Brandon Lyon I belive I heard that the majority of Japan actually liked our American Ghost in the Shell. I haven't seen either of the versions so I wouldn't know if it was good.
Most original? The opening arc of Dragon Ball is just a retelling of Journey to the West. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z both have good ideas, both have very good aspects, but neither are particularly original.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 a retelling? I don't remember journey to the west with a dragon that concedes wishes. For me it's just the names and that goku is part monkey.
A movie sssooo bad, it forced Akira Toriyama out of a 10 year retirement and back into DBZ. Let that sink in... And that's LITERALLY the only thing that came out of db evolution
It was a bit cringey.. but Looks? Accurate. Lip Lock? Funny parody of dubs with issues (not always the dubbers fault). THE KI ATTACKS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO!!!
But only if he thinks they're strong. He doesn't like to *settle his differences* with violence. He punches the things he thinks can punch harder than he can, not always the people who're mean and are totally beneath him- except for Freeza's soldiers, for obvious reasons.
Yes and no. He always wanted to spar with everyone he met. Go figure, he's a martial arts nut and wants to test his skill wherever he goes. However, he never seeks out a fight. He could have gone full superman, picking off petty criminals day after day and getting constant fighting, but he didn't. There are only ever three places you see him; Fighting to save the planet/universe, training, and home.
wtf was the point of the chi chi stuff besides the clone fight?..it just adds more questions then answers like whats her story....every time goku is near her bad stuff happens like his grandpa dying when hes at her party or when hes with her and mai and chooses the wrong one to hit and mai gets away with the balls..like hello geeko ..the movie would be so much better without that cringe romance subplot..it really would just become a bad action adventure comedy and you know what that's fine..adding romance to a film that didn't need it when they couldn't balance it must have sent it over the edge and made kids disinterested ..I know I was..i actually would of liked a quest for the balls..that was what the first arc of the show was about after all..seeing an adventure would of been nice..but nope...gotta make this about piccolo...and romance..smdh
Well, we should thank that the movie exist. If it wasn't for *Dragonball Evolution* , Toriyama would've not had come aboard for BOG, ROF, and basically revived the whole Dragon Ball series
Ah yes. What would we do without Ultra Ego, Ultra Instinct, Super Saiyan Rage (literally a name pulled from the ATARI game Legacy of Goku 2, for the at that time unnamed Super Saiyan 2), Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolved, Final Gohan, Yellow Piccolo, Orange Piccolo, Cell Max... Yes. Thank goodness BOG, ROF and DBS exists as a whole...........
@@macdaddymario Hey, man, I don't mind Final Gohan and Yellow/Orange Piccolo. At least they're trying make characters have their big moments beside Goku and Vegeta.
You know that your movie sucks when a RUclips team up has better acting in it then a fully funded cinema release. Great work guys, I enjoyed this more then the actual movie you guys broke down.
@@the_illest7029 my bad. I'm not the best at spelling, or speaking without getting my words jumbled, and English is my native language. So I think to myself, "Stick to sucking at one language instead of broadening you scope of bad."
Good question. The better question is why does Goku even care about a house party? He's never had any interest in social gatherings unless food/fighting is involved. Hell, at the time he was still living with Grandpa Gohan, they were living in the middle of the wilderness in a house the size of a shed, with Bulma hitting him with her car being his first instance of human contact outside his grandpa, so why should he care about parties?
I think that halfway through that sentence Justin just threw up in his mouth after realizing he's in DBE. "Okay, Justin, you got this, every young man alive would kill to play Goku in your place, just stop farting and deliver the line for once... Beware the Namekians... Come on, it's just three words, you can do it..." *"Beware the Nae BLOARGH! meks..."* "What the fuck was that? Oh, God, I'm in Dragon Ball Evolution... Who the hell am I kidding here? It's awful, it's all fucking awful and my career is dead... Dead before it was ever even born... Maybe we can still reshoot that?" *"Hey, director, can we reshoot that?"* *"What the fuck do you think this is!? This is DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION, of course we won't reshoot that. Do you think we have the budget for that much tape? Did you see our CGI? Did you see Chow's cocaine bills? After we're done shooting you guys will still owe 20th Century Fox 20 000$ each, your salaries included"* *"Oh, man... I am beginning to think this was a bad decision from my agent... I mean my mom's part..."*
EASTERN EUROPEAN ORPHAN It's sad, too. From what I heard, this guy did some research on this series. It may not be much but it's hell of a lot more than what the director did for research which was nothing.
To those confused about MasakoX's comment about Goku hating fighting, I believe it was just worded poorly. Goku enjoys and excels at combat, but he hates confrontation. He doesn't like fighting in a negative connotation. The fights he enjoys the most are those that are done for sport, not out of aggression.
Yeah, that's what I think he meant. And everyone above us is chastising poor MasakoX for this and questioning how much of a "fan" he is (there are layers of fanship now? 404 sense not found).
@handsomebrick It's mainly the fact that the word "Fight" can have several different definitions. It's like the difference between "getting into a fight" Which usually means somewhere between petty bickering and violent altercations and "To fight someone" which is more around the definition of combat in general. The former being something Goku dislikes and the latter being what he loves to do. Like I said, it was just poor wording.
+Remus Lupine Glad to see I'm not the only viewer baffled by these comments accusing MasakoX of being a "casual" fan. To me, it sounds like that pre-recorded line was taken out of context and edited in to the video at a poor moment. The only incarnation of Goku we know of that doesn't actually like to fight is the one from this film- perhaps MasakoX was referring to this? It'd be funny to see these comments calling him a "casual" if I wasn't aware of how much work MasakoX puts into Dragon Ball related material. One glance at his channel makes it clear that if there was ever a "Goku expert", that's the guy. And most of these people saying this crap about him probably don't even know the origination of his alias "MasakoX"; for those ignorant, Masako Nozawa is the *actress* (yes, a female) who voices Goku/Gohan in the Japanese version. MasakoX voices Goku/Gohan in the parody series "Dragon Ball Abridged". The sheer number of hours MasakoX had to have spent just working on Abridged makes him more knowledgeable on this subject than all of these commenters put together.
I'm not even entirely sure I agree with that statement since he let Frieza power up to 100%, the fate of the world hinged on his fight with Cell and he treated that fight pretty casually and he enjoyed fighting Kid Buu despite the world ending with the "I hope you come back as someone good" line.
Goku was never a perv in the manga. He was basically asexual. He had never seen a girl before he met Bulma though, so was initially perplexed and curious to why she didn’t have any ”balls”.
Sadder. The latin American dub had the voice actor of the real (real franchise) goku and pikoro (thats his name in latin american dub), voicing fake (dragon ball evoution) goku and picolo. and not even that could save it
