    One of my favorite things about the "Hey Freeza!" moment is that Freeza doesn't act surprised or mad that Trunks survived. He just yells "WHAT!?" It's like he's just angry that Trunks shouted at him.

      Tbh by the time he shoots it's like can you really blame him at that point.
      Reminds me of how Krillin dies in abridged. He went out on such an asshole note. Piccolo gets shot, Gohan is crying, and he's just like "Oh thank god, I thought that was gonna be me." Then when Freeza says "Remember my tail?" he's like "Can't you take a joke?" and just has this dopey ass smile on his face like omg

    • @neodav00001

      It fits perfect with what they were saying, too. Trunks is a teenager trying to look cool. For all his badass in this scene, he's ultimately still a kid, and that reaction is absolutely a kid going "eh? Eh? Get it?" when someone doesn't react like he expected them to. In that respect, Freeza actually got the measure of him incredibly quickly, calling him out as "a five-year-old trying to play police officer."

      @ruiromao5726 Před 2 měsíci +1

      As Lani has his theory about how was that attack strong enough to destroy the Earth or not, my theory is comparing it to bomb disposal. Frieza detonated his big ki ball with a small blast; I'm thinking THAT was what caused the size of the explosion, not the energy from his main attack. He used a small explosion to destroy his big bomb. There was some energy released, yes, but it wasn't the full force of the big ki ball as if it had exploded 'normally'.

    "This is gonna be really uncomfortable for me, I can't lie"
    Seriously, I can never get over how great a contrast you two make as a pair. You take turns being knowledgeable of what was happening in real life at the time of the episode versus what you were thinking at the writer's table, and where one of your minds fails the other inevitably steps in to fill in the rest. Lani brings in high energy and the visceral adoration side of the fanbase while Kaiser brings a drier enthusiasm and brings a deep appreciation of everything Dragonball, not just the shows. Watching either of you light up when a moment you take pride in is coming up brings a smile to my face, and even then, Lani goes fully into character and belts out the lines from the chest whether they were his or not, while Kaiser tends to mouth the line under his breath, and smirks during the great deliveries, both of them clearly taking pride in the team.

    One of my favorite character changes you did was making Trunks a big nerd who actually meets his heroes and becomes entirely disillusioned.
    I think it plays better with his trauma and how he's the only one who actually sees how badly things can turn out from all the bs his supposed heroes pull.
    The cool trunks from the original will always be nostalgic but this gave him way more depth than superhero from the future.

      Pretty sure that’s how it was. It’s implied that the future androids never went all out in front of Trunks (they’d supposedly never even used 50% until maybe when they killed Gohan) so his impression of their full power was extremely off and seeing the main timeline ones actually getting serious against the z-fighters convinced him that they were stronger than the ones he knew

      I’m late to Abridged only discovered it during the pandemic. I grew up watching the original dragon ball which aired before I caught my bus for grade school back in the 90s and DBZ when it came on Cartoon Network later. It’s amazing how much love the DBZA creators have for the work but able to inject their own humor without losing the essence of why we all love dragon ball. It’s the best kind of parody.

    I gotta say it's pretty funny how all the members of the cold clan were originally (technically) played by an OG member of the team and then were swapped to other newer people for the voices later.
    King Cold - Ben (Abridged)/DevilArtemis (HFIL)
    Freeza - Lani (Brief Gag)/LittleKuriboh (Actual VA)
    Cooler - Scott (Bardock)/Guerrero (RoC & Beyond)
    A fun pattern there shared by all of them by coincidence.

    Kaiser's delivery, announcing it so shamelessly, like it's this fantastic zinger
    Cutting back and forth from Trunks casually holding it with one hand to a dead silent Freeza
    The fact that dropped the ball means to mess up, so he's literally telllig Freeza, this super prideful character no one is allowed to sass, that he failed, over and over, and he's just sitting there taking it
    Cutting off the third, still super casual "dropped the ball" with this absolutely perfect Screech Of Rage from Freeza out of nowhere and instantly following it up with brutal laser and explosion sound effects

Like, MasakoX can do a bunch of other characters really well (as seen in his what-ifs), and the rest of the cast is also great, but Trunks is in another whole level (also special acknowledge to Kuriboh's Freeza and Taka's Cell)
