Either way, we have a few years before this comes up. They have to finish the series first. We can work out the legal issues then.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

There's also the question of if they'll even want to abridge Super. I hear they dislike GT too much to abridge it...

Super isn't that bad.

Like, I've hard unflattering things about some episodes, but I never got a GT-tier feel from them.

I have a message from another time...

I wish Dragon Ball Heroes could get a release in the west. I need more freaking out about Super 17 absorbing 16.

Super is still airing. Judgement towards it should wait until after it ends.

GT still sucks monkey cock, though.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

[up][up][up][up] well, it depends on their view. TFS may very well end up disliking Super enough to have no interest in it.

There are some fans who think Super is worse than GT so far. I find them hard to compare, even when you ignore that Super is ongoing.

Too recent, it could draw people away from watching them. Just because they have a valid legal defense doesn't mean they can do something that might sour their relationship with the copyright holders.

That and TFS is tight with some of the Funimation Regulars like Chris Sabat, so I'd imagine they'd partly did it out of respect too.

GT was bad but not THAT bad, so many questionable choices.

Super isn't bad really aside from animation issues, which is standard for Dragon ball as the DBA episode 50 breakdown shows off.

Both throw quite a bit of continuity out the window.

Dragon Ball Super is a beautiful work of art solely because it contains this scene.

GT is pretty bad, though it had some nice fight scenes at least, with Baby and Omega anyway.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

It had a LOT of potential, though. The Shadow Dragons and Baby were good ideas, but the execution was horrendous.

Well, I never watched DBZ or GT prior to the Abridged series, but design-wise, I like the Super Saiyan 4 form. At least it tried something else than "color his hair differently / make them grow !".

GT stands for Goku Time. Also, Kid Goku felt contrived, Super 17 was quite nonsensical, and all in all could be far better.

Also, Super Saiyan 4 could be handled better...

I've noted it before, but "could be handled better" might as well be GT's catchphrase. Full of interesting ideas, and the potential is certainly there, but the execution completely ruins it.

So I know we're done with it, but even if we don't see a Abridged dub of Revival of F anytime soon, you know what I want to see when Vegeta gets his turn?tongue

Frieza: Oh that's so cute. Vegeta wants his turn.

Vegeta: That's right Frieza! But I should warn you.....

Frieza: Let me guess: I'm not dealing with the average Saiyan Warrior anymore!

Vegeta: ........

Frieza(In an extremely mocking voice): You've risen beyond the normal limits of a Saiyan and entered the realm of legend! The Legend that I fear! The legend known throughout the entire universe as the most powerful warrior to ever exist!

Vegeta: .....

Frieza: Oh! I apologize! Did I interrupt your stupid speech! We went through this joke 3 times already Vegeta!

Vegeta: ....... ~Vegeta goes Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan~

Frieza: .............what.......

Vegeta: Does this look like a joke to you? ~Beats the shit out of Frieza~

Frieza: No! This is impossible! This is......

Vegeta: Now say it with me! I know you can do it! I....Prince Vegeta, have become.......a.......

Frieza: Super......saiyan........

Vegeta: WRONG!!!!!! ~slaps frieze around a bit more~I was a Super Saiyan for years you lizard bitch! Now....... I'M A GOD!!!!!

Note that there has to be a least one Stop hitting yourself gag where Vegeta is the one hitting Frieza.cool

I'd like to think it will happen some day, but probably not until Super is finished and totally dubbed, but when it does, up until he moment where Frieza rage quits and denies Vegeta the final victory, it will be glorious.

Man, it's been a while since I saw the guys lose a Parallel Quest. This is also the first quest they lost against through time-out.

This...no it isn't. The quest they deemed unbeatable "Power Berserkers" was due to the time-limit.
