Why Vic Mignogna isn't Baby[]

Okay, apparently linking to an email I got from Mike McFarland himself isn't convincing some people.  So let me explain why Mignogna's being credited was a problem in the first place.


1) Great Ape (Baby)'s voice in UT has changed from his original take from GT, now taking more from his performance as Buggy the Clown in One Piece.

2) Funimation has a history of providing inaccurate information in its credits, and Vic Mignogna as Baby is just one of the latest ones.  Previous occurrances include:

  • David Kaye being credited for Recoome in the in-game credits for Budokai 2
  • Chris Sabat being credited for Cell in the manual credits for Super Dragon Ball Z
  • A whole slew of inconsistencies between the manual, in-game credits, and gallery of Tenkaichi 3, as found here, some of the biggest being Appule credited to Kyle Hebert and Chris Patton and Jason Liebrecht's roles being swapped. The manual is the most correct of the three.
  • Chris Sabat being credited for Ox King in both Dead Zone and World's Strongest Funimation dubs

Do you understand why Mignogna being Baby is wrong in every conceivable way yet?  The credits can get screwed up, the voice in itself can be proved to be someone else just by listening, and I have confirmation from the correct actor himself. This should no longer be an issue, and I hope the users of this wiki can realize this in good time. HubStyle (talk) 13:37, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
