Get ‘um while they’re hot! Fox will be sure to take them down!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Ummm IMHO…. Piccolo looks like shit, looks way to much like a vampire from buffy… sigh… im let down now…
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:35 pm
. . . . . . . . . . .he’s not…green….
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
wow that is horrible..Piccolo looks so bad
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
No antenna, not green… and in the first image of piccolo his ear isnt even pointy
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
oh no…excitement level down
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
He is not green,but he really scares me :S
Well,i don´t think it´s soooo bad
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 pm
That can’t be right can it?
James even said Piccolo was supposed to be green in the movie….
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Pic looks great to me. He is green (pale green) and he does have some form of antenna.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 pm
HES NOT FUCKING GREEN.. JP IF THATS PICCOLO BUT IVE BEEN REALLY SUPPORTIVE AND IVE ALWAYS SAID THIS IS GONNA ROCK BUT IF THATS PICCOLO THEN FUCK THIS!!!
SCREWW DRAGONBALL

September 2nd, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Aw, I like it.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:42 pm
AND ANOTHER THING THATS NOT A DRAGONBALL WHERES THE STAR!
im gonna cryy
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Thats…thats not green…fuck.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:43 pm
JP that isnt what Piccolo should look like!He is a pale yellow human with alittle point ears!He looks so horrible…This movie hopes went down alot for me…ALOT!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Piccolo looks like Frieza in the first pic. Other than that looks good. I nearly crapped my pants when I saw this. Thanks JP!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
rest in peace louiebling$ died after seeing piccolo for the 1st time
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:44 pm
FUCK YOU WONG MAN. FUCK CHATWIN, AND FUCK MARSTERS I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPOINTED!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Piccolo looks more like freiza there than anyone else but he still looks good!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Okay SolarTiger.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Not only am I worried about Piccolo,but that 2nd screen of Goku looks like it was cheaply blue screened.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:46 pm
FUCK IM SOO PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
I have turned on this movie,high school crap,no krillin,and piccolo like this!!!This sucks majorly and I wish some people would admit that this piccolo isnt what they had in mind.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
okay okay, im sorry for my recent posts. He looks good in his own fag way!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Yeah Solartiger. FOX has screwed us again!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm
WOWS i bet im not the only disapointed one but I kinda like it… MUAHAHAHA
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm
have any of you ever freeze framed a moving image…?
And Jesse, that type of language is not allowed here.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Maybe thats his human look. And he gets green later.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
The second frame of goku looks awesome…it’s like it’s directly out of the anime!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Well looks like I have nothing else to live for so I might kill myself.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:50 pm
srry Jp but COME ON!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I agree with SolarTiger…. in high school, no krillin, piccolo looks like that… lol…. Im adding in the dissapointment because of fart jokes as well..
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 pm
him having no antennas are ok with me,but the fact that he’s not green disturbs me.
What I don’t get is that James PROMISED us that Piccolo was green…
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 pm
PICCOLO LOOKS AMAZING!!!!
Piccolo rise
I love it!! James Marsters rules
He looks 1000x better then I thought.
He doesn’t have his antennas, but who cares. They made Piccolo believable! Something Jesse could never do.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
what about what James said! The hours of make up!! Somethings up. Either fox is screwing us. Or its Fake!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
that 1st pic of Piccolo makes me think of Bram Stroker’s Dracula
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Corey, wake up and smell the fail.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I was thinking the exact same thing, Foolinfection.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Honestly, Piccolo doesn’t look exactly how I was imagining, but think about it guys; Marsters is REALLY serious about portraying the character right, and maybe the essence of Piccolo is still there. PLUS, both pictures of him appear to have a bright source of light shining on him, so he could very well be greener than the images make it seem. I’ll save my real opinions for when I see the actual trailer.
Aside from that, the other pics look good. I honestly believe that Chatwin is THE best person to play Goku. He LOOKS like Goku.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
there’s something about the 2nd pic with Goku in it.
