

And also, DBE was meant to serve as the first installment of a trilogy.  This was all the rage back in the late 2000′s, as movie studios deluded themselves into thinking they could turn any movie into three movies just by wishing for it really hard.   Terminator 4, 5, and 6 were each supposed to reboot the Terminator franchise, but none of them made enough money to pull it off, so they ended up becoming a trilogy of failed trilogies. 

So rather than having Piccolo and Vegeta fighting Frieza, like everyone probably wanted, this movie tries to take it slow, introducing Piccolo first, in order to set up Vegeta in the next movie.  Only there would be no next movie, so in hindsight they really would have been better off putting their best foot forward instead of holding back. 

Anyway, let’s get on with this.  So in this movie, Piccolo is basically the same as King Piccolo from the manga, except he tried to conquer the Earth 2000 years ago, instead of a few centuries ago.  He was defeated and sealed away by a powerful technique called the Mafuba, and in the events of this movie, he escapes and plots his revenge.  But he wasn’t alone back in the olden days...

And this right here is where the movie fucked up.  Piccolo’s sidekick villain is simply an ape-like creature named “Oozaru”.  So any fans watching this thing will immediately see the twist coming.  I suppose general audiences might not pick up on this, but come on. Oozaru is presented as Piccolo’s “disciple”, but he wasn’t captured like Piccolo was.  Instead he simply... “disappeared”.  This is undoubtedly meant to set up the Saiyans in the sequel, but there would never be a sequel.

So we move on to the present day, where Gohan is teaching is adoptive grandson Goku.  Goku looks like Frodo Baggins accidentally wandered into the wrong movie.  DBE Goku resembles a lot of other movie characters from around this period.  Frodo, Edward Cullen, Tobey McGuire Spider-Man.  I could probably keep going, but the one guy he really doesn’t resemble is Goku. 

Gohan defeats him in a sparring contest, and Goku is too frustrated with his social life to learn anything.  The kids at school bully him, and he can’t fight back because Gohan made him promise not to use his power.  Goku seems to understand this, but he’s also frustrated that he doesn’t know how to do anything else.  This movie tries to force Goku to fit into some sort of classic secret identity trope, where he has great power but he mustn’t reveal it.  In ‘09, I accepted this as a new take on the character.  In 2023, I’ve pretty much abandoned DC and Marvel superhero comics altogether, and I can see now how stupid this was.  It’s like doing a Bugs Bunny movie and making him act like Mickey Mouse.  It’s not going to impress Mickey Mouse fans.  All it does is expose your inability to understand the classic character you have. 

They wanted Goku to be Spider-Man so badly, or maybe Harry Potter.  And I’m like, fuck Spider-Man and Harry Potter.  Give us Goku, you cretins!

Or... yeah, the Twilight connection is really starting to seem more apparent to me.  Everything in this movie is blue or orange and it pisses me off. 

So Goku’s in high school and the teacher is explaining what a solar eclipse is, which reminds me way too much of Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four movie, where a college professor literally explains the cosmic MacGuffin that gives the FF their powers.  And Goku’s too busy crushing on his classmate, Chi-Chi.  He hallucinates her in a field of flowers, eating strawberries, which is kind of like... not exactly horny, but hornier than Goku needs to be, if that makes any sense.  Chi-Chi really doesn’t serve any purpose in this movie, except to be a love interest for Goku, which he doesn’t really need because there’s enough going on here as it is.  So Chi-Chi just sort of exists in the film, liking Goku for no particular reason and being this hot chick.  It’s dumb.

Then the teacher calls on Goku and asks him what their ancestors would say about a solar eclipse, and Goku stammers some crap about how the Earth was nearly conquered by the Namekians during an eclipse thousands of years ago.  Everyone laughs at him, but I don’t understand what the hell this movie is trying to establish here.  On the one hand, there’s all this secret lore about Piccolo and Oozaru nearly conquering the world, but on the other hand wouldn’t everyone kind of know about that?  I mean, there would be historical accounts of this terrible battle, right?  It would have altered the course of history, but these high school scenes make it look like the world is basically the same as our world. 

