I made a Live-action movie poster of Dragon Ball Z using AI-generated images and Photoshop.
This is a fan art. I also hope this legendary manga to be made into a live-action movie. Rather than filming an actor's acting, I think we need CG that cannot be distinguished from the actual situation. Like Avatar and Alita : Battle Angel, for example.
Frieza remains one of the most terrifying villain in my memory. I rarely saw Dragon Ball Z on the air to attend the academy on time, but I don't know if this Frieza, who appeared in his spare time, was a man or a woman, and I was really scared to see a huge force coming out of his fingers.
And as we'll find out later, Frieza is obviously a villain, but he's quite gentle and funny. Decades later, many people were reevaluating Frieza (such as using honorifics for subordinates and enemies) It is hoped that in order for today's growing children to be able to see Dragon Ball again, one day they will have to expand to other media or remake it.

Ginyu's Body Swap Ability and the Convoluted Convenience of It
So, we pretty much get the gist of Captain Ginyu's iconic ability- he calls out "change now!" and fires off a beam that, when it makes contact with another being, the two swap their souls between each others bodies.
But, I've noticed that the key crux to this ability is the calling out of the activation phrase. Seemingly so with most techniques, unknown if it's just for the flair of the franchise, but Ginyu's is one that is most obviously hinged on the ability to speak. This is why frog Ginyu turns tail after getting trapped in that body instead of trying to bounce back.
Two loopholes we see in the series are what could be considered filler, so take with a grain of salt.
First, we have the Bulma-Ginyu filler during the Frieza fight that DBZ Kai just couldn't remove. Bulma finds frog Ginyu and gets her body snatched for a time after, out of boredom, she invents a frog translation collar. We can assume through all this time, Ginyu's trying to say "change now!", but it comes out as little croaks in his frog body. His technique only works on Bulma once the collar translates the phrase in audio. This poses two possibilities of how this works:
a) "Change now!" needs to be spoken in its original Galactic Basic tongue in order to work.
or b) "Change now!" needs to be understood by the swap target.
If b, maybe Ginyu was experimenting with what he could swap with. He could swap with fellow frogs, which accomplishes nothing, but the frustration comes in when he finally meets one of the few sapients still alive on the planet and he can't swap with her.
Second, in the Dragon Ball Super version of Resurrection F (not the movie, as Tagoma gets chucked out the airlock roughly fifteen minutes into that version and still makes it onto the movie poster), we find out that Namekian frogs are surprisingly durable. Ginyu was transported off Namek with the Dragon Ball wish in the Frieza saga and has been soldiering on for this very moment. He manages to get swapped into Tagoma's body by writing out "change now!" in the sand in front of him, prompting Tagoma to read it aloud.
Huh?
Ginyu doesn't even say "change now!"; Tagoma does. At least with the Bulma scenario, it was a translation of his own voice, not a whole other person. As far as we know, Tagoma does not know the body swap technique, which makes his fate all the more tragic because, once Ginyu dies, there's no amount of loopholes that are going to get him out of that frog and his only choice is to wait for the frog body to croak (badum-tss). Anyhow, with that in mind... how does the technique trigger?
The only convoluted possibility I can come up with hinges on option b in the previous scenario:
Frog Ginyu croaks "change now!" in frog-tongue, which cannot be understood and doesn't work.
Frog Ginyu writes out "change now!" so Tagoma can read it.
Tagoma reads it aloud solely for audience benefit.
The writing causes Tagoma to understand the croak as meaning "change now!". This croak is now the same as "change now!" to Tagoma, so the ability can activate and snatch his body.
Sounds like overcomplicated BS right? I know it does!

WHO IS VEGETA?
hi friends! this is a quick run-down on the character vegeta, in case you aren't very familiar with him outside of screaming power dudes. this is all canonical info--check out my about + posts for hcs!
vegeta is the prince of the saiyan race. who are the saiyans? well, they were an elite class of alien warriors who had a passion for conquering. think of them a little like space vikings.
and where are they now? dead as can be! vegeta is the last full-blooded survivor of his royal lineage, with his father dying with their people. his planet was blown up by the entity known as frieza who he would go on to unfortunately serve for many, many years. his planet and people died when he was five.
