Once the technology is sophisticated enough, we can make a whole feature film happen with a few words and a little spitshine to clean up rougher edges.
Damn, this '80s Dragon Ball movie totally feels like a weird mix between the sinister atmosphere of "Dune" and the campy characters of "Flash Gordon." However, I think this combination strangely works.
80's Bulma: "It really hurts me how much you hate the entire Earth, Vegeta" 80's Vegeta: "Are you an earthling, Bulma?" 80's Bulma: "Of course" 80's Vegeta: "Then I don't hate the entire Earth...." *Proceed to make love in slow-motion as "Take My Breath Away" begins to play*
Frieza: "Who are you?" Goku: "I AM THE SON OF THE WARRIOR YOU KILLED IN COLD BLOOD!!!" Frieza: "Sorry, could you be a little more specific?" Goku: "FRIEZAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" *Bad to the Bone begins to play*
At 1:37, that's Android 17 not 18. Fun fact, their real names are Lapis & Lazuli respectively actually. They just weren't used in the story for whatever reason. I have no clue why Toriyama did that.
Now THIS is how you take artistic liberties and still make something I would genuinely to this day, pay money to watch. Whatever plot is buried under these images, is the Dragon Ball Z knockoff that I feel even Toriyama could appreciate. Also small criticism here but the one titled King Kai, I would argue more is Yemma or Enma, however it's spelled. The one at the big desk made of mahogany. ....MMMMMMMahhhhogany
Are you not aware of the revolution that is happening with AI's? (Artificial Inteligenies) Basically, you can generate an image of whatever you want just by giving a textual description. In this case the AI used was Midjourney. But the thing does not end images, the AIs are just in their beginnings and are giving great results in, but the thing does not end images, AI's are just in their infancy and are giving great results in many areas. The most remarkable and that attracted more attention so far in ChatGPT (a chatbot) There was even a former Google employee who was convinced by an AI that he has a conscience of his own.
This makes me wonder what would happen if a very loose adaptation of DBZ tried to pull plot points and characters from the Sayan, Frieza, and Android sagas and somehow combine them into a single movie. It would probably be some sort of messy space opera with a few characters that came from the future, and an entire act of the movie would take place in a surreal afterlife for some weird reason.
You could have used this soundtrack, seems 80s enough to me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s5SWRUhgcN8.html However pretty cool images there. It is scary and impressive soon we will see complete films or video games AI made.
