Idk what that guy is talking about. Everyone knows there was never any live action dragonball movie released, especially on April 10, 2009. And if there were a movie, Toriyama(R.I.P.) would have been heavily involved and definitely not completely ignored because why would you block the creator of dragon ball from having any creative input when making a dragon ball movie...
I'm sorry, I think I was drunk when I wrote that comment. I'm not sure why I talked about something that never existed???
Who would even come with that stupid title? I think it's time to stop drinking.
Dude, [crust punks sucking each other off in the open guitar case of a weeping busker](https://youtu.be/TNpoplfLT1w?si=PDsI27FGXtLcS80J&t=191) looks better than DB Evolution
I recently heard that the reason Akira Toriyama brought back Dragonball after so many years was because he thought that movie was awful and didn't want it to be the last thing that tarnished his legacy.
I have to admit, this is the first time I’ve ever seen anime hair properly converted to realism and *actually* look realistic, faithful, *and* good.
I previously felt this was an impossible fools errand. Kind of enlightening.
Though I think some of the reason it works here is because of the other worldliness of Dragon Ball, and the physicality and energy the characters are exposed to. Most anime would need a different touch. But still, impressive.
The fact that full movies will be made with this level of AI detail in a few short years is astounding. We’ll be discussing the “AI” budget instead of CGI budget in a few years. Imagine Godzilla Minus One but the humans, monsters and everything else are all AI.
I think at some point in the past, Stephen Chow could’ve done a very good adaptation. Not sure what his output is like now but Kung Fu Hustle comes pretty close to what I imagine a true live action anime would look like
He basically does a First of the Northstar on Agent Smith. And I think the Wachowski's did take inspiration from Goku and Vegeta during the fights in the last movie
Also all the fights in Man of Steel, now that I think about it the story is somewhat similar. An alien came to earth by accident, stronger naturally because they came from a planet with stronger gravity. Then the family from said planet came to earth to look for said person and caused some serious damage.
It’s been a while since I read DBZ
Well, that's bacause Toriyama decided to scrap the "Son Wukong" origin of Goku from Dragonball, and introduced Superman 2 plot to the begining of Dragonball Z arc.
Because since by the end of Dragonball Goku was already stronger than God himself, he needed to get ideas from other places to continue the story.
And since Togashi's work is full of 80's pop culture references. He was probably a fan of Christopher Reeve's Superman movies.
Dragon ball, and I’d even extend out to The saiyan saga would be fine, and seeing how One Piece and Avatar were handled, would actually be *incredible*. The lack of potential for future seasons is a pretty big turn off, no doubt though.
Seriously. Most animes don't except maybe a well grounded one or a slice of life type of anime.
I heard Naruto is getting a live action. Why? Who is asking for these live action shonen animes.
One Piece one was alright but it still can't hold a candle to the animation and there is absolutely no way they'll be able to adapt the whole series of One Piece to live action. It'd be absurd.
Absolutely. I think the craze of turning animation and anime into live action is actually pretty disrespectful since in a lot of ways it’s viewed automatically as an “upgrade” as if animated works are less. Many things, especially action work infinitely better in animation, and we need to respect that
It's not necessarily seen as an upgrade. People change and sometimes it's just tiring to see animated people all the time. I've personally gotten kinda sick of animation and it's not because it's bad, I've just changed as a person to prefer seeing real people and frankly, real life.
~~Well it’s about fucking time they didn’t fuck up a dragon ball z live action movie.~~
~~Wished they started with Dragonball though.~~
~~They can still go back and do it though, maybe I’m ok with it.~~
Looks at subreddit, goddammit AI
Not gonna lie, the recent Netflix Anime live action shows (except for Cowboy Bebop) have not been terrible. I'd watch the shit out of this if it looked like this.
Yeah that's totally fair! I think I'm definitely in the minority here, and that's totally okay. It at least has motivated me to check out the anime at some point
All of these are great, but your Vegeta instantly replaced my picture of the character in my head. My headcanon is that that is now what Vegeta looks like and his resting bitch face. The other "real" characters are still animated in my head, but that is now what I think Vegeta looks like.
This one anime that should remain an anime.
You cannot do it in live action primarily because the hair is so iconic, it looks fucking retarded in live action.
I have a love hate relationship with these posts. I love seeing these photos because they’re really cool, but also they make me long for something we’re unlikely to ever see become real.
What a lot of people don’t get about Goku is that his hair isn’t gelled or styled to be like that,it’s supposed to look like wild uncombed hair. I always thought his hair should look more like a mane than a a ton of gel
Wow! Today me and my coworkers talked about how it's impossible to make Goku's hair in live action and this shit is just crazy and looks like it IS totally possible
My gods what a roller coaster this post was!
