Piccolo and Mai on a Rock

December 12th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

The title for this post pretty much explains it all. We’ve got a new Piccolo (James Marsters) and Mai (Eriko Tamura) set photo to share with you today. And they happen to be standing on a rock.

Civilized James also has a shot of him in a different pose.

    @Voice of reason?: I respect your comments towards me and take that rapper thing back, it was not really my intentions to imply the piccolo role should be a rapper, but still if they had of played around with the subtext of this movie, and put some real live literiture elements, they would have actually captured the whole principle of the DB saga, for instance vegeta, although not in this movie, has some serious racial complexes seen thoughout many races, Its not racial sterotyping I want to spire, it is more of pride that brings the concepts to a more realistic audience with multicultural favor. The chance of really looking into the audience’s race and instilling real pictures of how it can be destructive verses how it could aid the world, was lost in this movie to younger viewers who could honestly begin a stronger generational as well as cultural relation in our adoluscents’. This has been a milestone in development that has many times and again been overlooked, just to produce a story based on priceless fun. For this reason the movie industry is nothing more than an entertainment industry, rather than a true story telling genre of our past and future. Again I do not want to be raciest at all, but without seeking to instill a formal sense of multicultral dialoge the anime turned into movie, has become nothing more than a cartoon set in a live playlike performance. Vegetas race is based on an apelike testostarone driven alpha male character thus is the same for goku who should of been played as a young boy who lacks grooming and education and is driven purely by the animal instincts that give him only the necessities of life, such as be good, eat when hungry, and only kill when life is threatened, but they completely overhauled and overlooked all these elements to create a young man who is drivin solely by his peers as do all highschool students, for instance master ro calls him the choosen one, thus he feels obligated to be as such rather than being determined to protect life by defeating the predators who pray on his newly orphan inhereting family. This is also a factor they completely overlooked with piccolos character, thus making a movie that will not sell well do to lack of contemplation of where fox could take this movie to new hieghts of popularity. So overall this movie will suck, im not hating but honestly stories of all sorts usally are successful and pass on to the generations because of the moral it implicates, but this movie will only end up on dvd then in a garbage or recyclying plant for better quality movies to come, unlike starwars which is also about to follow the way of the dinosar because of its sellout attributes. It is plain to see that Fox, along with many other movie corps lack the true ability to understand what really sells, and what is just another cheep profit in the pocket. I for one thought that a million dollors was more than enough to produce a movie that amazed the world, but I was wrong, or just stuck in a relm of denying ideas because of dictorial pessimistic rehtoric that people like bush and businessmen alike take to a science. overall this movie could’ve been the best action movie to date.

    These pictures look great and Piccolo is GREEN!

    The only bad thing about this page is the grammar in these comments I’m reading. Some people can’t type or spell, either way it’s funny as hell.

    I THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE HIM LOOSE HIS ARMOUR ION THE LAST BATTLE AND SHOE THE GREEN SKIN AND RED/ORANGE ARM PANNEL THINGS

  13. December 16th, 2008 at 12:56 | #13

    the best part is the second picture where you can see piccolos peach skin under his left sleeve.

  14. Damo
    December 16th, 2008 at 14:43 | #14

    the photoshopped pic made me notice somethin…where his arm is actually armoured and its not just sleeve is where his pink muscles normally are…i wonder if thats just what theyre coverin an if they get blown off maybe then we’ll see the pink parts

    altho even if we dont i dont really mind he still looks cool an i guess its alright to leave out a few bits in order to maintain credibility i mean if you left in everythin from dragonball then youve gotta be honest as awesome as the manga/anime were itd be pretty dumb haha

    I think piccolo looks pretty awsome how do you want him to look honostly you think there going to match him 100% with the anime then your crazy. I think piccolo looks badass anyhow damo I think he is going to lose his armor at some point in the movie because I dont know if you see those promotion bears or not? It has one of goku and piccolo and piccolos bear is him with the pink muscles so will have to see what happens.

    Piccolo doesn’t look anything like he should. If he’s supposed to be the original evil lord piccolo, then his skin is too light, he shouldn’t have armor just a martial arts gi, the boots are messed up, and where the hell are his antennae? (and did anyone else notice that when he crosses his arms you can see that his arm isn’t green?)

    the movie looks great… but they could have at least made piccolo look more like piccolo

    December 17th, 2008 at 00:41 | #25

    I think Piccolo is just great! He DOES have antennae, they are like looking backwards, not pointing up as in the cartoon. I think the antennae are just fine the way they are, imagine making them pointing up, they wouldn’t look good for me, too childish or not scary. I guess the word is adaptation…to make an adaptation requires certain changes (i.e. antennae shape)…he has them, just not exactly as in the cartoon. Adapt does not mean imitate. It would be the same if they represent Goku eating out of a bowl at light speed as they did, they wouldn’t do that, not real, not true, but they adapt that fact with a big piece of drumstick to show his anxiety while eating. Bulma’s hair is not all blue, just some parts and the same logic should be placed here..should she have all blue hair? This is just my opinion and from my point of view, adaptations are liable to change although always keeping the character’s spirit. Good point about his arm not being green!. Regards!

    mai is phlif minion, not piccolo’s but i guess she changed sides…. what a bitch…. J/K
    mai was partners with the fox / wolf guy with phlif in dragon ball. 8O yes i’m a dbz nerd ……

    You can see a little bit of his skin that wasn’t painted between his glove and armor. :D

  28. December 17th, 2008 at 06:44 | #28

    did u know piccolo is a white guy look closely at his arm they are so budget they can’t afford green piant 4 his arms

    @ranma: Yeah…I guess the make-up artist only does his face for 10 hrs every day?