its like the only character trait he has left by the end as they make him dumber and dumber and less likeable while trying to make his sons the main characters...goku even was willing to risk the safety of earth vs piccolo just so he could win the tournament finally...its actually a pretty big arc where he lost the first 2 to 2 allies and wants to win legit with no help for once...out of the 5 canon tournaments he entered its still the only one he won..and no one was around but the people close to him to see it as it should be since they destroyed the area and people fled..only the old announcer stayed ...the same goku who saved them from piccolo and gave his son a bean to recover..gokus crazy man
AudioCultSG Official in the show it’s called a “Dragon Radar” . Her calling it Dragon Ball Energy (DBE) is a meta joke because Dragon Ball Evolution abbreviated is DBE. It’s a shitty joke
I have an interesting story with this movie: When it first came out in theaters, a friend of mine had a masochistic idea to go watch this film, So we decided to go and torture ourselves. Along with us was a female friend of ours and her 10-year old son, who was a relatively new fan of the series. Well We go into the theater, and aside from us, it was one other guy. So the movie starts, and within the first 10 minutes, our friend's son started yelling at the screen about how they got the lore wrong and spent the entire movie and what the actual lore was, and he CONTINUED to do this throughout the film's duration and to be brutally honest, it was more entertaining than the actual movie.
I think the ONLY GOOD THING that came out of this movie is that now Akira Toriyama is determined to make as many new DBZ content as possible so that the fans can forget this movie ever happened. I'm sure i got some of the facts wrong, but that's what i heard.
@@kayzeaza and in all of the OG dragon ball, did Goku ever *hate* fighting? who's the one who enthusiastically wanted to fight the mummy dude and smiling throughout that? who's the one who agreed joyfully saying he was also just going to ask to train at Kami's after being offered the chance? what was the entire Roshi and Krillin training story before the tournament? there's a difference between only having to fight when someone has to while being happy about it and only having to fight when someone has to and hating it, dear stranger who's acting like DBZ/S Goku ain't used to be DB Goku
Wait a minute, Goku DID NOT hate fighting! He trains CONSTANTLY and is always looking for a fighter to match him and grow stronger. He just originally hated when innocents or potential allies are hurt or could get hurt.
@@InkAndPoet if you wanna blame, blame Fox or the director (or both). Imagine hiring a director who hated DBZ just to cash in the popularity. Not to mention, even the director rejected Akira Toriyama's help.
Oddly enough Critic's rant at the end actually raises some questions, why does no one ever wish for the ability to raise the dead. It makes more sense than having to go to hell directly to keep bringing the character back. Seriously this is the fourth time Frieza's come back to life and he's the villain!
The dragon can't grant a wish beyond the power of the person that created him. We hear this line a number of times later in the series. This means Kami could revive people and didn't (Krillin, Roshi, Chiaotzu in DB when they die fighting King Piccolo and their bodies remain on Earth), could grant immortality and didn't (at all, to any time, to any of the heroes of the series), could create planets, and didn't... You're asking why no one wished for the ability, when half of the wishes in the series were unneeded to begin with?
"People who don't know the show are being duped into thinking it's good", My mom and both of my sisters had never seen a single episode of any Dragonball series and even they thought this movie blew worse than The Last Airbender and Fan4stic combined.
Most amusing thing was that the film actually made money, as part of the reason the effects were seemingly unfinished or just plain bad was constant budget cuts. So essentially they were going to use some of that money cause it did well in the chinese market, but then they became too afraid over the hate and backlash to do so.
There is only one thing that bothers me: "The original Goku who hated fighting and only did when he had to..." - WTF? The original Goku LOVES fighting, he even gives enemies the chance to heal themselves if that helps them to reach their full potential.
Hearing the abridged voice of Freeza come out when LittleKuriboh gets really pissed and the voice of abridged Goku yell "CHRIST" really makes this video special.
Teacher: And next you're going to tell me that Christmas is actually the Holiday when we acknowledge the awkwardly effeminate galaxy emperor! American!Goku:...You know about Frieza Day?
1. Because in Hollywood teens and children can't play violent, erotic or anything "bad example" roles! 2. Because Hollywood is racist! 3. And high school because... You know... High school... Or because they are just fucking idiots!
The only thing I will defend about this movie is the casting of a white actor. (not this actor mind you but a white guy in general) After all, Goku isn't Asian. He is from space. Maybe Sayans look more white then Japanese. His character is heavily influenced by superman after all.
MrJreed1000 because they thought he was Peterson Parker from Spider-Man... Gotta have that teenage horniness for that Strawberry that the girl was eating!
bully: show me what you got goku: no bully: **throws his food in the bin** later news reporter: 34 million dead and the world governments are using all their warheads to get rid of this monster
And Piccolos actor also really liked dragon Ball and had so many ideas for the character. He actually convinced the director to make him green. Before that he works have been something like an albino namekien
this universe doesn't need a Beerus to destroy it. It is already a mess. In fact if there was a god of destruction in this world he would be like "My work here... isn't necessary. Anyway Whis bring me something to eat".
@Mister Krogan Are you kidding me mate? MasakoX voices a character in and helped write friggin DragonballZ abridged, a show that knows it's source material inside out and uses it masterfully. His own RUclips channel is pretty much entirely delving deep into Dragonball lore and exploring possibilities and characters. And Kuriboh's worked on the show too, and has similar knowledge. They know their crap, inside and out. But they also know how to make fun of the source material in good sport. They're not just "idiots who don't know what they're talking about", or just want to make fun of the show; they know the show so well that they have the right to make fun of it like that regardless. Don't go around insulting people off guesses you make, mate. If you had any idea who these people are in the first place, you really wouldn't be so quick to have a go at them for not being real fans. But it's pretty understandable that you haven't heard of them. Go watch DragonballZ Abridged. It's not fantastic in the first arc, but once it finds it's feet it can get pretty damn incredible, and way more emotionally complex than the original show. You sound like a Dragonball fan, and if you are, go watch it, I don't think you'll regret it. And again, chill out. You don't need to have a go at people so quickly when you barely have any context. It doesn't help anyone, and you're not doing the other people justice by judging them so baselessly.
@Mister Krogan and seriously, I don't think I can stress just how off you were having a go at them for not being fans. Look them up if you need to. But seriously, give DBZA a shot. It's a damn good show, and it does the source material way more justice than this crappy movie
@@misterkrogan8837 From the mature and calm way you're acting, I don't think I'm the one with a miserable life, mate. In all seriousness, hard feelings aside, are you doing OK? You sound like you're pissed off at something outside of these comments.
@@misterkrogan8837 also you're not gonna make too many friends or have too many decent conversations online if you start off everything you say by personally insulting whoever you're talking to/about. Chill out. You're not doing anything except making a fool of yourself.