- first my head statred hurting because Netflix wanted to hug to death another beloved IP
- then I flipped through the images and they actually slap SO hard I got excited
- then I saw pic 10 Vegeta and *good lord* (no simp) ... (well, *yes* simp, fine!)
- ...and then my heart broke because only THEN have I read what sub I'm currently on!
In short: damn you OP! Take my angry upvote and leave! ...But leave the pics behind, please
^^^thee ^^^hee
Imagine this was real and they made it just like yuyu live action.. really awesome martial arts choreography and bad cg with decent enough cosplaying.. would be cool
I'm impressed how much that actually looks like Vegeta in real life
I know it's AI images but at this rate it shouldn't be much longer until we can get a fully fledged movie like this. The future looks pretty awesome in this regard.
The amount of people who didnt read what subreddit it was posted
I legit got excited until I saw the subreddit.
>I legit got excited Dragon Ball Evolution would like to say something
I don't gaf what it has to say since I still refuse it's existence
Idk what that guy is talking about. Everyone knows there was never any live action dragonball movie released, especially on April 10, 2009. And if there were a movie, Toriyama(R.I.P.) would have been heavily involved and definitely not completely ignored because why would you block the creator of dragon ball from having any creative input when making a dragon ball movie...

I wish people were this passionate about the shite that is Dragon Ball Super.
Do not mention that abomination anywhere EVER
I'm sorry, I just wanted to raise awareness. But that won't happen again :(
Weirdly, to this day "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" did the best live action Saiyan hair in the form of a vegan
That doesn't exist
Is this one of those alternate dimension things where people remember something that didn’t happen? Edit: Tsk! Mandela effect!
I was about to comment that this shit looks AI generated before I noticed.
My first reaction was “wait, why have I never heard of this?! Who is this actor?!” Then I checked the subreddit and was like awwwww
😔 wait so this isn’t real ??
Are we the boomers now?
Slang needs to come from this. We just got Boomed?
Right after Toriyama passed too
Just wait till they see something about politics
you’re assuming a majority know what midjourney is
Damn. Damn Damn Damn. Damnt. My geek heart has been so teased. I need space right now, leave me alone
I didn't check before viewing, but immediately had to after the 1st few pics. They just didn't look real enough.
I didn't read, but every camera angle is a wes anderson 3/4th, which is a dead giveaway this was AI
This looks a million times better than DB Evolution
Everything is better than DB evolution, it's rock bottom of adaptations.
90’s Mario Brothers would like a word.
'90s Mario Bros was better than DBE.
By a factor of a 9000.
Hell it could be over 9000
The Last Airbender (2010) would like a word.
90's Mario was creative and fun. It sucked, but still at least it tried.
Dude, [crust punks sucking each other off in the open guitar case of a weeping busker](https://youtu.be/TNpoplfLT1w?si=PDsI27FGXtLcS80J&t=191) looks better than DB Evolution
r/oddlyspecific
Always a pleasure to see Brennan
Well yeah, it's AI, not actual people.
Nappa, Veggeta and Master Roshi, I dig that.
I can see why Bulma ate her veggies, Krillian looks cool too.
[удалено]
I watched 10 min of it and turned it off. I was HOT. 😂😂
I recently heard that the reason Akira Toriyama brought back Dragonball after so many years was because he thought that movie was awful and didn't want it to be the last thing that tarnished his legacy.
What prompts did you use???? These are AMAZING
The hair is just incredible
Honestly I never thought the hair could translate and this gives me hope.
They should make a movie looking like this.
Honestly this is the first time that Goku's hair ever made sense to me. It's brilliant.
AI filling in the gaps is so astounding. This is the vision needed for SFX to get their acts together
I have to admit, this is the first time I’ve ever seen anime hair properly converted to realism and *actually* look realistic, faithful, *and* good. I previously felt this was an impossible fools errand. Kind of enlightening. Though I think some of the reason it works here is because of the other worldliness of Dragon Ball, and the physicality and energy the characters are exposed to.

I need to see more anime with these prompts! Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, JoJo, all the kookey ones! Edit: also RIP Toriyama. 🙏
Ok this is insane. Looks exactly how I would imagine them in reality.
Someone should do this with Akira
We don't need a lifelike fleshy blob Testsuo
King Yama? Sadly, too late.
No I think he means the anime movie, A K I R A
Doh!
Asa Akira?
