Krillin's father, a TV reporter?!

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Funimation probably thinks she IS his mum.

I doubt that, they probably just wanted something to call her in the credits.

[Silver Sinspawn]

But lots of characters are unnamed in the dub, and remain that way in the credits.

Well, they don't always have to remain nameless in the credits. Do you honestly think FUNimation thought that was Tenshinhan's mother despite the fact that their connection was never mentioned?

[Silver Sinspawn]

Well, yes. Funimation have made hundreds of mistakes. Did anyone tell them this WASN'T Tiens mum?

[Piccolo Daimao]

I bet you guys anything that the "Tien's Mom" credit is just an in-joke. Nothing to get worked up over.

Now, the bear with people arms, that's something to talk about.

Just, why do FUNimation always have to try and be funny (e.g. "Cat loves food") when it's not needed? I know the staff can have a joke now and then, but I'm not laughing when they take the time to fuck around during the making of a dub they've already bastardized multiple times over.

And yes, I know I sound a bit grumpy, but... ...I just can't be arsed to deal with FUNimation anymore that anything they do is gonna make me facepalm.

I hope to never experience the levels of nerd rage necessary to be upset by a "Tien's Mom" joke credit.

It's not "nerd rage". I'm just fed up with FUNimation trying to be funny when it's not. It's like saying, "Look, a bald guy! He's Kuririn's brother! Lol!" It's not even funny, it's just embarrassing.

Unnamed character was probably jokingly refered to as ''Tien's Mom'' just to have something to distinguish her from other unnamed characters when it came time to do the script. So the joke was between the writers and performers only, not for the fans. Whatever was in the script simply HAD to be in the credits, that's all.

[Silver Sinspawn]

That makes sense, but I'm over the corny jokes.

Exactly, it wasn't: "DERP FUNIMATON THOUGHT DAT WAZ TIEN'S MOM DERP, THEYZ STUPD".

[Silver Sinspawn]

Don't need to be a prick. I was just saying they make a few mistakes.

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Trust me, FUNi didn't think that was Tenshinhan's mother. That's like them saying that those guys from the Orin Temple that show up at the 21st Tenka'ichi Budoukai are Krillin's brothers. They've made mistakes, but they're not stupid.

[Silver Sinspawn]

Did they say they were brothers?
Off topic: I wonder if they died when east city got blown up by Nappa?

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Did they say they were brothers?

No, they didn't. I was using an example.

[Silver Sinspawn]

Oh right then. They could be. But we don't know. Oh well.
