Would DBZ Be Too Hard To Do In Live-Action?

[bogey_j]

I mean Toei has to look at what Marvel is doing and the crazy amounts of money they're making at the box office. Toei has a genuine competitor to Marvel & DC with Dragon Ball. do you think there will ever be a big-budget, Japanese-made live action DBZ movie to compete with all this superhero stuff, or is DBZ just too hard to make live-action?

It can be done

Just hollywood is so

It can be done if they actually stick close to the original material like the Marvel movies did. With that being said they'd probably have to do about 3-4 Dragonball movies before they get to a Dragonball Z movie. So many things would have to be set into place.

Goku and Vegeta are too visually cartoonish to do live action.

There are certain characters who you could tell a live action movie with. Like Future Trunks or a Piccolo.

The only way a DBZ movie would work is if they take reasonable liberties with it. Some things in DBZ just don't translate well to Hollywood, particularly the Japanese humor.