Later, Goku sees Chi-Chi struggling with the lock on her locker, and her homework assignment is trapped inside.  So Goku uses The Force his ki to open all the lockers.  This impresses Chi-Chi, who already knows about ki.  Meanwhile, I’m confused.  At the beginning of the movie, Gohan told Goku to use his ki, and he couldn’t do anything with it.  So why did he even try it here?  Maybe his boner for Chi-Chi unleashed his hidden potential?

Chi-Chi invites him to a party at her house, and he ditches his grandfather’s humble birthday celebration to attend.  Oh, right, it’s Goku’s 18th birthday, by the way.  The bullies from school try to intimidate Goku, but he stands his ground and defeats them by dodging all their attacks and getting them to defeat themselves.  It’s actually pretty true to Goku’s style in mismatches like this, and I’d give it a little credit, except it’s too similar to gags used in the Spider-Man and Superman films.  One thing that bothers me here: the bullies are using like kicks and flips and shit.  They seem pretty skilled in martial arts themselves.  Not on Goku’s level, obviously, but they’re not just stock football players or whatever.  It’s another example of this world being sort of a half-inch removed from reality.  It can’t decide if it wants to be the real world or a fantasy world like the one in the source material. 

Meanwhile, Piccolo and Mai barge into Gohan’s house and kill him.  They came looking for his Dragon Ball, but don’t realize that Gohan gave it to Goku that morning as a birthday present.  Goku took it with him to the party, so it’s not here. 

Okay, so let’s talk about the bad guys.  Mai is basically Mai from the Pilaf gang, but she works for Piccolo here.  She has a hole in her costume, which... I mean I’m not complaining, but I’m starting to see that this movie really uses eye candy as a crutch.  Like, Rey’s pretty good looking in the Star Wars movies, but there’s so much other cool shit happening in those things that it’s not the main thing.  Here, just about all you have to occupy your attention in DBE is ogling Chi-Chi, Mai, and Bulma. 

Piccolo absolutely sucks.  James Marsters wanted this role because he was such a huge fan of the franchise, and I always felt kind of bad for him because he seemed really excited at the prospect of playing Piccolo in the sequels, only for this movie to turn into such a huge flop.  I guess there’s a non-zero chance he’s reading this, so I don’t want to be too hard on him, but there’s just nothing to this character.  He just glowers menacingly, destroys a place, then collects the Dragon Ball and leaves.  He pops up briefly throughout the movie just to remind us that he’s doing stuff, but most of what we know about him comes from other characters talking about him.  He’s mad about being sealed away for 2000 years, but we never learn how he got unsealed.  For that matter, we never learn why he wants the Dragon Balls.  He seems to want to wish for world conquest, but he was doing pretty well on that front 2000 years ago.

Also, we never learn how he knows where the Dragon Balls are.  It’s like how Baby from GT knew where to send his lackeys.  We see Piccolo destroy a Japanese village and then Mai goes down to fetch the Dragon Ball from some lady, and it’s like she knew exactly where to go.  But here, they show up looking for Gohan’s Ball, and it’s like they knew it used to be here, but they don’t know where it’s gone?

Back at Chi-Chi’s place, Goku’s Spider-Sense is tingling, so he runs back home to check on his grandfather and finds him buried under the house.  He pulls him out the wreckage, where Gohan tells him to find all the Dragon Balls to stop Piccolo, and reminds him to “have faith in who you are.”  That’s like the moral of this movie.  That and “the first rule is that there are no rules”.  Just hackey drivel presented like some profound wisdom.  Also, there’s a poem about the Dragon Balls, like the verses etched in the One Ring from Lord of the Rings.  Then Gohan dies of terminal cliche and Goku buries him in a shallow grave.

The next day, Bulma breaks into the house... Well, I guess that’s a relative term, since the house is already half-destroyed.  She accuses Goku of stealing her “promethium orb”, because she tracked it to this house.  Goku realizes she’s talking about the Dragon Balls, and when he shows her his Four-Star Ball, she understands that it’s not the same as the Five-Star one she lost.

Okay, so a couple of things.  First, if Bulma has a Dragon Radar in this story, why is she just now learning that there’s more than one of these things?  Second, after Goku tells her about the Dragon Balls, she just drops the whole “promethium orb” thing.  That seems kind of weird, since she had this whole thing planned where she was going to use them as an unlimited power source.  I can’t see her abandoning the name she came up with. 