The flame that’s right next to his head doesn’t look like it’s finished or something.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
“him having no antennas are ok with me,but the fact that he’s not green disturbs me.
What I don’t get is that James PROMISED us that Piccolo was green…”
Because he is. . .
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
@www.myspace.com/coreywilson10
Got a question for you Corey and JP,do you want Piccolo to look like this or like his anime part?Which would you prefer.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I agree with Sean on the fact that Chatwin as Goku does look amazing.
The Gi fits him well.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Seeing Piccolo defianlty made my year better!! I have to admit One of my favorite pics is defiantly the Goku and Master Roshi pics!! The fighting looks like it’s going to be true to Dragonball.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Oh Snap!
Piccolo looks interesting…could have been a few shades darker though.
There’s that eclipse that’s been rumored for awhile too.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
This is a fucking useless argument. This has FAIL all over it.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Jeff Says:
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Corey, wake up and smell the fail.
I agree,overly optimistic people annoy me as much as people who bashed the fimn non-stop.At least the bashers have something legit to bash now.I have lost alot of hope in this movie
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
But the gi looks awesome on Chatwin!
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
piccolo looks really bad. i had so much faith in fox to get him right and they just failed. no antennae is not okay, in my opinion. it takes away from piccolo’s identity. i think they could have done a much better job. hopefully the make up will change with the story…
on the other hand, i think chatwin looks great. i think he’ll make a great goku.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 am
I agree- he does look a lot more like Freeza in one of his later forms, IMO. But mostly he reminds me of…er. Hell Boy? I never actually saw the movie, but it looks like the same make-up artist or something…I dunno.
Meh. He’s not that great. Mainly I wish he had much bigger ears, but then if you look at his ears as compared to other characters’ ears in DB they probably weren’t really meant to be super oversized. Toriyama just drew everybody’s ears big.
Um…from a fangirl’s perspective, I wish he were handsomer…eheh. I’m blushing here, but I feel like they could’ve left off a lot of the make-up, kept him more along the lines of Marsters true face, and it would’ve been fine. Well, better, IMO.
But honestly, I think seeing the trailer itself will be what really solidifies my opinion of him. Justin, meanwhile, looks pretty cool. Nothing too new to look at- but his outfit does look more like Goku’s than anything I remember seeing yet. Lalala. But Piccolo’s my favorite…meep. Don’t mess ‘im up, please?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 am
JP,I’m sorry,but me nor anyone else here can see a shade of green on him.
I wish I could.
If you even look in the shaded parts of his head in the first pic,it’s still a whitish color.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:01 am
I think we all died a little inside SolarTiger…some of us cant see it though.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:01 am
Guys, I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, I think FOX has been fucking with us for a while, I think there sending out fake shit, even the posters and stuff. That source awhile back (forgot his name, wasinthemovie or something) swore bumlma had full hair and stuff and we’ve seen interviews where its mentioned too. Same with roshi and no beard and stuff. I think that we will see bulma FULL blue hair, and classic roshi and everything… somethings brewing.
BE AWARE!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
So, because Piccolo is a different shade of green than we are used to the movie is doomed?
You know, Toad was a different shade of Green. And Beast was a different shade of blue. :/
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
What about the 6 Hours.. I dont think it takes 6 hours putting on nothing. Somethings up. Gus you gotta Agree. were are those hours?
C’mon.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
I thought that also NimbusRyder but, no, just no with FOX’s history in movies thats all you need to tell that they are NOT that smart.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:03 am
FUCK YOU COREY! THIS PIECE OF SHIT PICCOLO IS FAR THE WORST LOOKING CHARACTER EVER! HE’S NOT GREEN AND DOESN’T HAVE COOL ANTENNAS ON HIS HEAD SO FUCK YOU! THIS DIRECTOR WONG CHANGED THE ANIME CHARACTER COMPLETELY INTO UTTER BULLSHIT!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:04 am
PS LOOKS LIKE ROSHIS DEAD IN FIRST PICTURE
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:04 am
JP,I’m saying there isn’t ANY GREEN AT ALL in these pics.
I thought Beast looked awesome btw.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:05 am
**Guys**
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am
but I have faith still Jeff. Theres just so much pointing towards the fact. I just feel it, and im sure we will see at least three different types of all characters. Three different bulmas (blue hair, hair we’ve seen, maybe the pink wig we heard of) Three roshis over time (classic, this one, homeless/undercover) Goku has his different gii’s right…
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am
@SolarTiger