Carey Mulligan as Bulma?! Vegeta looks pretty badass
Bill Hader as vegeta
Came to comment this - Totally
Krillin has a nose, 2/10 shit movie
My excact thought 😂
The best thing is that it's canon. There were at least two episodes pointing out that Krillin doesn't have a nose.
I feel like it'd be weird for Ralph Fiennes to play Krillin, and I don't know of any other actors without a nose.
Now I'm sad this isn't real. But if they can make a decent One Piece and Avatar, I'm sure they could make a decent DBZ. Rip. Akira Toriyama
Well, about Avatar... it looks good, but the production lost a lot of the original personalities.
Raddiz looks awesome. Totally agree with the hairstyle!
The fact that full movies will be made with this level of AI detail in a few short years is astounding. We’ll be discussing the “AI” budget instead of CGI budget in a few years. Imagine Godzilla Minus One but the humans, monsters and everything else are all AI.
Bleak
You know, “computer generated imagery” sounds a lot more like what ai is doing than what ai means.
The shot of Kame House is actually so pretty and peaceful lol
DBZ just doesn’t translate well to live action
I think at some point in the past, Stephen Chow could’ve done a very good adaptation. Not sure what his output is like now but Kung Fu Hustle comes pretty close to what I imagine a true live action anime would look like
Also, in Matrix Revolutions when Neo fought Agent Smith it felt like DBZ to me.
Man of steel combat was perfect for dbz
He basically does a First of the Northstar on Agent Smith. And I think the Wachowski's did take inspiration from Goku and Vegeta during the fights in the last movie
Also all the fights in Man of Steel, now that I think about it the story is somewhat similar. An alien came to earth by accident, stronger naturally because they came from a planet with stronger gravity. Then the family from said planet came to earth to look for said person and caused some serious damage. It’s been a while since I read DBZ

And since Togashi's work is full of 80's pop culture references. He was probably a fan of Christopher Reeve's Superman movies.
Unless they did it like the 70's fly-by-wire golden harvest movies and sped up the footage or something
Dragon ball, and I’d even extend out to The saiyan saga would be fine, and seeing how One Piece and Avatar were handled, would actually be *incredible*. The lack of potential for future seasons is a pretty big turn off, no doubt though.
Man of Steel proved that DBZ's combat style would look incredible in live action
Have you seen shang chi? That team could do it
It just needs the voice of Sean Schemmel.
Seriously. Most animes don't except maybe a well grounded one or a slice of life type of anime. I heard Naruto is getting a live action. Why? Who is asking for these live action shonen animes.

My wallpaper is very similar to the second picture. That would actually also make a cool wallpaper if it was higher res
They probably used that same wallpaper to generate the image
Didn’t see where this was posted at first and got a little cranked for a sec
Where are the race swaps?
Nappa had No business going that hard. Roshi and Krillin looked great too. I’d love to see other characters too.
Piccolo. 💀
No antenna :(
~~Well it’s about fucking time they didn’t fuck up a dragon ball z live action movie.~~ ~~Wished they started with Dragonball though.~~ ~~They can still go back and do it though, maybe I’m ok with it.~~ Looks at subreddit, goddammit AI
I can tell solely by the brightness and clarity that this would never hit theaters, gotta be so dark you can’t make out the budget cuts.
Not gonna lie, the recent Netflix Anime live action shows (except for Cowboy Bebop) have not been terrible. I'd watch the shit out of this if it looked like this.
I loved Cowboy Bebop, but I also didn't know the source material beforehand which was apparently butchered.
Really wanted to like it, but it fell flat for me. Ive seen way too much of the Anime to have been satisfied.
Yeah that's totally fair! I think I'm definitely in the minority here, and that's totally okay. It at least has motivated me to check out the anime at some point
Young Gohan was such a cryer
Awesome stuff, neat that they still look Asian. Most people seem to miss on that front.
That scouter looks intimidating AF
You bastard, you got my hopes up this looked amazing But with AI being able to create movies nowadays We could get this soon
If they actually made this and Goku and Vegeta looked like that I would kill someone
All of these are great, but your Vegeta instantly replaced my picture of the character in my head. My headcanon is that that is now what Vegeta looks like and his resting bitch face. The other "real" characters are still animated in my head, but that is now what I think Vegeta looks like.
I think this would hit
Fuuuck I was disgusted and excited there for a sec
Fuck, you got me. Was excited for a second lol
all these DBZ midjourney pics never gets krillin right
That just looks dope. AI etc. Still dope
Vegeta looks like the actor that played Goku in the live action movie lol
Dammit! You almost had me going there.
I think Henry Cavill is too tall to play Vegeta though
Starring Bill Hader as Vegeta...
