Dragonball Evolution Writer Apologizes to Fans Ben Ramsey wrote Dragonball Evolution, and he asked me to tell you that he is sorry Where did this sudden apology come from, 7 years after the movie's premiere in 2009? I contacted Ben to interview him for a book I'm writing titled "USA DBZ." The book has a chapter dedicated to telling the untold story behind Dragonball Evolution, which is Hollywood's live-action adaptation of the series Dragonball Evolution is reviled by fans and has a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes Fans of anime and pop culture consider it to be the lowest benchmark by which live- action adaptations of anime and comics are compared. When a bad movie comes out, people say, Hey, at least it wasn't as bad as Dragonball Evolution!" But where did the idea for Dragonball Evolution come from, who wrote it, what was the original intention, and why was it so disappointing to Dragon Ball fans across the world? To find out, I asked Ben for an interview He replied with an apology Ben Ramsey's Apology "I knew that it would eventually come down to this one day. Dragonball Evolution marked a very painful creative point in my life. To have something with my name on it as the writer be so globally reviled is gut wrenching. To receive hate mail from all over the world is heartbreaking. I spent so many years trying to deflect the blame, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the written word on page and I take full responsibility for what was such a disappointment to so many fans. I did the best I could, but at the end of the day, I'dropped the dragon ball I went into the project chasing after a big payday, not as a fan of the franchise but as a businessman taking on an assignment. I have learned that when you go into a creative endeavor without passion you come out with sub-optimal results, and sometimes flat out garbage. So I'm not blaming anyone for Dragonball but myself. As a fanboy of other series, I know what it's like to have something you love and anticipate be so disappointing To all the Dragon Ball fans out there,I sincerely apologize. hope I can make it up to you by creating something really cool and entertaining that you will like and that is also something I am passionate about. That's the only work I do now Best Ben."

See, Finebros..? THIS is how a true apology looks like. Natural, direct, complete and not even requested. The kind of apology that makes anyone and everyone respect you.

You are forgiven, good man. We have all screwed up badly at some point in life too.
