Why hasn’t anyone tried to properly adapt Dragonball yet? Is it too far removed from reality?

Worst character and arc in DB. Remove him and include literally anyone else. Vegeta, Kid Buu, Piccolo, etc.

If I wanted to watch two guys screaming at each other, with barely a punch being thrown, I'd watch the Oscars
Ethan Smith
Here’s your Vegeta bro

Anime shouldn’t be adapted to live action, stop pushing for it. The expressive faces, the hair, the auras, energy blasts and ki techniques wouldn’t translate well at all to live action
Jayden Diaz
Live action can't compete
Jackson Powell
Goku being Asian is just something we should expect at this point. Ricels have always seethed and argued that Saiyans are Asian even though they are monkey aliens, but in today's culture the argument won't even mater he's just gonna be a chink. Frieza being voices by a tranny would be fine imo. He always looked and sounded like some androgynous faggot in the anime anyway, at least in the forms we most see him in.

Goku is supposed to be expressive though
Parker Martinez
Goku is explicitly tied to Chinese mythology, him being Asian makes sense
Bentley Martin
this but unironically. Live adaptations are only good when it's abstracted from the source material, otherwise you end up with shit like the last DBZ live action movie or Avatar TLAB
Logan King
I wouldn't mind if he played Piccolo. His voice isn't a match but his face could be and he'd probably do his best to be faithful to the character given his obvious love for the series.
Oliver Sullivan
Except he's not actually the monkey King and doesn't even hail from this planet. Asians just want him to be Asian and that's fine, it's when they start arguing that Saiyan=Asian that it starts to get cringe.
Yeah, theres many reasons casting the perfect Goku is impossible and a live action DBZ or even DB would never work without doing so.
Luke Jackson
It's not possible
Ryder Roberts
HOW the fuck would the characters look ?
The KAMEHAMEHA would look like shit
Henry Bennett
I would agree, but equally as cringe are the people who say that Goku and Vegeta are white. They are aliens bro
Lincoln Wright
Vegeta in the manga text speaks English perfectly fine. Goku talks like a country bumpkin up until he turns Super Saiyan. That's when he speaks in newspeak
Thomas Rivera
They tried white Goku and it was a fucking joke
Benjamin Ortiz
Fighting over the race of an alien character with no discernible racial features is cringe in itself. They should just do their best to find someone who looks like Goku enough and can emote appropriately.
English is a universal language in the manga.
Brainlet take. That movie was bad for a multitude of reasons but the casting is at the bottom of the list. The director literally knew nothing of Dragonball and didn't care for it or all or even read the source material, he even admitted so in an apology to the fans years later.
Elijah Young
What does this mean? Every character speaks English/Japanese/whateverlanguage, otherwise how would you read the manga. And yeah Goku grew up in the middle on nowhere so it makes sense he speaks like a bumpkin. Although I'm pretty sure he stops after the kami training timeskip
Angel Torres
Just don't. It would look awful.
Not everything has to be adapted as a live action movie.
Christopher Gonzalez
Man Of Steel is an adaptation of the Saiyan Saga.
David Clark
I know that everyone prefers DBZ because of saiyan stuff but if they ever do a live action adaptation, they should make at least 2-3 DB movies first

Nakao Ryuusei doesn't sound like a tranny