@@misterkrogan8837 Just wanted to make sure you were OK, mate. But if you'd prefer a less "sissy" answer, I could always go your more "manly" route of being a whiny little bitch to people and not giving a damn about how it affects the world around you. Must be a good life you're living. People can't even ask if you're doing OK without you being a prick for no reason. Grow up and grow a pair, mate. Acting like a child is only making things more difficult for you and the people you whine at online :/
Oh my gosh Kyle Herbert was the actual narrator of the english dub of Dragon Ball!? That's so cool. And even as someone who has never seen the show, this was painful.
You forgot key things that you didn't mention: -Goku is supposed to be 12 since this is an "adaptation" of dragonball, and not dbz -Bulma is supposed to be the first human Goku sees other than his grandpa, so he isn't in any way civilized -Mai works for Emperor Pilaf and not Piccolo, emperor Pilaf and his group were villains that were also there for comedic purposes.
Everyone is mad about the "Goku Hated fighting comment," and I'm over here asking why they showed a picture of a clarinet when talking about a piccolo... Can't decide if that was a layered joke or just laziness 13:33
I go with both but I'm more angry that they called people who are big Dragon ball fans Stupid (I hate using that word) or in this case calling people who aren't Dragon Ball fans Stupid. And I'm the only person who enjoyed this movie
"...Picollo. Who is literally dressed like a Picollo." *puts Clarinet on screen* I can't be mad that people who aren't that immersed in that side of music don't know, but it hurts little ol' Music Major me.
Chris Jackson zen-oh erased Universe 13 prior to the introduction to the multiverse in Super. Dragonball: Evolution took place in Universe 13. Only way it makes sense.
@@rundamic3373 I'm pretty sure what he meant was more along the lines of 'Hated HURTING PEOPLE'. The fight with the Bullies in the movie wasn't the type of fight you would see Goku do. He'd fight actual fighters for sport or Cause they were doing evil stuff. rather then just some bullies for being a holes.
No, Goku didn't "sacrifice the safety of every universe". In fact, he was unaware that the Zenos were planning on destroying the universes anyway. As far as he knew, it'd be just an interuniversal tournament where the best of each universe fought one another. If anything, what he did saved the universes in the long run, since they at least got a fighting chance to survive.
It made me wish I had a seizure. At least I'd be forgetting most of this, and I could watch better Dragon Ball on Funimation Now or Hulu with a nice drug cocktail.
Last time on Dragonball Metamucil! Virginia acted the mickey! And now Chatwin and Sir-Not-Appearing-in-this-Film must fart! I hope they don’t make each other sick....
Rossum as bulma did as best she could but she was given nothing...I felt she was bulma..that's something...and james wasn't the worst piccolo ...again just given no good dialogue or things to do...
Yeah; I remember that false love confession scene (though only because I only saw Naruto for the first time a couple months ago). That scene was pretty cringeworthy, but at least it brought an end to Naruto's crush so he could instead end up with Hinata, which is far healthier for him anyway.
@Torika Gomutsutchi Thanks. By the time I got to the war arc, I was so tired of binge-watching Naruto that I stopped, tried My Hero Academia for the first time, then went back to watching Naruto once I was done watching My Hero Academia. I've also seen The Last: Naruto the Movie (and only The Last since it's the only canon Naruto movie).
There's a small possibility of it happening if we actually get a person who knows the source material of the series they're adapting. I know it's not an anime/manga but for example, Deadpool was great because Ryan Reynolds was a fan of the character and put great care into making sure the movie wouldn't suck, we need more of this happening in Hollywood.
Not the movie, nor the critic got the real idea behind Goku's personality. No, he's not pervy, and no, he never fought only when there was a good reason to. Goku was always clean minded, no thoughts about sexuality even as an adult, and anything that seemed perverted from his side was just curiosity, like in the case he lifted Bulma's skirt... he never saw a girl before at that point. And he only fights because he wants his skill to be challenged and get stronger by facing harder fighters... Having someone strong willing to fight him is enough reason to fight.
you can have sex and not be interested in it, for some people sex is an activity u do because your partner likes it not because u care all that much about it
Anthony Hiebert Give Shymalan some credit. He was actually quite faithful to TLA in terms of atmosphere and background, as well as story line. But yeah, it was still really bad with lifeless acting, character motivations being backwards or half-baked, and general disinterest of all characters towards the main goal. Seriously, show me one scene of a character actually showing emotion in the entire movie.
I actually talked to the actor played piccolo he even said that movie was horrible and he gave good explanations apparently the entire cast was lied to on how much the budget would have and what the script along with who was going to direct they were literally fucked and held hostage with contracts
Hell, James Marsters is a BIG Dragon Ball fan and the only reason Piccolo is green in the movie. He had to threaten to walk even with the consequences of breaking contract just to get that. Otherwise, we'd have just gotten James Marston in leather as Piccolo.
During interviews here is what the lying James said "Oh, Dragonball is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years. It's got a Shakespearean sense of good and evil. The movie has incredible action scenes with characters with unbelievable powers. It's going to be really visually exciting."[1] "Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original. . . . For example, some characters in the original don't appear in the movie. And we try to give it a more gritty and graphic (realistic) feeling. Though there are differences between the two, I think it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains."[2]
"Get put of here Yugi-blow, you're not even from the right anime." As funny as this is, all jokes aside though, doesn't Littlekuriboh play Frieza in DBZA?
So just to be clear, Nostalgia Critic with his extreme love for Avatar the show and hatred for the live action adaption still finds this to be the worst adaptation ever. Wow.
Well, as much as it hurts me to say this, at least Avatar had the same storyline as the series and if I had looked at the poster without having watched the movie I would have thought "Yeah, this looks like avatar, bald arrow-head, similar clothes, bending". Evolution had nothing to do with DB except that there were Dragonballs in them and the names of the characters. The only thing I recognize on the DB Evolution poster is the dragonball.
Lars VanBarbecue both of the movies were terrible but atleast Avatar somewhat followed the storyline and didn’t make the main character some high school kid who got bullied
In fairness with the Avatar adaption, some of the visuals looked nice and the main character actually looked close to the animated version, whilst it's not the best adaption it is still a better movie than this, and the fact that the Critic views things in this way essentially backs up his points through showing a clear lack of bias on the matter. Also for comparison the only character out of all of the dragonball adaption that looked even remotely like the animated counterpart was picillo, Goku, a saiyan looked like a basic human if you stood him apart from the movie you would never know he was a dragonball character, even in costume you would think it's just a cosplayer.
Lars VanBarbecue as horrible as The Last Airbender was, at least it tried to follow the source material, poorly....but DBE has absolutely NOTHING to do with Dragonball.
Are you sure? Even Vegeta is smart enough to team up with Krillin and Gohan when he realizes what's going on on planet Namek. Nah... the most unrealistic part of that sketch was Krillin trying to fight the main villain, and then fighting Goku. Sure, Krillin did "fight" some of the main villians...
What do you think, worst anime adaptation of all time?

