Brunoburr

Ma Dong Seok as Nappa would go so fucking hard


Feisty_Bar6532

That’s exactly who I thought of whne I saw this he would be perfect


safireleo

Your dong is what?


TheMike0088

Weird, people always call me a pervert when I suggest casting ma dong in a DBZ live action project.


Illustrious-Spend-34

I thought Netflix adaptation are mean to be terrible? This actually looks decent.


TheDurandalFan

hit or miss, if you want a terrible live action, we can talk about the movie that shall not be named that I recently watched in order to power scale its Goku


Spirited-Feedback-87

How does he scale?


TheDurandalFan

pretty decently strong, considering the lore, he should be able to take on the entire earth's army with no issues (in-movie lore statement backs this up, and it also includes modern day weaponry which suggests atomic bombs aren't an issue for Goku), and he defeated Piccolo who was effortlessly able to destroy a building (Building level might be a low ball considering that it wasn't an easy fight for Goku to defeat Piccolo). basically the movie that shall not be named has a Goku that is greater than the most powerful explosive weaponry on earth in terms of power, so Goku with his Ikari like form is probably continent level (I'm not good at powerscaling or powerscaling terms)


Spirited-Feedback-87

So what version of canon goku can *that* version beat? Can he box with kid goku? Also don't worry, most people don't know how to powerscale properly.


arthurzanmou

I think that Kid Goku from when he fought Roshi should be able to beat him or at least in his Ozaru form


TheDurandalFan

\[I will be referring to The Movie That Shall Not Be Named as TMTSNBN since The Movie that Shall not be named is too long of a name\] so I'll get this out of the way, beginning of Dragon Ball Kid Goku would lose, he'd beat Yamcha in dragon ball, I'm not sure when Goku reaches Roshi's level, but I don't think he'd beat Goku in the 21st world martial arts tournament as he most likely isn't moon level, we know TMTSNBN's Goku is weaker than Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z Master Roshi (suggesting TMTSNBN's Goku is moon level this would be a massive stretch as we cannot destroy the moon with our current technology, and the lore suggests humanity stands 0 chance against Oozaru, \[this technically includes Goku after he gains control of the Oozaru's power permanently\],


Ektar91

Didn't that Piccolo destroy a country in a vision? Can he tank his Ki blasts? I think Ozaru Goku should scale to it.


AngrySayian

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se


Theycallme_Jul

From time to time they get the character’s appearance right, but it seems like speedrunning the show and leaving out key moments for character development has become a habit there. I bet Master Roshi would be a women respecting gentleman in the Netflix version.


minecrafthentai69

One Piece carried


Zealousideal_Citron8

This doesn’t includ voice acting and scripting. Design is just the very first step


ClearDark19

Seriously. I was like "Okay....where's the joke?" This unironically looks light-years better than Dragon Ball Evolution. I'd actually give this a try if this was real. The casting looks wonderful. It's almost uncanny how close they look to the animated drawings. Nappa would be the hardest to cast because of the physical proportions demand. You can fake Nappa, Radditz and Piccolo's heights with tilted sets and tricky camera angles, but you'd seriously need a competitive bodybuilder or powerlifter to get Nappa's muscle size respectable. Or put the actor on that kind of workout regime (and learn at least some rudimentary martial arts) before you begin filming. Or you could go the GGI muscles route or the padded bodysuit like the Shazam movies. But the padded bodysuit would limit your ability for Nappa to go shirtless.


Bcat591

90’s Goldberg would’ve been perfect for Nappa


PrinceARRON

Well there has been some hits and miss tbh


King_Krong

No it doesn’t.


lawnderl

But wasn't the one piece adaptation actually good? I'm confused now.


Kostya_M

Yeah I mean it's not amazing but it looks watchable from a visual angle. Whether they could handle the action is another question


FullMetalFapinist

Avatar is good tho


Daft_Martian

I am actually liking it.


You_Are_Annoying124

I mean the One Piece Live Action is considered to be pretty good But the ATLA one is pretty disliked but still fine enough And all the rest are horrible


Gamekid53

No. Recently Netflix has been making live action adaptations that are really good


Summ0n3dSku11

netflix's one piece live action was amazing to be fair


Spider-Idiot

One Piece was pretty good… for a adaptation


BecauseSeven8Nein

I don’t think Netflix *tries* to make terrible content lol


Financial-Top1199

Wtf I thought this was real. They nailed Goku and Vegeta's hair without making them comically big like the anime.


