I'm confused. Isn't Dragon Ball a Japanese franchise?
The English dub gave him an Australian accent
Is it actually an Australian accent or is it an American attempting and failing to do an Australian accent? It sounds off to me.
EDIT: Seems like he is Canadian.
Lol a salty canuck trolling on his aussie brothers with fake space aussie voice over
I often see people talk about "tall-poppy syndrome" as an innately negative thing. Personally, I see the phrase itself as entirely neutral, and I view the cultural trait it represents as a mostly good thing. The article claims "ambitious actors have to go to Hollywood to become rich and famous", but I don't think that's because of Australian culture. It's because of the size of the American economy and the scale of Hollywood.
Look at the most famous Australian actors, even the ones in America, and they're a far cry from the egotist that is the stereotype of an American actor—though America also has its fair share of "down to earth" celebrities too. I don't think our culture stops us from succeeding at all, it just stops us being arses about it, or succeeding in as many predatory ways.
view the cultural trait it represents as a mostly good thing
I disagree. We should hate people for what they do, not because they happen to be tall. The world is full of nice people who happen to be tall.
U guys made a national hero out of a fictional crocodile Hunter with a big knife, lol