*Goku:* "Teach me to be normal"
*Goko, ten minutes later:* * spouts some shit about an alien race that nearly destroyed Earth 2,000 years ago *
Well of course that happened, he STILL wasn't taught how to be normal.
Given how many relics we have found that are far older than 2,000. There should be at least some evidence that Goku's story is true.
Well, also, the teacher didn't contradict or make fun of him. So maybe in the film universe the legend is like our Atlantis.
Also, they couldn't even get the name right. Namek is the name of a planet. NAMEKIANS are the names of Piccolo's race.

Goku: Hi, how are ya?
The first few minuets of Nostalgia Critic's intro was more accurate to dragon ball then this entire movie.
Agreed and they weren't even trying
What's sad is that the parody they did WAS actually closer to the anime then the movie.
oh man anit that a kick in the head
@@robert23456789 yeah
I agree Ash Ketchum and I even only glanced at scenes of episodes here and there
It was a bit cringey.. but Looks? Accurate. Lip Lock? Funny parody of dubs with issues (not always the dubbers fault). THE KI ATTACKS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO!!!
Even ERB did a better Goku than the live action adaptation.
One correction to the commentary: Goku only *killed* when he had to, fighting was usually his first reaction to meeting new people.
Yeah. That's what he did with Frieza.
@@darkmagician290 and he kept letting him go so he could be a better fight later
But only if he thinks they're strong. He doesn't like to *settle his differences* with violence. He punches the things he thinks can punch harder than he can, not always the people who're mean and are totally beneath him- except for Freeza's soldiers, for obvious reasons.
Yes and no. He always wanted to spar with everyone he met. Go figure, he's a martial arts nut and wants to test his skill wherever he goes. However, he never seeks out a fight. He could have gone full superman, picking off petty criminals day after day and getting constant fighting, but he didn't. There are only ever three places you see him; Fighting to save the planet/universe, training, and home.
I thought you were consumed by your species?? Have you been revived by the pecking order??
Chi chi says "nobody at home knows this. But i'm a fighter too!" Wtf is ox king in this movie? A rich non violent human right activist?
wtf was the point of the chi chi stuff besides the clone fight?..it just adds more questions then answers like whats her story....every time goku is near her bad stuff happens like his grandpa dying when hes at her party or when hes with her and mai and chooses the wrong one to hit and mai gets away with the balls..like hello geeko ..the movie would be so much better without that cringe romance subplot..it really would just become a bad action adventure comedy and you know what that's fine..adding romance to a film that didn't need it when they couldn't balance it must have sent it over the edge and made kids disinterested ..I know I was..i actually would of liked a quest for the balls..that was what the first arc of the show was about after all..seeing an adventure would of been nice..but nope...gotta make this about piccolo...and romance..smdh