It’s obiviously I love Piccolo new look. It looks scary and beautiful at the same time. I can see James Wong Piccolo happing in real life more then I can see Akira’s Piccolo. This new look makes me wonder how his acting is going to be. Having him look exactly like the show would not make you consentrate on his acting. I love how James Wong made him believable.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am
Roshis not dead, Goku just knocked his ass down. I guess the movies not a total failure just they changed too much.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 am
KING PICCOLO RULESS!!!!
These are the best pics I see all year
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 am
PS LOOKS LIKE ROSHIS DEAD IN FIRST PICTURE
——————————————
Thats actually Toriyama after seeing the trailer.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 am
JP, dont you understand at all? This is fucking DragonBall! We want near EVERYTHING the same! Some of the bullshit I could understand at first but this just takes it two steps too far! I grew up with DragonBall, it helped when I didnt have a father figure around and also just changed how I looked on life. This is not DragonBall. This is not original, nor faithful, nor what the fans want. This is 90% fail and 10% FOX. Fuck.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 am
They mentioned that Piccolo doesn’t have antennas in the movie a LONG time ago.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 am
Hey Piccolo has horns in one pic and none in the other!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 am
I still have hope in this movie being awesome to watch.
But,I just wish that they at least made him green. I don’t think that would of changed James acting at all.
Chatwin as Goku look awesome.
Fat as Roshi id awesome.
Emmy as Bulma makes me happy so far.
Most of us are still in the shock of seeing Piccolo’s face out of nowhere all of a sudden.
First we were talking about a poster then -BAM- this just exploded onto the scene.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 am
So, just because that Piccolo doesn’t look the same that means that it won’t carry the same message that the series did, Jeff?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 am
“JP,I’m saying there isn’t ANY GREEN AT ALL in these pics.
I thought Beast looked awesome btw.”
I did too, but I also see a pale green Piccolo in front of my eyes.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:12 am
Theres a chance that those Pics are Mai, just trannsformed,
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:12 am
ONE MORE! is it just me or does it look like chatwins making a spirit bomb in the first one?! I HOPE NOT!
(@Coreywilson: Dude we love your comitment but like… man up and admit your at least a little dissapointed, yeah I’m going to live with it, yeah im still going to love this movie and it does look cool, but we’re all a tiny bit shocked, im sure even JP can admit that)
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 am
Thats not the complaint here MadJunior. The problem is there is no fucking green on this thing called Piccolo. This whole thing is an abomination so far. If I am proven wrong, then shit bring it on! I want this movie to be everything it needs to be, but the fact of the matter is that this… this is just insane. FOX needs to be shutdown for good.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 am
I see no green at all.
Does anyone else see any green on this Namek?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:14 am
I’m actually really impressed with chatwin, i think he’ll do just nicely. Well piccollo may not look 100% the part, due to paleness/lack of antennas, but im sure he’ll act the part just fine.
So Bulmas hair is not completely blue, Piccolo doesnt have long antennas, Roshi doesnt have a turtle shell…Changes must be made, sacrifices must be made. DRAGONBALL MUST BE MADE.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 am
PPPPPS JP where did you get these?!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 am
What Im saying here is that I understand that this is not shaping up to what it was promised to be. Nor what it needs to be.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 am
*I SEE YELLOW
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:16 am
(BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS GOING TO NEED A VERYYY LONG PODCAST TO SORT OUT!)
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:17 am
I really like piccolo we knew he wasn’t going to be exact like the Cartoon. But I hope there is an older looking piccolo he looks pretty young to me there… and the new form of piccolo I bet will be a greener or darker colour.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:17 am
Guys now that we’ve Calmed Down. We should Talk about what we like.
I like that Piccolo looks like Piccolo just barely Green. Maybe No Green is better. As for the rest of the Pics, I love Them!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:18 am
I have been a huge supporter of this film. But if thats a shade of green than I’m a monkeys uncle.
Everything else is OK, I like the spirit bomb pose in the first pic.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:19 am
Can you see this “Piccolo” becoming friends with Gohan?! Can you honestly see this thing becoming friends with everyone? I see no turban, white cape, antenna, and finally where is the fucking green? You guys cant be serious! This just makes my head blow how some of you could defend this!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:19 am
The trailers gonna rock tho.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:20 am
Screw calming down! Im on fire! I hate FOX so God damn much!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:20 am
