* \\\'\\\'Film/DragonBallEvolution\\\'\\\' had \\\'\\\'Franchise/DragonBall\\\'\\\' fans complaining about the fact that Goku now goes to school, even though it\\\'s a minor plot point. Then the animal characters were taken out, which is a bit more understandable, although still pretty minor. (It makes you wonder if they\\\'d have been able to make them believable though.) And of course far too many were complaining that Emperor Pilaf wasn\\\'t the villain because \\\"he is the first BigBad.\\\" There are fans that have a problem with Goku being \\\'\\\'white\\\'\\\'. \\\'\\\'Dragon Ball\\\'\\\', being a show fans have watched since their childhood, can\\\'t help but being horrified to see such a symbol of Asian pride flanderized.
** People were in an uproar when the first brief images of Piccolo showed him to be a pale white. (Note that these early images did not give a very close look of his face.) Later images showed him to be a pale green, symbolic of how long it had been since he saw sunlight. When trailers appeared, it seemed like they did some color correction to make him more green, possibly to placate the fans.
*** Piccolo\\\'s actor, James Marsters, is at least partly responsible for the characters final look. Apparently, the execs wanted to go with a younger look for Piccolo. Marsters, being a fan of the anime, nitpicked the makeup artist to make him look older and older to be more faithful to what the character looked like in the anime.
** Lots of people have also been complaining about the hair. Goku doesn\\\'t have his distinctive hairstyle, Bulma\\\'s hair only has a blue streak, and Roshi actually has hair and no beard. Apparently the filmmakers considered making both Roshi bald and Bulma with bright blue hair, but why get Chow Yun Fat in a major role and have him unrecognizable and Bulma\\\'s hair looked just as goofy as Goku\\\'s original hair style.
** Now that the movie is out, it is safe to say that this trope has been \\\'\\\'\\\'[[AvertedTrope averted]]\\\'\\\'\\\'. It doesn\\\'t suck because they changed it, it sucks because it is a bad movie. [[SoBadItsGood Unless you like that sort of thing]].
** More like a \\\'\\\'\\\'{{Justifiedtrope}}\\\'\\\'\\\'. The changes weren\\\'t minor and the movie seemed like a \\\"safe\\\" adaptation that got rid of what made the series original and replacing it with cliched ideas and just pain bad writing/acting.

This is not what en example looks like. {{Averted}} and {{Justified}} for one entry is bad writing and bad troping. Please put it back in proper write-up.