what IS a saiyan, though? as aforementioned, they were a warrior race! specifically, they are a strange sort of humanoid alien capable of using a planet's moon(s) to transform into great apes and more efficiently fuck up the places they're invading. when they aren't giant murder monkeys, they are perfectly human, but with a fluffy monkey's tail! every time they heal from battle, they grow stronger, because idk warrior stuff. they are capable of flight, superhuman strength, superhuman speed, and can channel their energy into physical blasts capable of exploding planets.
and frieza...? vegeta worked under frieza, a glorified evil space realtor, under the pretense of being taken in due to his planet being struck and destroyed by a meteor. he was a child, so he did not know any better, but frieza was the actual reason for the planet's destruction. vegeta worked under him until his approximate mid-twenties, when the events of dbz occurred, clearing out planets to sell, and slowly gathering his strength to try and one day be free of frieza.
post-frieza? after getting killed by frieza (but being brought back by the infinite-life-giving dragon balls bcuz death is only permanent if u don't believe hard enough), vegeta goes through a whole manga's worth of a redemption cycle. he is the poster boy for just... being redeemed by existing. he is a grumpy, angry man with a lot of unresolved trauma who eventually finds a family and peace on earth, but ONLY after a lot of murder. so much murder. and an intense definitely-not-gay rivalry with goku self-imposed and made to last by vegeta.
also he's rly short. he's 5'5". a tiny man, full of tiny man rage. he has a history of breaking in the faces and kneecaps of people who underestimate him for it.

So, my "brain, here's a task, please shut up" hyperfocus is organizing my Plex server, to be *just right* especially because I have so many fan edits and recuts and alternate orders and all of that, not to mention an Audio Drama library, which doesn't have a metadata agent of any sort, so I have to invent all of it.
One of my favorite projects, is my longest running one, and I finally finished it this week.
I call it "Dragon Ball Kai Ultimate". It's Dragon Ball Z Kai, but with faulconer music using @KaiFaulconerProject (on youtube)'s fantastic fan edit.
It's split into Arcs for the seasons, and it also includes anime-only arcs.
So it has Saiyan, Namek, Frieza sagas, but then also has the Garlic Jr. Saga, before going back to the Trunks saga.
Then, it includes the most important episode in the entire show, Goku's Ordeal, before going into Android, Imperfect Cell, and Cell Games, then brings in the Otherworld Arc, and then finishes out the series with Saiyaman, World Tournament, Majin Buu and Kid Buu.
Getting all the metadata and posters and all of that done just right, and frozen forever in an .nfo file via tiny media manager has taken a lot of effort, and several times I've almost been done, but then had to blow up my Plex server for some reason or another, and start all over.
So now that I've gotten it fixed up, I've been watching it, and it has been a wonderful 54 episodes so far.
But tonight, I started the Garlic Jr. Saga, and, uh, I shoulda just skipped it.
It is as bad as everyone says, and my nostalgia blinded me.

Dragon Ball is such a unique and interesting series to me. Even if you're only so familiar with it, it's more than likely affected or influenced you in a greater way than you realize. You could know absolutely nothing about Goku, but if someone showed you Goku, you'd know it was Goku. He has a distinct personality, distinct skills, a distinct silhouette. You recognize him even if you don't know him.
I was both a 90s and a 2000s kid, not really a Millennial but not really Gen Z. Right on the cusp of both. So when the mainstream American anime boom kicked off around that time, I was Team Sailor Moon. Of course I was; they were pretty like my Barbie dolls, but unlike Barbie, they got to beat the shit out of evildoers, and I LOVED it.
But as much as that show occupied my attention, I couldn't pretend that Dragon Ball Z didn't catch my eye on some level.
youtube
When I did manage to catch it on Toonami, I couldn't look away. I'd never seen such intense action scenes before. And even if I felt like things dragged on sometimes, when things got good, they got GOOD. I wouldn't have called myself a DBZ fan at the time, but I still understood the hype behind Vegeta, Frieza, Super Saiyan Goku, Future Trunks, the Androids, Perfect Cell, Majin Buu, Gotenks...all of it. I remember my older cousins were really into Dragon Ball Z. One of them had a black and white poster on their bedroom wall with all the Z Fighters. I remember when they would play with me, they'd pretend they were going to fire a Kamehameha at me, and I'd giggle with excitement because they sounded just like Goku.
The show's impact was not lost on American media; you can open YouTube, type "dragon ball references in tv shows" and see for yourself. And that's just in America; Dragon Ball has a massive presence in cultures across the globe, and back in Japan, it was turning out to be a strong influence on the likes of One Piece, Bleach, and shounen manga/anime as a genre.
