Maybe because it is?
If you don't really care about the characters, maybe.

Far from it. But if that English version is bloody awful, it might.
You know, I'm not some snob that just hates English dubs for the sake of it. I hate terrible ones.

Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Simpletons? Jesus Fucking Tapdancing Christ. None of us are going to rally around a viewpoint we otherwise agree with you on if you're going to fall back on your "look at me be the biggest asshat I can be" ways.
You've been warned enough times. I'm not going to let it fly again. Find better ways to say things here or you are jut flat-out done and gone for good.

Answer me this, who here is from Japan or at least watched the original version of Dragon Ball before a single dub was ever released? I think it is ok to like any version you wish. The original is better to watch in so many ways while the dub is preferred by a lot of people.

Something tells me I'm going to enjoy the new villains. I wonder who their voice actors will be if this get's dubbed by Funimation.

My YouTube
Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

If it's a Z dub, then no, it isn't.

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Which dub though? Early FUNi? Late FUNi? Ocean? FUNi Z Kai?

Folks, this is neither the time nor the place to start comparing and theorizing about a dub that doesn't even exist. Please enjoy the excitement of new material period for the time being -- the rest can certainly come later when appropriate.

Yes, I like Tenshinhan's new outfit. The darker colors look really good on him.
Also liking 18's purple/black shirt and Kamesennin's dark pink one.
There's so little of Vegeta in the trailer; I want another hint of what crazy thing Birusu or Uisu might do to him in this movie that results in that expression/pose his tie-in movie-figurine has.
On hiatus.

Not quite yet, there isn't a high quality version of this trailer. And it'a new, Krillin is wearing something similar. Maybe they go back to training together?

Honestly I think the dub is WAAAAAY over bashed. Yes it has it's problems but people here treat the entire thing like it's the early portion of the season 3 dub. Anyway I wonder if we will get a special ending theme like with the other movie's, i.e Hero (You Are The Hero).

Well he did throw the freaking sun at Goku.
But wouldn't Vegeta want to be "the one who gets to defeat Kakarrotto." and not allow anyone else, including Birusu, to take that away from him?
Or do you mean in terms of whatever Birusu does to Vegeta must be
really brain-breaking seeing as he's capable of throwing the sun around like a beach-ball? I might be misunderstanding here; sorry if I am.

Seeing that Birusu is too strong for him.
If Vegeta does fight Birusu, I could imagine the fight with Final Form Frieza happening again. Vegeta loses his will to fight, and pays the price.