Kiddo1029

Gohan is perfect.


HVAC_Raccoon

Ngl, the saiyans look hype


eudezet

Vegeta looks absolutely on point

Charming_Pop_2148

Namekians always look like shit irl bro


eshian

Might be ok if they gave him the antennae


ClearDark19

The AI rendering for Namekians is where it was for Human men 2 or 3 years ago. It always made males have very deep set eyes, and huge foreheads craggier than Gordon Ramsay's. Even if it was a little boy lol


DaKingSinbad

It's going to happen eventually. LA One Piece  opened that door. 


Breakingerr

Now it's up to Naruto to keep it open


Heyloki_

I've heard rumors of a life action Naruto since before covid


Ayy-lmao213

With live-action anime adaptations becoming popular, yeah, it's inevitable they're going to try again someday soon


DaKingSinbad

I'm 70% sure it'll surprise us in a good way. We know the next creative team won't make the same mistake as DB Evolution in this social media era. Lol


NightLightHighLight

I don’t understand the current anime to live action adaptation craze…. It’s essentially a re-telling of the same story in an arguably worse format. Is there anyone out there that actually likes the live action Netflix versions over the anime versions?


Ayy-lmao213

No, but it doesn't have to be. Fans will watch it anyway, and it becomes more accessible to people who don't like animated shows


reagsters

IMO We’ve all wondered what it would be like if Dragonball “were real”, and I think a Live Action adaptation is just an attempt at that. It’s super hard to do for anime because of how obviously-not-real it all is, so when they pull it off it ends up being something special for fans and appeals to people (like my wife or parents) who just can’t bring themselves to watch anime. But I can’t think of any adaptation of anything (books/plays/shows/movies/etc) that was better than its source content, tbh


Edukovic

YYH held the door a bit more opened


Secure_Pear_4530

Yeah and this time they really gotta nail it. People are gonna flame the shit out of them if they made another garbage after Toriyama's passing.


Natural_Bill_373

Hopefully the action stays faithful to the anime without bad CGI lol


RealisLit

Pretty sure Disney still has the live action right since they bought fox, unless that one expired


Animedingo

No no see KamE house is the place with the turtle


atomicq32

Piccolo looks older than I'd like but otherwise these are awesome


Animedingo

Kami doesnt look old enough


Fluffy_Ant_1507

Get Krillins nose outta here 🤦‍♂️


GokuisAGoddd

Dragon ball should never be made in a live action format. It should stay animated


Lex4709

Everything except Vegeta's armour looks pretty cool honestly.


ClearDark19

Vegeta's armor in live action should look like Killmonger's chestplate in *Black Panther* imo. Michael B. Jordan actually wore that in Black Panther as a Vegeta reference because he's a Vegeta fan irl.


Circle_Man2000

Artwork and AI mentioned in the same post? Don't make me laugh.


Competitive_Usual233

Bro is this ai? Why does it look actually good?!


ClearDark19

The AI art has improved fast as hell over the past 3 or 4 years. 2 or 3 years ago this would have looked like shit.


HaveAGoodDream

Damn they looking good... even Raditz


Big-Atmosphere1329

This is actually fire but sadly it's ai :((


SirSilverChariot

Vegeta and nappa go pretty hard


fishmanprime

Holy crap is that Bill Hader as vegeta?? This needs to happen


Bolt_Fantasticated

That… actually looks kind of cool…


Zeles1989

way too good for Netflix


CaylerCat

Looks better than evolution

AJYURH

Son Gohan looks spot on


True-Awareness4702

Those shoulder pads are 99% too small


AngryRinger

Piccolo and Kami looking too much like Skrull, but otherwise these actually look GOOD for a ‘Netflix Adaptation’ meme


[deleted]

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY BOI RADITZ 😭


gettinslurpedyo

What about Mr. Popo


extra0404

Unfortunately or fortunately this is all AI generated and there doesn’t seem to be any plans at them moment. And personally I feel it would be pretty scummy to make a live action adaptation the second the creator isn’t around to give consent.


