Did the Orange Brick 2007 (partial) redub feel pointless overall?

[SuperSaiyaManZ94]

Yes, it was pointless. At most, they should've redubbed whatever episodes dub episode 54 consists of, since that is technically 1.5 episodes stuck together. Making Hebert the only narrator is an easy fix, but the dub was fundamentally broken from the start. It's like trying to fix a troubled movie with some clever edits and some reshoots. They were fundamentally broken to begin with.

And as bad as those original performances were, I don't like rewriting history. I'd rather they exist for posterity.

Definitely agree, they basically tried to (badly) polish an already terrible six/seven year old dub and didn't do very well at it. Sure, they fixed some of the worst lines and jokes. Yet that only barely scratched the surface of it's many problems.

And they inserted 2007, etc. dialog recorded on much better equipment with dialog recorded on cheap equipment. It was a terrible idea across the board. Remember how bad CGI Jabba looks when inserted into a now 40+ year old movie? It wouldn't be so bad if it was presented as "this is what we wish we could do at the time, but..." and kept the older version in circulation.
