His design is boring, his body build is basic, and he has no personality. He can barely even talk!

The only thing I don't like about him is his penis shaped head. Other than that, he's a badass character.

I know this is a Jiren joke but Mr. Penis Head's design was never boring you heathen.

It's a little known fact that Hit has a lovely singing voice.

Bottom one is my favourite. And Gohans face really reminds me of him as a kid there. Whereas I can barely see that in him now the way he's drawn in super.As much as I dislike Saiyaman, save for that hilarious filler two-parter, can we get Gohan back in this outfit? I mean, he has it on him at all times.
It was like the one time he wasn't ripping off someone else. Not that it was an issue when he had Piccolo's clothes, but him in the Goku ki just makes him feel like he isn't his own character.
At the very least bring this back.

Animation in the new preview is sexy.
Hit in the dub is okay, I was kinda hoping he'd try to make his voice sound older.
Funimation completely ruined Magetta, I'm legit upset about that, what the actual fuck were they thinking? They should have just used the Japanese voice clips for him.

Let's take this guy who isn't supposed to be an actual robot, just a man made of metal, and get rid of his normal human voice that just says one line that is gibberish and make him a fucking meme text to speech robot.
Great idea!
I can't believe this shit.

Personally liked Magetta's English voice. *shrugged*
Also, the Japanese voice never sound like "guy who isn't supposed to be an actual robot" to me.

It's literally just a dude saying "Choo-po" in Japanese.
So, he's a Pokemon in Japanese? Like I said, he never sound normal to me.

Yamcha gonna wow everyone. What a legend.
personally i thought it was hilarious and the fact that he sounds like that adds to the 'wait he's really not a robot?' factor to me
At the very least bring this back.
This.
Holy fuck thats bad, and holy fuck Champa is also bad.

English Magetta is great, makes me like him more.
Personally, I think that was joke, which I found funny. The Japanese version have similar joke since Magetta just says the same thing over-over-over again like he's stuck in a feedback loop (or a Pokemon).
what? english champa is amazing

Im right there with you
This is a heinous crime
E: the dub doesn't give Magetta an expressive voice at all..it's literally just monotone which is really dumb
Nah.
Sorry to say you're on the minority on that. Funny how opinions work.
What memorable impressive are you thinking of?

I feel like his voice actor was cast based upon his lines from the first few episodes when it appears he might be some sort of antagonist. When really, he's just a goofier Beerus. His voice doesn't fit.

I'm not a fan of English champa either
His voice is mostly just angry sounding

They basically made him into a non character
Champa is an antagonist. Doesn't matter if he's a goofier Beerus, who was also an antagonist.
Fulminator

It does matter because it should be reflected in his acting, that's his character
Nah to both.
Magetta is a minor character who only has one line. As another poster pointed out, 50% of his character is other characters doubting he's biological, so having a robot voice feeds into that rather than detracts. Plus, part of the joke is that his only line is an onomatopoeia. Having someone say it is a bit amusing, but it's downright hilarious when they go out of their way to make a machine say the word for a train moving when they can clearly just play the sound of one at that point,
And their Champa sounds goofy enough to me! He's Beerus' snotty little brother; he's got a good "whiny brat who grew up without maturing" quality to his voice. I think he was cast with that in mind, & the Dub is nailing it.

That will probably come later, at the very least he's down to just his blue shirt by the time he transforms.
Magetta isn't supposed to be a robot, giving him a stupid fucking meme voice completely ruins it. Not only that they decided to go one step further and have him say stupid shit like "Clankity Clankity" and "Gulp gulp".
Magetta in the dub is fucking horrendous and is a pointless change that only shows a lack of respect for the source material.

The problem with Magetta is that there's not going to be any expression to his voice...when he makes the surprised, shocked face when Vegeta insults him, it's literally just going to be a monotone robot voice. It won't fit at all.
Yeah now i'm just gonna have to disagree with that completely...lack of respect for the source material, I think you're taking a change that you don't like too personally. Like many people have said in the past dubbing isn't about translating everything verbatim it's about adapting material in a way that makes sense and entertains the audience and while I can respect that you don't like what they did with Magetta I would never say they don't respect the original.

They turned a legitimate and interesting character (even if he's a minor character) into a complete joke. I would say that's pretty disrespectful. He's barely even a character any more, just a walking joke.
Doesn't changed that Champa is an antagonist and Champa sounds 'goofy' in the dub, so I am not sure what is the complaint here. That he doesn't sound enough like Beerus.
So him saying the same phase over again wasn't a joke?
Reactions like this make me want to pull out a violin. Especially even in the original version, people were wondering if Magetta was a robot not only based on his look, but also his speech.

Adapting doesn't mean completely changing. Characters having different voices is fine and changing lines to work better in English is as well, but they completely changed Magetta into something he's not.
They took a character Toriyama created and replaced him with a meme bot. Magetta in the dub is a perfect example of what NOT to do in a dub.
Fulminator

Probably around 8 pm, between 9 and 10 on Crunchyroll
But they didn't completely changed the character.
Seriously, turned the drama down 100. You don't like dub Magetta, fine. But "completely changing" his character. Talk about hyperbolic. Also, it isn't like Toriyama personally chose Magetta's voice. As far as you know, anime Magetta is how Toei saw his character, not Toriyama himself. So this "They took a character Toriyama created" is a little weird coming for you.
The thing about it for me though is his voice has never really been a big part of his character for me....his body language has always been the most important part of his personality imo and Magetta's always been pretty goofy too so I don't mind if his voice is pretty jokey,
also Champa sounds perfect to me in english he's like a brattier Beerus with a whinier voice and that's pretty much jp Champa to a tee

Yes they did, he's now a meme bot with zero emotion to his voice and he now stupidly announces sound effects.

I don't really think Champa sounds good, I think the majority of the time his voice just sounds angry. I feel like he should have a more mischevious, slightly more childish voice. I mean it's ok in the dub, but I don't think it's good.
The choo po is meant to be comedic, yes, but he still has an expressive range of voice, and the choo po has no comedic precedent either. With the monotone robot voice you get zero vocal expression, which is weird in conjunction with Magettas facial expression, and the robot voice makes you think of dumb robots from the past
I accept that the funi team probably though it would be a funny decision, and it seems it was a hit with a lot of the folks here, which is fine, but I do think it makes Magetta less of a legitimate character
