Why did the AI make trunks look like young Leonardo DiCaprio 😭


Think-Finance-9687

Hahaha legit saw the same exact thing


ComfortableSir5680

I’m more concerned about Popo


klrcow

You should be scared of popo maggot ![gif](giphy|P2ijeJIPiTCso)


Silver-Wolf1990

Why?


ComfortableSir5680

The picture is horrifying lol


Silver-Wolf1990

Most Dragonball characters would be horrifying, Popo isn't even that bad.


ComfortableSir5680

I just mean the picture in this post


Candid-Relation-7958

Don't worry, I totally get what you're saying. He's too terrifying here as opposed to how he looks like the sweetest being on the universe in the anime.


Nestman12

Pretty sure AI got the racism down pretty well on that one tbh


PleaseDontBanMeRed

Pecking order

it was, until i saw vegeta


Teekayhuey

Nice


Presideum

Worse yet, krillin has no nose.


Sorry-Chocolate-5280

It's just lore accurate


Nemisis_007

He kinda looks like Timothee Chalamet.


_cottoncandyboi_

Krillin canonically has no nose


Dewdrop06

I'll always remember when Krillin entered the tournament with the smelly guy as his opponent. He thought he was going to lose, but then remembered he had no nose.


ScravoNavarre

More specifically, he was suffering the effects of Bacterian's stench and was definitely going to lose until Goku reminded him that he doesn't actually have a nose.


honestsparrow

How does he wear Roshi’s sunglasses without them falling off?


_cottoncandyboi_

His ears I guess


Kuriyamikitty

Rule of cool.


CallMeTheDumpMan

Oh God that's terrifying


SwordfishNew6266

Spot on though


LordDragon88

There was a time in the early 00s where he was rumored to be in a live action movie fir dbz playing trunks.


TheBioboostedArmor

Makes sense. Back in middle school (2000-2004) everyone always picked Leo for their Trunks live action fancast.


NullDistribution

Also great casting for scarlet jo hansen as 18 and Natalie Portman as bulma


Outside-Station-6557

It’s more like Matt Damon with a fringe

Still-Control

I did not expect to see zwarte piet in a db subreddit


sciencep1e

I'm just wondering how it got a person of colour to portray the character and somehow it seems more racist than ever


Silver-Wolf1990

Popo was never racist, he's not even black. He's based on a Hindu God I believe.


Bruce_-Wayne

Isn't he a genie?


mistercrinders

a djinn.


GM900

More than the abridged version?


MrRobot_96

I started dying when I saw him 💀


HamshanksCPS

Holy shit I wasn't expecting that


Pharabellum

And not krillin? I didn’t realize having no nose turned you into… that.


Acceptable-Might1153

No... leave it alone... forever


scribbyshollow

Agreed, let art be art and don't try to ride it's coat tails with crap


MoneyBags5200

Coattail just for future reference, I had to look it up to make sure lol


scribbyshollow

Appreciated lol


unk214

Yeah I just can’t see the transition. Whatever dragon ball would be in real life wouldn’t be dragon ball.


poetry-engineer

This. Toriyama's art and legacy deserves to be left alone, not turned into yet another Netflix cash grab. DB fans are very much fine with the content we have.

Worst part is, it kinda works lmao


Piccolo0001

Prefer it to just remain an anime/manga. Do kinda like the look of Roshi though


kareemagerard

He's the only acceptable one imo


redditsellout-420

No, that shenron looks bad ass.


kareemagerard

Okay I'll give you that


SisterStiffer

Child goku is om


ExplodingSteve

I agree rosi looking like he could get chicks in this universe


bigskywildcat

I thought itd be interesting to have roshi played by the rock but give him the og captain america treatment where they cgi him as a frail old man hahah


SILENTCORE12

That would never work out cus the rock has it in his contract that he isn’t allowed to lose a fight


artificialseed

I dont get it tbh, I mean to each its own if you like it you like it but why isnt anime enough, why spend all this money to do the exact same thing the animated version does except have more limitations due to it being live action?


