This is all to say that dub changes aren’t necessarily a bad thing - far from it. Individual changes can of course be be bad but the concept isn’t.

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"


Like most arguments in favor of dub changes, what people need to understand is that major creative decisions are not their job. That's not what dubs are for.