Growing up as a Sonic fan in the early 2000s, I cannot understate the influence that DBZ had not just on the Sonic series itself, but on Sonic fan content in particular. I'm talking countless videos of Sonic X clips set to audio from DBZ, with Sonic as Goku and Shadow as Vegeta. All the fan art and sprite art of Sonic going Super Saiyan 3. One of the most widely-known fan projects in the community is the Newgrounds animation Nazo Unleashed; animator Chakra-X (who was in high school when he made this thing!!!) took an unused design for Super Sonic that showed up for 3 seconds in the first Sonic X trailer...
...and, influenced by DBZ villains, permanently altered how most people perceive this design: not as a scrapped Sonic transformation, but as his own unforgettable villain. It didn't matter that Nazo wasn't canon, all we cared about was the jaw-dropping Dragon Ball-style fight scenes that Chakra-X gave us. I highly suggest you watch Nazo Unleashed on YouTube if you've never seen it before, it's an awesome piece of fandom history.
(Also quick shoutout to Edwyn Tiong, his performance as Nazo absolutely gave Perfect Cell energy)
And as seen with games like Sonic Frontiers, and characters like Surge and Kit who (as it turns out, unintentionally!!) parallel the Androids, that influence carries on to this day.
Look at the first boss fight from Sonic Frontiers.
youtube
Look at this. Look at this and tell me this doesn't scream Dragon Ball.
The DBZ energy radiating from these boss fights was so hype that people started taking clips from DRAGON BALL ITSELF and setting them to the soundtrack!!! A complete 180 from what people were doing on YouTube in 2008!!
youtube
And this is just the influence of Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Dr. Slump, Chrono Trigger, or any of Akira Toriyama's other works to do them justice. All I can really say is that Toriyama went from writing gag manga to inventing modern shounen action tropes without even intending to. We've lost a genuine legend. But to quote the opening of DBZ Kai: "Nothing ever dies. We will rise again."
Rest in peace, Toriyama-san. Yours is a legacy that no one will ever forget, whether they know your name or not. And one of these days, when I'm able to sit down and properly watch through all of Dragon Ball, I'll be thinking of you and what we have because of you.
Thank you for everything.

Contrastes
Este é seguramente um filme diferente. Não será para todos os gostos mas não deixa, ainda assim, de manifestar inquestionáveis virtudes.
Uma ideia simples, explorada ao limite e que, no essencial, resulta, ainda que possamos questionar se não terá sido esticada em demasia. Seria uma curta ou média metragem perfeita. Ficou uma longa metragem excessiva, repetitiva e por vezes monótona.
No entanto há dois aspectos positivos a destacar nesta obra. Por um lado o aspecto documental. É uma cápsula do tempo, que preservou hora e meia da realidade quotidiana da cidade de Nova Iorque, nos anos setenta. Não um simples olhar fugidio, ou uma ficção, com a cidade de fundo, isso seria banal. Aqui temos a cidade verdadeira, as ruas vazias da madrugada, a vida no metropolitano, nas esquinas vazias, onde a vida passa tranquila e nas cheias, onde a azáfama impera. É um pedaço da realidade, de vida quotidiana da cidade e dos seus habitantes, que é arrancada ao passado e legada à posteridade. Algo que toca fundo, na alma do espectador (pelo menos na deste, que fui).
Por outro lado o contraste, entre a riqueza humana e sentimental das cartas lidas, monótonas e banais na forma, mas plenas de vida e de sentir, e a frieza anónima das ruas, dos carros, das gentes sem nome, que enchem o ecrã, mas são completos desconhecidos, mostram uma solidão de exílio, onde o bulício urbano supera a monotonia do discurso indireto.
Enfim, é um filme de uma jovem cineasta que, com poucos meios e alguma imaginação, conseguiu captar, em filme, um período importante da sua vida, exprimindo em silêncios e palavras repetitivas e banais, as contradições que lhe enchiam a alma de emigrante e a curiosidade, própria da juventude.
Contrasts
This is certainly a different movie. It won't be for everyone's taste, but it still manifests unquestionable virtues.
A simple idea, explored to the limit and which, in essence, works, although we can question whether it has not been stretched too far. It would be a perfect short or medium length film. It was an excessive, repetitive and sometimes monotonous feature film.
