10 Promising Cinematic Franchises That Completely Flopped

In case you’ve been frozen for the past few decades, Dragon Ball Z is one of the most popular anime series ever released. Its fanbase is among the most fanatical of any fandoms, and many will tell you that Goku would beat up Superman without even trying.

However, when Dragonball Evolution tried to launch an American-based cinematic franchise, it was so reviled that writer Ben Ramsey issued an apology for not applying any passion to the project. The critics hated it. The fans hated it. Hell, everyone hated it, and even the creators aren’t too keen to acknowledge its existence.

As expected, there was no sequel to Dragonball Evolution. The franchise still continues in other forms and mediums, but the Americanized version of it is dead and buried.
