The Official Goku/Justin Chatwin Thread

[TLH]

Facially, Chatwin matches what I think Goku would look like. Of course, I'm in North America, so I always interpreted the DBZ world (even the likes of Yamcha, Tien, and Krillin) to be Cauasian.

 

[CrashNburn]

trust me, you're not the only one. i wonder what made them choose Chatwin

 

[Superwoman Prime]

His features are very reminiscent of Goku. He also gives off that 'young hero' vibe when I see his pictures.

Maybe they see untapped potential? I always thought he had a pretty high ceiling for "acting potential" when I saw him in some of his roles.

 

[CrashNburn]

i like that. i can see what you mean

That's exactly the impression I get.

 

[CrashNburn]

if they continue to make more, i wonder if they'll keep him in the role of goku

you mean to tell me that out of 8 years of competing you never saw a fighters with impressive physiques? were you competing in the kids tournaments?

I never said they were not impressive. However your extreame look on things leads me to belive you are looking for a Goku like Van dam or somthing. Martial artist have bodies like, brandon Lee, Jet lei, ernie reyes Jr., or his dad, ....i would say jacky Chan but when i refer to him i mean when he was young, because back then he was lean and riipped. With age the muscle structure of a male expands, that is why he is bulkier and wider today.

you don't watch Pride fighting or the UFC, do you?

i live for UFC by the way. But understand somthing, that is a caged fight that involves ALOT of Jujistu. It requires a totally diffrent body type then martial arts such as kung fu, tae kwon do, karate, muy thai, and kempo for example. there is a lot of Strenght needed for that. Also if you REALLY watched alot of ufc every guy is NOT that big, they are all very ripped up. For example rich "the ace" franklin is BIG and ripped, but hes an oddity. Most fighters have a St. Peire look, or a matt huges look. Muscular but more on the ripped side.

thanx for your input, but i still don't agree.

please next time before you anwser somone so ubruptly do not presume to know more then me about my LIFE! Saying that i must have competed in kids tournauments is insulting to me, my 15 years of hard work and those who dedicate their lives in martial arts. and NONE of them are really jacked up. not even my grand master Joon rhee.

to conclude once again, I think Justin will do fine if he gets into the martial arts training camp for this movie and takes it seriously.

At his age he could easily grow into the role.

Yeah but so am i and i always interpreted them as Asian but thats all moot we have our cast and thats that.

I'm surprised you said Krillin though hell he was ata Shao lin temple

 

[Lobo]

IF they make more it's because the movie was a financial success, and they will keep him

i don't know why you would think that. i've continually expressed that Goku doesn't even need to be big....just SOLID, like the martial artists you listed.

true...but even when you look at fighters of standing martial arts they're still SOLID even if they're skinny. Bruce Lee....skinny as hell, but he was SOLID. most martial arts fighters, even if they're not diesel, still have SOLID bodies that look like they can take a few good hits. Chatwin, on the other hand, has what looks to be an unconditioned and undefined body that looks like he couldn't take a good kick to the ribs.

please next time before you anwser somone so ubruptly do not presume to know more then me about my LIFE!

i'd love to know how you came to the conclusion that i think i know more about life than you do... we're talking about martial arts experience. that's not exactly the same thing as LIFE experience.

Saying that i must have competed in kids tournauments is insulting to me, my 15 years of hard work and those who dedicate their lives in martial arts.

well then you shouldn't feel insulted, since i never said you competed in kids tournaments. i simply asked if it was kids tournaments you were competing in. even if you did compete in kids tournaments, i don't know why you would consider that insulting. it's not as if kids can't handle their business. also, i wouldn't suggest speaking on behalf of those who dedicate their lives to martial arts just because you, personally, got offended by a simple question.

and NONE of them are really jacked up. not even my grand master Joon rhee.

like i said...i don't mind if Goku's not cut or muscular, but at the very least i would've liked Goku to look SOLID. Chatwin looks frail.

Just never looked at it any other way.

Exactly, & I'm hoping that this movie does as good as possible so we can get some sequels. If it's not a success, we probably won't get another DB/Z movie for a long time.

 

[TLH]

It just needs to be good enough to merit a DBZ movie. We all know that a movie with Vegeta would inherently kick ass.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Yep, there's not a lot of people who don't like Vegeta so they will especially enjoy the sequel.

I agree

Duh! He's the Prince of all Saiyans dammit!

Yeah, I mean, everyone I know who watches DBZ loves Vegeta. He's my favorite character.

Funny as ****.

 

[TLH]

Thanks

Personally, my favorite DBZ character is Goku/Gohan/Vegeta.

Goku's alright, I find him a bit overated IMO. But I did find I liked him a lot more when comparing him to his Comics counterpart Superman.

 

[The Joker_1000]

I love Superman & I actually like Superman more than Goku. Goku is still overrated though because Toei tried to make him superior to everybody else in the show.

Tried!?! Goku has saved the day in almost every saga. lol

But yeah, Superman is my favorite hero, but Goku is probably 4th or 5th on my fav characters for DBZ.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Toei didn't make every saga as the sagas were made by Akira Toriyama. Goku, however, did save the day in most of the movies.

I want to get the Superman: Doomsday DVD. There's some pretty good fighting in that movie. However, I will say that my all time favorite superhero is Batman & then Superman. There's just so much more that can be done with Batman than Superman.