Well Jeff, if an old green monster can make friends with gohan then this guy can.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:21 am
Tis true what Jeff is saying.
and I’m with him 100% of the way on what the essence of Dragonball is.
I’ll be damned if they change the whole theme of DB altogether.
Spider-man kept it’s theme that with Great power comes great responsibility.
If they change the reason of why Dragonball was so great to many of us then why not be angry at this movie.
What I’m talking of is beyond Piccolo’s make-up,it’s about all the changes we’ve seen so far altogether.
Let us not hope that they change it comepletly.
And we were Promised by James and Chatwin that it wouldn’t be changed.
I hope we don’t get screwed over that matter as well.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:21 am
@holmination
that better not be a spirit bomb pose or I’ll flip, if he learns spirit bomb from roshi and they cut Kai (as im typing this I realize how likely it is… FUCK!) then I’ll be pissed…
Dman
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:22 am
The piccolo pics make me wanna cry
I’ll get over it though cause Goku looks hot!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:23 am
I don’t think Chatwin is doing a Spirit Bomb pose int the first pic.
He’s either landing or jumping.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:24 am
The first pic looks like he’s bowing to the Eternal Dragon to wish Roshi back to life.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:24 am
pICCOLO PICCOLO PICCOLO. What about how Damn perfect Chatwin looks as Goku! IT’S GOKU. He’s Back!!! So this is what happened after GT, he flew off to become live action. It all makes sense to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:25 am
Jeff stfu King Piccolo had no turban, king Piccolo was pale in comparison to Piccolo we already knew he was going to be a yellowy green I’m sure when your in the theater he will look a little more green. a lot of the photos we have already have been dark to very light…
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:25 am
um I think he is definatly green. Especialy if you look aat his ears. also block out the strong light with your finger on the first one. Also the second image looks alot like him.
I like it:)
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:26 am
There is one thing that also makes my blood boil. What. The hell. Is wrong. With. The DragonBall? Thats all I have to say on that subject.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:26 am
lol these pics remind me of back to the future for some reason……..
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:27 am
HORRRIBLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:29 am
Color shade aside, I think Piccolo looks pretty sweet in the black suit. I really didn’t think they would show Piccolo on the first trailer…
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:30 am
Walsh I understand but what the hell is he wearing in that pic? Now look at JPs pic….notice something? THEY ARE COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT. Do you think that they will make Piccolo Jr. look even remotely close to him?! No. Theyll fuck him up and make him look exaclty like King does, same pale, pale, pale, yellow green. maybe different suit. I eat a fucking pine cone if Jr. has even a turban.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:30 am
can someone use photoshop and make him green, i just wanna see it:D:D:D:D:D
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:30 am
The Dragon Balls look smaller than I expected, but that doesn’t bother me. WAAAY better than Dragon Pearls.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:31 am
I can’t believe you guys… You demand Piccolo pictures and when you get them you get pissed off? What’s so wrong with it? I see an extremely pale green, too. I see the true evil in his concept. You guys, it doesn’t even look like Marsters anymore. I personally love the way he looks. He just looks bad ass.
By the way, loving the way Goku looks.
Still give this movie a chance, you’ll see. Look at the story of it and the acting and the action. Good god. You guys really piss me off.
I like how JP and Corey Wilson have the right attitude. Get off the site if you hate it so much or stop complaining and at least watch it.
And so what if there’s no star in that particular picture. Maybe it’s just a screen shot, so get over it. Jeez…
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:32 am
SOMEONE JUST STATE THE SOURCE OF THESE PICS PLEASE!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 am
See. This is the kind of people that like to suck FOX. Dont you dare give into FOX people.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:33 am
I CAN EXPLAIN THE DBALL remember in the anime t would glow.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:36 am
Wow.. this is interesting.. Funny how months ago, ppl were criticizing Chatwin and praising Marsters, but now that these pics have been leaked, it appears to be the other way around.
If u guyz ask me, ur all just a bunch of friggin whiny babies. You cant make up ur minds and u dunno when to STFU.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:37 am
Jeff we get you don’t like the pics….but what what the hell are you talking about lol
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:38 am
Lol I was talking about Tasunara.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:39 am
Seriously, leave if you don’t like it. You can’t change our opinions. You can’t force yours unto ours. You’re just wasting your own time.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:40 am
piccolo is in pic7 just look at the guy with a little blonde hair( The guy exactly East)

