I'm completely indifferent to it, but saying his irrelevant self is ruined is never not humorous to me.
Honestly, I'm into it. It gives him more character than he had before.

Holy fucking shit.
I just saw his fight with Vegeta in the English dub... What the fuck were they thinking?
I always appreciate well done fan animations, even if they're a bit overwrought.
This particular animator does good work tho.
Too much time watching TFS's DBZA. It's the type of joke they'd do.
And as much as I love DBZA this and that are two different things.

Not every funny thing Funi does is TFS inspired, especially when a lot of TFS jokes an old hat and they just adapted them.

indeed the animation was good and the music as well
even though it is sprite based he put in some depth of feild and warping techniques
of course the plot is lol but seeing Goku Black with Baby Vegeta and ss4 broly showcases how good Goku black's design is to the others
Baby Vegeta's supersayain form is still hideous to this day
Just watched it too, really glad they didn't take that route in the Latam dub.

Most GT designs are pretty terrible for me.
I think the only villain design I actually like from it is Omega Shenron.

You are not the only one. Hopefully he'll torture them first, then eliminate them.
Baby as a white-haired Vegeta was fine. It wasn't until he into his 'final form' that it became butt ugly. Super 17 would have been fine, if they didn't try so hard for that cool factor.
A lot of the Shadow Dragons looked fined outside of maybe two of them.
the evil eyeliner sucks
It's the Frieza way.
No, but I mean, hopefully?

The dub ruined Magetta tho
It really didn't, but people seems to have a loose definition of 'ruin'.
How?

Dub Magetta is complete trash.
What was so impressive with Pokemon Magetta that Funi trampled on?

I think I've gotten used to seeing Frieza standing alongside the good guys.

Why does something have to be impressive for a dubbing studio to respect the original material and not completely change a character?
Magetta was a cute little character, now he's annoying meme trash that completely misses the point and I absolutely hate it.

By destroying any degree of character that was present before
What character? If anything they gave him more character.
What was his best line?

My main complaint is that I can't understand what he's saying, but this seems like such a bizarre overreaction.
So he went from a character that can only say "Cho-po" to one that talks in a robot voice. If a joke doesn't translate then it needs to be changed so it does, that's how translation works.
Again, what was his best line, in your opinion?
That's the thing, Magetta was never cute to me. It was his animation and fighting style that made him interesting to me, not his speaking pattern which was a Pokemon. Funi didn't miss the point at all since even in the Japanese subs, characters thought he was a dumb robot by the way he spoke.
So the 'completely change a character', is BS. They changed little since Magetta's character wasn't in his voice since again, he just said the same thing over and over again and everyone thought he was robot.
Cho-po, perhaps?

This is my thing about it.
Especially people going on about it being a "funny meme". Is the Japanese version not its own attempt at humor too?
OverallI don't think it's that important.

The lines are irrelevant in this case. The dub didn't even need to do the choo po. Just something that allows Magetta to express emotion through his voice instead of being text to speech
I'm rolling my eyes. The joke didn't translate over so they adapted it so it did. The guy was literally a Pokemon in Japanese. You sound like they changed the core of the character.
Machine Robot kid -> text to speech meme machine
Ugh, gonna have to agree
Adorable sensitive robot that goes "choo-po!" Who's Irrelevant to the plot > Generic "Affirmative!" Robot who's irrelevant to the plot
That said, I still think it's not that important.
Sanji is a major character so that was waaaaaay more egregious
That's the thing. Even in the Japanese version they thought Magetta was a robot by his speaking pattern and other oddities. To me, it seems Funi took that quirk and made it more apparent, probably because just saying the same thing doesn't invoked 'robot' to people in North American.
I don't know and I think you should just asked Sabat about the change instead of jumping on the 'they copied TFS' or 'meme bot' train.
Although, I will still say that 'changing his character' is full of it since Magetta could have been mute and still be the same character since most of what Magetta is is in his animation and the way he carried himself, imo.
I think you miss joke then. Magetta being sensitive wasn't revealed until he lost to Vegeta. Before then, everyone in the cast thought he was a machine.