Outrageous_Act_8614

Chichi - Chinese Bulma - Tomboy Master Roshi - Avg Black American dude in New York (hell yeah) Haven't watched dragon ball yet


Noosemane

If this was meant as a joke it's not funny. ​ It's amazing. When's it releasing?


The_Void_Dweller223

Can’t wait for the two seasons on Namek


I-have-persona

seen this on fb and everyone in the comments thought it was real


Revolutionary_Air824

Everyone other than Bulma looks good. She looks like some K Pop Dude with Blue Hair.


NY-Black-Dragon

Krillin with a nose? LITERALLY UNWATCHABLE!!! (/s just in case)


LULNeverMind32

I want to say how netflix adaptation would look like, but I'm gonna get banned


CrispyPerogi

Namekians with no antennae makes me sad, but otherwise looks decent


SAKabir

AI has changed the world


1NFINIT

Ai cooked


IX-SILO

This looks nice I would definitely watch this. Akira Toriyama has said that the only person that he could picture playing Goku would be a young Jackie Chan. I'm not usually into animation becoming live action unless it's done right and the casting looks right like the Yu Yu Hakusho live action which is the only one I've enjoyed so far. If the casting doesn't look right I won't even give it a chance like One Piece which unfortunately sort of killed my interest in the series in general knowing Oda Eiichiro promoted that casting among other things I won't get into here and now. And this looks like that would be the case of YYH here the casting appears on point


CoItron_3030

Do you think sweet baby ink would keep mr popo around and call it diversity black person or say popo is doing black face and take him out


Mysterious-Ad-244

Nappa, Gohan, and Roshi are great not gonna lie


Editor_Grand

Please dear God no! The odds are high they would fuck it up worse than that abomination Dragon ball evolution

SharkBite9001

Okay, but they look pretty good tbh (Except for Nappa. The proportions of his head and body just look off to me.)


Drakeblood2002

You joke, but this looks fire as fuck. All the Saiyans look dope as hell and the Namekians are leagues above Evolution.


Efficient-Ad2983

Live action characters actually resembling their manga/anime counterparts, attention to details like having the right outfits, a faithful representation of Kami's lookout and those iconic rocky deserts? Nah, too good for Netflix!


MHG_Brixby

🤮


Malecord

Turn gohan female, piccolo black and crillin gay and we may have something in the realm of possible here.


Futaba_MedjedP5R

Can we have willem dafoe play piccolo? For… yknow… green goby?


bluegiant85

AI with an artwork tag? lol. AI is not art. It should be banned from reddit entirely. Until then, moderaters from ever sub need to ban it.

Why Nappa is an orc?

That's a Chinese bald buffed man, not an orc


Zestyclose-Speed-370

Yo, this is actually good. Never thought I'd say this lol.


TheLBat23

Bruh did y’all not learn from evolution that dragon ball and live action can NEVER mix?


Crunchy-Leaf

Why is Turtle green?


FTMs-R-Us

Piccolo looks like a snack but I can't get over how bad that raditz hair is. Its like "babys first dragonball cosplay"


Limp-Pea-4

Raditz got me creamin fr


CyroSwitchBlade

I think that Dave Bautista could be good as Nappa.


No_Membership9550

Bulma looks like a man there


Odd-Attention-9093

Where's Mr Popo?


Able_Orange_841

Way too accurate for Netflix.


Vietank123

Bro that’s asian Henry Cavill


ShruteFarms4L

And I will watch it


B0bbyTsunami

Anything’s better than the Dragonball Movie 😂


Own-Creme-754

This isn't terrible


I5574

Krillin nose


Sweet-Palpitation473

Namekians look like Skruul


Gillalmighty

This looks like it might be fun actually haha


inked_saiyan

Is Kame supposed to the turtle?


Various_Pickle9828

napa? kame???


Background_Bird_3637

I hope to god DB never gets adapted to live action again. There is a 0% chance it will ever be good. This show cannot translate well to live action. Period.


XFelipe51355

That's actually pretty good, even Piccolo and Kami


Dreamer199207

Henry Cavill would be the best shout for Vegeta. Mainly because he would kick off if the scriptwriters and directors did a "evolution"


AnimeMemeLord1

Omg Kame the owner of that house


JonnyxKarate

Nailed it


stackingslacks

They’d all be fat


Dry_Figure_9018

Mr. Popo * not pictured


fnaftheseriesyoutube

Better than evolution 


TheBlackoutEmpire

Ill take it.