Now you cant tell me that that does not look better.
Thats what green is!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 am
my hopes for this movie were so high up until now. Everything looked and sounded great, with Goku going to high school an exception, but Piccolo doesn’t look anything like the anime whatsoever. I just dont know how much i’ll enjoy watching that piccolo on screen. Im still stoked for the movie, but i dont know. that doesn’t even look like piccolo. I bet they’re going to screw up the saiyan outfits in the sequels even worse than they did with piccolo
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am
Stop Jeff? Fuck that! Everyone hates it, all but some of you out there that just cant seem to see the truth.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am
Kay, I’m not sucking FOX, but Dragonball was my life growing up. I didn’t have much friends at all, so I buried myself in DBZ, and I’ve always wanted to see Dragonball come to life for real. Dragonball: The Magic Begins was horrible, and it can’t get worse than that. All I’m saying is you guys are complaining about the thing you wanted to see the most. You won’t give anything a chance because he isn’t green enough for you. BIG DEAL, GET OVER IT. You should’ve guessed that it wasn’t going to be a beat-for-beat adaptation. So what’s the problem?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:45 am
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg180/Foolinfection/Piccologreen.jpg
somebody requested that the piccolo pic be photoshopped to look green to see what he would look like.
I whipped this up really quick so give me a break if it’s not right.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 am
Still dont see it? I hate everything about this movie now. Piccolo was the what snapped.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 am
“Stop Jeff? Fuck that! Everyone hates it, all but some of you out there that just cant seem to see the truth.”
And just a couple months ago, you were one of the ones who were trying to get people to give it a chance. You’re dumb as hell if you’re going to let one simple picture change the way you look at it. AND IT’S A MOVIE!!!! Just watch it if you want to, but there’s really no truth to opinion, so shut up. And just because everyone hates it doesn’t mean we all should. Get over yourselves.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 am
Nimbus Rider check the website I popsted above.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
Sorry “posted”
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
ill be honest, when i first saw these pics I saw Chatwin and I was like dammmm that looks like Goku!!! Then I saw Piccoli and I was like WTF! Thats Buffy Vampire Slayer written all over it….but i stepped away for 10 min came back look at the pics again and you know what he doesn’t look exactly like the original iwas expecting it to be darker too (he probably is green just the lighting makes him look a light green/yellow) but looking at it now I can accept that as Piccolo! he does look good for evil piccoli i wonder if they wil lchange it for good piccolo though!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
Looks like the green goblin. You still cant save him anyway you look at it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
Tasunara.
What Jeff is basically talking about is the fact that we didn’t get what we were promised.
We spent months thinking Piccolo was supposed to be green. that’s what we were told by Marsters himself.
now some of us,like Jeff,are pissed because this has all been changed on us out of nowhere.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:48 am
Hey guys, so … is he King Piccolo or young “Reborn” Piccolo???
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:48 am
Once again, Jeff. OPINION. Oh wait, I’m sorry. Your opinions are facts, right. Jeez, why can’t you just accept that not everyone is going to share the same opinion as you? Just because it’s not how YOU want it, doesn’t make it a fact.

