It’s still official piece of media, and put some damn respect on it because it’s literally the reason Toriyama went and wrote BoG ( due to how bad it was)

It's still a licensed work some kind which means it can stay here unlike Dragon Ball KakumeiBut Dragon Ball evolution didn't have Akira's hands like Dragon Ball Z or GT to be declared as official, it's more like something that isn't accepted as Dragon Ball by Akira
As @Huesito88 just pointed out, Evolution is a licensed piece of work that legally uses the Dragon Ball license from Toei and those who own Dragon Ball. Kakumei, meanwhile, is LITERALLY FANFICTION THAT WASN'T GIVEN PERMISSION FROM TOEI TO USE THE DRAGON BALL LICENSE. That's why Evolution is allowed but not Kakumei, because one is officially licensed and the other is just a fan made storyBut Dragon Ball evolution didn't have Akira's hands like Dragon Ball Z or GT to be declared as official, it's more like something that isn't accepted as Dragon Ball by Akira
BoG it is very differentIt’s still official piece of media, and put some damn respect on it because it’s literally the reason Toriyama went and wrote BoG ( due to how bad it was)
But is there really anything saying that it was licensed by Toei?As @Huesito88 just pointed out, Evolution is a licensed piece of work that legally uses the Dragon Ball license from Toei and those who own Dragon Ball.

I need to make some corrections after doing some research, as I realize that Toei isn't the sole owners of Dragon. See, here's somethings you need to understand about Dragon Ball's ownership: Toriyama is NOT the sole owner of the entire franchise, he created Dragon Ball and is credited as such but he does not hold total control over the entire franchise across every aspect.But is there really anything saying that it was licensed by Toei?
That doesn't seem like good proof.I need to make some corrections after doing some research, as I realize that Toei isn't the sole owners of Dragon.

The Mess of "Who owns Dragon Ball?" • Kanzenshuu
www.kanzenshuu.com
Shueisha (the publishing company which owns things like V Jump and Shonen Jump) are the ultimate right holders of Dragon Ball, Toei owns the rights to the anime, Bandai are the owners of Dragon Ball merchandising, and etc. So while Toriyama is certainly important and is the creator of Dragon Ball, it cannot be stated enough that he doesn't have full control over the licensing. Now why's this important to Evolution? Because the company who made Evolution, 20th Century Fox, bought the American film rights to Dragon Ball from Shueisha and were given permission by them to use the characters in a live action movie without Toriyama's involvement or say so.
Kakumei, on the other hand, is objective fanfiction created by a fan of Dragon Ball without any official permission from Shueisha and those who also own Dragon Ball...otherwise it would be distributed and sold for commercial purpose, yet the creator of Kakumei keeps it free and non profited because they'd get sued for trying to make money off of licensed work. That's why Evolution is allowed on here but Kakumei isn't, because the former is licensed while the later isn't
LmaoThat doesn't seem like good proof.
He got me there that's for sure, I genuinely can't think of a good response to such a well thought out and put together counterpoint.../s.Lmao
But jokes aside, I'm speaking the truth here unfortunately. There is a reason why all Dragon Ball related anime is done by Toei, or why any and all Dragon Ball games are published and licensed by Bandai, or any Dragon Ball movies in America are shown with the 20th Century FOX logo....because all three owe a certain aspect of the Dragon Ball franchise, but all the rights ultimately come from Shueisha. So again, Toriyama is the creator and is credited as such but he isn't in sole control of what Shueisha and the like do with the franchise.That doesn't seem like good proof.
I understand the games, animes, and films with Akira's hands, but Dragon Ball evolution is very far from something official, in any case it doesn't even want to be mentioned anymore by Toei or Akira, I think stopped being official years agoHe got me there that's for sure, I genuinely can't think of a good response to such a well thought out and put together counterpoint.../s.

