Pre-green Piccolo
Nov 11th, 2008
We were sent a new photo today, which we’re told is of Piccolo (James Marsters) in a pre-green state. Supposedly he evolves throughout the movie, and at one point becomes greener. It looks like his wardrobe also evolves.








I like how Piccolos coat is looking ( The texture and color look far better in the coat). My one complaint is Piccolos lips being pink, and the fact that the face make up looks rather grainy and a bit cheap. But its very possible that they intended to make his face seem a bit grainy (Remember the reports of moss growing in Piccolos face/head within crevasses).
I think he looks pretty good now but i would like to see him in green form just to see that he doesnt look really weird
looking pretty rad…. 2nd
I want that cloak!
GO TEAM VENTURE!
ha! new it!!!
I do see a small hint of green…Very small. Not bad in all. But like you said, this is a “PRE-GREEN”! Though, I do like how James (Piccolo) “looks” so far!
Looks good
looks pretty out of this world
Looks fucking AWESOME
“Supposedly he evolves throughout the movie, and at one point becomes greener.” he may get antennas by the end!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks good. I like these photos.
Hes cloke looks very simular to the 300 ones, which is a good thing. The colours look good and it looks like there may have been a ancient greece influence. It looks like they designed him so that he could walk down the street with out attracting to much attention, unless someone got to close then they would notice and ask if he was feeling ok you look a bit green:)
well his not THAT green, but its ok, at least his not white (like he was in the 1st picture that he appeared), i loved the cloak, its not white like the anime but whatever it still looks like a lord.
but we know, not matter what, there’ll be hate, but thats not just for dragonball guys, its for everything in life, you cant please every1, the problem is that sometimes is just for pure hate even if they actualy like, stop nit-picking.
I know who I want to be next Halloween that costume is fucking slick
I love it! Took some time, though but the look is badass!
I think he still looks too human, the skin tone is peachy.. I hope he gets greener later on..
I was just sitting sideways in my nice comfy chair when I came in and saw those pictures, I was like holy sh*t and sat straight up, the facial expression on his face gave me the impression that he is not someone you want to f*ck with.
I like the pose. It looks bad-ass. Now if someone drop a can full of Green paint…..! lol
Wow he looks f*cking scary! I almost shit my pants when I saw this!!! (Good piccolo marsters)
Wow
Great
Piccolo scares the shit out of me
He looks really human !! I am still very excited though !!
Yes he truly looks evil here and these are just set photos. I can’t wait to see how he looks in the finished movie.
@trunkssjin4: I am trying to say he doesnt look very alien ?
Wow. Can’t believe I’m saying this but I think Piccolo looks badass. After seeing these pics, my faith has been restored again
Nice….nice,but he looks too human.
But i like it
@Yamcha: can you not read?… “at one point becomes greener.”
it’s a realistic demon version of :Piccolo that’s all I’m going to say
I wonder what does piccolo do when he raise his hand up becasue he is doing it again in this pic
Guys dnt worry. Didnt u read the title “Pre-green Piccolo”
haha, he looks amazing, imagine him in big screen, i think that he wil be more green in the movie, these are just set photos, wow he scaries me a lot, he ias amazing, he is out of this world
1-roshi will be a little pervert
2-goku is amazing(he is the main actor so if he is amazing the movie will be amazing)
3- i like the new bulma
4-the actor that play yamcha is like yamcha, he is fantastic
5-the pictures of the oozaru, maybe he will be giant and with cgi he will be amazing
6-i like picolo with sword, a villain without his sword is not a villain
7-chi chi looks fine, and mai too
8-fox said that picolo will be more green
9-the story is the same as the anime
10-the high school topic(i like this idea , please just imagine a 18 boy that he isnt in school, he will be an idiot, and i like that goku is more inteligent that usually)
haters i mention 10 things that the movie is like the anime so why you complain again about the movie??? all haters are just retard

DRAGON BALL RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

He look pretty okay, but ya if he’s gonna be greener that’ll be more like the picollo we know.