Anyway, Bulma is easily the best character in this movie.  She’s not quite authentic to the original character, but she’s constantly pointing guns at people and growling thinly veiled threats.  It’s sort of a half-Bulma, with all the badass two-fisted scientist stuff, but none of the flirty, bratty stuff.

Also, I have to give her credit for the one (1) streak of blue hair, which is more than the other live-action Bulmas ever got.  Seriously though, this is like a symbol of the entire movie.  They wanted to put Bulma in this thing, but they stopped short of giving her all-blue hair.  Like, which is it? Do you want Bulma or not?  And if the answer is no, then why are you doing a Dragon Ball movie in the first place?

So before Gohan died, he told Goku to seek out Master Roshi at Paozu.  As it turns out, Paozu is a big city, and Roshi’s house is located on a weird little island in the middle of a lake in the middle of the city. 

Roshi is played by Chow Yun-fat, which was probably a big “get” for the studio.  He’s also the worst live-action Roshi I’ve seen, and I wasn’t very impressed by the others.  This is just Chow Yun-fat screwing around in a Dragon Ball movie.  He doesn’t have the turtle shell on his back, which isn’t much of a surprise, but he also lacks the beard, sunglasses, and bald head.  He has a waifu cartoon on his shirt, and Bulma finds a bikini magazine in his stuff, and that’s about as pervy as he ever gets.  Seriously, Goku is a bigger horndog in this movie than Roshi. 

And I’m not that fussed about this, since I’m not a big fan of Roshi’s to begin with, but it’s weird to me how all three live-action adaptations went out of their way to include Roshi, but refused to go all-in on the portrayal.  Like, if you don’t want a problematic sex-pest in your movie, I totally understand, but the solution is not to tone down the character.  Now you still have the character in your movie, but you’ve stripped away the only personality he had.

The solution should have been just to do a different story, one without Master Roshi.  Just have Chow Yun-fat play some other character, like the Supreme Kai or whatever else you want.  But if he’s not gonna ogle girls and wear sunglasses and have a bald head, what’s the point of calling it Roshi?

Anyway, Roshi also has a Dragon Ball, and he fills in the others on the whole deal with Piccolo and the eclipse, and whatever else.  There’s a lot of mysticism thrown around with this plot, where I can’t tell if Piccolo’s return was just a quirk of fate or some fufilment of an ancient prophecy or something.  Also, every time Goku touches a new Dragon Ball, he has visions of the future. 

Roshi’s plan is to train Goku to defeat Piccolo, and to track down the Dragon Balls before Piccolo can get them all.  To do that, he takes Goku to some “secret” training ground, but it turns out to be full of kids beating the shit out of each other as they prepare for a martial arts tournament.  Goku runs into Chi-Chi there, and she reveals to him that she’s a martial artist, but none of the others at home know. I don’t understand what the point is to any of this.

So the good guys move on to a different, more secluded training ground.  On the way, Bulma drives into a hole, and this turns out to be a trap laid by Yamcha.  He offers to help them out, but only in exchange for payment.  This seems like a really dumb trap now that I think about it.  I mean, how long did it take him to dig this hole?  And he just assumes someone will drive into it, and that they’ll be rich enough to make this worth the trouble he went to.  I mean, past a point, it’d be simpler to just get a job, right?  Or at least go rob people in a big city, like a regular criminal.

They sit in the hole well into the night, and Roshi tells the story of Piccolo and Oozaru.  He warns that the coming eclipse will bring forth Oozaru, which is why they have to stop Piccolo before that happens.  Why? Isn’t Piccolo strong enough on his own?  The implication is that Oozaru is like his trump card or something, but I don’t buy that.  He killed Gohan effortlessly, and no one else has displayed any greater ability. 

Yamcha thinks the story is dumb, but he has to sit here and wait for them to pay him before he can move on.  Then Roshi just jumps out of the hole and offers him a deal.   If he could do that the whole time, then why did he wait so long to do it? 

Meanwhile, Mai has been following the good guys, and she reports back to Piccolo that Roshi is training Goku to oppose him.  Piccolo then has blood drawn from his arms, which he uses to bring life to... whatever these things are.   They’re like the Putty Patrol from Power Rangers, only even shittier.

