sharktamer posted:Well Goku never was the force of good that people seem to think he is. Even though the whole bad dad joke is getting old, he's not even that nice of a person. He could be like Superman, saving people across the world, even the universe, but he'd rather get his training fix. If he spent all day saving people he'd have no time to train, so when the next supervillain shows up he'd be too weak to stand against him and everyone would die anyway

In It For The Tank posted:gently caress man, the fighting in the earlier movies was so good. The choreography was totally on point and attacks felt so physical. That elbow right in the face at one minute in had such power behind it. Agreed. I'm also a fan of the type of animation and art style they had for the earlier movies. It just looks good really. It's why I like the Dead Zone so much, the art and animation in that film is just fantastic.

New Leaf posted:See, I know people are going to rail against me, but the only time we saw him before Super, he said he was going to blow up Earth over something stupid and he zapped a rock. This time he went to a planet unannounced, tried to steal their dinner, changed his mind, then blew the whole thing up. That isn't quite the same thing. Going to other planets and judging their continued existence based on the tastiness of their dinner is kinda Beerus' MO. Earth would've been toast if Goku didn't wear him out.

Goddamn, I haven't heard the Ocean dub in a long time. I forgot what old Goku sounded like. In It For The Tank posted:Side note, I have been repeatedly watching the moment where Goku uses Kaioken x4 during the beam struggle (at 3:21) and I cannot work out what the dub voice actor says. It sounds like he just screams gibberish. Can anyone figure it out? Pretty sure he says "power up."

So I want to take a minute to talk about episode 7 of GT. This episode features Goku, Pan, and Trunks coming across a village on a planet where women are being kidnapped by an evil monster. Our heroes disguise one of themselves as a bride for the monster in order to deceive it, and I'm guessing they will battle it in episode 8. If this sounds familiar it's because it's the exact same premise from the Dragon Ball episode that introduced Oolong. Pan initially wants Goku to dress up as the bride. In the subtitled Japanese (At least in my copy), Goku just complains that he doesn't want to dress up as a girl. In the English dub, Goku's motivation is actually different- not only does he not want to dress up as a girl, he specifically brings up that he's tried this very same plan before when he was a little kid and that it didn't work out very well, with Pan being in disbelief that this event happened. I really like how how the dub has altered Goku's characterization here, as it actually highlights Goku has changed at least somewhat since the Oolong episode of early Dragon Ball (Or at the very least that he's able to recall that plans that didn't work so well in the past might not work so well in the present as well). I wonder how many other changes the dub has like this that attempt to fix up GT in subtle ways. Some of the changes are clearly because of the audience the American version is aimed at (Pan also talks about getting the monster drunk on Sake in Japanese, whereas in English she simply refers to having the monster let its guard down as it is lured into a false sense of security. The English dub has a later reference to "strong drinks" to feed the monster, but they avoid mentioning alcohol directly, unlike something like the Battle of Gods dub.), but I have to appreciate Funimation's efforts here to actually make this episode not just a pointless retread. It still mostly is a dumb retread, but they tried dammit! Raxivace fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Jul 13, 2015 |

It was a different guy for the first 30 or so episodes then they got the one from the clip there for the rest of their run and the movies they did. They did a really good job casting the roles back then. The current roster came into their own too but the transition was really jarring.

Replacing Vegeta's Sinister Bad Guy voice with Angry Tough Guy voice was an improvement right off the bat though. I don't think Ocean's Vegeta voice would have worked long term.

In BoG Beerus says something about destroying planets so new ones can be made, but I don't think it's ever specified who does the creating.

It's pretty sad when Goku and Vegeta could mop the floor with nearly the entire pantheon of known gods in DBZ other than Beerus. I wonder if any of the other universes are like that? Does each universe have its own independent afterlife?

In the other universes our heroes encounter a dimension based around Judeo-Christian thinking, an afterlife identical to Valhalla, and an ancient Egyptian style mythology where you get eaten by a crocodile.

I noticed something when rewatching the cell saga, Yamcha is all heart broken when bulma tells everyone who Trunks's dad is, but then when they are making wishes at the end he mentions wishing for a gift for his girlfriend, so i guess rather than train during the 10 days, he probably realized he was going to die and decided to get laid instead

Namtab posted:the babe who sneezed Launch, not Lunch. Also, I might be in the minority on this, but I'm ok with characters being regulated to the background. Most of the ones who are did so around the time their own personal stories ended. Like Tien got over wanting to be a mercenary and decided to be more selfish, Master Roshi has fully given in to the idea of leaving things to the next generation, Piccolo has gotten over his evil urges and reunited with his good half, and such. Others just never really had those to begin so they went to the background as quickly as they appeared like Chaotzu and Yajirobe which is fine since they were never meant to be big characters (the former is just Krillin's opposite for the tournament and other is just so Krillin's VA had lines while Krillin was dead). Just saying.

I feel weird that it seems the first few episodes of Super are just going to be retelling the plot of Battle of the Gods with maybe some slight differences. I dunno. Still looks pretty and is funny though. Excited for whatever Fat Beerus and Female Whis are.

Hjalmar posted:I hope this isn't that unpopular an opinion, but I completely adore King Kai's english voice. It just, to me at least, completely captures the character of a weird fat bug god who hangs out with a smaller bug and a monkey driving around a tiny planet all day. I'm the same way, King Kai's dub voice doesn't like... sound like an angelic loving choir or anything but it suits him perfectly.