Green is a problem on film. Remember, they use “Green Screen” for cgi because that color doesn’t show up on film and they can easily put FX over it. If they made Piccolo the original green, he would disappear and you couldn’t really see him well. They had to pick a shade of green that was slightly yellowish so he would stand out on film.

BTW, nice job on the Fan Art, JP. I like the way that looks.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:49 am
Thanks, Tasunara. Thats pretty much what we got in the movie. I really like it.

deadlocke04.
that’s why blue screen is a nice alternative.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:50 am
They TOLD us that he wasn’t going to be green a while back.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:51 am
Oogyboogy, i feel the same way, girl. i wish they didnt mess with piccolo’s face so much cause marsters’ profile is perfect.
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:51 am
Anon, he’s King Piccolo, and I know what he was trying to say, Foolinfection, but that’s still no reason to hate the whole movie.
And I never thought about it that way, but there’s a probable reason, deadlock04! Nice argument.
He really truly doesn’t look all that bad.

For all we know, these photos aren’t the final color edit.

I’m a bit disappointed in the look of Piccolo too but gesh you guys… A lot of you really need to stand back and look at what your getting so worked up about. It’s a movie.
Maturity level on this site is.. kindergarten?
(not everyone)

see, simple photoshop makes it looks SOOOOO much better, thanks guys~

the ones that are bitching..you guys are fucking stupid….stop and think for once you dumb asses… Green is a problem on film. Remember, they use “Green Screen” for cgi because that color doesn’t show up on film and they can easily put FX over it. If they made Piccolo the original green, he would disappear and you couldn’t really see him well. They had to pick a shade of green that was slightly yellowish so he would stand out on film.
and besides it’s common sense to know that if you are old you are a pale color…not a bright highly saturated color full of life…fucking cry babies

I thought of that, but why would the put unfished shots in a trailer
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:54 am
Old = pale
Young = bright you idiots….
when he wishes his youth back he will be green….and Marsters never said “HE” would be green…he said that Piccolo is green
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:54 am
He looks like King Piccolo to me big old round head little beak of a nose. he pale like an Old man that red suit might be his oriental inspired clothing… and the black is his is combat suit and dear god the Ki attacks better not be clear like that movie the covenant we need bright flashing colours giving us nose bleeds

JP!!! WHERE ARE THESE FROM!! HOW DID YOU FIND THEM!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:55 am
1. in most of the set pics we’ve seen they weren’t using green screen.they were using BLUE screen.
2.when were we told Piccolo wasn’t going to be green? in most of Marsters interviews he even said Piccolo was going to be green. so wtf is up with that?
3.I’m just on Jeff’s side with what he’s saying about subject #2 which I listed above.
I for one don’t hate the movie.

Let me sate the obvious, he could… i dont know.. be performing the kamehameha wave… not the spirit bomb :O
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:57 am
And he finally sees it! I loved the idea of this movie! I wanted it soooo bad and supported it for so long, hell I even tried to get people to give it a chance we still haven’t seen the trailer or official pics yet!
Well let me tell you something. I silently sat back for a while and watched news slowly trickle in and my love for this movie quickly became confusion, then hope, and now hate. I have every right as a fan to say that this is not what I want. I see that some of the people that I shot down were not so very wrong they just saw what took me a long time to relies. We have all been looking at a big pile of fail.
I was stupid as hell now that I see it. I was so very trusting to give FOX my hopes and we get this? This is going down in my books along with all of the Resident Evil movies as the WORST LAM ever.
If you want this movie to happen then let it happen, and if it is good then its good but from what I see its shit. Utter shit made to sell and make money and to step on fans hearts. Im sticking to my guns.

with his hands up in the air… think about what your saying
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:58 am
ps i think hes on one knee too
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:00 am
whats that mean?
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:01 am
he is fucking green he’s just not the green your puny brain imagined it to be
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:01 am
Take you time boys and girls Ive got all night.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:03 am
I did mention the spirit bomb also. But I dont think thats what he is doing. The second pic looks more like the start of the Kamehameha, his left hand is blue.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:04 am
I agree with everything Tasunara just said!!
I love how they showed the true evil of Piccolo. Fox did a amazing job transforming Piccolo into reality!! It’s 10x more beliviable. The new villianess look makes you concentrate on his ability and not on his appearence on the show. People doubted Heath Ledger Joker. People said Heath Ledger was to scary and not Jack Nicholson enough. Guess what????
Heath did a Oscar worthy performance.

I first thought chatwin looked ace then saw piccolo. I think everyone is gutted looking at him for the first time. They had a list to check off when designing him for the movie and theyve missed the main ones. Weve all discussed the bad points about him but it is the demon king piccolo and theyve given him the old namekian head rinkles. But i cannot for a second imagin a place full of the most peacefull race of namekians when they look like a vampire off buffy. The antenna might grow out of the little holes aswell if he needs to sense sumthing.
If hes about 7 foot, has the attitude and voice ill be happy enuf. I like marsters but even he must have been expecting dissapointment having watched the series with his kid.
Also hes been locked up for thousands of years is greyish white and has no antenna.
ITS GARLIC JUNIOR!!

I think he looks alright. This movie is an adaptation. Im sure everyone who worked on this movie did the best they can to please the fans. I think we should all support this movie even if piccolo is a different shade of green..because well…. ITS DRAGONBALL! I will be looking forward to seeing this movie no matter what! And I like the dragonball.. Its much better than the ones in the magazine scans. Goku looks pretty bad ass too
plus the setting looks VERY dragonball to me!
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 am
The effects in the 2nd pic don’t look quite finished yet.
note the flame next to his head.
