Agreed, and what I also find irritating is if you don't agree with TFS fans, many will claim you just don't understand.
I think KaiserNeko can be a little arrogant as well.
Yeah, agreed there.

Poor voice acting? TFS is miles above the first DBZ FUNImation dub. MasakoX is really good doing Goku despite his accent, their Vegeta and Piccolo are almost identical and slightly better than the dub and you could say that about many in their cast for the voices of: Bulma, Yamcha, Tien, Coola, 17, 18 and etc.

Either way, it's unfair to compare the two voice acting wise, TFS isn't restricted to following lip flaps and there main goal is comedy. They do have some good actors though, some of them have gone on to do official funimation dubs like 18's actress.

No, they are doing impressions of other actors. They aren't acting.

Every fan that puts power levels as either the most important or among the most important aspect of DB should be wipe out of the planet, they are a terrible pandemic.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Edgy.

Powerlevels are the single most important thing in a series like Dragon Ball, it shapes the story itself and our investment in it.

I'm not the biggest fan of TFS and the old DBZ dub, but I think I would take the latter over the former. The former's voices wouldn't work outside of their parodies.

Yes, they are. They are playing a character, actin as role within their parody. They are acting, it doesn't matter what you think of said acting, it is acting.

They aren't even characters. They are more like impressions randomly stringing jokes together. Regardless, fans of TFS should not be putting them in the same category as official VA's.

Powerlevels are the single most important thing in a series like Dragon Ball, it shapes the story itself and our investment in it.
Also people tends to think power levels is all a matter of big numbers and formulas, no. F*** scouters, we don't want to know how many quadrillions is Beerus power level, we just want to see consistency in things like: X character was weaker than Y, but fought and lost to Z who was show to be stronger than both. It's not asking much.

Power scaling aside, I really like the idea that Super seems to be implying that Goku will always strive to be stronger but may never surpass certain beings.

The need for Goku, Vegeta, or even the villains having to be the strongest in the universe to tell story's in Dragon Ball seems to be gone, and it's for the better.

Or people randomly quoting things in none TFS videos.
Toei did something with Popo a character that they own and all of a sudden people think that Toei did a TFS reference... :problem:
Dude the tfs voice acting was miles above Z Dub, just compare both Bulma voices From Z Dub and tfs and you will know which one sounds more scratchy and raspy
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.