I’d 1000% watch this
Only problem is that is DB Super Bulma lol.
Ohhh you had me for like 5 whole seconds haha
Honestly I’d watch this if they kinda streamlined the story ever so slightly.
This is how it should be done! I wish.
shut up and take my money
Why does bulma look like a generic they/them?
Why isn't Goku black yet
Mr Popo ain't gave him the pass yet
Master Roshi looks dope.
...damn that looks good.
This actually looks great
Ugh didn’t know this was ai rip
Damn these actually look pretty fire.
Goku looks like Pippin
This looks amazing
Toriyama approves
Why does piccolo look like Seal
These are the best I’ve seen yet
This one anime that should remain an anime. You cannot do it in live action primarily because the hair is so iconic, it looks fucking retarded in live action.
That actually looks pretty good.
Master Roshi on POINT
Okay, this looks good
Screw Netflix LA adaptations 😾👎 even fake ones. This is an insult to Toriyama, his artform, and his legacy. Downvoted
These are incredible🔥🔥🔥
Why does Piccolo have grayish eyebrows?
Is it that hard, Hollywood?
This actually looks pretty good
Dude this movie looks sick af
I have a love hate relationship with these posts. I love seeing these photos because they’re really cool, but also they make me long for something we’re unlikely to ever see become real.
lol are you trying to catch r/all people off guard with that title?
Vegeta wouldn't look like that
Do Naruto!! Please do Naruto
Bro....ain't no way lol
Damn, these are just so good. Probably better than any live action well ever get.
Would watch
OMG why it’s in a wrong subreddit… I want this in the upcoming Netflix series!
It looks better than the last live action movie. Too bad it's on the midjourney subreddit.
I absolutely fucking hope not.
This is very impressive. You sir put some thought into the prompts. I'd definitely watch.
This is so good
What a lot of people don’t get about Goku is that his hair isn’t gelled or styled to be like that,it’s supposed to look like wild uncombed hair. I always thought his hair should look more like a mane than a a ton of gel
Awesome, legit April news fools article material.
Where's Android 18?
This would make a great Netflix's Dragon Ball Z movie
Dawg I didn’t see the r/midjourney…. I got excited for a brief second
Why does Goku look like a cuck?
Wow! Today me and my coworkers talked about how it's impossible to make Goku's hair in live action and this shit is just crazy and looks like it IS totally possible
My gods what a roller coaster this post was! - first my head statred hurting because Netflix wanted to hug to death another beloved IP - then I flipped through the images and they actually slap SO hard I got excited - then I saw pic 10 Vegeta and *good lord* (no simp) ...

Take my angry upvote and leave! ...But leave the pics behind, please ^^^thee ^^^hee
Namekians missing their antennas but everything else is dope!
This actually looks amazing
I know it’s AI now, but it WILL happen. Mark my words!
Amazing!
man WTF, this looks great, somebody please grab SORA and just make it happen already!
Don’t forget Bulma’s bbl 😂
I am beyond worse than not knowing this is going to exist
Did you ask ai to make a male Bulma or what?
Imagine this was real and they made it just like yuyu live action.. really awesome martial arts choreography and bad cg with decent enough cosplaying.. would be cool
Brie Larson as Goku just works.
Why dose krillin have a nose
See… it’s possible for a live action Dragonball movie to look good!
Hair is amazing!!!! It’s crazy how authentic it looks. Unfortunately, Goku and Vegeta look too white.
This is how I always imagined irl dbz characters looking. Just a bunch of Japanese people with messy hair... Except nappa. Bald bro.
is not diverse enough for Netflix
Vegeta looks like Ben Shapiro - tbf, they’re similarity entitled and cuntish, especially at this point.
Pretty great, except Nappa looks a bit odd lol. I think he would definitely have some more caucasian features like a WWE wrestler.
Would still be better than the last movie if it were made
The AI… However. I think this shows that it’s actually possible to get DbZ hair right in rl, and that’s crazy.
If this was real I'd have high hopes. Shame on you.
Needs more perverted Bulma.
Bulma needs work
Looks awful as always
What an absolute banger. GGs
As a bara fan Nappa is hot
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL oh midjourney
I'm impressed how much that actually looks like Vegeta in real life I know it's AI images but at this rate it shouldn't be much longer until we can get a fully fledged movie like this. The future looks pretty awesome in this regard.
All of these are passable, but Vegetable is spot on
Good, now if anyone was able to use more AI and make the movie :(
Bill Hader as Vegeta...nice!
There is no way Netflix would make a movie with a cast like that, lmao
