What the Dragonball Evolution Sequels are going to be about?
I Honestly don't know but I think the 2nd one will be about the Freiza Saga

[MajinObaDBZ]

Maybe not the Frieza Saga. Maybe the Saiyan Saga first. Or maybe they will screw it up again and make Vegeta become a businessman lol.

[TimeMachine]

Either way it seems it's destined to be horrible.

[Lloyd Irving]

It's going to have Raditz in it I believe.

[RocShemp]

It will most likely be Raditz. Or perhaps they'll merge Raditz with Vegeta. Not necessarily make him and Goku brothers but follow the overall Raditz story with Vegeta instead and have him survive thus leading up to Frieza much more quickly.

[Ochigun-Kun]

i think that would be when the saiyans arrive but they proberly will not show Raditz i think they will just go ahead and send vegeta and Nappa then what what happen to the rest of the z fighters like tien and krillin?
they will proberly met then as the movie goes and yet if they still make sequels of DBZ will they show when goku turns to SSJ?
well i have questions more then i have answers

[ewok]

It's most likely not any of those. It's still dragonball not Dragonball Z. And dude, There is no krillen.

[Konohafire]

I really think it will start out the saiyan saga and then just move upt o Freiza saga.

[stevegretzky]

Well they were saying a long time ago that Goku's death would be the beginning of the sequel. DBE's plot renders the possibility of a Goku/Piccolo tagteam on Raditz unlikely, since Piccolo has been working with Saiyans all along and would rather help them eradicate the earth than save it.

Perhaps it will begin with a fight to the death between Goku and Piccolo, killing them both. As he's dying, Piccolo sends out a distress call for a Saiyan to come exact his revenge on the Earth. Vegeta recieves this call and heads out to take care of business. Meanwhile, Mai makes a clone of Piccolo to continue his legacy, and that's where Piccolo Jr comes from. Goku learns from his dead Grandpa of an impending threat even greater than Piccolo and sets off for training with King Kai. Vegeta shows up and does battle with Mahjunior, who unlike daddy prefers the earth be kept in one piece. Vegeta pwns, and just as all seems lost Bulma and Roshi and such show up with the dragonballs and resurrect Goku. Epic battle ensues, Goku wins but spares Vegeta.

Of course, this presents the problem of how Mai survived the first film, but I still think this track meshes well.

[GINOADAMS]

i was reading on perezhilton.com that they was going to be making another one is that truth? or have they stop making them?

[stevegretzky]

Nobody knows for sure. I think Marsters and Chatwin have both said there will be a sequel, but we have yet to hear anything official.

[GINOADAMS]

well i hope they do bc i really did like DBE

[ratio]

I doubt they will aproach Z yet.

[Konohafire]

They have to aproach it.They're probably only going to make 3 or 4 other films.They're is no time to be drawing it out.

[Jostru]

Well, with the many unexplained things and not introduced characters like Krillin and Tien, I'd say they need to do another movie about Piccolo. Maybe have him actually get his wish this time and introduce Krillin, Tien and Kami. It would explain a lot. After that you can think about Saiyan saga and Frieza movies, but not before a few mistakes from DBE are set right. Oh and have a Space ship fly through space in an after credits scene. It would please the fans to know that we're finally getting Saiyans.

[Harlan Phoenix]

I actually really like this.

Although I got the impression Piccolo was of a higher social class than the Saiyans, seeing as Oozaru was his disciple.

Thnx :D

Right you are, but that wouldn't be too terribly difficult to fix.

[Chronosxs]

Surprised they're even going to attempt sequels before correcting the mistake known as the first one.

[RocShemp]

The sequel is the attempt at correcting said mistakes. I'm glad to see filmmakers backing up their creations and taking the opportunity to make their sequels better instead of the "do-over" crutch that reboots are becoming.

[Harlan Phoenix]

Thnx :D

Right you are, but that wouldn't be too terribly difficult to fix.

I suppose not. It'd be interesting to see, if anything.

[RocShemp]

Cool idea, stevegretzky. When I was thinking of how I'd do a sequel, I figured Raditz would be the best way to go since I disagree with fans that feel that the sequel should be a total about face and feature every single character in the series with equel screentime. They forget the Spider-Man 3 fiasco. You can't cram so much into one movie.

Your hook with Goku and Piccolo dead is nice and simple (exactly what an action movie needs) and has enough in it to have the characters develop nicely.

[Typhlosion12]

Maybe have him actually get his wish this time and introduce Krillin, Tien and Kami. It would explain a lot.