What you think doesn´t matter too much in this case tbh, if it was approved by one of the people that has the rights of DB then it is official unless something proves otherwiseI understand the games, animes, and films with Akira's hands, but Dragon Ball evolution is very far from something official, in any case it doesn't even want to be mentioned anymore by Toei or Akira, I think stopped being official years ago
I mean the back of Evolution's DVD cover gives credit to Toriyama and Shonen Jump/Shueisha, and if it was no longer official then I doubt Shueisha would allow it to be distributed or streamed online. Plus considering that Evolution was made after 20th Century FOX bought the rights to film distribution in America, that would mean that they asked Dragon Ball's owner about making a live action movie and they gave FOX permissionWhat you think doesn´t matter too much in this case tbh, if it was approved by one of the people that has the rights of DB then it is official unless something proves otherwise
Very good, my opinion doesn't count, but what do you have to say about these things?What you think doesn´t matter too much in this case tbh, if it was approved by one of the people that has the rights of DB then it is official unless something proves otherwise
At the 2014 Wizard World Convention, actor James Marsters expressed feelings that he was misled about Dragonball: Evolution, claiming, "they told me it was a $120 million picture, and that Stephen Chow was producing. And I get out to Durango, Mexico and it's a $30 million picture and Stephen Chow is just on paper to fool us down into the desert. And they don't even want to pay for the stuntman to get made up like me, so they never used the stuntman; they just kept putting me up on wires. I still have a separated clavicle from the shoot, because it was just gnarly."
This doesn´t prove that the film ins´t officialVery good, my opinion doesn't count, but what do you have to say about these things?
He didn't even know what was doing about this film.
why don't you take it out to profie deletion tbhHonestly, why does this exist?
Goku (Dragonball Evolution)
I don't think we need to profile this film and it should be deleted
Luffy, both of these quotes are 100% irrelevant to the discussion and the argument being made...these are actors and writer talking about how they feel about the movie, not that it's no longer officially licensed.Very good, my opinion doesn't count, but what do you have to say about these things?
He didn't even know what was doing about this film.
This proves that the film was not made as Dragon Ball should be, it is contracting the work soon and in addition there are official words from Akira saying that it is neither canon nor official (he even mentions that it is not it's Dragon Ball)This doesn´t prove that the film ins´t official
Man, i am don't know If i argue against you or just make a joke.This proves that the film was not made as Dragon Ball should be, it is contracting the work soon and in addition there are official words from Akira saying that it is neither canon nor official (he even mentions that it is not it's Dragon Ball)
The film's creator had no experience with the work, nor even had any involvement with Akira, it is not described as official
This is simply not an official story like Dragon Ball Heros, GT, Super, and Dragon Ball Z
You can even say that it is official, but you are extremely mistaken in thinking that it is, this film did not even have any involvement with Toei, only the rights were purchased (this does not state anything that is official) just that a poorly developed project with no knowledge left to work, it simply stopped being official when Akira came out to the public and said that it's not Dragon Ball, apart from the creator saying that he didn't know anything about Dragon Ball, I think we have a lot of reasons why this shouldn't even be considered Dragon Ball
Having the right to something is one thing, but it's completely different from being official, this no longer has any involvement with Shueisha, this company simply has the right to publish just that, it's like Netflix that has the right to publish some anime in its catalog that aren't theirs, they're just using the name Dragon Ball, although various proofs that I've stated don't make this movie even Dragon Ball to tell the truth.Luffy, both of these quotes are 100% irrelevant to the discussion and the argument being made...these are actors and writer talking about how they feel about the movie, not that it's no longer officially licensed.
And again if it wasn't considered licensed anymore then why would Shueisha allow it to be streamed online when it's apparently using the Dragon Ball name illegally? So either I'm missing something, or it's just that Evolution is officially licensed
Toriyama is not the sole owner of Dragon Ball as I have pointed messages ago, so it's irrelevant what he says...regardless of its quality, Evolution uses the Dragon Ball name and therefore it's considered Dragon Ball media.This proves that the film was not made as Dragon Ball should be, it is contracting the work soon and in addition there are official words from Akira saying that it is neither canon nor official (he even mentions that it is not it's Dragon Ball)
This is actually horse shit, as it turns out that Toriyama acted as a creative consultant to this movie so he did have involvement in Evolution. Given that Akira has a tendnecy to forget even basic shit like Android 18 having blonde hair, I have no doubt he forgot he was a creative consultant for the movie.The film's creator had no experience with the work, nor even had any involvement with Akira, it is not described as official
Completely and totally irrelevant here....it has the name, it's credited to Toriyama and Shueisha, and it's distributed under their permission, so it is in fact an official story.This is simply not an official story like Dragon Ball Heros, GT, Super, and Dragon Ball Z
Didn't I explain this earlier? Fox only bought the rights to distribute DB movies in America and the rights to any live action movies that may be made, the article that I linked about Toriyama's involvement also states that they "concluded a rights deal with Shueisha, the Japanese publisher of the comic." This means that they, in fact, did need to get permission to make a live action Dragon Ball movie and that there was involvement.You can even say that it is official, but you are extremely mistaken in thinking that it is, this film did not even have any involvement with Toei, only the rights were purchased (this does not state anything that is official) just that a poorly developed project with no knowledge left to work, it simply stopped being official when Akira came out to the public and said that it's not Dragon Ball, apart from the creator saying that he didn't know anything about Dragon Ball, I think we have a lot of reasons why this shouldn't even be considered Dragon Ball
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask it (Title says "Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread", & this is more about DB/DBZ than DBS.), but I Googled a bit & couldn't find answers:
What is an in-universe reason why infant Goku's ship got him to Earth faster than the 1 year it took Vegeta or Nappa's ships?
The answer that seems obvious, is not in-universe: It's "Plot-Induced Stupidity"/Authors neglected/Authors can't do math.
Goku was an infant (If not newborn, IIRC.) when he was sent, & I don't recall any indication more than a year passed before his ship crashed on Earth & Grandpa Gohan found him.
A speculative answer might say that Saiyans set the pods for their immature invaders to have awful conditions so that:
1. The ship spends more resources on getting to the target ASAP than on silly stuff like "life support".
& 2. The young saiyan's already aggressive & malleable saiyan biological "programming" kicks in from the poor conditions followed by a crash's rude awakening & a sudden food supply to get it to go berserk & eat & kill everything sooner rather than later.
But it's worth getting a second opinion & seeing if anyone else has any other info on the matter.
Pardon any bother, please, all.
He is the highest authority on whether or not a story is part of his universe or not. If you have no other counterclaim of the DBE movies being canon/part of the universe, then we have a statement disregarding them. End of story.Toriyama is not the sole owner of Dragon Ball as I have pointed messages ago, so it's irrelevant what he says
I'm not claiming that it's canon or part of the series, only that DBE is officially licensed DB media. It's absolutely not canon to the manga, anime, GT, Super, Heroes, and all that jazz...but it's still got the name so I consider it as being part of the nameIf you have no other counterclaim of the DBE movies being canon/part of the universe, then we have a statement disregarding them.