Why Wouldn’t Goku’s Grampa Let Him Out of The House Just to go to a House Party?I Totally Thought His Gramps Would be Cooler Than That
Good question. The better question is why does Goku even care about a house party? He's never had any interest in social gatherings unless food/fighting is involved. Hell, at the time he was still living with Grandpa Gohan, they were living in the middle of the wilderness in a house the size of a shed, with Bulma hitting him with her car being his first instance of human contact outside his grandpa, so why should he care about parties?
Gohan would definitely have let him! This is the man that said he didn't want to be brought back because he found a girlfriend in the after life

Fun Fact: James Marsters, who plays Piccolo in this movie and Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, became the voice of Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super.
From fraud to legit, honestly congrats to him

@@BlueBlazeKing his agent done him dirty with this movie. He looked like the ugly spawn of an Orion and Vulcan.
I just find it funny that in the TFS DBZ Halloween special, Piccolo was dressed as Spike.
Fun fact, he was literally the main reason Piccolo was GREEN.
To those confused about MasakoX's comment about Goku hating fighting, I believe it was just worded poorly. Goku enjoys and excels at combat, but he hates confrontation. He doesn't like fighting in a negative connotation. The fights he enjoys the most are those that are done for sport, not out of aggression.
Yeah, that's what I think he meant. And everyone above us is chastising poor MasakoX for this and questioning how much of a "fan" he is (there are layers of fanship now? 404 sense not found).
I would like to give the benefit of the doubt, but that is some EXTREMELY poor wording.
@handsomebrick
It's mainly the fact that the word "Fight" can have several different definitions. It's like the difference between "getting into a fight" Which usually means somewhere between petty bickering and violent altercations and "To fight someone" which is more around the definition of combat in general. The former being something Goku dislikes and the latter being what he loves to do. Like I said, it was just poor wording.
+Remus Lupine Glad to see I'm not the only viewer baffled by these comments accusing MasakoX of being a "casual" fan. To me, it sounds like that pre-recorded line was taken out of context and edited in to the video at a poor moment. The only incarnation of Goku we know of that doesn't actually like to fight is the one from this film- perhaps MasakoX was referring to this?
It'd be funny to see these comments calling him a "casual" if I wasn't aware of how much work MasakoX puts into Dragon Ball related material. One glance at his channel makes it clear that if there was ever a "Goku expert", that's the guy. And most of these people saying this crap about him probably don't even know the origination of his alias "MasakoX"; for those ignorant, Masako Nozawa is the *actress* (yes, a female) who voices Goku/Gohan in the Japanese version. MasakoX voices Goku/Gohan in the parody series "Dragon Ball Abridged". The sheer number of hours MasakoX had to have spent just working on Abridged makes him more knowledgeable on this subject than all of these commenters put together.
I'm not even entirely sure I agree with that statement since he let Frieza power up to 100%, the fate of the world hinged on his fight with Cell and he treated that fight pretty casually and he enjoyed fighting Kid Buu despite the world ending with the "I hope you come back as someone good" line.

Sadder. The latin American dub had the voice actor of the real (real franchise) goku and pikoro (thats his name in latin american dub), voicing fake (dragon ball evoution) goku and picolo. and not even that could save it

When I see little Kuribo speaking, all I can hear is the pharaoh dissing on this movie

Duo Maxwell what
Xi1D Storm I'd rather see their spoof skit be made canon rather than Dragon Ball Evolution.
(My brain's getting worn out I can't think straight...)
It was hilariously true. I love the show, but everything they said was right.
Goku hated fighting? He's always enthusiast of fighting a strong opponent in the series.
I think hes reffering to the movie goku. The image is just misleading
He didn't like fighting that much in OGDB
I think he loved they idea of getting strong physically and testing your strength in combat but never actual fighting like school fights and stuff
He liked a challenge and competition. He loved seeing who was the best, even if it wasn't him, and working to overcome obstacles.
its like the only character trait he has left by the end as they make him dumber and dumber and less likeable while trying to make his sons the main characters...goku even was willing to risk the safety of earth vs piccolo just so he could win the tournament finally...its actually a pretty big arc where he lost the first 2 to 2 allies and wants to win legit with no help for once...out of the 5 canon tournaments he entered its still the only one he won..and no one was around but the people close to him to see it as it should be since they destroyed the area and people fled..only the old announcer stayed ...the same goku who saved them from piccolo and gave his son a bean to recover..gokus crazy man

