They are working on it. And the Otherworld tournament.

Honestly, having Cell interact with Freeza and his dad, AND the Ginyu Force, will be glorious no matter what.

And given Kaiser's tweet about it, scripting Bojack was a nightmare.

I figured that it’d be one of the easier movies to make a script for.

If I had to take a guess we'll see Bojack in December.

According to Kaiser, it's been a chore to make the script "workable". He's also outright said he's not sure how good it's going to be.

Funny, Bojack has always been one of my favorite DBZ movies.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Honestly, if they announced that they were going to abridge OG Dragon Ball, I'd be more hyped for that than for anything else they could possibly abridge.

I'm very YMMV on that, because much of OG Dragonball is already a comedy (Especially the early arcs). And I find abridging a comedy often leads to meh results. Coz you're making fun of something that's already not very serious.

Yeah, that's the exact reason they gave for them not wanting to do that. Abridging is supposed to make stuff a comedy. That doesn't really work with stuff already a comedy.

MvC Infinite was a good game...

[up][up]No, it wasn't.

it might have had good gameplay, and that matters more then visuals, but when your game is a downgrade from a previous game released an entire generation ago in terms of visuals, as well as recycled models and barely anyone new, getting rid of all the unique character soundtracks in favor of MCU esque scores, all to pander to the MCU crowd, who didn't bite, buy the way, you know you have fucked up.

The gameplay was good, but the roster, music, designs, and everything else sucked major amounts of ass.

And the press surrounding it didn’t help.

Like, I’ve played good fighting games in shit dressing before. But rarely ever in a AAA title, in one that’s advertised based on the dressing rather than the gameplay. If the game had been cheaper and focused on the gameplay possibilities, it probably would’ve found moderate success - like the Power Rangers fighting game.

And when the press did focus on the gameplay, it did so by insulting the player base’s intelligence (say, did you know that nobody’s actually a fan of the X-Men any more, and that caring about the characters beyond being a collection of functions is ridiculous?).

I can kind of assume what that means...

...but would like a slightly more in-depth explanation anyway.

Also the story was So Bad, It's Good, but with heavy emphasis on "Bad".

And there was a heavy contrast with Injustice 2, which came out earlier in the year and critics liked.

It had Mega Man X finally out of Capcom's basement and that's enough for me to consider its existence valid.

Remember, OG DB getting abridged would mean an insane ammount of call forwards and the like.

Their original plan was to adapt it as a series of movies, right?

I could see them resuming that in the future, if they do anything.

Baba's Tournament, Epilogue.

  • Grandpa Gohan: If I ever have a grandson, I hope he grows up to be just like you.
  • Goku: Wow! Thanks, Grandpa!
  • Bulma: You know, we do have Dragon Balls. We could use them to wish you back to life.
  • Grandpa Gohan: Mmm, no, I've got a good thing going for me right now. And I think Goku's doing okay.
  • Goku: But you could come home! We could be a family!
  • Grandpa Gohan: I should get going, I hear some fine ghost women with no standards calling my name.
  • Goku: BUT
  • Grandpa Gohan: BYYYYYYYE GRANDSOOOOOON!!!

Path to Power Abridged would be rather fun to watch, if only to point out how weird Kid Goku wearing his GT clothes in the Red Ribbon saga is.

I figured that it’d be one of the easier movies to make a script for.

Well half the movie focuses on a tournament and Bojack himself doesn't get a lot of play, so maybe it's hard to write a story around that? Though I guess they could cheat by using Disembodied Voice Bojack.
