Dragonball Z: The Live-Action Movie

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Well people usually do desire immortality to live forever however of the people in DBZ who have desired it (Vegeta, Frieza, Garlic Jr.) most have done it to ensure that they cannot die. Frieza feared the Saiyans, no matter how much he likes to mock and degrade them, he wiped out their whole planet and race for a reason.

He was fearful they might overpower him and I find it way too convenient that Frieza went after the Namek dragon balls after hearing about the Earth dragon balls over Raditz's transmission. Frieza knew Vegeta still existed and knew Vegeta harbored ideas of vengeance in his head towards him.

Frieza didn't want to die, as powerful as he truly was his experience with the Saiyans is proof enough that he knows people can one day become stronger then him. Plus the fear of the Super Saiyan is another testament to his fear of being killed by Saiyans, knowing how dangerous one of those could be in RL.

Raditz is actually one of the cooler characters and a lot of people don't give him much credit. In truth, he started everything, it was because of him that the chain of events that turned into the series occurred in the first place. It was Raditz who broke the ice to everyone about Saiyans existing and Goku's true nature.

He started everything and it was his clever use of transmitting Piccolo's statement about the dragon balls through his scouter to Vegeta and Nappa that brought them to Earth and thus lead them to Frieza going to Namek and so on and so forth. Sadly, Raditz wasn't very well liked by anyone it seemed.

Nappa is an elite Saiyan and Vegeta is a royal elite, while Raditz is a low class Saiyan along with the rest of Goku's family so it makes sense Vegeta wouldn't care about Raditz even though he was one of the last pure blooded Saiyans left. Low class Saiyans are also the only ones who still get weak when their tail is pulled.

Nappa and Vegeta didn't share this weakness and another funny trait about low class Saiyans is that they don't have 100% control as Oozarus (giant monkey forms). Low class Saiyans cannot speak, control, or remember what they do as Oozarus. Vegeta however could speak, think, and remember everything he did.

My favorite DBZ villain is Cell I absolutely love that guy, he's even my favorite anime villain of all time. If the movie ever gets to his saga depending on the movie's success, I would LOVE to see how he is portrayed. Just for the sake of seeing Cell on the big screen.
