Yeah I'll never understand why people claim it makes the character sound more evil. It just sounds like a raspy woman making rodeo jokes to me while doing an awful fake laugh.

A Dragon Ball/Urusei Yatsura crossover would be awesome.

I've heard people claim that on here too. Same case with the whole back scratcher joke, which is even weirder to me because that's blatantly just a bad pun written by the punch up team.

Re: Vocal performances: DBZ vs. Kai vs. DUB kai
They probably thought the scene was so sick and whatnot they had to throw in some childish jokes to not freak out the kiddies too much. Honestly, for me the Freeza-impales-Kuririn scene as well as Videl's beatdown are probably the 2 most graphic and painful-to-watch scenes onf DBZ.The Z version. I have yet to see the Japanese Kai version. The english dub version of that scene is a joke. It's hard to take anything seriously about that scene when you have Freeza pretending he's at a rodeo.

The difference is at least they treated the Videl scene with some respect (Kudos english dub, I guess you can do some things right.)Coola Yagami wrote:They probably thought the scene was so sick and whatnot they had to throw in some childish jokes to not freak out the kiddies too much.

Please tell me your joking. What's 'sadistic' about a bad pun that completely takes the seriousness out of the moment and turns it into a fucking joke?Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:I actually thought that back-scratcher line was very sadistic.

It's sadistic because he ripped off a poor Namekian's hand and wants use it as a back-scratcher. Think about it.Cowboy Dev wrote:Please tell me your joking.

But in all seriousness, shitty line is shitty.

Honestly, I found Freeza's jokes in the old dub quite sadistic. Think about it. He's doing all kinds of brutal things, yet he takes them all lightly enough to joke about it. Sure, it's not the same as the Japanese version, but still.

I never said they weren't dumb. But they're still somewhat sadistic. 

Re: Acting: JpnDBZ vs. Kai vs. DUB kai (better/worse deliveries)
Maybe in a capable actor's hands like Ayres that crap would sound sadistic, instead of sadistically painful to my ears combined with granny-Freeza voice. Either way it's terrible unfaithful dialogue and should be left in the past with tranny Freeza where it belongs.
