But their all named after foods or instruments for god sakes. I don't want milk(chi chi) fighting vegtables (Radditz, vegeta) while getting attacked by juice and music instruments (piccolo). Don't get me wrong, I happen to like Vegeta, Radditz and Piccolo and most people wouldn't know the translations or think much about it anyway. But some of these names are just too much. How could this be serious?? I see what your saying but i still would hate it if they change their names.

How could this be serious?? Well, that's what DBZ is...if you like DBZ, you can live with it... Changing the name of a character like Vegeta, Piccolo, or Frieza would make me feel like I'm not having the movie I waited for...

If you don't think it could be serious, well, don't try and make it serious.

I agree, changing the main characters names would be a step too far.

their names is what makes DBZ so great. we have all grown to love these characters including theirs NAMES. look at Xmen. they have names like wolverine fcs and storm. it is totally insane if they changed the names. but i doubt that would happen. the only way in hell it would happen if YOU were in charge which would be highly unlikely you old looking fart hardy har ha. As for me, i like my Vegetables

First of all, his name is Logan, not wolverine, its a nick name, same with storm. I just don't like the fact that anime have such trivial, unrealistic silly names. But I know, you guys are just afraid of change, which is fine.

It's not being afraid of change...it's that we just want a movie with the characters we saw in the series, including their silly names...I don't care...

You know, I think the names they have would be better than anything Fox Studios would pick. I don't want Vegeta to be changed into Lazerus or something else just as stupid. I mean you say the names suck, but please tell me a better name.

It's not about fear of change because I'm certain that the movie won't be a photocopy of the manga or anime. Changing thier names would cause unneeded confusion to those who are just beginning to grasp Dragonball. Another reason is that no other name could really fit a Dragonball character. Mr. Satan's name was changed to Hercule and that was crap. It was frickin' hilarious when the crowd was chanting "Satan! Satan!". "Hercule! Hercule!" doesn't have the same effect.

I mean you say the names suck, but please tell me a better name. I understand what you mean, but you guys keep bringing up the main characters. I don't feel Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Roshi, Krillian, Tien, Bulma, or Chatsou need to be changed, nor Frieza Cell, or Buu. Those names make decent sense. I am talking about the side characters that you see with really strange names. Like the Spice Boys, King Cold (lame), Lord Slug, Pui Pui, ba ba, chi chi, froug, satan (seriously), Mr. Popo, Ox-King (Clitche much), Oolong, and stuff like that. The more I look at the names, the more I am fine with them. But the whole "everyone in the same family has similar names" is kinda silly. Its like having your name as Midnight, with two brothers named Blackie and Shadow. I am surprised though that I am the only one that feels this is a crutch to the movie. Second of all, if the characters keep all their japanese names, then this movie obviously must take place in Japan or it wont fit.

I think no name changes. At least not for the main characters.

I got money on it that if they make this a "serious" movie, then there will be name changes.
