True. But you don't usually see a lot of heterosexual men with ginormous moustaches who have a strong preference for dressing up in leather. (besides maybe a few rock stars)
Sean Schemmel is THE MAN! :)

You don't usually see a lot of homosexual men with ginormous moustaches who have a strong preference for dressing up in leather, either. If we're going to run off of purely anecdotal evidence, I can honestly say that I've never seen an openly homosexual man dress up like that in real life, only in obviously stereotypical depictions in the media. Probably because I've never gone to a bear meet-up before.

Oh, and there is an entire subculture of (presumably) heretosexual males who fit that depiction. They're called biker gangs.
It's been done countless times before, but...

Exactly. That's all it is: a stereotype.

The moostache made Vegeta look like a porn star. The leather he wears doesn't help either.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

He does look seem as such.

I don't really like to have a moustache or hair on my face because it makes me uncomfortable, itchy and unclean. Then there are the other guys who keep their hairy parts of the body and moustache for stylish or w/e reasons.

Footballers shave their legs, probably because it's required and better without the hair on them.

It isn't required................ but it is more of what you would lean towards doing taping up someone w. hair will hurt when taking the tape off and rashes if you keep hair and it holds onto the sweat...sorry to be off topic.

As a dub fan, I recall hating Pan, hating Giru, disliking kid Goku and just sitting around waiting for SS4 Vegeta while cussing at all the ~GOKU~ worship.

Rocketman, I love you (no homo).Image

You don't know how much I dreaded Giru in every scene he appeared in. I wished Pan would have just thrown him in the trashcan where he belongs then I'd like her more.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't think that. Biker gangs have moustaches and wear leather. Does that make them look like porn stars?

Depends how the moostache looks.

Well, whether or not it's a handlebar moustache or whatever, my point still stands.

I dislike Pan's voice in GT. I mean she sounds granny-ish and times.
"ahhhhhh"
But I find Giru's japanese voice far more annoying than his dub voice.

Giru's spanish voice was funny, the rest well, pretty much sucked.

Funimation's dub of GT sucked. Blue Water's, however, I found enjoyable.

My initial reaction to GT was that it somehow just didn't live up to everything I had seen in Dragon Ball and Z up until then. I went in knowing it wasn't going to be as interesting, having read about it in Pojo, but the level to which it took that...youch.

That said though, I'm one of the few who has always loved Pan as a character. Hell, I had a crush on her at first. :oops: I still find her really amusing (though definitely way more whiny than I remembered her being), and I don't see why she gets so much crap for the same stuff that every female Dragon Ball character more or less have.

I also found the last arc of GT and it's ending to be superior, at least in idea, to the end of Z. In execution, well, that's another story...

Pan was a pretty tough girl, she may not have been as strong as Trunks but she was a lot tougher than him. :lol:

Not sure why they didn't have her go SSJ.... she certainly did a lot more to deserve it then, say, Goten ever did.

That's definitely always irked me. I've seen the 'Toriyama didn't know what a female Super Saiyan would look like' excuse before - I'm unsure how authentic that quote is - but even if it is real from him...honestly, what's there to imagine?

Blonde/Golden/Yellow Spiky Hair
Green-ish Eyes
Super Power

And add boobs.

Done. Female Super Saiyan achieved. :P
