Piccolo looked pretty green to me... It looks like it was just the lighting that brightened him up. Sure, he isn't dark green, but as someone said earlier, it is probably before he got his youth back.

Eh, really can't judge an entire movie on a couple random stills, I'll reserve my judgement until I see the actual trailer. Piccolo actually looks fine to me, he isn't dark green, but I wouldn't call that a normal flesh tone either. He also looks old which fits if that's what they're going for.

I'm still interested.

That pic could be before Piccolo gets his youth back.


Exactly my thoughts. Depending on how the movie goes there'll be a younger and possibly darker skinned Piccolo to come.

We also have unconfirmed reports of FOX not being too happy with some scenes with Piccolo, could it be the Daimao-ish Piccolo? We've yet to see, that could be why it's been taking this trailer so long, and it's not here yet.

Why is the old vampire from Blade 3 in a Dragonball movie? Then again, maaaaaaaybe if they're going with old King Piccalo first, this almost makes sense. Yet he could have been older looking if they're doing that. Still, not holding my breath. I could swear Marsters said outright that Piccalo was green and all.

o_o whatever, it looks good to me. I'm glad people who are crying out it's going to suck is NOT going to see the movie.

That means I don't have to punch any a**hole that decides to cry out fail in the theater.

Movie etiquette, always.

Seems like the link is down.

EDIT: Just the Nerdorama link. The other one for the Dragonball Movie Blog is still up.

I say this because while it's nice for Piccolo to be green, it would only not look silly IN THEORY.


How would it be any sillier than Hulk or the Green Goblin? [Man. It's sad that I'm actually defending that Raimi version as being more faithful, too....]

I want something that breaths new air into the franchise.


What franchise? The series has been done for over a decade now!

I think if the characters can get the emotions and personalities of the characters down, I have no problem. I watch movies for good acting and messages.


Well, DBZ has neither of these things; and if it did, no one would watch it. Rolling Eyes

Hey, if you like the sound of crickets chirping at your theater, then be my guest! Laughing

WHAT FRANCHISE!? Gee I don't know, the one that's been perpetually churning out video games, re-releases and world wide translations even before this Anime crap got huge? Bah I quit this bitch.

Everybody looks good except for Piccolo. He looks like he's a white version of that purple bad guy from the first Power Rangers movie. I'm afraid I'm still going to see this movie, though.

I can't stop laughing at the hawaiian shirt.

Is it just me or does the movie depiction of piccolo look more like garlic junior?

The only thing that pisses me off is the poster (because it doesn't even look related to Dragon Ball), but Emmy Rossum (Bulma) is just too hot. Very Happy


It isn't unusual these days for there to be multiple posters that spotlight specific characters or factions. I'm sure there'll be a Goku poster and probably a Piccolo poster as well.

It's one still from a full length movie. It's not like the shell and sunglasses were glued to him, we saw him more without the shell than with it. I have a little faith that they'll give him his sunglasses in a few scenes, but "realistically" you wouldn't wear sunglasses in a poorly lit space.

Once again: if i didn't go into the pics knowing what is was, I would have thought Piccolo was somebody else.

Personally, he looks like Frieza. if he was trying to be Frieza I'd be all over it. But he's not. Fail.

It still looks bad. :sigh:

Goku is a college student and It looked like bulma was sneaking around in one of the scenes.It's just like the series.
