The Turtle Hermit: Master Roshi Discussion Thread

[TLH]

the hair i can live with, but he needs the facial hair dammit!!

Meh, then he'll look like a rip off of Kill Bill Vol 2's Pai Mei.

 

[RED-RAIN]

most likely, but we know who the real rip off is

 

[DorkyFresh]

i can forgive if Yun Fat doesn't shave his head (even though he's done it before). i can even accept him not having facial hair. however, if he doesn't throw in at least 2 or 3 perv moments, then he's not my Master Roshi!

 

[RED-RAIN]

agreed, i was hoping for a more faithfull visual representation, but we will have to take what we are given i suppose

 

[DorkyFresh]

of course...but we still haven't seen a picture of him in his Roshi getup yet.

 

[JP]

Meh. I think Chow in going to be the INO character of Dragonball.

 

[RED-RAIN]

i know we havent, which is what worries me...everyone else we have seen in costume(somewhat)

 

[Adam]

of course...but we still haven't seen a picture of him in his Roshi getup yet.

Some info we know (yes I know it's old, very funny):

Although he looks like a beggar, Roshi is one of the world’s most fearsome fighters. Master Roshi begins Goku’s rigorous training to prepare him for the adventure of finding and fighting for the seven Dragon Balls to save the world from Piccolo’s destructive plan. A wise, somewhat wry man who knows as much about human nature as he does about martial arts, Master Roshi is impressed with Goku’s fighting but reminds him of his failings as well.

Here.

JP, I thought we weren't allowed to post those links?

 

[LiveWire777]

if he doesn't look like this, i'll be pissed...

...i'm kidding of course.

lmao

 

[JP]

Considering the Jump scans 'reavealed' most of the characters I don't see a problem. . .

i can barely see him in the first one. not sure what to make of the second one.

What I make of it is sadness and disappointment. Roshi is definitely the one character I'm not looking forward to.

 

[Adam]

? He looks absolutely fine to me for a modern version. I gotta say, and I know I'll get flamed for this, I love the direction James is taking with this movie.

 

[JP]

Big meh for me. He looks boring and uninteresting. . . and the complete opposite of anything Master Roshi ever was.

Maybe they'll make him young in this one and old and bald in the next one.

You get my support. I'm all for original interpretations.

Let me ask you though, if the rest of the film is to your liking (visually, the characters I mean), would the Roshi thing not bother you that much/at all?

 

[JP]

The rest of the film, so far, is to my liking. It's because of that why Emmy's hair doesn't other me.

yeah...Master Roshi was the first old character that i ever liked and a lot of that had to do with his appearance. if those pix of the stunt guy are basically what Master Roshi will look like then that's a pretty big departure from the anime. not only that, like you said...he looks boring and uninteresting and i'll add "uninspired" to the mix.

Now that I think of it.. he has similar hair to Chatwin and a similar styled outfit too.

 

[Adam]

I actually thought he looked cool, but meh. We'll see.
