The amount of changes Funimation did to DBZ are a good demonstration of why so many people have a serious peeve against dubs and localization People want to enjoy the content as the author intended not as the LOCALIZERS intended.

They were far from the first to do it though. Harmony Gold did it. Dic did it. Anime was in a weird spot back then vs now.

The worst thing is that DBZ is hardly the only example. 4kids absolutely butchered anime back in the day. I do find some dubisms and edits to be rather funny though

Omiting Death is not the same as changing entire paragraphs to something else