They could do a prologue

[RocShemp]

If you must have those characters in it, I'd leave Tien and a few others as cameos for now. Let me tell you how I'd do it but keep in mind that although I'm going to type a lot, what I'll mention wouldn't even be long enough to serve as a treatment. I make a point of that because people are often shocked to see how long a treatment for a movie really is (they usually think it's a one page summary).

Anyhow, here's how I'd do it:

I think a sequel can be made that's more in keeping with the series but doesn't dwell on the alterations to the source material as found in Dragonball Evolution. By this I mean to say that it shouldn't be about ignoring what's been established but rather building on it while also adding new twists on what's already been established.

As to the beginning part two, since Piccolo survived the previous film, you can have the first few minutes focus on him. He's healed of his injuries and spares the woman who tended to him. But keep the reason ambiguous. He may or may not intend to kill her when "something" draws his attention. He seeks out a strange power and is surprised to find that its source is a Saiyan, Raditz. Raditz has been drawn to Earth because his ship picked up a strange power reading coming from the normally ignored planet. This power source can at first be the Dragon Balls “reawakening”. (I’d do some minute futzing with how the Dragon Balls work only because I view this as an Elseworlds of sorts. To me the true literal adaptation of DB/DBZ is the animated series and even that added its own “color” to the mix.).

Since the Piccolo of the DB:E continuity once controlled Saiyans, he assumes he can do the same with Raditz. Much to Piccolo's surprise not only have his powers greatly diminished since his imprisonment but also Saiyans have grown mightier and Raditz does not succumb to Piccolo's will. A brief but vicious fight ensues (a teaser of things to come) and Piccolo is buried under a mountain that is leveled as Raditz sent him crashing into it.

We later see Goku, much more confident in himself and comfortable with his place in the world since his defeat of Piccolo, participating at the World Martial Arts Tournament in order to hone his skills and test himself against the best fighters on the planet. All the while Roshi continues Goku’s training.

Chi Chi is there as well as both Goku’s girlfriend and rival competitor but no artificial relationship drama in sight. They’re happy and they should be kept that way. She does bring up the fact that her father would like to meet him. Goku is all for it and is rather oblivious to Chi Chi’s apprehension towards Goku meeting her father.

Midway through the story we find out Chi Chi's dad is a champion fighter that went by the name of the Ox King. Let's just say he takes a shine to Goku once he realizes how much ass the boy can kick. But I'm getting ahead of myself...

There’s mention of Bulma and Yamcha away scouting for Dragon Balls while Goku, Roshi, and Chi Chi are at the tournament. Someone makes a throwaway comment about friction between Yamcha and Bulma (setting up an eventual breakup around the time of the third movie when Vegeta would make his appearance).

During their stay at the tournament, Roshi wears a cheesy disguise that is reminiscent of Pai Mei but with a pair of sunglasses (either that or he can go for a full manga Roshi homage but I think that would add insult to injury) and goes by the alias of Jackie Chun. This is done in order to avoid several debtors that are after him. Sure, he can take them on but he’d rather not be bothered by everyone else he owes money (practically everyone competing in the tournament). It’s a convenience issue. Not one of fear.

A young competitor, around Goku’s age, sees through the disguise. This is Krillin. He’s eager to become Roshi’s newest student. He demonstrates his ability but Roshi isn’t quite convinced. But Krillin has one ace up his sleeve: a box practically bursting with all sorts of dirty magazines. Roshi says something shallow yet solemn sounding about being impressed with how Krillin had the foresight to study his target before making his approach and accepts Krillin as his student. Goku is amused and the friendliest of rivalries develops between both of Roshi’s pupils.

During the tournament we see several cameos (I can't stress that word enough) including Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu. Here we also meet one Mr. Hercules “Hercule” Satan.

At this point we would cut briefly to Bulma and Yamcha. Since the Dragon Balls have been “dormant” her DBE Locator has proved useless. They choose to use the downtime to scour the land for all manner of legends surrounding the Dragon Balls, which leads them to an ancient monastery they learned of from Sifu Norris. Here we’d have setup regarding how the Dragon Balls came to be and talk of a strange chronicle written by a monk who claimed to have learned the story of Piccolo from Piccolo himself. What’s odd is that he seems to refer to Piccolo as Kaiou Sama. Of course, as remarks one of the monks that keeps all these ancient scrolls, it doesn’t make sense that Piccolo would ever tell his tale to anyone nor let them live.