Goku just tosses their bodies in lava, and uses them as a bridge to reach the next Dragon Ball.  Don’t ask how we ended up in a lava floe.  Anyway, when he touches the next Ball, he has visions of Oozaru killing the others, so he resolves to defeat Oozaru, and Roshi starts to lose confidence in their plan.  They won’t have time to track down the remaining Dragon Balls before the eclipse, so he heads for Toisan to consult with someone else for Plan B.

That someone is Sifu Norris, played by Ernie Hudson from the Ghostbusters movies.  A lot of geek journalist sites said that Hudson would be playing Mutai-Itoh, the master who trained Roshi and developed the Mafuba technique that defeated Piccolo in the original manga.  But the character’s name in ths movie is Sifu Norris, and while Roshi bows to him in deference, it’s not clear that Norris was Roshi’s teacher.  And he couldn’t have invented the Mafuba in this world, not unless he’s 2000+ years old. 

Anyway, Roshi never took the poem about the Dragon Balls seriously until now, when the signs are finally starting to come true.  So he apologizes for his doubts, and asks Norris to help him prepare another vessel for the Mafuba.  Roshi plans to seal up Piccolo all over again, at the cost of his own life. 

See, here’s why this doesn’t work properly.  In the original story, Roshi told the other characters all about Piccolo’s original attack on the world, and how his old master sacrificed his own life to seal Piccolo away.  That was important, because you need that established up front.  That way, when Roshi begins planning to use the Mafuba himself later on, the audience knows exactly what it means, and how desperate the situation is.  The audience also understands how Roshi would know the technique, as he was one of the only living witnesses to have seen the technique used.

But in DBE, we don’t get that.  We’re only told that the Mafuba is a technique that sealed Piccolo away.  We don’t find out that it kills the user until this scene, when Roshi and Norris say so.  Roshi says he’s the only one who can do it, but we never find out why.  When would he have learned the Mafuba?  Why would he have learned it?  He was never worried about Piccolo until a few days ago.  He certainly never saw it used the first time around, because it was before his time.  And why can’t Sifu Norris use it instead?  He seems more experienced in this sort of thing. 

Meanwhile, Goku meets with Chi-Chi at the Toisan tournament, while Bulma and Yamcha commiserate over the upcoming end of the world.  There is zero chemistry between these two, and Bulma says she likes bad men, so she’s already preparing to dump him for Vegeta, and they haven’t even introduced him yet.

Roshi shows Goku how to do the Kamehameha, and Goku says that he’s heard of the technique, but Gohan never taught him because he wasn’t ready.  Roshi says that Goku still isn’t ready, but he has to learn it anyway because they’re almost out of time.   Well if he’s not ready, then what good does it do to teach him?  This movie really can’t make up it’s mind about Goku’s ability.  We’ve already seen him use ki powers, even when the movie insists that he has no aptitude for this. 

As he struggles to light torches with his ki, Chi-Chi shows up and basically offers to make out with him if he does a good job.  That’s the other weird thing about this movie, it keeps presenting this notion that romantic intimacy makes you better at fireball karate.  I mean, that sounds awesome, actually, but it’s not Dragon Ball.

Later, Bulma finds Chi-Chi in Goku’s room, and she thinks they’re having sex, except Goku’s not in there, and Chi-Chi’s doing exercises somewhere else.  Turns out Mai disguised herself as Chi-Chi.  At the Toisan tournament, she was in a match with Chi-Chi, and managed to get a drop of her blood, which she somehow used to shapeshift into her?  I mean, that’s fine, I can believe Piccolo has special magic that lets Mai do that sort of thing, but I feel like they should have explained it in greater detail.   Anyway, Goku finds the two Chi-Chi’s fighting, and he beats the wrong one, and Mai shoots him.

Goku has a near death experience where Gohan tells him to believe in himself or some shit, while Roshi uses a Kamehameha to revive him.  Uh, okay?

So the bad guys have all the Dragon Balls, which normally means they’ve already made their wish, but in this movie there’s still time, because you have to take the Balls to the Dragon Temple to summon Shenron.  So Yamcha drives the gang over there, and partway into the trip he just reveals that his truck can fly like the DeLorean in Back to the Future II.  So why didn’t he do that before?