So bottom line; Like it or not, Evolution is in fact officially licensed DB media and no amount of appeals to emotion will disprove the evidence I've provided which states otherwise
Akira himself said that they didn't listen to him and didn't want to change things, even the creator of this movie said that he knew absolutely nothing about Dragon Ball, sorry, but that's not official at all, bro. That doesn't sound like Dragon Ball to me, there's no script for one, terrible development, the creator was just trying to make money out of it '-'It doesn't seem to be something licensed, and even Akira says that this isn't Dragon Ball
I have to agree that it doesn't actually follow Dragon Ball faithfully and much less should it be called something licensed
Why? I love debating when I have free time about Dragon Ball (although I have to sleep now)Luffy on his omega arc
Luffy, none of this matters.Akira himself said that they didn't listen to him and didn't want to change things, even the creator of this movie said that he knew absolutely nothing about Dragon Ball, sorry, but that's not official at all, bro.

I can't understand where you're going with all this, since the evidence I've put in your hands makes it not official Dragon Ball at all
Yes, we are discussing about the Dragon Ball Evolution movieThis entire conversation funny as hell
That's useful. Though, wait, what?We lack information of where Vegeta and Nappa were, and how much time Goku actually spent. According to the Daizenshuu chronology, if we assume he was sent in the beginning of year 737, and got there by June-August like the page says, he took 7-8 months, which is reasonable.
Keep in mind that the Daizenshuu claims Goku was born this year, that has been retconned.
This film was not licensed by Toei, this company had the rights to Dragon Ball of course, but the film itself is not official, it has no plot based faithfully on the work, although you can say that She has the right to the films, that's right, but being an official is another story.Luffy, none of this matters.
It's licensed and officially released media. Toriyama could call it the Devil's Work today and it wouldn't stop it from being that way.
Does it suck as a story? Yeah, fine. But quality and approval =/= licensing.
Yeah I can't believe I'm arguing so heatedly about if a bad adaptation of an anime is considered officially licensed or notThis entire conversation funny as hell
YES! THANK YOU! This is what I've been trying to say for the last literal hour or so, maybe now I can finally go to bed and nurse the headache that's rapidly approaching my brain right nowLuffy, none of this matters.

That doesn't matter.

Get better soon man. I know how much that can suck.Yeah I can't believe I'm arguing so heatedly about if a bad adaptation of an anime is considered officially licensed or notI hate having high functioning autism sometimes, it makes me needlessly passionate about topics which are quite frankly irrelevant...which I had this level of passion in my day to day life

I know man. I'm honestly on the crux of getting really mad about this, but I acknowledge that it's not a good fit as a user on here to get needlessly aggressive when talking about stuff like this so, knowing that and not wanting to get a warning for being hostile, I'm just going to go to bed now and cool down with some well needed sleep.Get better soon man. I know how much that can suck.
I'm good. Honestly more baffling and funny than anything else. Hating a piece of media so much it becomes fanfiction to you is peak.I know man.