However, there are two positive aspects to highlight in this work. On the one hand the documentary aspect. It is a time capsule, which has preserved an hour and a half of the daily reality of New York City in the seventies. Not a simple fleeting glance, or a fiction, with the city in the background, that would be banal. Here we have the real city, the empty streets at dawn, life on the subway, in the empty corners, where life passes peacefully, in the ones full of people, where the hustle reigns. It is a piece of reality, of the daily life of the city and its inhabitants,. It is a piece of reality, of the daily life of the city and its inhabitants, which is ripped from the past and bequeathed to posterity. Something that touches deeply, in the soul of the spectator (at least in this one, which I was).
On the other hand, the contrast between the human and sentimental richness of the letters read, monotonous and banal in form, but full of life and feeling, and the anonymous coldness of the streets, the cars, the nameless people that fill the screen, but are complete strangers, it shows a solitude of exile, where the urban hustle overcomes the monotony of the indirect discourse.
Finally, it is a film by a young filmmaker who, with little means and some imagination, managed to capture, on film, an important period of her life, expressing in repetitive and banal silences and words, the contradictions that filled her soul as an emigrant and her curiosity, typical of youth.

Just for posterity regarding the heights.
*insert funny image of Free Bird and Akira mad dogging each other like this*
And yes, Free Bird is Goku here. It isn't even that much of a height difference. Free Bird just hadls better posture and taller shoes than Akira.
OK but this is extra funny to me because Frieza shares his JP voice actor with Dr. Livingstill-
So this is ten flavors of perfect dynamic and ironic.

So, as far as I know "incel" wasn't really a thing in the 90s when the books were published so this one always confuses me because it's not like there were known "incel" red flags or characteristics JKR would have had on hand to write into Snape's character if her aim had been to create a problematic male allegory for incels and their philosophies.
Of course predatory men have always been in the conscience of women. It's something little girls have to learn about at a very young age. The problem is that a lot of the canon material I've seen pointed to as evidence of Snape being an incel doesn't hold up to any real scrutiny.
Particularly troubling to me out of those is the scene of a very young child Snape first meeting Lily. I find more to be concerned with in the fan interpretation and what people are seeing to assign any sort of sexual connotations to the actions of a nine-year-old-boy than I do Snape's actions there.
There's also the whole complicated matter of the villain tropes JKR threw at Snape to try to throw readers off to where his allegiances were. Unsurprisingly a lot of those come from a tradition of fiction stereotyping marginalized and casting us as the villain.
So while I know that isn't the intention of a lot of the "Snape is an incel" posters, I have to wonder how much of their reaching to ascribe this characteristic to Snape of the "the hypersexual, aggressively predatory male" isn't also a case of them unconsciously reacting to those tropes and their complicated relationship to racial, ethnic, and lgbtqa+ groups being portrayed as deviant and connecting-dots without very much critical-thinking about why Snape as he is written triggers that kind of revulsion and easy rejection of anything other than predatory, deviancy.
So many members of the lgbtqa+ community and people of color are used to seeing themselves written into villain tropes in popular fiction and cast as hyper-aggressive, more primal or deviant and predatory. I mean, just about every Disney villain from the 90s into the 00s drew heavily from queer stereotypes or tropes. In popular anime/cartoons we have the likes of Pegasus from YuGiOh, Jesse and James from Pokemon, or Frieza, Zarbon, and Cell in Dragon Ball Z or even General Blue in classic Dragon Ball and HIM from the Powerpuff Girls.
Probably every 80-90s kid that grew up watching anime and cartoons learned the general rule of: If the character has a fancy sounding accent, a large vocabulary and they're flamboyant they're going to be the villain. Then we have characters like Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights who is basically a dark skinned man described as driven by his wild, primal passions that refuse to be tamed and he's made dangerous and sometimes violent because of it.
Lgbtqa+ people and people of color are often sexualized in fiction but not in a good way, it's always evidence of our deviance and danger and a warning to white/straight readers why they should stay away.
The tropes JKR used are basically the same ones writers before her used and built up on a tradition of white people don't trust "x group" and here's why but written into fiction in inexplicit ways that are more sinister for being subtle.
So when I see Snape being sexualized even as young as nine by some of the "Snape is an incel" people I have to wonder if those tropes are not partly influencing it and people unconsciously pick up off them and carry them to the conclusion they have always been led to associate with those tropes. That this character being so strongly telegraphed by JKR as part of that "other" is one we should all be wary of because he must be some kind of predatory villain on the prowl.