@SSJ Jon Says
Ki blast!!!!!!
. . .whoah. . .
One of the reason why he looks so human in these pictures is because he has his hood down. Most of his alianish features are above his eyes. You can see from the picture on the left that they have followed the marking from the origanl piccolo with crease marks at the top of his nose and no eyebrows.
I think he’s using the force.
i made that picture green for fun haha
Anyone else notice his eyes are dark in one pic and light in the other?
The robe is very detailed like Craig said, I love it. His look on the first picture is very dark and evil, although he isn’t completely green it seems, that his forming into it. Looks good to me
@Moplaya43: It’s the shadow from the hood he is wearing, which makes his eyes seem darker which they aren’t
And I have to be honest here I think this piccolo and his costume looks better than the watchmen costumes, the costumes in that do look a little lame…
I like the dark, scary tone this movie is taking. Classic PG-13 goodness.
What the hell happened to the feelers on his forehead?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s really sucking in those cheeks. Zoolander jr. He just looks like piccolo if he were an albino.
when can we get one without his hood
Eh, it’s not bad. but it’s also not like the piccolo i know.
i like when he’s in his fighting armor!
@sajin0084.deviantart.com-dats true…. piccolo basically looks like goku in da anime jus green and everything above his eyebrows well not his eyebrows cus he didnt ave any
@goku2222: HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL the best response to all the blindness people…
Fox is hiding something, and it’s with this fucking hood
ew.. in the first pic he looks WAAAAAY too human. it looks like james marsters in a cloak. the second one is a lil better. Both need some green though.
I’m very much so okay with that! Happy to hear that he will by the end be the mean green alien kick-ass machine!
kaypain, is it perhaps…ANTENNAE?! lol
I dont know it just reminds me of somthing from masters of the universe. It just looks really poorly done. I am huge DB/Z/GT fan I am stoked for the movie, I just get close to the picture and it looks like his makeup was done by a parent getting their kid ready for halloween !!
where is his sword???? guys just imagine him with his sword, ………………o my god goku will have a lot of trouble when he wil fight again him, he just scared me a lot, here need a big oozaru to take him down, all these things make the movie so …………so big.
and http://armando254.skyrock.com/
wowwwwwwwwwww, this movie really rockzzzzzz, DRAGONBALL RULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Hello everyone
DragonBall… come on people you know better. this is not like DB, its look like a own created story with characters that are diffrent from the cartoon! its nothing like DragonBall. I mean look at those personages, piccolo in wite color?? is he changed into albino
AND GOKU!? it doesnt even looks like Goku. Look at his hair and his clothes. Goku was wearing that orange looking clothes everytime. I think if they are going to make that movie.. then they have to go for it! I am sure all DBZ FANS in the world will be dissapointed if they see this horrible movie. I am fan of DBZ and I am dissapointed already
I dont know about you, but I will not see this movie as the REAL DragonBall movie.. everybody in de whole movie must be perfect like the cartoon and the story must too! this what I was thinking…
yes pictures
get pumped with this trailer. piccolo looks great here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-fl5vdTtxo
Piccolo (James) is REALLY going to make this movie, of course he isn’t the lead protagonist but that doesn’t matter. At the end of this film IMO we will be floored by his performance!
I’ve seen people walking down the street that look like piccolo. He looks like a normal person with very defined bone structure LOL. He does look a little pale hint of green but nothing like a namek. Don’t get me wrong he doesn’t look bad but he does not look like a namek.
[...] menos asi es como se comenta, Dbthemovie recibio estas fotos de Piccolo (James Marsters) en las que les comentan que Piccolo esta en estas [...]
这部影片开始寻找真正伟大的
我不能等到出来
You guys got to remember that Piccolo is a plant person, like all the other Namekians. Plant people need sunlight and water to survive, Piccolo even stated in the anime that he only needs to drink water. So, think about it. He was locked away for who knows how long… One would assume that he would wither a bit. Once he’s back out in the world, he would liven up a bit. That’s my take on it atleast… I love James’ Piccolo regardless!
tá muito legal!
