Damn it, Goku is Asian!

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

YouTube sensation KevJumba hit it right with his latest video on the Hollywood version of all-time Asian anime favorite Dragon Ball:

He could not have said it better.

And mind you, this is not the first time Hollywood made an Asian hero white. In the original book called Starship Troopers, the hero, John Rico, is Filipino. But in the Hollywood movie adaptation, he became an Argentine white man.

Yup! I agree with you. They think we aren’t as cool as them..but I believe we are cool. Why would they make Dragon Ball into a movie?! right? See you soon Jj.

You know, I really dug the background music the youtube video used.

I agree with you and him completely. But I’ve ZERO faith that this movie is gonna turn out well. What’s more outrageous is that the director is a FRIGGIN ASIAN TOO! Go, Asian Uncle Tom (or should we call him Tom Ojisan or Tom Shu Shu)?

Lee: The world owes a lot to us Asians, especially to you Chinese people :D

Carlo: precisely. Asians are there only if the movie involves kung fu or karate.

Kris: I’ve seen the movie. Didn’t like it at all.

This is good that we can take the business loans moreover, it opens up completely new chances.

The DragonBall movie sucked! Clearly Americans haven’t seen enough old asian martial arts films.
