After all, power levels and light effects both shoot through the roof the minute Vegeta steps into the picture.<br/><br/>Krillin's absence has also bugged me a lot. I don't think he was on the casting list, which is depressing. They've pretty much taken out all the comedic characters and are taking themselves too seriously. (Can you imagine Chow Yun-Fat as a perverted old man? I can't.)<br/><br/>Buh.

Krillin’s absence has also bugged me a lot. I don’t think he was on the casting list, which is depressing. They’ve pretty much taken out all the comedic characters and are taking themselves too seriously. (Can you imagine Chow Yun-Fat as a perverted old man? I can’t.)

Buh.

But Dragon Ball is a comedy, and a quirky one at that! What a pity... <br/><br/>Trailers can be misleading (where's Krillin?), but judging by the casting alone (that's supposed to be Goku??), this isn't going to be the adventurous romp with talking animals that I remember from my childhood... Oh Oolong, may you forever keep your women's underwear.<br/><br/>(( Vegeta's getting a brother? This is madness! Ne, but at least there will be more Saiyans now, even if he is going to be as much of a jackass as his onii-chan. )) The movie… ;__;