Piccolo vai arrasar!xD
o filme vai ser foda!
tudo muito bom!
every thing is cool for me…
Piccolo is gonna kick your ass!xD
the movie is gonna be soo fucking awesome!
I loved!
@sajin0084.deviantart.com: i agree with you if piccolo is more like a dark green it will look like a cheap antagonist and it will look like cartoon:D
masters rulz!
hawt pics very nice =]
hey i found this image of chatwin:

not seen it before but its hot as hell! looks pretty real to me too!!
James looks ok here
PICCALO EVELVES?????!!!!!!!!
THIS IS FUCKING BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW MANY MOVIES DO VILLIANS ELOLVE AND LOOK COOLER AND COOLER
I wonder how they’re going to play this in the movie, I mean, how does he evolve into Green form? He’s a Namick is he not? So if he’s Namick isn’t he already supposed to be green? What are they going to change the story some more and say he ate a poisoned apple or something? Stick to the SCRIPT! I still have my hopes though and since I am such a big fan, I will see it in theaters, I’ve been waiting for a live action movie for more then 10 years.
Cmon, those pink lips make him look like a sissy.
GANGSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LUVVVINNN ITTT, LOOKS FUKN COOOL GEEE ;D;D;D KEEP UP THE NEWS ADAM ;D
AAAAWWWWWW CCUUUMMMMOOOONNNNNNN
WE NEED PICS OF
PICCALO WITH HIS SWORD!!!!!!!
AND GOKU FIGHTING PICCALO

@Doritos: dude ur stupid, he never looked white… thats about as white as he got
Lol people keep saying ”he looks like a human” well, piccolo DOES looks like a human, the only differencies are the antennas, no eyebrows and the green skin, in the picture he has no eyebrows, and his alittle green (pre-green so..), so only thing left are the antennas, which none knows 100% sure that they aren’t there (even thought it doesnt matter)
he’s looking pretty sexy, and those cheek bones are EXACTLY like piccolo daimao’s. i can’t wait to see him with his hood down! (oh, and when he’s greener)
@Yamcha:
dude learn to god damn READ
Is Piccolo a DARTH SITH?
@SSJ3000:
learn how to read, i said he looked white in his 1st photo shown to the public (the one that appeared in the leaked trailer, and he is white)
im not talking about the new pictures, blind fool.
WOW! im impress of what they’ve done so far on him…well sort of. theres probably a good reason why he’s starts out white. as all u fans know king piccolo was locked away in a jar for a loooong pd of time by master mutaito nd probably over time, nd im assuming they added this part to the movie–after being away from light for so long his (pre-green)skin complection probably faded away. that makes sense right?? plus in most of the movies today dat are based on cartoons and/or graphic novels they dont stick to the complete storyline, like in IronMan he was suppose 2 be fighting Mandrian at the end, not Iron Monger also in the Spiderman flims if u didn’t notice dat Sam Raimi(the director) doesn’t keep spidermans villians for more den 1 film, green goblin dies in part 1, doc.oct drowns in part 2, the sandman dissapers, hob goblin gets killed and venom blows up IN PART 3 which he wasn’t suppose to. anyway im amazed by his coat. he doesn’t have 2 wear EXACTLY what he does in the anime, the clothing designer along with the writer probably wanted him 2 look realistic maybe jus MAde something for him 2 wear in the real world if he realy exsisted. for example: in the X-Men movie wolverine is wearing a dark colored jumpsuit but in the cartoon he’s wearing a yellow and black costume with a black mask on his face, samething with the Green Goblin nd the Hob Goblin in the spiderman movies, niether of them are wearing what they were in the the cartoon, but the movies came out good! right or wrong? so all u people critizing nd attackin this movie all need 2 stop and go to hell cause u obvisouly dont know a damn things about films!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! say whatever yall want but im behind this movie ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM GOIN TO GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE B4 I SAY IF I LIKED IT OR NOT.
Wow … it look a heck of a lot better with the darker color. I guess lighting was an issue in last photo.
