You didn't like Dragonball: Evolution then? (I'm joking!)

I think the original Dragon Ball itself is already an interpretation of American tastes, drawing its influence as much from Superman comics as Chinese texts. In fact I could argue that Dragon Ball is not an authentic translation of Journey to the West, but it would be silly, because I enjoy both of these stories.

I'm labouring the point and I don't wish to sound tiresome. I keep coming back to how Power Rangers was received when it was originally aired, and whilst I have never paid much attention to the show, I always thought it sad that one of the ways in which people mocked those stories was because they sought to represent a broader and diverse cast. I will end my comments here, but I really don't think it would be a bad thing for stories to learn from such an example.
