Monkey King raised his head, his whole body exuded a golden flame, and the planet that was about to be destroyed under his feet.
Then the Super Saiyan grabbed Frieza's trembling hand and said:
Your end is here.
At the moment when everyone was about to despair, Monkey King finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of Prince Vegeta and his ancestors for thousands of years: to become the ultimate fighter who can completely eradicate the forces of darkness in the legend.
This great moment has shocked me for many years.
To commemorate it, I am willing to erase all subsequent chapters in my memory.
"The decisive battle against Namek" is the essence of "Dragon Ball", and the fullness and layering of the main characters in the comics have a qualitative leap here. Xiaolin was once one of the most happy characters in "Dragon Ball", but in the end it was he who traded his life for the awakening of Monkey King. Piccolo, the former Great Demon King, was the strongest justice warrior among the Namekians (the combat power value exceeded 1 million). The most outstanding was Vegeta. He was a Saiyan prince who was known for his bloodthirsty and brutality. The noblest blood of Saiyans, the most unfathomable potential, he was ashamed of losing to the commoner Saiyan Sun Wukong, but in the end he left all his hopes to his most annoying compatriots.
All these powerful characters gave the final climax a very sensational atmosphere.
Without the brotherly love and decisive courage that this atmosphere provides, the classic level of "Dragon Ball" will be greatly reduced.
If you remake this exciting classic comic into a movie, there is no doubt that it should be a man drama from beginning to end. If you don’t implement this decree, the final outcome is likely to be a bad film.
But the problem is that if it is really a man's drama through and through, it will be extremely challenged in the mainland Chinese film market. (Except those that instigate national sentiments)
Nowadays, comedy elements are an indispensable weapon for success in the domestic film market (this is related to the entire policy environment and the appreciation tastes of mainstream audiences). However, a comic-based film cannot be too stripped of the original and unconstrained. The most appropriate way is based on the "Dragon Ball" "The comedy component of "itself is then given a cinematic interpretation. But at this point, "Dragonball Evolution" still has not achieved the ultimate (actually far from the word "extreme")
market positioning is not accurate, the loss and misplacement in the process of mutual translation of cultural codes, and the spirit of the original comics The lack of this led to this nondescript inferior commercial product that we finally saw.
For real comic fans, this is a huge regret.
Nonetheless, verbal criticism is still unnecessary and useless. What we are facing is just an ordinary member of the thousands of failures on the commercial film assembly line. Although it could have been better, it is impossible to control the will of comic fans. Even if one day you can personally direct the tube, you will be caught up in intertwined interests and complicated power constraints. After all, not every director can become a so-called "movie author."
So in the end, the movie cannot be a dream but a true portrayal of our imperfect life.
And these "successors of the 21st century" who spent their youthful years holding comics step by step stepped away from the dotted paper shrouded in mystery, far away from dreams, and slid into the deeper gully of the adult world step by step, and finally nowhere. A fierce man plunges into the mud of hiding and never looks back
. The pure pleasure derived from the Qinglang painting grid is never to be found. The inexplicable courage to fight evil has also become a dream windmill. Have you ever thought that the land where we live is also the Namek star.
Frieza has been there for generations to come, and his Kinho special forces can never survive an outstanding Monkey King.
Super Saiyans drift away in our increasingly sophisticated minds until they disappear...
just like a friend too far away