They read Snape as a child and don't see a child. They read him as a teenager and don't see how Lily's friendship with him could have been mutual and she ends up cast as the victim. Another middle-class white woman being preyed on by the deviant.
I do at least think this could be some of the problem. I also think some of the "Snape is an incel" posters may not have very much firsthand experience with these kind of men and have only read the conversations about the most surface-level behaviors to watch for which they connect to Snape without really understanding how they fall apart under any real scrutiny (especially if the real agenda is more driven by our pack mentality tendencies and want to divide ourselves into clearly delineated factions, so because they're "team Marauders" they need to validate why in a way that also seems to signal their values as a group and as individuals and making Snape into an incel makes that very convenient because ha! he's problematic and our favorite characters/ships aren't we win!).
There may also be some who HAVE had very bad experiences with these kind of men and are hypersensitive to even the slightest indications so even if Snape doesn't hold up as an incel type when you put the argument to the test emotionally that doesn't matter because they've made the connection and trauma associations don't come from a place of logic understandably and most with trauma don't want to just sit and have "an objective" discussion about it.
I'm a sociologist so I always try to look at all possible reasons for the behaviors of people and why we do the things we do.
Severus does seem the type, doesn’t he?
“Severus?” Quirrell laughed, and it wasn’t his usual quivering treble, either, but cold and sharp. “Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn’t he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. [HP&PS]
I think a lot of problems with how many HP fans percieve Snape stem from the type of person he seems to be.
As a teenager he’s a skinny, awkward nerd who hangs out with the wrong crowd and is fascinated by a dangerous ideology. He seems to be an archetypal nerd and incel fascinated by neonazism. A lot of ideas who Snape is, what his motivations are and so on, stem from not the source material but the archetype he seems to match.
The thing is, while he has a lot in common with this archetype, there are also significant differences. Without them Snape wouldn’t have betrayed Voldemort and become a spy, he would have stayed a loyal DE or another Karkaroff. This is important thing about Snape: he seems the type, but he is not the type.
Lily and Snape’s friendship wasn’t an awkward situation where Lily was a kind girl who sometimes talked to the local nerd out of pity and Snape jumped to the wild conclusions that they were best friends now. Lily truly liked him and they were real friends, not just in his head.
Was he jealous of James? Most likely he was, but he had a real reason to worry about Lily. James was a bully, Snape also believed James knew about “the Prank” beforehand. Would Snape have reacted in the same way if a genuinly nice boy like Cedric Diggory had been interested in her? We don’t know, but we can’t be sure that he would have reacted equally negatively. A jealous incel would have done that, but it’s not enough to be sure that Snape would have too.
After Snape called Lily a Mudblood, he sincerely apologised. An archetypal incel would have tried to put the blame on James and on external circumstances, he would have tried to gaslight Lily. An incel has a victim mentality: he’s not the one to blame, others are. But Snape did none of those things.
Snape didn’t feel entitled to Lily’s attention, he was her friend. She liked him and talked to him willingly. After Lily ended their friendship and told him to stay away, he did. He respected her wishes. An archetypal incel wouldn’t have listened, would have tried to contact her afterwards and felt entitled to her attention just because they used to talk. Snape did not, he left her alone as she wanted.
Snape was never friendzoned, because he had never asked Lily out. There is even no proof that he was in love with her romantically. Personally I think he had a crush on her, but her friendship was most important to him. I guess he didn’t want to lose it and waited for some signs that Lily had feelings for him too. Having an unrequited crush on somebody isn’t a crime, people don’t control it. An incel would have expected a romantic relationship in exchange for being nice. Snape respected Lily’s feelings and didn’t expect anything from her.
When he found out that Voldemort thought the Prophecy concerned Harry Potter, he asked Voldemort to spare Lily’s life. He could have asked him to Stupify her so he could have made her his sex slave. He could have Obliviated her so that she wouldn’t have remembered her family, he could have given her a love potion. It would have been so easy. According to Hagrid, Voldemort had wanted to recruit her before, so he surely would’ve been on board, wouldn’t he? But Snape after initial, emotional impulse to beg for her life didn’t come with such a plan. He went straight to Dumbledore, even though he could have been killed, and became a spy, risking his life, just to save Lily and her family. He took responsibility for his actions. He didn’t do it because he expected something from Lily. He hadn’t talked to her in years. It wasn’t selfish, it was selfless. He tried to save her and her family without expecting anything in return.
Do you know who saw Snape like the archetypal incel? Voldemort. And that mistake led to his downfall.
