Super Saiyans: Can it be done?

[Mike_D202]

I've been wondering how they would pull this off in the sequels. White hair? gold hair? yellow hair? Will they have to cgi it?

I'd like to see some photo manips and ideas.

I don't think that'll be an issue at all. Skillful wig making + CG, easy! It's just a matter of whether or not the movies will actually GET that far in the storyline. -_-

I say a wig then CGI to make it look better

 

[rabidweasl]

i don't know.....pulling it all off seems tricky to me, but then again if they pull off the Oozaru then anythings possible!

 

[RED-RAIN]

have you seen the leaked pic of oozaru? lol
not good

Oh great. -_- I should have known...

Where can I see that?

The question isn't whether it can be done or not, the question is would idiots start calling it Nazi propaganda when somebody turns Aryan to achieve godlike power? I'm not too worried about white Goku or a likely white Vegeta, but a half Asian Gohan might raise a few eyebrows.

An anime could get away with alot of un-PC stuff (I'm looking at you, Mr. Popo) by attributing it to a "Oh, those wacky foreigners! We'll let it slide because of culture differences." mentality on behalf of American distributors. But when a major American studio does it, they're open to all sorts of criticism.

It wouldn't be too hard at all. Gold hair definately with green eyes. Too much CGI is a bad thing, but if they do it right, it would look badass.

So your saying that because Gohan will be half american/half asian with god-like powers that it could be taken offensively?

I agree. Thats probably the easiest and best way to do it IMO.

Technically half Caucasian Saiyen/half Asian. But no, I'm saying that in all likelihood, Gohan would look predominantly Asian as do most kids of such a mixed parental heritage. I'm also saying that there's bound to be a group of overly PC morons who'd be offended by the idea that IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE GODLIKE POWER, an Asian looking character must develop the physical characteristics Hitler defined as the attributes of a superior race.

ohh, thats interesting. Never thought of that before. That would be an interesting discussion.

 

[jimmiejoefro]

I don't think DB has ever been mistaken as pro-Nazi. It would be foolish for anyone to try to make a case of it.

 

[Ratcrawler]

And yeah, I hope I'm overreacting. But never underestimate the stupidity of people who demand to be offended by something.

 

[Voorhees]

I think Super Saiyans can definitely be done....as long as they keep the hair from getting outrageously big. They did a good job so far with a regular Saiyan's hair.

 

[COMPO]

well the little power up before the kamehameha showst hey can do the aura stuff and with Goku's all they have to do is spike it more and dye it.