I have an interesting story with this movie:
When it first came out in theaters, a friend of mine had a masochistic idea to go watch this film, So we decided to go and torture ourselves. Along with us was a female friend of ours and her 10-year old son, who was a relatively new fan of the series. Well We go into the theater, and aside from us, it was one other guy. So the movie starts, and within the first 10 minutes, our friend's son started yelling at the screen about how they got the lore wrong and spent the entire movie and what the actual lore was, and he CONTINUED to do this throughout the film's duration and to be brutally honest, it was more entertaining than the actual movie.
the fact a 10 year old kid can get the lore better than the movie makers made it more hilarious + entertaining to imagine
Oc Fandom oh ya who'd of thought a fan of the show could recount the story better than some studio execs who looked at a chart. Crazy, right?
what are you implying?
“Well the chart says...”
I did say the kid was a new fan, which meant at the time, he was recently introduced to the original series.
I think the ONLY GOOD THING that came out of this movie is that now Akira Toriyama is determined to make as many new DBZ content as possible so that the fans can forget this movie ever happened. I'm sure i got some of the facts wrong, but that's what i heard.
He's doing it for money.
So you're saying DBE gave the real DB a zenkai boost? Clever.

@@nothanks7063 that’s not true at all! Goku’s favorite activities from the very beginning are fighting and eating, in that order

So in that sense it kinda fits
Oddly enough Critic's rant at the end actually raises some questions, why does no one ever wish for the ability to raise the dead. It makes more sense than having to go to hell directly to keep bringing the character back. Seriously this is the fourth time Frieza's come back to life and he's the villain!
You just reminded me of the TFS version of worlds strongest
Giving someone the power is different than actually using it. It may be tougher than it looks since you’re violating the laws of physics
Exactly
The dragon can't grant a wish beyond the power of the person that created him. We hear this line a number of times later in the series. This means Kami could revive people and didn't (Krillin, Roshi, Chiaotzu in DB when they die fighting King Piccolo and their bodies remain on Earth), could grant immortality and didn't (at all, to any time, to any of the heroes of the series), could create planets, and didn't...
You're asking why no one wished for the ability, when half of the wishes in the series were unneeded to begin with?
He only died twice but I get what you're saying!
"People who don't know the show are being duped into thinking it's good", My mom and both of my sisters had never seen a single episode of any Dragonball series and even they thought this movie blew worse than The Last Airbender and Fan4stic combined.
"You're not happening, sequel."
"RIGHT? RIGHT?? That was SO......STUPID!!!!" XD
Hopefully
Most amusing thing was that the film actually made money, as part of the reason the effects were seemingly unfinished or just plain bad was constant budget cuts. So essentially they were going to use some of that money cause it did well in the chinese market, but then they became too afraid over the hate and backlash to do so.
So, that was Dragonball Evolution. Whether you're an average movie-goer, or a Die Hard Fan, IT BLOWS!
MasaoX lost half a brain cell reacting to that lmao
There is only one thing that bothers me: "The original Goku who hated fighting and only did when he had to..." - WTF? The original Goku LOVES fighting, he even gives enemies the chance to heal themselves if that helps them to reach their full potential.
MrHerbsti they’re are talking about how “Goku” was in the beginning of the movie compared to how he was in that particular scene
MrHerbsti I reacted the same way.
What I think they meant is hated to hurt others.
MrHerbsti By "original", they probably meant the OG Funimation dub. You know, the whole "I am the hope of the universe" thing?
They obviously didn't watch DBZ Kai
Goku ONLY likes fighting strong enemies, he will give weak foes the option to not fight and give up
Hearing the abridged voice of Freeza come out when LittleKuriboh gets really pissed and the voice of abridged Goku yell "CHRIST" really makes this video special.

@Mister Krogan Are you kidding me mate? MasakoX voices a character in and helped write friggin DragonballZ abridged, a show that knows it's source material inside out and uses it masterfully. His own RUclips channel is pretty much entirely delving deep into Dragonball lore and exploring possibilities and characters. And Kuriboh's worked on the show too, and has similar knowledge.
They know their crap, inside and out. But they also know how to make fun of the source material in good sport. They're not just "idiots who don't know what they're talking about", or just want to make fun of the show; they know the show so well that they have the right to make fun of it like that regardless.
Don't go around insulting people off guesses you make, mate. If you had any idea who these people are in the first place, you really wouldn't be so quick to have a go at them for not being real fans.
But it's pretty understandable that you haven't heard of them. Go watch DragonballZ Abridged. It's not fantastic in the first arc, but once it finds it's feet it can get pretty damn incredible, and way more emotionally complex than the original show. You sound like a Dragonball fan, and if you are, go watch it, I don't think you'll regret it.
And again, chill out. You don't need to have a go at people so quickly when you barely have any context. It doesn't help anyone, and you're not doing the other people justice by judging them so baselessly.
@Mister Krogan and seriously, I don't think I can stress just how off you were having a go at them for not being fans. Look them up if you need to.

