Therefore,anyDragon Ballstory without Krillin is incomplete.
It also speaks to how the film perceived the characters most of them served as nothing but plot devices.
Even Yamcha, who joins the heroes ahead of the third act, is virtually just a comic relief.
Would Krillin Have Saved Dragonball Evolution?
Krillin could have been a good comic relief too, but only if written properly.
However,nothing inEvolutionsuggests it would have gotten Krillin right.

The film ditches most of the mangas story and introduces new, original concepts about Piccolo and Goku.
There are arguably no redeemable qualities about the live-actionDragon Ballfilm.
None of the characters could live up to their anime counterparts, starting with Goku.

However, in hindsight, Im relieved that Krillin was not in theDragon Balllive-action movie.
Krillin died six times in theDragon Ballfranchise considering all series (includingGT) and alternate universes.

Master Roshi and his dynamic with Goku didnt work inEvolution.
Additionally, its hard to believe thatEvolutionwould have gotten the humor and the silliness that comes with Krillin.
Since then,Dragon Ballhas entered a new successful era of theatrical movies and anime series.
Therefore, it seems like a live-action project is not a priority.
However, considering how popular the IP is,I would not be surprised if anotherDragon Balllive-action movie happenseventually.
If it does, it needs Krillin.
Either way, Krillin would be very important.
The movie diverges from its source material, offering a modernized take on the beloved franchise.
