I guess you could say I'm 'lucky' enough to have followed her on twitter before she decided to protect her tweets. Cause I can still see them.

The best part about that scene is Goku isn't being malicious or trying to get a rise out of Vegeta at all, he's just being really honest.

He causes Vegeta to have a mental breakdown with honesty, amazing.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Vegeta is a massive manchild, it's only natural that he has a huge breakdown because Goku is stronger then he is.

Looking back on that video of Vegeta, it becomes apparent that thinking was not a free action. He's visibly losing his shit, but Tien forgets he's even there, and Goku just leaves.

Though now that I think about it, TFS did do the reverse when Vegeta and Trunks left it and Vegeta started bragging about being stronger than Goku. All Goku said in response was "Neat" and that still pissed Vegeta off. [lol]

Yeah, it's actually impossible not to make Vegeta break down when his Goku Button is pressed. Hence the whole "YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOUR DAD IS A SUPER SAIYAN YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME!" thing exists.

Of course, he just has a no-win temper. When Gohan said "no", Vegeta said that was the "WRONG ANSWER!", same as Yajirobe not being able to win when commenting on Vegeta's dad.

Shit, was the dub acting always that bad in the original Funimation dub?

[up] Mostly yeah, there were some places during the Frieza that were even worse. It kinda improved over time, Kai ended up much better.

Back then they were just trying to dub them as fast as possible to keep up with the shows were airing daily on CN.

[up] I've watched a good deal of the Kai dub, it is MUCH better. I just wish they'd put out an English dub for the Buu saga part of Kai already.

Shortening Goku's Super Saiyan 3 transformation from 7 hours to only 3.

Which reminds me, given that Goku transforming to 3 never takes him that long again, was he deliberately making the transformation take longer as a stalling tactic?

I don't think it took that long in the manga but he might have drawn it out a bit since he was only there to buy time.

Thing to keep in mind is that it was more of a result of the direction. They were directed to try and match the Ocean Dub voices.

And it was his first time using it in the land of the living. Could be that it took more effort than he expected.

[up][up] Well no wonder they sounded bad.

I mean, I remember watching this comparison between the Ocean Dub and the Funimation Dub's take on Tien's death in the Saiyan saga, and the Ocean Dub has him say "Alright guys, this three-eyed cowboy is going for one last ride!"...

This is a statement so damn stupid I can't even begin to explain just why it sucks, all I can do is point it out and laugh.

The original Dragon Ball has a pretty good dub from what I found.

I thought just occured to me, I'm actually surprised that Vegeta is attached to wearing Battle Armor considering it can be seen as a symbol of his people's subjugation to Freeza.

In the Broly movies, I bet they're going to have a lot of fun with Broly's almost-ridiculously-brutal fighting style, given what they tend to do with needlessly savage attacks in general.

Hell, in the first movie he drags Gohan fist first through a building. In Second Coming there's the extended "squishing Gohan's guts" sequence. In Bio-Broly at one point the clone beats up Krillin and 18 with Goten.

And that's just the crap he does to Goku's kids.

Goku does say after he's transformed that it was one of the first times he ever had to transform into a Super Saiyan 3 (Paraphrasing), so he just doesn't have much experience with the form.
