what source can you trust from GEOCITIES? come on people, focus! However, it is true, on the OFFICIAL site---i said official not efficient---, they said, a while ago i might add, that FOX DID get the rights. And i believe they said industrial Light and Magic might be interested in doing the effects for it, not sure.
Well im not looking forward to the movie because one of my movie mottos is some things were just NOT meant to be live action...COMIC BOOK HEROES anyone?!!!
I couldnt believe what they did in X men! PLEASE! It was a joke! I was either laughing at it or squinting my eyes and shaking my head slowly and thusly: *shakes his head*.
I would rent the movie once it hits Blockbuster a day after theatrical release, though, just to see HOW they did stuff.
A quick note:
MY GOAL AT THIS POINT IS TO INFORM, NOT TO OFFEND! NO OFFENSE IN ANYWAY IS MEANT. THIS IS TO ANYONE WHO GETS OVERLY SENSITIVE TO THE FOLLOWING. I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE TO WRITE THIS IN A VERY SENSITIVE MANNER. I DONT THINK I WILL OFFEND ANYONE, BUT IN THE OFF CHANCE THAT I DO, KNOW I AM NOT ATTACKING ANYONE!
One thing that would bite Japan in the butt would be: who plays goku? Who plays ANYONE? My point being, of course, Japan's unrelenting tendency to have ONLY white people in their anime. DONT YOU DARE DENY IT! I am not trying to slam any race, i am simply reporting the obvious: nearly all anime characters are white IN APPEARENCE, they could be in the thick of Tokyo and they'd all have snow white skin and golden hair. Woo-blasted-hoo. Look at Popo...need i say more? But back to Goku, He looks more white than asian, as well as all the other guys. I dont remeber them saying anything about ANY character being from a foreign land. These guys are in China, or at least in Asia somewhere, so I refuse to believe how un-asian these guys look. Have some pride! Man, how can they deny themselves so frequently and easily?
Another example is YGO, look at Joey, Yugi, come on now, Yugi!!! WHY would an egyptian be white? Blond? It makes no sense...THey are in Asia, dont deny it! And look at their idea of an american from the US is: Bandit Keith! A bandana wearing, blond/blue/white, catholic?, rebel! How come the strongest fighter in the world is Blond haired, Blue eyed, and white skin (SSJ)? Wait a minute, that sounds like a familiar description..i think it sounds a bit like, yes--BLUE EYES, WHITE DRAGON, the ultimate monster! COME ON! If that isnt proof of anime's warped sense of race is, then you must be tuning out the obvious.
If you look at early DBZ, Goku indeed looks a good deal asian, compared to Cell and beyond, he lost what little asian-ness he had. So theres the question. Who do you cast to be goku? An asian would be nice, and accurate, because thats how it should be, but would he really look like Goku? If they cast a white guy, dye his hair, he'd look more like him, im sure, but would that feel right? Like having an Australian play the role of a US president in a movie. Would that feel right? Be honest. It comes down to race. You may be able to stretch that in a cartoon, but when you cross the threshold into reality, into live action, streching race gets hard. I think whatever their decision is, it will offend someone.
I know i am NOT the only person to notice this. I am interested to learn what you think of this post.