Back at the tournament, some exciting (albeit brief) matches take place, which help hint at future rivalries and eventual friendships. That is until Raditz crashes the party. He was drawn away from his search when he sensed Goku. He’s intrigued, takes on all comers, and challenges Goku. Even though Goku does much better than Piccolo did earlier, the outcome is still the same.

Raditz is rather disappointed. He expected more from what he recognizes to be a fellow Saiyan. He decides Goku is a waste of his time and he goes on to search for that strange power (the Dragon Balls).

And there you have your setup for part two. Believe it or not, that really would only amount to 30 minutes at the most, as long as exposition is accompanied by action. (In order to understand what I mean, observe the scene in The Terminator when Kyle first informs Sarah of what's going on. The movie never halts to deliver exposition. The action keeps going as we are receiving exposition.)

Obviously Piccolo is still very much alive. He forms a reluctant alliance with Goku. Yamcha and Bulma learn how exactly Piccolo came to be. Goku learns of his heritage. There's a huge showdown at the end, culminating in a cliffhanger. This would be to set up the arrival of Vegeta, Nappa, and the other fellow whose name escapes me at the moment, in part three. Frieza would make his debut in part four.

That's basically how I would handle it. It'd be a gradual progression from the first rather than a sudden shift of style and focus.

Yes, I took a lot of liberties there but I figure you can both be boring and paint by numbers or you can use your own colors and occasionally color outside of the lines.

[dbrockz_95]

Really after such a disaster they're gonna make a sequel. They really got guts.

[Shinigami King]

i see fox is just as peresistent as ever

[jothesh2]

I agree! I thought the movie was horrible.
I thought it was waay to rushed.
Instead of a sequel a remake should be made.

[Shinigami King]

Exactly in fact it should be animated and if there is a sequel they better put krillin in it

[Sean]

What's the point? We already have the anime, hence, animation.

[elite_8_wolf]

DBE Sequel would be AMAZING. People often tend to reject the unfamiliar. I agree, DBE was incredibly rushed and had plot holes out the ass. However, just because it doesn't follow the manga and anime exactly is not a reason to hate on it. It's a new continuity.

[Sean]

Like others have said the more they watch it the better it gets. Same with me, but that's probably and only because I don't point out all the flaws. I watch it as a regular, not over looked film. I guess it's a good movie in it's own; stupid little world...

[elite_8_wolf]

I'm disappointed in you Sean, I often wondered what you thought of it...now I know. And knowing is half the battle!

[Sean]

I'm disappointed in you Sean, I often wondered what you thought of it...now I know. And knowing is half the battle!

Really? I pretty much explained it exactly the same on Adam's forum. Guess you didn't read it, ehh?

[elite_8_wolf]

Really? I pretty much explained it exactly the same on Adam's forum. Guess you didn't read it, ehh?

lol I guess I missed that one. You DID disappear afterwards though, so you can't blame me if I did ;)

[Sean]

It's not my fault! lol
Okay maybe it is but can you really blame me? I lost all interest of the Forum after the movie shattered my expectations, anyway we're going way off topic here.

[elite_8_wolf]

Pff, as long as we are discussing DBE, I say it's fine.


DBE 2 will be awesome

[Sean]

DBE 2 will be awesome

That's still a BIG "if" And I doubt it's going to happen, most sequels are confirmed only after a few weeks of it's release in theaters. I'd say with the mild success at the box office and lack of interested viewers, it's just not gonna happen. But who knows? Fox is unpredictable.

[elite_8_wolf]

If it isn't made...meh. I can speculate.

[The Bat-man]

I think 20th Century Fox is a pretty good film studio. Just beacuse they didn't dp what you wanted for a Dragonball is no reason to whine. But yes they could have done it better, could have done worse too.......

[Sean]

Um...no, 20th Century Fox is one of (if not) the worse movie studio(s) in the U.S. They butcher just about every genre of movie there is to butcher.

[Ochigun-Kun]

a second part would be ok i have just to say that if they do a DBE 2 that they make sence of the plotting of the movie and not to rush it

[Kaypain]

I don't know, DBE was major let down...

but my curiosity is over-shadowing my dismissal

With that sad I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sequel only this time I wouldn't have high expectations. I know now, how cheap the movies will be made if any.

[SolarTiger]

I doubt we get one, we haven't had any confirmation and it's been months since the movie has come out. But if we do, I bet it would be a straight to DVD movie.

[Shinobi Sasuke]

most likely wont happen!
