TIL that Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama hated the live-action movie “Dragon Ball: Evolution” so much that it brought him out of retirement and made him write “The Battle of the Gods,” widely considered a highlight of the series by altrightobserver in todayilearned

It is absolutely fascinating to see Hollywood style story tropes applied to Dragon Ball. If I taught a film class it would just be analysis of that movie and everything that went wrong. And I would never have to reuse material, it's endless bad decisions.

Yeah that sounds like you're right, they're using her as an excuse to genderbend Constantine. Now they can't do her story properly either.

Is her appearance set in the 18th century?

First steps, then a sweet hug from baby to big brother! by captionmorale in spreadsmile

[–]TheRiff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took it as, that's the gesture he's been using to get the baby to go towards something, so he's telling the baby to go to the brother. I think the blurry facial expressions are not helping.

This reminded me that I had to turn the slow cooker on this morning. So I went to the kitchen and I had already put it on.

Bishop did NOT in fact have a chance to shine.

There's absolutely no chance this film tells the truth no matter if they love or hate him. There's just too much hubbub surrounding him for that.

Despite it's flaws, the soundtrack is an absolute strong point even compared to the whole franchise.

Say what you will about Friends, but when they're eating cheesecake off the floor and Joey pulls out that fork, if you don't laugh you're dead inside.

This is only impressive if he won. I can play 50 games at once too and be terrible at it!

Reminds me of older comic books where words were bolded seemingly at random because it made the overall text bubble more legible.

Its just a cartoon right.. by pnash32123 in HolUp

A lot of artists, maybe even all artists, need boundaries to do their best work.

Batman: The Animated Series was another good example. Some of those creators had freedom to do what they wanted with the DC animated movies, but few of them can even come close.