Also …..I really want the freakin tight robe he’s wearing
Impressive
the release date for the movie has been moved up …2 days earlier now? wednesday april 8th?..a wednesdayyyy????
piccolo looks so f…..ing badass cant wait for the movie woooooooooooooooooo
Very nice Very Impressed
i like da photos but now all i wanna c is another photo of yamcha
he has no eyebrows and more like a forhead lump,kinda like in dbz =D
pretty cool
those pictures are pretty cool pics! i just know one thing for sure
they may not put krilin in the movie but there would be one or more surprises that’s going to be a shock (positive) and i think one may be piccolo’s real look
Piccolo looks better than i expected him to, damn he doesnt even have to be green anymore now….wonder how he looks when he becomes younger n green….probly badass
King Piccolo looks so freakin’ alwsome!!

I’m going to start wearing hoodies again.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to here James Marsters voice!! He is amazing at changing his voice.

?
Freakin’ awesome!
I can’t wait to see the trailer! I think that this piccolo kicks ass already!!!!!
Actually, this prototype of King Piccolo is exactly like Lord Slug, from the DBZ movies… King Piccolo is much taller and more evil then the Piccolo most know of… I am happy to see these new photos.
@Chibi: Namekians are bug aliens not plants. Most Plants don’t have the regenerative capabilities. Piccolo can regenerate lost limbs of his body, as long as his head is still intact. The name “Namek” is taken from the word namekuji which means “slug” in Japanese. And an interesting side note, Piccolo once ate fish at Goku’s house in an episode. Just thought I would point that out
Man!!! He looks soooooooooooooo COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!
wow…man…this piccolo pics look awesome…love it…
Ting: hehe looks like an apple
I actually like how did Piccolo. He looks like a humanoid alien and not an over the top alien.
Looks like shit.
http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=piccololk1.jpg
damn..he has to be green
@wat
WTF? IT looks fine.

This movie doesn’t look like it does justice to the animated series. . . . Looks like a piece of shit. . . Roshi oden’t even look like his animated counterpart and neither does Piccolo. What a disgrace to a great anime cartoon.
REDHULK80, wtf man hes not human in the movie, he was in a damn jar with no sunlight for years. hes gonna be very pale for a while, thats why hes a light green and gradually gets darker…..fuckin haters. i swear people gotta rag on anything new, like its not cool if its not from like 1992, haha.

*glomps Piccolo*
Piccolo: *sweat drop* wtf…
YOU SEE now thats what he should look like
instead of taking of the hair and giving him a beard they did the complete opposite
ANYWAYS!!! this movie will still be amazing no matter what,it will be added to my favorite movies of all time along with spiderman,starwars and pirates of the caribbean
redhulk why u hatin for its just how these films goes bad villians hides himself while minions do the durty and at the very end hes out of hiding or they find out where hes been hiding big fight looks likes hero gonna lose unleases some hidden power from within beat the bad guy gets the gurl and saves the day u cant possibly think they werent gonna that way? unless u got no common sense i mean i admit its kibda cliche but i like dragonabll so even if some changes were made im still gonna see it

pre-green huh? ok i just hope he really turns “piccolo-green” with the antennae and all before the movie ends.
i just hope this movie doesnt suck and ruin Dragonball’s badass/kickass reputation.
Well i cant believe how positive the comments are. appearently most of the guys and girls here didnt watch db. this whole movie is loosely based on db characters and names. The whole setting of db is gone, the plotline seems to be messed up too. super sayians appear pretty far into dbz and cramming that topic into 1 movie is messed up. im not going to watch this movie, i wont taint my fond memories of db
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: Where did u get that pic of ssj chatwin
Unless he is green as the forest and has antennas, he is not Piccolo. That is not Piccolo, it’s a reject villain from a Blade movie : /
I’m so glad they finally addressed the issue of non green Piccolo and the horrible looking “monster” Goku. Did antone notice Roshi’s shirt? A little pervy eh? Likin’ it. Piccolo needs to be green maybe he becomes greener because he gets younger after all Namekians do change color when they’re older(although they usually get darker but I’m not complaining).