  30. December 18th, 2008 at 00:37 | #30

    Anybody else notice that there are antennae in his head? I bet they come out in the movie, just you wait. I’m actually pretty excited. They have the dragonball wavy pants down as well, I see.

    Also, I think one of the main reasons Piccolo looks so different in this one is to differentiate him from the good Piccolo that we will see in later films. They’ll want him to look less evil obviously. Even Piccolo Daimoh looked different from the Piccolo we all know and love. He looked older, in my opinion.

    I await this movie with excitement, and I am a fan of the manga and anime.

    DANG i think piccolo looks pretty bad ass…the only thing im not feeling is the armor it looks more of a batman kind of armor but fuck it i guess i can live with it…..and mai looks pretty good too :wink: :lol:

    oh and have you notice that near piccolos hand between the glove and his long sleeve…if you look closely you can see a little part where he’s not green….EEEEEEEEE they fukked up lol :lol:

    but i think that this movie is going to be bad ass….and you know whats funny?? haters were first complaing that piccolo was not green enough and now that they turned him green he aint the right type of green….WTF!!! you haters can never be satisfied!!!! :evil:

    if they did use a black guy as piccolo, here are some pointers in doing his makeup, for one he’s black, so they would have to use lighter colors in order to highlight the areas were the green appear, like his cheeks, nose and forehead, they wouldnt need any under his eyes but purhaps about his eyes, and the cheeks would probly have to be made from a silicon mold with an olive like green dye in it. But having a black person as piccolo would completely remold the look of piccolo instead of this jim cary look alike.

  33. December 18th, 2008 at 15:08 | #33

    please change mai dress, i do not like it, i mean: how is she going to fight with that clothe?

    I like it how both look like… it’s a little bit funny.. but cool… I think it’s not easy to make them look like the real ones… a good solution! but I really like Picoolo’s arm! i mean… his head is completely green.. and then? you can see his arm: flesh colour!! xDD haha it’s great.. BUT i hope that won’t happen in the movie… that would be… embarrassing

    this movie is gonna be so lame that they had to explain the trailer to us, do to the trailers lack of self explination. I guess they just put in so many lame scenes that the whole movie is hard to keep up with as well as difficult to be excited about. They really need to trash this film and remake it with a whole new cast and scenes. It lacks thought and imagry. I just got through seeing blade runner last night on sci fi, that movie will never go out of style, but the only reason why I wouldn’t let anyone make a sequel to it, is cause it has yet to be matched with any other movie, and the part two would only hinder its flavor. Fox throw this thing away, and save some embarassment, maybe even an fbi probe for all the tax payers money you’ve spent creating movies that have no consumer input in them whatsoever. And haters don’t really exist, what haters are, is a classification that rappers apply to honest critics, but because all those rappers are insecure about keeping their unearned title they classify the critics as haters. So in reality, not a tv sitcom, im a critic. fox you suck, why cause the forbidden kingdom sucked, unless you have a very child like mind, x-men 3 sucked, unless you just like cgi and spfx, chronicles on narnia sucked because nothing in that story had any morales just the same bible story my mom used to read to me at night, its old, I don’t really know if you made those movies but you might as well, cause most of foxes movies suck, your better off just hiring some random guy off the streets like me, im good at story telling.

    Piccolo has a pimp outfit
    Roshi and Grandpa Gohan are pwners

  42. December 22nd, 2008 at 09:36 | #42

    green head but white arms which you can clearly see on his left wrist…..yeh good one real “promo” shot here…..he’s as skinny and short as mai….once agen good call fox 8O ………and the pose oh my thats the best bit…power rangers here we go again……..for f*c# would you idiots stop making fox think theyv done a good job, theyv ruined the legacy like everything else they touch and all you guys can say is its great?? because you just want a movie right?

    see i aint a hater i used to be obsessed with dragonball, dragonball z, dragonball gt and i must say after this comes out, im keeping the whole dragonball is cool thing under wrap. would you like your friends knowing you support something with james spike his face and justin chat alot about nothing in it? your all jokes

  43. December 22nd, 2008 at 09:44 | #43

    iv jus noticed something else!!!!!! does anyone not think that the pic of mai is actually the same in both?????? her hair looks like its been edited to look different but LOOK! she is exactly the same in both of them? so she didnt move an inch while marsters moved about is that what there implying? summit is fishy as always

    Yeah, well they’ve done more than you thus far. I would love to see your face if they would have stripped the story of its Asian roots! You think it’s messed up? What if they had taken a story like “The Goonies” and overlaid “Dragon ball” on it? You really don’t know the meaning of the words messed up… :lol: :twisted:

    To J-SYN:
    OMFG one my friends have no eyebrows(no kidding) was once painted in green on halloween when he was a kid(no kidding), and at that time he had strange scars on the sides of his head(no kidding for one side), and he is exactly the same height as the Piccolo(kidding, but lets imagine)… – HE IS 100% PICCOLO!!!!!!!!!!!
    This movie is SO MUCH like Dragonball! – MAJOR sarcasm (hate the pic)

    just lookin at it again… i cant believe how stupid they look

    any1 who sees the trailer for this and is actually excited about this movie should look inside themselves and ask “which do i like, dragonball z n the whole db series, or dragonball evolution?”
    in all honesty, it can’t be both.

    if u wanna be all defensive or whatever, then i’ll ask u, why would u want them to change everything about the series so much? because if u honestly think they haven’t completely overhauled the story, the universe, and everything that is dragonball for this movie, u haven’t been paying attention. thats the plain and simple truth and anyone who openly disagrees could not possibly be respected by any dragonball fans.

    i’m trying to be as objective as possible here, but as a db fan, its kind of hard. still, anyone who’s offended or defensive about what i’ve said has an obvious dislike for db fans in general.