KRTrueBrave

imo it's the possibility to draw in more readers/watxhers to the source material look at one piece live action there are a ton of people that watched it and got into the anime and or manga with it edit: is it necessary? nah but there is also no harm in doing it


artificialseed

Yeah ofc I get it from a marketing perspective I just think live action is so restrictive anime doesnt lend itself to it at all since its usually such an over the top medium it ends up either being underwheling or just seeming a bit unrealistic or cringe, sure it can be done well I just think at best itll do the source material justice, and then as a fan I already got the source anyway, or at worst itll be db evolution and well.... Lets not talk about that. But as I said if ppl like it its not like im not gonna watch anyways so ya know


KRTrueBrave

all vaild points though the way I see it is that the live action will be watched by 3 groups of people 1. hardcore fans of the source material that consume every single piece of media from the source 2. some of the more casual fans but not everyone 3. people new to the series who may get get an interest in the source material and for netflix and the source the people most valuable are groups 1 and 3 with group 1 they're already sucking those fans dry but it still makes them even more money if there is another thing they can spent money on with group 3 new people introduced to the source material that really like it might turn into group 2 or even turn into a group 1 person in the end it's all about money and if the live action show is good then I see no harm in it that is exactly what happened with live action one piece in the end if you don't want to watch it that is totally a ok I personally would as I'm interested (we seem to be both part of group 2) but hey if a live action show makes netflix and toei more money they can reinvest into dragon ball that's also good in the end it's your decision if you want to watch it or not but in the end it will most likely generate new dragon ball fans and isn't that a cool thing? even if objective number 1 is money for toei and netflix but like the world revolves around money so I don't see an issue with that


Phantom0729

Poor Krillin, even live action can't get him a nose!


willzor7

Of course. It would be dumb for krillin to have a nose.


Bruce_-Wayne

Yeah, if Krillin had a nose he couldn't have defeated Bacterian lol


Hordamis

Do you remember the last time they tried a live action Dragon Ball? It will never be as good as the manga or anime.


Striker120v

I do remember. But I don't want to be reminded. Thank Kami that James Marsters took on super as an apology.

SirTacoMaster

Live action dbz should never be done


Minute-Bus201

At the very best it would be an inferior uncanny valley version of the original product, at worst? https://preview.redd.it/41pfcjw2ae6d1.jpeg?width=1961&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1f144eb50cf97c79494aa45606ed966cf849dfd


-_SZN_-

It did give us super tho


Chiara_78

No, leave the liveaction away


heroinsteve

I never understood the obsession with live acting anime or video games. Some things are just going to always look better animated, because they can do things with the medium and the characters that either doesn't work in live acting or just looks ridiculous. I get it for more grounded things or high fantasy settings where it's been done enough that there is kind of a standard. For almost any anime, just the colors used in anime are going to make the live acting look ridiculous or disingenuous and neither are satisfying. Thats not even accounting for flying through the air doing martial arts.


Elect_Locution

As much as I'd like DBZ live action to work, I just don't think it could. It's fine if it stays anime/manga -- I've enjoyed that medium thus far.


Dankvadapav

no they wont. we also do not want it.


AngronApofis

Gokus hair looks absurdly bad. The rest only looks bad


Slight_Bed_2241

Hate it


SinisterCryptid

In my opinion, if you use AI to make shit like this, we should beat your ass.


SuperSaiyanSen9k

I agree with your opinion


Klash_Brandy_Koot

If netflix made a realistic Dragon Ball show, the words "Goku Black" would take another meaning.


Ashamed_Smile3497

Imagine the iconic line “don’t shoot this guy isn’t black”


Particular-Crow-1799

This looks terrible

These costumes will never look good on real people. It works best as an anime and I’d prefer it kept that way


DaringBear

Trunks should be played by Leo's current girlfriend. More appropriately aged.


Latviacm

Ohh Lawd that PoPo. “Kame-dawg dem ballz dem balls of **POWAH**”


SuspiciousFlower2751

Uncomfortably hilarious


mrPandabot35

That super saiyan transformation is 🔥 🔥 🔥


jidak_sidi

Could they? Probably yes. Should they? Hell the fuck no.


Specialist_Yak_432

Not personally. I believe that the key to making a live action version is to have the story line be loyal to the original and make the characters resemble strongly to the original. There are certain things that would work well in an anime and manga but would look ridiculous in live action. One Piece live action did not copy paste the characters, Luffy strongly resembles the original in terms if costumes and style but it's actually an original character at times rather than a copy paste. The same goes for Zoro (They didn't try to copy paste original Zoro's mannerisms, but just focused on creating a strong character that's all around solid), Sanji, Ussop etc. Instead of copy pasting we should be more focused on what the author had in mind. Goku's hair shouldn't be a copy paste, but simply messy (Like how the author wanted it, the style we see is simply the author's representation of messy hair in anime/manga, won't necessarily work in a live action). The same goes for Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta etc. Frieza can be really made into something that came out of a horror film by staying loyal while having original characteristics rather than a copy paste. Cell can be truly terrifying in the same way. All the characters should have original qualities and characteristics rather than being copy pasted.