Good glad to see Piccolo will be green maybe he gets younger and regains his regal greenish tint. Be honest the monster Goku is no saiyan. At least they addressed the matter of it being awkward.
LET ME JUST SAY THIS: IF THEY REMOVE THE KAMEHAMEHA WAVE I WILL RIOT LIKE THE VILLAGERS IN FRANKSTEIN.
Power pole better extend is all I’m sayin’ and if they can please hint towards Vegeta towards the end I would be so smitten.
Quick question: Who would’ve loved to see Tien’s Tribeam on the bigscreen?
Boobs! They’re all a bunch of boobs! For not putting Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu in.
I think piccolo look badass
the reason why hes not green because he is old
i agree. towards the end of the movie they should give hints for Vegeta in the next movie or something.
Or they should show gohan being born. that would be cool
@umar: King Piccolo is a dark green color when he’s old.
@Shriveled Member J: Is that you on your avtar? or is that someone eles?
Srsly, guys: WTF? Has ANYONE of you actually seen Dragonball (not Dragonball Z)? Retards.
Y is there an oddly “force” like appearance to Piccolo’s Image
i wanr him to be like dis
dude i cant wait till i see picollo train gohan in DBZ….he beats the fuck outta Gohan haha.
boo!!! This ain’t piccolo!!!!!!!!
This is retarded. Piccolo is supposed to be a Namekian… Namekians are born green… They don’t “turn green” or “get greener” as time goes on. Not to mention that we actually see Piccolo get born green from the anime, when Kami is talking about how he needed to get rid of the evil inside him, and then he spits out Piccolo, fully green…
Why did they decide to make a movie about this? It’s meant to stay in the manga and anime parts of media. Not live-action.
Terrible, very terrible
dudes do you not remember garlic jr. he was locked away in the anime and came out very pale. nameks need water. that is what gives them their green colour. if anything, they’ve tried to make it more like the cartoon. this is dragonball, that piccolo is not the same dude from dbz. and how many times do you have to read HE CHANGES MORE GREEN TOWARDS THE END.
the only thing im not liking so far in this movie is the whole high school thing. i guess it would be hard to change it into db times though and theyve gone for a more realstic approach which i do respect though only time will tell how good it is.
this movie will either have all fans leaving thinking WOW, or it will have fans disspaointed and if that is the case, people may have to see it as just a movie and not a reprisentation of db and dbz.
@REDHULK80: YOU’RE TOTALLY RIGHT
Yea he looks pretty cool, like an evil vampire. I don’t know why people hate on this movie. I think that hate is a means of convaying honesty in its most pureist form. And goku just looks like he has a real burden on his hands trying to save the world, If I could compare and contrast from the anime and the movie id say that the anime version of goku is more of the curious and ambitious mentality, but in this goku is a pussy. but then again im just hating. As for the lord thug ruler piccolo:twisted: , he’s my hobbit b**ch F golem off of world of warcraft. Awsome
Y is there an oddly “force” like appearance to Piccolo’s Image. Because Piccolo is a evil jedi, and goku is that kid from the forbidden kingdom, I guess their just trying to impress the kids 3-10 yrs old. Im sure theyre going to think this is better than pokemon, or yo gi oh.