At that point, you can leave with no damage done.
You forgot key things that you didn't mention:
-Goku is supposed to be 12 since this is an "adaptation" of dragonball, and not dbz
-Bulma is supposed to be the first human Goku sees other than his grandpa, so he isn't in any way civilized
-Mai works for Emperor Pilaf and not Piccolo, emperor Pilaf and his group were villains that were also there for comedic purposes.
*TeoGPanda :3* Well, Mai did EVENTUALLY work alongside Demon King Piccolo until she, Pilaf, and Shu were betrayed by the Namekian.
Pilaf = team rocket
Everyone is mad about the "Goku Hated fighting comment," and I'm over here asking why they showed a picture of a clarinet when talking about a piccolo... Can't decide if that was a layered joke or just laziness 13:33
I go with both but I'm more angry that they called people who are big Dragon ball fans Stupid (I hate using that word) or in this case calling people who aren't Dragon Ball fans Stupid. And I'm the only person who enjoyed this movie
Thank you

"Ariel would be light years ahead of her time if she was named Bob." Why did this make me laugh so hard? 😂
One word: randomness
The sight of the Nolstalgia Critic, Little Kuriboh, and MasakoX coming together for one huge project is equivalent to the second coming.

Orion White LOL
Yeeeeeaaaaah...that was more disappointing than it should have been.
Glad it wasn’t just me.
Orion White u spelled piccolo wrong but anyway that really upset me
Orion White naw u right he fucked up
Betcha the whole Dragon Ball Evolution universe was erased by Zen-O
Chris Jackson zen-oh erased Universe 13 prior to the introduction to the multiverse in Super. Dragonball: Evolution took place in Universe 13.
Only way it makes sense.
But the mafuba came back so
Outtake fiend The mafuba was in the original Dragon Ball.
13:09 "Hated fighting"
Goku now: *Sacrifices the safety of every universe just so he can throw hands in a tournament*
I have no idea why he said that. Since when does Goku hate fighting? He’s a full bred Saiyan , he lives for fighting
@@rundamic3373 i think Masako meant "hated killing"
Well, imagine some stupid teens trying to bully the real Goku. I doubt he'd even understand what they are doing, let alone fight them.
@@rundamic3373 I'm pretty sure what he meant was more along the lines of 'Hated HURTING PEOPLE'.
The fight with the Bullies in the movie wasn't the type of fight you would see Goku do. He'd fight actual fighters for sport or Cause they were doing evil stuff. rather then just some bullies for being a holes.
No, Goku didn't "sacrifice the safety of every universe". In fact, he was unaware that the Zenos were planning on destroying the universes anyway. As far as he knew, it'd be just an interuniversal tournament where the best of each universe fought one another.
If anything, what he did saved the universes in the long run, since they at least got a fighting chance to survive.
This movie is like haveing cancer without actually having it
Yup
Deadpool: *sees this* YOU MEAN CANCER 3
no this is worse because the cancer ends and this is a fate worse than death
It made me wish I had a seizure. At least I'd be forgetting most of this, and I could watch better Dragon Ball on Funimation Now or Hulu with a nice drug cocktail.
So essentially playing league of legends?
"Kakakarrot cake! You am no real Super Sand!!"
Kor O'Connell “What do you mean, Virginia?!”
I thought super pooper scoopers were just legend
"What are you inSAYAN?!"
Last time on Dragonball Metamucil! Virginia acted the mickey! And now Chatwin and Sir-Not-Appearing-in-this-Film must fart! I hope they don’t make each other sick....
"YOU BIG SMELLY WILLY!"
Then Alita: Battle Angel came out and proved that manga adaptations CAN be good.
PikaLink91 FMA:B anime is a manga adaptation
Edge of tomorrow
You forgot Bleach did ok but the best in my opinion is the 2006 version of Death Note
@@nwttp Technically Edge of Tomorrow is based on a light novel.
Ghost in the Shell was okay. It did better than I thought it would
Watching Malcolm break down for once is probably my favorite part of the review.
Justin Chatwin was Goku, Emmy Rossum was Bulma... are we sure this wasn't a prequel to Shameless?
Rossum as bulma did as best she could but she was given nothing...I felt she was bulma..that's something...and james wasn't the worst piccolo ...again just given no good dialogue or things to do...
@@razkable at least marsden fixed things with zamasu.
Sakura: I love you Naruto
Everyone in the universe: 15:37
Yeah; I remember that false love confession scene (though only because I only saw Naruto for the first time a couple months ago). That scene was pretty cringeworthy, but at least it brought an end to Naruto's crush so he could instead end up with Hinata, which is far healthier for him anyway.
@Torika Gomutsutchi I skipped a majority of the filler, but I did finish watching Naruto. It took over a month to binge-watch.
@Torika Gomutsutchi Thanks. By the time I got to the war arc, I was so tired of binge-watching Naruto that I stopped, tried My Hero Academia for the first time, then went back to watching Naruto once I was done watching My Hero Academia.
I've also seen The Last: Naruto the Movie (and only The Last since it's the only canon Naruto movie).
Dear Hollywood, stop trying to make good live action anime movies happen. They're not gonna happen.
BoyThunder Productions So fetch
BoyThunder Productions your pfp actually matches what you said XD
BoyThunder Productions They did one called Battle Royale. The US ripped it off and made it into The Hunger Games.
There's a small possibility of it happening if we actually get a person who knows the source material of the series they're adapting. I know it's not an anime/manga but for example, Deadpool was great because Ryan Reynolds was a fan of the character and put great care into making sure the movie wouldn't suck, we need more of this happening in Hollywood.
Richie Sahlin Also The Lion King ripped off Kimba the white lion.
There's not enough weed in the universe to make this movie watchable.
There is but it’s way past the nonlethal limit
@@BlueBlazeKing there’s a lethal limit?
@@cyclops8238 There’s a lethal limit to anything from water, weed and even walnuts
Not the movie, nor the critic got the real idea behind Goku's personality. No, he's not pervy, and no, he never fought only when there was a good reason to. Goku was always clean minded, no thoughts about sexuality even as an adult, and anything that seemed perverted from his side was just curiosity, like in the case he lifted Bulma's skirt... he never saw a girl before at that point. And he only fights because he wants his skill to be challenged and get stronger by facing harder fighters... Having someone strong willing to fight him is enough reason to fight.
Then how were Gohan and Goten conceived?
you can have sex and not be interested in it, for some people sex is an activity u do because your partner likes it not because u care all that much about it
I'll think of something Luck.
I'll think of something everyone knows Chichi bang him. She might even do it while Goku was sleeping. Lol
Zone Doll that sounds awful
take into consideration this movie was released around a year before the last airbender.
well shit...
Really? It seems like it came out much longer ago than that, but I looked it up and you are right.
FOX: Oh jeez, we've created the worst adaptation of an animated series of all time!
Shyamalan: Hold my beer.
Anthony Hiebert
Give Shymalan some credit. He was actually quite faithful to TLA in terms of atmosphere and background, as well as story line. But yeah, it was still really bad with lifeless acting, character motivations being backwards or half-baked, and general disinterest of all characters towards the main goal. Seriously, show me one scene of a character actually showing emotion in the entire movie.
“Who’s literally dressed like a piccolo”
*shows picture of a clarinet*
Hahahahaha good one! 😂
On the other hand, maybe it is okay that Krillin actually isn't in this film. Otherwise, he'd be ruined, too.
He'd die every 5 seconds...

