When you say "Circus Music" I take it that you do not literally mean the Faulconer track titled "Circus Music"...But depending on which Faulconer tracks chosen some could suit this scene decently.MajinVejitaXV wrote:Respectfully, I disagree. Take this scene:

Now, replace it with circus music (In your head, I'm not actually going to redub it ). Sure, the characters don't hear it, but it changes the tone of the scene, no?
Oh yes there's a very Dub-centric quote given during the Pre-Fusion. Though to be fair is is FAR better written. But what I was trying to say was that FUNi toned it down for the most part later on. Then we get that, lol. Though as far as the Dub goes, I love the dialogue.Eh, Goku still gives speeches later on. I know he goes on a long, drawn out speech about how he and Vejita have to fuse later in the series (I didn't watch the series much past Majin Vejita so I don't remember any other occurances). Besides, when Japanese Goku gives anything resembling a speech, it tends to be...well, Goku-ish. It's not very articulate and while it's sincere, it's...chock full of mountain-raised goodness?
Agreed to a degree. Like I said before, this is undeniably true. But like with the speeches, it gets toned down later on. Namek/Freeza Era Goku is definitely written very suuper hero-esque.Well, both Gokus like to fight, that's a given. However, they definitely did shift the emphasis on Goku's personality from a naive, childlike man who loves to fight to a Superman-like persona who fights to save the world.
Again, I'm inclined to agree to a point. I don't think all of the dimensions are lost in the Dub. Definitely less dimensional. I'd say especially on Piccolo's part. But Vegeta I think still retains a decent amount of depth to his character even though they focus more on the anger. Kunzait gave a prime example of the Dub doing Vegeta wrong with the scene when Freeza & Cold are arriving.As a result, however, they made Vejita (and everyone else) much more 2D. Sure, DragonBall isn't the best example of well-rounded characters, however FUNimation took characters with some great attributes and chose a single trait to focus on while ignoring the others. Goku is the hero guy (ed. note: lawl, you is the hero guy! ), Piccolo is the big scary guy, Vejita is the angry guy, Gohan is the innocent kid/guy, Krillin is the bumbling sidekick, Bulma and Chi-Chi are the raging sacks of hormones, Nappa and Reacoom are the big dumb muscleheads...etc.
You mean the impalement scene? I'm too lazy to check the Anime, but it was not in the Manga. So Toriyama clearly wasn't bringing it to the point where it's what he thought about at death. Though you've actually opened up my eyes to a point I overlooked. The whole reasoning behind the Jinzoningen Arc stuff. The Dub would make Kuririn's reaction seem more random. While with the Original you can go back and see his personality. I totally did not even think of that. Though I don't think he was fully thinking with his "man part" when deciding not to kill 18. Had she clearly been more evil I believe he would have done what was needed. But he's clearly the character who sees that the Jinzoningen are not pure evil.He says it many, many times in the original. Freeza is basically killing him and one of the thoughts to go through his head as he is dying is that he'll never get married if memory serves. So, obviously it's an important part of his character which comes into play massively when the Jinzoningen come into the picture.
