Not all of them got better.

I haven't heard any that I've liked

Most of them, especially the main cast got better. Sabat and Strait got way better.

That old b*stard certainly was bad, though.

I will say I can't tell which is worse here: the BG dub voices or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf9jzu-JFKU

They're both pretty bad, but I think BG is worse. BG is honestly a parody lol.

Wait, that is his actual name? If so, I do think his Master Roshi was pretty good, although his other roles suck, IMHO.

(I'm just going by what the fandom calls him there)

His Turles and Roshi were great

Sometimes his tullece sounds like Robin Williams. His rant about gohan and icuras especially.

When it comes to voices that don't truly fit, I can still tell that the actors are doing their best.

I agree with you the Big Green cast tried their best and for their efforts they're laughed at. they're mocked. they're made fun of. they're discredited. they're dismissed. they're crucified.

You're really exaggerating. The BG actors (all four of them) are all still working in projects that are far better made than a poorly written mess of a dub from about a decade ago. It isn't some kind of specter that has haunted their careers and lives for years or something.

So are Funimation and Ocean and more but I'm saying they were not mocked the way the BG cast were

That's because the Big Green dub is terrible. I'm unfamiliar with the actors' other work, but, as a whole, the Big Green dub is just bad. I don't care how hard they "tried;" their jobs are to act. The results are what matter.

Such as? I'm not seeing (nor, do I think, is anyone else) all of this excessive hate that you seem to think is everywhere.

People make lame jokes about what must have happened in the booth
They still call Paul Bandey that nickname
Some people make personal attacks on the cast like "If I knew who did this i would....."
Sometimes they have to exaggerate which is saying a lot since we're talking about the "horrible" Big Green

There is no excessive hate but i still think their rep should be better than it is

I think you're talking exclusively about the Youtube users. Which, let's be honest, make those kinds of comments and threats about anything.

I had never heard anyone call Paul Bandy "That Old Bastard" before you came here and made a big deal about it, and I know quite a few others who never had either.

So, thanks, I guess, for spreading it?

And the dub is pretty horrible. There's no exaggeration necessary.
