Oozaru????

[The Game]

I don't think DBZ is dead but the peak of its popularity has gone, imagine if the movie had come out then (made well of course) it would have been insane huge

 

[The Joker_1000]

It can still be huge & I'm kind of glad this project wasn't made a few years ago. Now we'll have a new chapter in Dragon Ball history & now the story will be even more fresh.

 

[†~AntiChrist~†]

I think Goku turning into a giant monkey would just look stupid on screen id say its best left out.

Noway it should be put in...It wouldnt be right without it ..

 

[The Joker_1000]

Exactly, Goku should at least transform once into an Oozaru in the movie.

 

[†~AntiChrist~†]

Hey..Vegeta why were you banned?

 

[LEGO Spidey]

Fangirls beware, if Goku does have a tail and/or it grows back halfway through the movie, we might end up getting Chatwin rear nudity... It'd be very much in line with the manga, at least.

 

[COMPO]

i never understood why when Goku returned from his training with Kami he didn't have his tail. I know it must have been cut off but, why'd they choose to scrap all the tails?

 

[Dedpool]

Well, for a couple of reasons. Number one, Kami knew Goku's tail could only be used against him, whether it be by its extreme sensitivity to pressure, allowing an enemy(such as Piccolo Daimao) to grab it and render him helpless, or involuntary Oozaru transformations that would endanger innocents, even his own friends, seeing as Goku had no control over himself while in that state.

Number two, although Roshi had destroyed the moon to prevent any further transformations by Goku, Kami sought to restore it without making Goku a dangerous force again, so he permanently removed his tail with his god-born powers, which kept it from growing back.

 

[Morg]

Because he's a prick.

want to join him?

 

[The Joker_1000]

Hey..Vegeta why were you banned?

Because they claimed I released too many spoilers in the Cloverfield thread yet a bunch of other people came & said basically what I said without being banned.

 

[MoPlaYa]

someone needs to deleted this thread or merge it with the Hyperbolic lounge...no one is talking about the Oozaru in here

 

[The Joker_1000]

Is every topic on this site strictly on-topic?

I don't think so.

 

[Dedpool]

It's one of the slower moving DB threads, but I think it serves a laudable purpose until we get confirmation one way or the other that Oozaru is or isn't being included with the film.

 

[MoPlaYa]

true but this could easily be discussed in the Goku thread

 

[The Joker_1000]

Yep, pretty much.

I keep watching King Kong & I'll tell you, Kong looks badass. I still think that's how the Oozaru should look if it's in that movie.

 

[MoPlaYa]

That would be cool

 

[†~AntiChrist~†]

That would be cool...With added snout, tail, teeth and upright standing

 

[DarkSuperman]

It would be a shame if the public was deprived of a giant monkey poo attack. Can you imagine?

Yamcha: Goku noooooooooooooo! You had taco bell for lunch!
Oozaru Goku: RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRR! *Splat*
Bulma: That's one stain King Piccolo ain't getting out.

End Credits. LOL

 

[The Professor]

I'd rather them keep Oozaru out than put it in and have it look ridiculous.

 

[DarkSuperman]

King Kong looked pretty damn amazing to me lol

 

[arman200]

yeah, I don't think it'd look ridiculous. You could make anything work in cinema if you do it right. A good enough special effects team and some editing , and you could get the oozaru down.

pretty much nothing is impossible these days. The sky is no longer the limit...t:

It's been said many times that what works for a comic/manga/anime won't necessarily work for a live action movie; I agree with that, and I think that the Oozaru transformation is one of those things. It's not that it couldn't work per se, visually... the K. Kong example is well put; it's that I can't see an Oozaru transformation doing absolutely anything to advance this movie's plot.

Let's get real: by the time DBZ (the series) began, there was little use for it anymore. It did nothing for the Gohan training story, little else for his second transformation in the final stages of the fight against Vegeta, and only the Oozaru Vegeta bit had any particular purpose, plot-wise (i.e., to make Yajirobe get finally involved in the fight). And I can't even remember now if any other Saiyan ever transformed into Oozaru again, after that.

In general, it's way too clumsy. Much more so when the transformed Saiyan can't retain his conscience, because then we have just a huge monkey smashing rocks like crazy, until someone else (villain or good guy, doesn't really matter who) decides that it was a bad idea to let him transform into Oozaru in the first place, and either chops his tail or blows whatever acts as the moon. But even for self-controlled Oozarus like Vegeta (which, as has been said too, has little chance of appearing in this first movie anyway), it's still clumsy and detracts too much from the suspense of who's going to prevail in the fight.

Besides, current SFX technology or not, it'd still be too expensive an effect to use for just a few minutes, which is the maximum amount of time an idea like this could be used for the film.

I don't know, while that's true, the fact that goku killed gohan as an oozaru was an interesting story element.

And it is a representation of goku's hidden powers, so that may appear just briefly.

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

If Wong has any decent respect for Akira Toriyama's hallmark creation, Goku will have to have a tail to become an Oozaru in the first place. That is one piece of manga/anime continuity that should not be glossed over.