you know, im not raciest at all, but honestly im glad obama is president, cause he dos’nt make dumb excusses, like, this movie is live action so we must make dramatic changes to the most awsome peice of artistic literature of its time, in order to make it look real. No, not at all, instead he just says yes we can, and saves himself a bunch of typing and writing. For those who agree with this movie and think its going to be pretty good, and see us as haters. Witness the death of one of the most popular animes of its time, downfall in one year. Their are so many things wrong with this movie that I could list the most smallest issue about it, which completely takes all the literary elements that make the cartoon a work of art and completely craps on the artist who created the piece. Goku is in highschool. Its like recreating romeo and juilete and having them in highschool, wich completely undermines the warfare between the two clans as just moms and dads not liking eachother in the pta. but since the movie is more messed up than that, the only thing that can be done is to just scrap the movie. Fox if your listining, I don’t mean to sound bad or distastefull but that is the only option, cause i know you pissed the money down the drain on this one. And were not mad, we know its hard to coordinate things like obama has done, but learn from the mistakes and try harder next time please
p.s im currently a graphic designer/ animation major and really have some great ideas for DBZ and its fight scenes, im awsome at imagining scenaries costumes fight coriagraphy futuristic cityscapes, both cultural cityscapes and American, drawing sequence stories and spoken dialog for characters. Im not lieing either im very good, and maybe you should check out some of my drawings on my myspace @ HakeemHaqq@yahoo.com read about me. I can have all the fans paying us 20 dollars each, after the subtitles of the first movie just to insure the production of a part 2, 3, alternative titles, alter, dimensions and reality of goku 4 and 5 and even gain revanue from the t.v series seen on spike, sci-fi or HBO n cinamax, then cartoon network. I know exactly what the movie should look like and how to please all the fans, but it would requier a complete recast except for bulma. But if not, it doesnt hurt to ask.
pros and cons of the movie. Sceanary’s are pretty good, except for the tumb or temple like place, the schools, the cityscapes. but the landscapes are pretty good. Characters, goku looks like a punk, in cartoon goku was never a punk just a cocky kid. Piccolo looks like some white guy, and if he is just a tint of green that wont change his white guy appearence which is why you should have scripted him and the dialog (the way the character speaks) as a black man, no more vampire stories. db was a futuristic setting, all the lamborginis and atvs just play the plot down. I assure you, if george lucus could do it you could have too. Here comes the plot, goku in highschool fighting against his peers, one this just confirms how much of a punk he is, second the only thing i can relate to this is disney’s highschool musical. Goku is out of school for a reason, that reason being that his existance is more than a preteen sitcom, and the world for that matter. third I noticed that if he is in highschool it would be very hard to incorporate the monkey like attributes, like his tail, again this is part of the cartoon. HOW CAN THEY CALL THIS DB WHEN NOTHING IS CITED FROM DB. ive heard what the other posters said about if i don’t like it I wont have to see it. this is not the case at all. If this movie goes into production the chances of another artist who really grew up with the anime will never have a chance at constructing this cartoon into a live-action piece of work, instead the hype of the cartoon will fade, and the real haters who hated the cartoon from the get go will be confirmed, and rightly so as if this was just some paroady like meet the spartans, and a scary movie. plus I know that fox is trying to extort money for a cheap product, which heartless to say if GM goes out of buisness, I hope fox does to after making this movie.
Hoooo, NOW we’re talking. Piccolo had an evolution here. He’s becoming greener and greener(and the face is changing too). Buut… How about a black eye, huh? And a dark hair for Goku! =D
mark my words: Biggest dissapointment of the year. I do not understand why so many people here are happy with what has been shown about this movie. I can only guess that no one here has seen Dragonball and you are all eleven years old. This movie is too far along. It cannot be saved.
o boy o boy o boy can’t wait to see this, just saw the trailer today and i am already pumped up…. awesome
It looks alright. I didn’t expect too much due to the fact that Hollywood is making it. But it’s bad so that’s cool with me.
Sorry “not bad”
wer is the director so i can slap im for makin piccolo look so gay common now wer da fuk is his antena’s and his real fukin cape peace of shit dragonball is suppose to be the best…i could of done better den this
WOW-OK SERIOUSLY?
ARE YOU GUYS REALLY “HAPPY” WITH THIS? Goku looks like a 30 year old, the costume does not fit the anime, his hair is not like goku’s he looks NOTHING like him! they should have stuck with an asian….
Chi chi-she has a fringe in the anime, she has an oriental outfit on most of the time and most of her hair is tied up.
BULMA HAS A WHOLE HEAD OF BLUE HAIR!!! not one effing streak!
NOT HAPPY NOT HAPPY NOT HAPPY
@kymani:
where’s the trailer?