The bad guys are already at the Temple, so I’m not sure what the point was of making this like a chase or anything.  Fortunately for the good guys, it seems to take a long time for Shenron to get summoned. Roshi tries to use the Mafuba, but Piccolo shoots a ki blast at him and destroys the magic pot?  Yeah, let’s go with that.

So all this wild shit is going on and Goku’s just been putting on his costume the whole time.  It looks like ass, but it’s a huge improvement over the street clothes he’s been wearing through 80% of this movie.  He goes to confront Piccolo and threatens to defeat him and Oozaru, but Piccolo calmly explains that Goku is Oozaru.  Or rather, he’ll become Oozaru when the eclipse happens.

This is really the closest Piccolo gets to any meaningful characterization.  He doesn’t develop his personality, and we learn nothing about him or his connection to Oozaru or Goku, but at least he gets to talk to another character besides Mai. 

So the eclipse happens and Goku transforms into... a slightly taller, hairier ape-man.  Why the hell did Piccolo need this to happen?  He explains that Goku was sent to Earth in a meteor to hid among humanity until his 18th birthday, when Piccolo would be ready to use him again.  So how long has Piccolo been planning all of this?  Again, we never learn how he got out of the seal from before, so we don’t know how long he’s been loose, or what arrangements he’s been making.  But apparently he had a space baby sent to Earth in preparation for this day. 

Also, what is the connection between Goku and the Oozaru from 2000 years ago?  The movie seems to imply that they’re the same character, but how does that work? They keep saying Goku’s 18, so is he the second Oozaru?  What happened to the first one?

I mean, you have this mysterious figure baked into the lore of this movie, directly connected with Goku, but separated by a vast gulf of time.  It’s almost like...

No. 

No. 

No, we’re not doing this. 

So anyway... Roshi tries the Mafuba and gets his ass kicked, and then Oozaru goes to choke Roshi out, but Roshi somehow gets through to Goku, who then... wills himself back to normal?  Piccolo can’t believe it, and Goku just repeats the line from the start of the movie, when Gohan told him “there are no rules”.  So I guess there’s no point in asking how Goku’s clothes were restored to normal, then.

So they fight, and it looks like crap, and Goku says some nonsense about how he has to be Goku and Oozaru and believe in himself, and I guess that was what had been holding him back.  All this time, he couldn’t properly focus his ki because he didn’t know his true nature, but now he understands what he is so he can do it?  Anyway he shoots a Kamehameha, and it’s dumb as hell.  The poses are all wrong, and then he leaps forward while he shoots it, like he wants to punch Piccolo as he shoots him. 

I mean, how did they manage to fuck up the Kamehameha?  They made it the climax of this movie, and it’s like no one involved in this production had ever seen the movie before.  Either that, or they studied the anime intensively, only to brainstorm ways to “improve” it. 

So Piccolo’s defeated, and Roshi’s dead.  Bulma says she wishes that it didn’t end this way, and Goku’s like “Oh yeah, that Dragon who grants wishes.” 

So they summon Shenron at the temple and holy shit this is bad.  This was the best dragon they could come up with?

So Roshi’s alive again, and Bulma says they have to re-collect the Dragon Balls, but Goku has one more piece of business to take care of.  He goes back to Toisan to meet Chi-Chi and apologize for beating her up before, and she says she let him hit her, so they decide they need to fight to see who’s really better at fighting, as this is the only way their relationship can move forward.  And that’s kind of cute, I guess, but it reminds me too much of the ending of Rocky III.  Also, “The Magic Begins” had a similar ending, but with Yamcha instead of Chi-Chi. 

And then there’s a mid-credits scene where some lady is nursing someone back to health and the guy rolls over and it’s Piccolo.  This was really stupid because they dragged out this reveal like it was some sort of shock.  Meanwhile, everyone knew Piccolo would survive, since he would have been needed in a sequel.  Also, they show him still in one-piece after Goku defeated him, so it’s not like this is a huge twist or anything.  

But, of course, there would be no sequel, so this was the last we saw of DBE Piccolo. 