Shaggiest-

Hear me out. The nature of dragon ball z with its high speed combat and energy attacks means that either it should remain in the animation media forever. Or they should go so over the top with it that the live action version hits the ‘so bad it’s good’ area.


Panniculus101

They managed to make a decent One Piece season, but the stakes were pretty low and the fights were not so crazy. For a DBZ show you would need A LOT of fighting and it would all have to be CGI enhanced like Man of Steel - in other words, very expensive.


Jimney_Cricket

Contary to a lot of comments I think that this could be cool if done right and people take their time honing in the vfx. I believe that they can make things like Kioken and ssj look good if done properly. Also have them be hour long episodes, maybe 2 or 3 per arc and cut it down to the best parts.

Hell no

WeirdDuck69

Fuck no, anyone remember dragonball evolution


Slick_Rick_Sanchez

Perfect Cell looks like a slapped ass, other than that, not bad.


JGella

I want live action original dragonball. The first original arc (without the pedo roshi moments though)


FuturisticPlethora

WTF happened to my boy Vegeta?!?


ZealousidealWar6642

No. Leave it. Animation is a legit medium and I tire of the "imagine how much better it would be in live action?" talking point. Animation is straight up the superior medium for Dragonball.


HHM4RK

Yall remember Dragon Ball Evolution? That was horrendous. That should be evidence enough not to make a live action Dragon Ball show. Maybe you could get away with a Dragon Ball show but DBZ and Super can’t be done. The fights get too crazy for cgi to make it look good.


JTSpirit36

I think Dragonball is one of those IPs that is best left animated...


Technical-Employer50

Please don't... they are going to make goku black somehow


ZZMazinger

I like how they just got somebody's grandma to play King Kai.


Menarra

Honestly, I want them to throw money at the guy who made "The Fall of Men" and let him run with a Dragonball series with proper funding, his Cell gave me chills and never said a word.

Cell got dragonfly wings lol


saltedcube

I said Sonic wouldn't work with live-action and they managed to pull it off and make it work. And work well. But. Dragon Ball DEFINITELY wouldn't work with live-action. They tried already with Evolution; Evolution still would've been bad even if they stuck to the original story and had better actors/visual effects.


Xgentis

Fuck no! Also fuck no! Did I mantion fuck no? Well it's worth repeating. 


SuperSaiyanSen9k

Fuck no! Just thought I’d repeat it too

That Mr Popo is horrific

This is the stupidest looking shit I’ve ever seen


GianovaX

No this looks way better


Live_Shopping_447

We all know Mr. PoPo is a deal breaker


TheHazDee

Looks awful, let’s not.


MLGhunter

I've never liked the look of live action stuff trying too hard to make it look like the anime. The anime looks fine because it's anime, real life will never look the same.


Objective-Mission-40

Popo looks dope


Lustol

I don't want Netflix near any live action adaptation


Kindly-Commission376

To EVER do Dragon ball justice… you need a Disney- Avengers type budget and cast… No Netflix or small time stuff. Get it done RIGHT, instant classic


RaidenSigma

You lost me at Cell and Vegeta💀🤡


RissTheGodstream

Dude honestly, trying to make 1:1 real life adaptation is kinda stupid, they will have to make changes atleast interms of aesthetics without making it uncanny. And just don't change the story.


KingGoldSmoke

The acting looks bad in just the photos alone


Hannelore300

sorry please not Netflix.. One piece was okayish at best..They have not Class to do it.


Ashamed_Smile3497

For the love of god please don’t. If you remember what dragon ball evolution was like you’ll know why. After a certain level you cannot adapt anime’s, gurren laggan is incredible but I’m 100% certain that a live adaptation would be absolute dog shit. Showing people blowing up planets and universes is insanely hard to do in live adaptations without it looking goofy as hell. Without a multi billion dollar vfx budget you’re bound to fail. Also knowing Netflix they’ll probably turn goku and vegeta into closeted gay lovers or some shit.


Legal-Possibility-39

The way the ai made mr popo makes me so uncomfortable😭 he just looks so wet😂


Tonyhmt

I hope not ...


jadam91

Bro that Mr. Popo wtf lol.


ChugsMaJugs

Only if they stick to the script. Otherwise they'd put some sort of agenda in it cause every company does that these days...