Ok, 1st off, Piccolo should be wearing a white turban and white cape, i do like that cloak though, 2nd off piccolo is a Namek, an alien that looks nothing like that, 3rd off hes green… very green, 4th off he has 2 antennas on his head. Its like they are taking DragonBall and taking a huge dump on it, flushing it down the toilet, then blowing it up with a nuke, farting on the remains, and calling whats left a movie. Dragon Ball could be an incredible movie, it probly would go far,maybe even to Dragon Ball Z, but from what i’ve seen so far, it looks like it will piss alot of ppl off, and make the show seem like dirt.
now this is darker form of king piccolo
well cool that photo is good
looking forward to the movie 4 month and 16 days till dragonball movie!!……….yay !!
!!!!!!
Okay, Picclo is a plant person. Plants can’t photosynthasize without the sun. If you’ve ever picked up a lawn you have seen the whitish grass underneath it. Plants turn white without the sun. Assuming that not much sunlight could get through the rice cooker it makes sense that he’d be whitish when he escaped. He’d naturaly turn greener as he got more sun.
If any of you really saw Dragon Ball, you know that’ isn’t Piccolo, 1 The outfit is horrible, the real one it’s nothing like that. 2 Piccolo always was green, he didn’t envolve his color throughout the anime. Piccolo has antennas -.-’
Another good serie ruined by hollywood
And Piccolo is NOT a plant person… he isn’t a person ¬¬ . He is from Namekusei… did any of you ever see the anime? He is not green by the sun, he is not superman -.-’
well ya but this is king piccolo were talking about though the other piccolo is greener yes in dbz piccolo has a diffrent uniform so ya
I just threw up from seeing these pics. If you are still excited to see this movie after seeing all of this crap, then I feel sorry for you.
what the hell are you guys talking about!?
anyone saying they like how piccolo looks clearly hasn’t seen the series (come on have you EVER seen DBZ?)
piccolo is not a human, he’s an alien from namek! meaning he’s always been green, this whole evolution thing is a really crappy idea
and another thing, bulma’s hair is green, not brown! this is not a live-action realization of DBZ, it’s just some crappy hollywood remake
trust me when I say this movie’s gonna suck
they’ve deviated so much from the series that it may as well be its own movie altogether and not be tied to DBZ
@jordan:
we know the piccolo in dragonball is not the same as dragonball z but guess what, he’s still a NAMEK, JUST LIKE THE PICCOLO IN DBZ!!
missing water wouldn’t make him go pale and turn him into a human (which is what they did)
quit trying to make excuses for this crappy film
@dannydoom:
gohan’s probably not gonna be in there
if goku has a child in this movie the kid’s name will probably be trunks, and vegeta will be goku’s long lost step-brother
none of that would surprise me at this point
@Craig:
you’ve never actually seen the series have you?
@SSJ4Pikachu:
yup, you’ve never seen the series just like most of these people lol
@ec:
he’s not meant to be pre-green
they completely screwed with his character
@pj:
enjoy wasting your money
@Julio Romero: @frsh:
people who insult others are only insuting themselves
@Cody:
master roshi is bald last time I checked
hey dbzfan i dont got that much money dude i am hoping my mom or dad takes me iam 11 yrs old
and chi chi never used a gun -.-’
ya i know
not usaly did chichi use a gun
so what they made some changes
@Craig: dude… his head is freakin sweet.
Like wtf picollo is white. seriously. over 9000.
Any1 who says this movie looks good is a total retard.(I’m not insulting myself dbzfan. I’m insulting others. Like you genius!) Piccolo looks AWEFUL! This movie is nothing like the manga or the anime. They’ve not kept to the source matiral. Plus Goku should NOT be a WHITE GUY! He should be ASIAN! It’s like making superman asian. It’s just stupid and doesn’t work. They should get a room fool of hardcore fans and ask them what they think. This movie will suck & bomb. God willing. This movie should have be made 5 years ago.