This movie was a real garbage heap of a film, but there was one positive development that came from it.  Akira Toriyama really didn’t like how this movie turned out, and this probably had a lot to do with him getting involved with the production of Battle of Gods around 2012.  And that movie turned out to be a big success, in part because of Toriyama’s efforts, and this led to the Dragon Ball rennaissance we’re in today.  Dragon Ball Super has been a mixed bag in my opinion, but the movies have been great, and even the worst of Super is still miles ahead of “Dragon Ball: Evolution.”

And... yeah, that’s all I got.  So ends the Gaijin Live-Action Trilogy.  I’ll leave you with the highlight of the series: Puar smoking a cigarette.

[clovus328]

I decided to watch Dragonball Evolution for the first time since 2009 now that I’ve actually finished dbz and after watching 10 minutes I started taking notes. So here they are if you were curious:

* This movie is essentially about if Gohan was a huge loser and started trying to date Erasa, but also everyone is white

* I do like the effect of the dust swirling around when Goku powers up at the beginning

* Grandpa Gohan acts a lot like Goku too??

* Why does Mai have a boob window???

* Why is Chi Chi the popular girl?

* The hair gel bit was kinda fun tbh

* What’s with the weird food? Is that a dbz thing?

* Why does Goku sneak out to go to a party? Does Gohan have a problem with parties?

* They are learning about the lunar eclipse in highschool?

* I swear, someone just made a dbz self-insert modern AU fan fiction and pitched it as a movie

* I don’t hate Piccolo’s design in this movie, but I don’t like that he’s just a discount Frieza

* Forehead VEINS!!

* Did they watch Dragon Ball or not? I legit can’t tell

* Roshi isn’t a turtle hermit, nor is he old

* “How is Go-Hand?”

* Prophesy? Apocalypse? Final destination visions?

* I feel like everyone is acting in a completely different movie than each other

* AIRBENDING? This is avatar now??

* Oh good, glad they still have women being groped by Roshi, I was worried it wouldn’t be included /s

* Wilhelm scream

* Did they watch Dragon Ball at all? I really need to know

* Why is Roshi expositing information he shouldn’t know?

* Piccolo doesn’t shoot eggs from his mouth, very disappointed

* Tossing the very valuable dragon ball around a lake of lava

* Why has Bulma and Yamcha given up on getting dragon balls?

* No wonder I confused this move and The Last Airbender

* I like that Goku has a struggle learning the Kamehameha, wish it was actually done well

* Why does Mai shape shift now??

* “Which one do I shoot?”(tm)

* Kamehamehas can defibrillate people now?

* Superhero landing!

* Broly Moon

* Goku is not a saiyan, he’s a giant gorilla who also works for piccolo?

* Did. They. Watch. Dragon. Ball.

* Beaten by the power of love(tm)

* Yamcha has canonically killed

* This movie was so rushed

* Shennron is so short omg

* How is this a real movie? It was licensed by Tohei, people sat down and made this

*He’s literally wearing the opposite colors he’s supposed to be wearing, how??

also autumn is my fav season too, but i hate being cold! besides, when its hot out i have an excuse to wear cropped tank tops everywhere :p

[dbzebra]

I don't have any specific questions to ask so just rant about anything about DB/Z/GT/S that you constantly think about

Well I pretty much think about alot of DB constantly but lately whats been on my mind, outside stupid shit the fandom says, is that my tinfoil hat theory about DBS.

Now this isnt saying anything bad about Super despite my negative feelings on it, just something I noticed.

Something is absoultely going wrong behind the scenes in modern Dragon Ball's production. For one, the manga stuff is nowhere in sight merchandise wise. You'd think Bandai would have pushed out a dozen figures of SSJ Purple Vegeta and Black Freeza by now but nope. Nothing. Not even in the games like Dokkan or Legends. For reference, UI Goku got announced in Dokkan not even 24 hours after the episode aired.

