Do you think DBZ and other manga franchises can ever replicate Marvels success on the silver screen?

[Raptor]

I mean there was a time when Iron Man and Batman were considered childrens genres and adults who would collect batman comics were seen as man childs. But now most of the audience for the marvel movies are adults and its treated as as more of a serious genre with adult themes and complex plots. Could DBZ ever be replicate marvels formula and be successful, catering to a more mature crowd than the usual 10-25 year old weaboos.
Wouldnt mind seeing a CGI spirit bomb and supersayian transformation on imax too.

Hell no.

 

[ORDER_66]

it depends.... I think Naruto has a great shot.... DBZ failed.....

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Nope. Live action could never capture the essence of DBZ.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Hell nah, the following is no where big enough.

 

[Master Teacher]

no, because comic stans blindly support these terrible movies no matter how trash they are, anime stans pale in comparison

also comics are american made and manga is japanese made, animes are their movies over there and release like blockbusters with great fanfare

Because theyve never done it right. I think someone could do it tho, but itll need be a director like Christopher Nolan . We could say the same thing about the 70s hulk live action shows

Yet in the 2000s they did a decent live action movie with Eric bana. It can be done as Hulk has shown

winter Soldier would disagree with your assessment...

The problem to me is that those properties would have to be done justice by Japanese cinema, and the western support would have to go beyond the cult following of Asian films. Being done by Hollywood would result in some b*stardization that would be so awful, that no one would support a series.

As shytty as that Dragonball evolution movie was, it showed that there was a lot of hype and support from everyone who watched the cartoons as kids.

i would much rather have the japanese do it actually. I think most would agree. And theres a large and dedicated fan base in Japan. I prefer it actually when i think about it. English subs will be all i need.

I agree, but in no way would it do numbers away from Japan. shyt would be shown at art house theaters for like a week or so out this way.
