For you ladies and gents who said that they'd want to see Tommy Wiseau as Mr. Satan, your wish has been granted:

... Not sure if it was a joke but I actually kinda like this casting :oops:



But yeah this really depends on whether they'd cast based on the Japanese version of the show or the American version, I'm gonna take a confident guess and say it's gonna be pretty American; so yeah, I doubt there'll be a female Goku.

I remember I was watching Ted (film) and the bear which was voiced by Seth MacFarlane sounded exactly like Brian Griffin, that was awful because the entire film was a nightmare to watch. Only reason I kept watching through the end was so I thought it'd eventually get better. It never did.

Seth MacFarlane's and Chris Sabat both have the same problem, can't differentiate the voices they do for characters because they sound the same.

Family Guy's gotten really silly and dumb lately the only reason I still watch is because it's entertaining. Futurama (cancelled but still has a couple episodes to air) and South Park need to come back.

Hire Samuel L. Jackson to voice Piccolo! :)

I honestly thought of the Piccolo voiced by Samuel L. Jackson idea since watching WTS' Piccolo makes the idea of an 'urban' sounding Piccolo not sound odd (to me). I think of that type of voice before even Sabat or McNeil, haha.

Lol, that might actually work for Goku's English voice.

If Samuel L. Jackson couldn't voice him then Vin Diesel perhaps.

Vin Diesel has done voice acting before on cartoons and games. My favourite voice acting of his is in The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

Yeah, that have rights to the movie before FUNimation. Odds are they'll keep the FUNimation cast, but, a possibility still exists that if they deny FUNimation rights, they could dub it themselves.

While still prefer Funimation, and don't know much about the movie, I can see Ian McDiarmid (The Emperor) doing Frieza.

James Marsters is actually a decent actor and was really one of the only actors from Evolution to get any praise, even from fans that hated the movie. I fail to see your logic.

I'd rather have the funi voice actors do it. I don't like change, and I think all the voice actors in KAI are amazing so I hope they don't use famous outsiders.

Well, in the off-chance that they do, if they use the Futurama and Simpsons cast (assuming they reuse the VAs at all), it...really won't be so bad. Honestly, it'd be pretty neat. But, it's probably for the best that they use the FUNimation voice actors.

I think FOX would upset more people than they'd please if they were to dub this without Funi's VA's.

I mean, I prefer the Japanese voice cast anyway, but I know Funi still has a pretty big fanbase in the U.S.

How do you know that Seth would screw up? If he got the job, I`m guessing he could do a pretty good job.

If you weekly watch Family Guy / American Dad (Cleveland Show was cancelled thank god) then you'd be reminded of Brian Griffin (Family Guy's dog) during the entire film as Seth's vocal wouldn't sound any different.

People complain about Colleen's Gohan voice, now imagine if Seth voiced whoever in Dragon Ball.

Hey, I may be in a minoroty on this, but I don`t have anything against people using their normal speaking voice in voice-over roles. Or them using the same type of voice for several characters. As long as they can act, (and I think Seth is a good actor) I have no problem with it.
