It hurts so much to watch Linda Young. One of my favourite villains if not my favourite Dragon Ball villain is bastardized and replaced with some old woman who tells terrible jokes and says some of the most awkward dialogue. I 100% agree with you.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Dabura, Buu, Babidi and almost every alien in DBZ sounds like male and female, even Cold and Cooler sound like guys, there was no reason for Frieza to sound the way Linda Gray did.Dr. Machismo wrote:Linda Young's really shouldn't be a gender confuser. Freeza is an alien, so why should you expect an male alien to be anything like a human male? Her voice doesn't sound like a human male's ... but she's voicing an Alien.

I really don't care who's voice sounds better for Frieza. But I definitely like LK's voice for him better. It doesn't matter if it was a girl voicing Frieza, it just wasn't fitting to me. Always sounded like he had something stuck in his throat.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Hmm...by the way, I absolutely loved that whole solid minute of callbacks to the old Z dub. The one where Vegeta said "there's more than one way to reach SSJ", the "pushups n' situps" line, the exchange between Tien and Vegeta...I thought that was a nice bone to throw to dub fans

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Because before Christopher Ayres came along, LK was the best interpretation of Freeza the English speaking world had ever had. I do not say this as his director, I do not say it as his friend, I do not say it as a fan of his: I say that as a fan of DragonBall Z. I love LK's performance as Freeza, top to bottom. He's incredibly talented.dbzfan7 wrote:What about LK? He also does a fantastic job.KaiserNeko wrote:Not going to lie: I'm a little drunk right now.

You struck gold with him. That's the best interpretation of Freeza I've ever seen; he's hilarious and terrifying at the same time.KaiserNeko wrote:Because Christopher Ayers came along, LK was the best interpretation of Freeza the English speaking world had ever had.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Either way they are both brilliant and talented. It's sad Freeza is dead now and doesn't make another appearance until Other World filler. I'd give LK the funnier Freeza though for obvious reasons.KaiserNeko wrote:I'm saying, Christopher Ayers is the best Freeza.dbzfan7 wrote:So you prefer LK or Chris Ayers?

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
