Correct if wrong. Freeza is considered laughably evil because the original English dub gave him a raspy old lady smoker voice and had a scene where (s)he says "These balls make me feel something resembling joy. I want to carcass them." Which exposed the eighties and nineties "anime" fans for the homophobes that they were and had some little kids thinking Freezer was a girl until (s)he boasted to be the strongest man in the universe.

I've played quite a few Dragon Ball video games. I like old lady smoker Freezer.

According to this Japanese article, Goku Black's motivation is to kill off the HUMAN race.

That's a very specific motivation, I wonder what for...

With the threat of the artificial humans resolved, a new menace threatens the world of the future! A man suddenly appears and goes on a rampage, driving humanity to the brink of extinction. Future Trunks resists, but even the power of a Super Saiyan is no match for this man called “Black”. Future Bulma resolves to ask for help from Goku and Vegeta in the world of the past. After taking half a year to gather enough fuel for a one-way trip in the time machine, the formidable foe “Black” bars Bulma and Trunks’ way!

They talk about him like he's not Goku yet. Maybe he doesn't fuse with Goku until a later point. Maybe he's an entirely different villain to start with, and shit really hits the fan when he takes over Goku's body and—

Oh goddammit, it's Baby.

Overall, is Frieza only Laughably Evil in the early dubs, but everywhere else he's played completely straight?

#39637: Jun 3rd 2016 at 10:20:30 AM

These exist. SFF.

And yes, I like Linda Young Frieza too. Evil chain smoker and all.

Whether Frieza's laughably evil is anyone's game, there's no objective answer if that's what you want. There are points in the Ocean dub where Vegeta's voice sounds epic, and parts where it sounds awful.

Good grief, that last voice sounded...amazing.

There's a Freezerator who was actually a chain-smoker.

So, uh... if it's a "one-way trip", then the future is doomed, right?

At this point Future Trunks and Bulma and the rest of the android survivors should just mass-emigrate across time to the "prime" timeline.

Considering how DB time travel works, there're pretty much no negatives to living in the prime past..

  • Shenron: State your wish and I will grant it.
  • Trunks: I want you to take everyone except the Androids from my timeline and create a new timeline to put them in.
  • Dende: This sounds awfully familiar.

Why specify Android inclusion, by God they're already dead!

Maybe Tunks' is just a jerk to #18.

I'd love to see Future Trunks hang out with #18 in Super, just because of how deliciously awkward it would undoubtedly be.

I've actually never understood it when people said that Freeza was funny. Latin Freeza had a very manly voice.

I was surprised to find he was given an evil old lady chain smoker voice in US dubs myself. The brazilian dub also gave him a deep voice, so none of the ones in the video Soble posted really "fit" the character for me. Chris Ayres is the best one out of the bunch to me.

His Japanese voice is also very manly, and kinda similar to the one Reyero gave him.

And seriously, cranky librarian chainsmoker Freeza's incredibly funny for me simply because of the disconnect between that and how I know him.

I also find it funny that Norio Wakamoto of all people is Cell, mostly because memes and also because he just sounds way too old to be Cell lol. Apparently there were children coming up to his house and playing at that fact while Dragon Ball was running, and Wakamoto took it in stride (i forget how the story went and idk if it's even true).