PICCOLO LOOKS LIKE EMPEROR PALPATINE!!!!
what is wrong with you mathew you dont see goku asian the amie db,dbz,dbgt cartoon well ya db the magic begins goku was asian ok but not in this movie ok! and piccolo for a db live movie look good for the movie sure does not have ententes on his head who cares such it up.
this i like this look so awsome
ya i know
I’m looking forward to this movie
The color green is not like this. And Piccolo’s get up is tight in the cartoon, this one looks like hes european or something.
who cares theres always gonna be changes in a movie based on a anime cartoon live with it why should you care the only thing i am angry about in the movie is great ape goku they could of put the person who dressed up as king kong so anyway..who cares about how king piccolo looks like. they try so give them a little credit for making a movie based on db. and shut up.
everybody can make a movie but they mess up a little who cares
Dragonball=Movie
Dragonball=Anime
Even if this movie is terrible (which it won’t be) that will not Effect the anime… Haters are so Stupid. They can’t even give this a Chance!
why didnt they make a movie of dbz with all the guys like krillin and ghohan and vageta trunks
that would be cool
and i hate it that piccolo is not green how if u make a movie then make the same like it was on tv or you just cant make a movie ,, and btw since when is mister roshi a china boy lol and wth goku on school when did u see that on tv i never i only saw that gohan went to school.well i gonna look the movie but its not how it must be
. greetz;)
What makes me upset is his whole race is green, there’s no “pre-green” I think that this movie could be another one of those “Director’s interpretations” meaning it’s made how they think it should have been made but not so much as how it’s actually supposed to be.
give the people who tried to do this respect what did you guys see the movie yet?! no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so why don`t you people shut up and suck it up ok give them a little credit for trying geese SUCK IT UP PEOPLE !
gunbladefighter the reason why is because vegeta trunks gohan are not in dragonball but in dragonballz gohan trunks vegeta are in. so ya
@pj:
dude…how old are you? (like 11?) and are you serious?
they didn’t just make little changes here and there, they completely scrapped the source material, and yes king piccolo does make a huge difference because, for one, piccolo is green, he comes from a race of GREEN people with ANTENNAES, I don’t know why your head is so thick that you can’t understand why the live-action version deviates completely from the manga/anime, it does make a huge difference, this isn’t just another live-action movie adaption of an anime with minor changes
it’s insulting to the source material (which I’m not even sure they studied) it’s a disapointment to the fans and you sir obviously do not know anything about dragonball
I can’t give these people any credit because they could have easily made it like the show, the way it’s meant to be, I mean my point is it’s not like dragonball at all and too much is different to consider it so, not even the trailer, it looked like just another kung fu flick, totally didn’t have the vibe of the show or anything, it wouldn’t be hard for them to make it just like the show, they put much more effort even into making it UNlike the show
I don’t get where you’re coming from or what you smoke pj, this movie’s gonna suck, hopefully in 10 year’s time someone will make up for it and do the same for spiderman as well
THE END
That looks NOTHING like James Marsters lol…. he looks so… freaky….
And I hope to god he gets greener…
Okay…so does he transform or not because it looked like he stays green throughout the movie in the trailer…
I totally agree with Mathew and dbzfan. This movie sucks! Maybe it will have the best visual effects, maybe Piccolo looks cool…but who cares about that?! Piccolo has to be green always! Goku goes to school from what i’ve heard…jajajaja…c’mon. They added too many cliches from hollywood…
They never come right out and say that namecks are plant people…. BUT they DO live on a world with THREE suns.. and dont really need to eat solid food un less they have to.. Dende gives Gohan, Krillin and Bulma a break down of this at one point where they first meet.
So im assuming they are some kind of instect or bug or, mollusk aliens that have the ablitiy to photo synthaize food.. if they choos to.. or like our friend Piccolo does, eat solid food on occasion.
That being said..
i agreed with most of the other people here that have said this.. you stick a plant or a thing that has cloraphyill in it in the dark and guess what.. they turn yellow…
Being as how our buddy here was stuck in a prayer urn for 2000 years.. he didnt have a chance to do either.. eat or photosyntasize in which case.. poor dude’s gonna be yellow.
He gets greener as time goes on.. look at some of the other picks.
so.. chill alreay
its gonna be a cool flick.
give it half a chance.