Secondly, the horrible marketing for DBSSH makes me think they almost wanted it to fail. I know there was that leak that pushed back the release date, but the complete and utter lack of promo material leading up to the movie was wild. This is the same series that has episode titles like "Transformed at Last" so theyve never shyed away from spoilers. even DBS Broly showed soooooo much in the promos, there was TONS of merch everywhere. For Superhero? we had the same ~minute of footage from first teaser up until launch iirc. little to no merch. Theres been a few Gohan Blanco figures, but like, barely anything for Piccolo, 1 or 2 for the Gammas, nothing for Gotenks, 1 little figure for Trunks and Goten, ((and apparently one big Goten model coming soon but the movies been out for over a year by the time that drops))

Thirdly, the manga. Again, my feelings aside, its just strange. After the most recent big arc, they took like 3 months off, only to come back for a slice of life arc about Trunks (Goten was marketed but he was barely there, it was really just Trunks and I'll die on that hill), and then just retell the movie we just saw. They took 3 months off for ANOTHER retelling? What makes thigns even more weird is that the manga skipped right over the Broly movie. it was like "yeah this happened" and thats it. So??? EOZ is still clearly going to be the end to me, so I think theyre gearing up for one big final battle against Freeza but theres just so many strange decisions made these past 2 years.

And dont forget the "DBS 2 confirmed" leaks that run rampant on twitter. People keep saying their 'inside source' are telling them its coming, and then it doesnt come. Back when the movie was coming out, it was July confirmed! Then August. September, October, Novemeber, December, January, etc. and the story changed constantly, its honestly fucking hilarious and the longer it goes the funnier it is every time it doesnt get announced

TLDR modern Dragon Ball is a fucking mess production wise and has been literally since day one

Gravity and Chaos: Creating Realistic Physics-Based Animation

Welcome to our exploration of physics-based animation in the realm of 3D animation! In this article, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of gravity, collisions, and chaos—the forces that breathe life into our digital characters and environments. Whether you’re an aspiring animator or a seasoned pro, understanding these principles is essential for creating captivating animations.

1. The Role of Gravity

1.1 Understanding Gravity

Gravity is the silent puppeteer behind every falling leaf, bouncing ball, and swaying curtain. In 3D animation, we simulate gravity to ground our scenes in reality. But how do we do it?

1.1.1 Setting Up Gravity in Your Scene

In your animation software (such as Blender or Cinema 4D), create a virtual world with gravity. Adjust the strength and direction to match your scene. Imagine a character leaping off a cliff—gravity determines their trajectory.

1.1.2 Animating Falling Objects

Now, let’s drop an apple. Animate its fall by adjusting keyframes. Remember, acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s². Observe how the apple accelerates as it falls.

1.2 Chaos in Collisions

Collisions inject chaos into our animations. When objects collide, physics takes over. Here’s how to embrace the chaos:

1.2.1 Collision Detection

In your 3D software, enable collision detection for relevant objects. When a character kicks a soccer ball, the ball’s surface deforms upon impact. Fine-tune collision boundaries to avoid unrealistic intersections.

1.2.2 Bouncing and Energy Transfer

When a ball hits the ground, it bounces. The energy transfer between the ball and the surface determines the bounce height. Adjust elasticity and damping to control the bounce.

2. Simulating Chaos: Cloth and Fluids

2.1 Cloth Simulation

Cloth behaves dynamically—rippling, folding, and fluttering. Here’s how to simulate it:

2.1.1 Cloth Constraints

Define cloth properties: stiffness, bending, and stretching. Attach cloth to a character or an object. Watch it sway in the wind or cling to a moving body.

2.1.2 Wind and Air Resistance

Introduce wind forces. A flag flutters, a cape billows, and a curtain dances. Adjust air resistance to match the material.

2.2 Fluid Dynamics

Water, lava, or even magical potions—fluids add realism. Let’s dive in:

2.2.1 Particle-Based Fluids

Use particle systems to simulate fluid behavior. Adjust viscosity, surface tension, and gravity. Create splashes, waves, and pouring liquids.

2.2.2 Smoke and Fire

Smoke and fire are chaotic by nature. Simulate smoke rising from a chimney or flames engulfing a dragon. Control density, temperature, and turbulence.

3. Advanced Techniques: Chaos as Art

3.1 Destruction and Deformation

Chaos can be beautiful. Think crumbling buildings, shattering glass, or a superhero’s punch. Use rigid body dynamics for controlled destruction. Deform objects realistically during impact.

3.2 Particle Systems Beyond Physics

Particle systems aren’t limited to realism. Create magical spells, glowing auras, or futuristic energy fields. Combine physics with artistic flair.

Conclusion

Gravity and chaos are our allies in the animation studio. As you explore these principles, consider enrolling in a reputable 3D Animation course to deepen your understanding.