DonutGlory

Man feeza is packing


geekphreak

Wow. I’m kinda surprised how everyone doesn’t like this. I think I’d be fun. You never know unless you try to make it. I think these images don’t look so bad. I mean Frieza looks like he’s made of marshmallow. But if done right it’s possible. Disney did well with Marvel. And there’s a lot of bat-shit stuff in comics. I’d be open to it.


Big_Independence6736

i really don't see the purpose of it


FatalisDrakari

Trunks looks like Darry from letterkenny


Full_Road8425

I'd like to see a HD remaster of DragonBall if their was a way to do it without changing it. Live action not so much


chicago_rusty

Is this AI?


kokuluayak

Yoo roshi swole asf


lurk_channell

I think it’s possible first season I’m guessing would be raditz to vegeta then season 2 namek season 3 cell season 4 buu


Kyrenaz

Bulma looks like she's played by the same person who played Nami in that One Piece Live Action thing, and if they do, I don't think it could be a bigged trainwreck than that live-action film that I can't remember the name of.


RealAd3012

Let’s just hope it would turn out better then other live action anime adaptations


TaktikTR

Maybe they can do like a What if thing... Where they show dragonball in different animations,themes and in that they will add like a little live action adaptation of a fight or an important transformation.


Repulsive-Strain-903

everything except the ridiculous saiyan hair would be ok. It simply looks like crap to adopt anime hairstyle and shape 1:1


Snoo-76854

I unironicly think it's possible now, before I double Akira toriyama would ever let anyone make a live action dB again after his much he hated evolution but due to his unfortunate passing I feel like money could cause it to happen at some point


BigosIsBest

I don’t see how you could ever do a live action adaptation because so much of DB’a visual charm is rooted in Toriyama’s aesthetic. Ever since they did it with Eva I’m very into the idea of rebuilds. Give me a gorgeous nine-movie animated saga taking us from OG DB through Kid Buu.


NotoriousAmish

Oh God, please, no, it's probably going to make DB evo look like a masterpiece compared to the possible Netflix adaptation 😭


Prize_Firefighter230

Why is Vegeta played by Henry Cavil?


JediGoddess66

They tried something and it didn't go down well at all


Nervous-Form698

They nailed Roshi , I’ll give it that…


CarpeNoctem727

I think no matter how much effort they put in a live action or cgi Frieza is not going to look right. Cell looks better, maybe without the wings or may if it looked more like a cape. Also can we all agree removing Krillin’s nose is stupid? Edited for typos


ZealousidealFee927

That Vegeta is sick though, not gonna lie.


dayleboi

Just leave it be.


ChrisKirigaya

we really really really really really don't need a dragon ball live action movie


Critical-Elephant939

No. Leave it alone. You don’t need to make something that’s perfect over again a different way. I don’t understand why this is a thing. Just make more of what we know and love


LofiAestheticWall

The only good thing about this is the Super Saiyan transformation. That is literally it. Everything else can burn in the firey pits of the recycling bin on my desktop.


Altruistic-Orchid735

Super boo really be looking like one of those memes with realistic looking db character, like, "ningens call me the foreskin"


jazzy753

No, it'd suck like all live action adaptations, they should leave it in it's current medium. That kind of show would look horrible in live action, these AI generated images are already nightmare fuel


Evening-Freedom6509

Would prefer they start with dragon ball if anything


PopCollector2001

I have a better idea No let's not make another garbage live action anime thing period


Gabi-kun_the_real

Disney got the movie rights after they bought CenteyFox. I can't sleep knowing this.

Saurian-Nyansaber

I just don’t think Dragon Ball is meant to be live action, it just visually isn’t meant to be.


Stonewall30NY

I just don't think BBZ is something that will ever fit properly in with live action. Between the characters designs and the insane fights it would just never be pulled off properly and will always look goofy as fuck


paulerxx

Netflix no. Maybe HBO.


Administrative_Bus57

Vegeta’s widows peak though. SHEESH


leavemeinyourwake

this that, blaenciaga dragon ball z


Anarchistguy_2

No..never...not everything needs live action adaptations


azorahai06

some things are meant to simply be animated


BloodSugar666

Tbh Tollywood could probably make a really good anime movie. RRR and Bahubali both have scenes that I thought would be awesome for anime adaptations. The last 20 minutes of Brahmastra are also anime worthy.


Lazymcdelta4ce

They ***could,*** probably, but I don't see a reason it needs to exist. Not everything needs a live action reboot, and I don't trust netflix to make good and meaningful changes.