13:33 “Literally dresses as a piccolo”. *SHOWS CLARINET*
26:37 I swear Littlekuriboh's excited face is the cutest thing I've seen all year. And I've seen puppies you guys. PUPPIES!
omg it’s so adorable!!!
Lol
To quote Doug: “He’s adorable when he’s happy.”
There is an alien in Valerian and the city of a thousand planets that makes the exact same face and it's so funny!
I actually talked to the actor played piccolo he even said that movie was horrible and he gave good explanations apparently the entire cast was lied to on how much the budget would have and what the script along with who was going to direct they were literally fucked and held hostage with contracts
Turner Hoffman for real? How shitty.
Hell, James Marsters is a BIG Dragon Ball fan and the only reason Piccolo is green in the movie. He had to threaten to walk even with the consequences of breaking contract just to get that. Otherwise, we'd have just gotten James Marston in leather as Piccolo.
During interviews here is what the lying James said "Oh, Dragonball is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years. It's got a Shakespearean sense of good and evil. The movie has incredible action scenes with characters with unbelievable powers. It's going to be really visually exciting."[1]
"Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original. . . . For example, some characters in the original don't appear in the movie. And we try to give it a more gritty and graphic (realistic) feeling. Though there are differences between the two, I think it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains."[2]
his name is James Marsters
Red Dead Redemption glitch, I see
"Get put of here Yugi-blow, you're not even from the right anime."
As funny as this is, all jokes aside though, doesn't Littlekuriboh play Frieza in DBZA?
Yeah. He does.
I thought MasakoX did?
@@mdalsted no, MasakoX is Goku and Gohan
@@seansilv25
I know that part, but I thought Frieza might have been another role he played.
So just to be clear, Nostalgia Critic with his extreme love for Avatar the show and hatred for the live action adaption still finds this to be the worst adaptation ever. Wow.
Well, as much as it hurts me to say this, at least Avatar had the same storyline as the series and if I had looked at the poster without having watched the movie I would have thought "Yeah, this looks like avatar, bald arrow-head, similar clothes, bending". Evolution had nothing to do with DB except that there were Dragonballs in them and the names of the characters. The only thing I recognize on the DB Evolution poster is the dragonball.
Lars VanBarbecue I mean they combined the two evils in DBE. With all that talk of goku airbending.
Lars VanBarbecue both of the movies were terrible but atleast Avatar somewhat followed the storyline and didn’t make the main character some high school kid who got bullied
In fairness with the Avatar adaption, some of the visuals looked nice and the main character actually looked close to the animated version, whilst it's not the best adaption it is still a better movie than this, and the fact that the Critic views things in this way essentially backs up his points through showing a clear lack of bias on the matter. Also for comparison the only character out of all of the dragonball adaption that looked even remotely like the animated counterpart was picillo, Goku, a saiyan looked like a basic human if you stood him apart from the movie you would never know he was a dragonball character, even in costume you would think it's just a cosplayer.
Lars VanBarbecue as horrible as The Last Airbender was, at least it tried to follow the source material, poorly....but DBE has absolutely NOTHING to do with Dragonball.
MasakoX Little Kuriboh and Nostalgia Critic I’m full on in with this
Shadow __ They should have had Kuriboh play his more prominent role Lord Freeza

You know what's weird? The most unrealistic part of that sketch was 'Vegeta' being the voice of reason.
Vegeta IS the more intelligent of the cast.
Are you sure? Even Vegeta is smart enough to team up with Krillin and Gohan when he realizes what's going on on planet Namek. Nah... the most unrealistic part of that sketch was Krillin trying to fight the main villain, and then fighting Goku. Sure, Krillin did "fight" some of the main villians...
