By the time you take out a lot of the stuff that's necessary to make a good movie you already have a lot of reworking to do. I don't think Pilaf could be the main vilain of a movie but I think the story of how Goku meets Bulma and how the adventure begins is an important starting point. That means you have to re-write the begining with the Red Ribbon Army or Piccolo as the main threat (the latter of which, they obviously chose). Then there are obviously some issues with style you have to change when making an adaptation. Unless this reboot focused on the Red Ribbon Army, it would probably end up facing a lot of the issues that evolution faced so the makers wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. Take Goku out of high school and make him about 15. Make his hair less gelled looking and more air blown and wild. Really play up the energetic and exited side because I haven't seen Chatwin convey that in any of the released footage. (not blaming him though) Have Krillin arrive to train under Roshi at about the same time Goku and Bulma come looking for his dragonball. He's kind of a jerk at first but evntually becomes close friends with goku. Chi-chi could be similar to he original anime version and posess one of the dragonballs. My version of Tien would be very different origin wise. He's the body guard of emperor Chiaozu(kind of a cameo). Tien family have been the body guard of the royal family for years and have passed down the ancient crane technique of martial arts. After Piccolo attacks and steals Chiaotzu's dragonball (maybe kills him) Tien vows to track him down. Eventually he comes into contact with Goku and the gang. Yamcha and Bulma can stay basically the same. Improve the looks a bit though. I think all this would make a movie that's a little over 2 hours. It's a big ensemble, but it worked in Lord of the Rings which brings me to another point. Make it feel epic! I'm sorry but Rule doesn't sound like a song that should play with a movie about the fate of the world being at stake. I want that great fantasy feel like Chronicles of Narnia since this would be a kid's movie. Now that I've written all that, it kind of feels like we're back to where we were before with story ideas and all that.
