Do yall really hate this movie because Goku is white?


idk, I thought the movie was pretty good except that Goku is white and should be Asian, but I wouldn't rate a movie down because of just that

I'm sure it's high on their radar, but it's not the only reason. The most obvious being that the film is so different from the source material. The mythology was completely rewritten. I do prefer this film's version of Chi-Chi, though.

For the fact that he's white to have any impact is utterly retarded.

Asian Actors have a hard time getting good roles and when a good role does come its whitewashed most of the time. Also this movie is Nothing like Dragon Ball and even if it was not called Dragon Ball its still a horrible film.

I am talking about American Films,yeah they struggle and roles get whitewashed
Death Note,Speed Racer,Fist of the North Star,Death Note,Last Airbender,Edge of Tommorow. Even true stories that were about Asians were whitewashed

Yes, because every alien that comes to Earth are always default as white, but most of all, he acted too much like a cliche white boy being the weirdo of his school. The school part was the worst part of the movie than the race on my scale. It doesn't seem like Goku at all. Goku never went to school and would never choose love over fighting.

I actually love this movie, it's obviously a crappy movie though. The problem wasn't so much the main character Goku, because whether he should have been Japanese or not is debatable. A lot of people wanted a re-imagining of the series on screen. A lot of people wanted a movie with out cheesy cliches, good writing, and good directing.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie despite its flaws. But I can't imagine a single DRAGON BALL fan ever saying that.
