Sport, look, I was using the other Goku voices as a reference, not just to bring them up. I was challenged over why I thought Schemmel wasn't a good Goku, and I simply defended my position. I'm not looking to turn the thread into a Peter Kelamis or MasakoX appreciation thread, and if you'd been paying attention, you'd notice.Cipher wrote:I swear to god, this discussion of Goku's English voice actors has to be one of the most blisteringly irritating things I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Seems to me that every time things have almost become fair or reasonable again, penguintruth has to come back with a, "No. Only I understand the character. Never mind that you're as familiar with the property as I am." Not to say that all sides haven't been continuing the conversation to my great chagrin.
No one gives a fuck who your favorite English Goku is. Schemmel is the one voicing him in the English Kai. I came to this thread looking for more evidence and review of his overall performance in this dub, not on what minute and extremely subjective character details he captures vs other interpretations. And I came to see that information relayed in a manner which, at the very most, displays only the arrogance of a normal human being.
Damn.
I never said that only I understand the character, nor was I implying that. Perhaps your natural lack of grasp of conversation lead you to this, but I can hardly be blamed for that. There are plenty of people who get Goku. He's not a complicated character. But clearly none of those people are Sean Schemmel, or Chris Sabat who casted him.
Maybe instead of accusing me of overreacting, some of you might want to dial it down yourselves.
EDIT: Next episode previews sound pretty good.