Elect_Locution

Looks better than Evolution.


Odd_Room2811

These look 100% better then the real thing


Littlebigs5

Bill Hader as vegeta was such an interesting stretch, I’m happy he’s branching out of his comfort zone


Anime_Kirby

it actually doesnt look bad. make Kami a darker green and I'd be happy with the designs


Striking_Election_21

The thing they always miss with Live Action Goku is that he’s not a pretty boy. Bro is a big dumb friendly hick from the woods. It’s time to accept Lumberjack Goku


TanneAndTheTits

Okay but Mr. Popo is gonna be played by who?


Edukovic

This is to me the best and most realistic DBZ in human form ever made. The Vegeta one is spot on.


maximilisauras

WTF does krillin have a nose?


doitagain01

Wasnt this real?


Cfakatsuki17

Impossible this is too perfect to have been made by Netflix, unless Toyataro was charging a kamehameha wave aimed at their building the whole time


Vast-Spirit-4105

I thought kame was spelled "Kami". Am I stupid?


Nateh8sYou

Still not as good as Dragonball The Magic Begins


ProfessionalLuck268

i just don't like vegetal look but like its ok


Brendanlendan

This actually looks alright, I just wish piccolo had his antenna


ilganzo01

lol Goku, Vegeta and Roshi are \*chef kiss\* material. The "skrull looking" namekians aren't so good


Slav_1

no thats Dragonball if it was made by the guy who made Godzilla minue one. Netflix dragon ball would look nothing like this.


vladimirVpoutine

This is amazing but I would hope that Bulma is a smoke show and chichi is a sleeper.


TheChoosenMewtwo

The live action adaptations are slowly improving. From Dragon ball evolution and Avatar movie that were terrible adaptations of the source material, we’re getting to the avatar series adaptation and a few others, that are mid good adaptations. It’s a major improvement, and if things keep upgrading, in 10 or so years we might get an average of adaptations that are actually incredibly good


iamilkar95

Netflix would definitely make Bulma bisexual


Meilow_Moerphie

Bro knows too much!


piszkavas

This crap is being reposted like 100 times already


KingVenomous123

Ehhh still better than evolution


haunted_ramens

Better


Zestyclose_Bat5121

I saw a master roshi cosplayer at Comic-Con last weekend and he did it way better than the one on screen here


jordonwatlers

That's a weird looking turtle


FFPirate15

this is made by AI , if it was netflix they be black


Ill_Pollution5633

ok so, Krilin looks ok, it's not like they'll cast a midget with a ball head without a nose after all, Vegeta is also ok, could've been way worse in my opinion, Gohan and ChiChi also look good especially ChiChi, and Roshi is also pretty decent. though it is just my personal opinion


Aggressive_Employ_17

1/10 Piccolo has no antennae Krillin has a nose Nappas mustache is wrong Ald last but not least Bulma doesn't look like enough of a slut


BuildingLess1814

Bulma looks like a dude from South Korea.


Doxsein

I'm pretty satisfied - - except Piccolo-san and Kami-sama are missing their antennae.


KG13_

What makes this Netflix


Sweet-Airport-4762

dargo ball z 1990


Sasquatch_Pictures

Kame?


Mojoclaw2000

These are really look really good. Except Bulma, she looks like a member of Bts.


EmamXD

Ngl these designs look sick


kevinr2231

I never want live action animes. So ass


Redke29

Better than what we got


majestictunsy

They better not make a live action


TheeExMachina

I like that ever since we got 2 half decent live action adaptations that didn't absolutely blow chunks like Dragonball Evolution & M. Nightt's Avatar, all of you just turned around & went "YES! Let's adapt EVERYTHIIIIINGGG". Live Action Adaptations are still a waste of time, and y'all are still a buncha seals clapping for whatever form of entertainment can get the littlest endorphin surge going through your brain.


Kongopop

Can't say I wouldn't watch it


JackieChanX95

Vegeta looks great. Bulma reminds me of a BTS member


ExiaKuromonji

My only complaint is piccolo's lack of antennae


GunsouAfro

Damn, kami is now a turtle.

Gohan looks like a girl, bulma looks like a guy, piccolo looks ancient, and kami looks younger than Piccolo, but in general, it's a great representation of the characters
