All the Vic fans constantly hype up how he's gonna win when he takes them to court.
I wonder what the narrative will be if he looses?
Probably something ridiculous like FUNimation paid the jury off lol

I just have to imagine how warped your world view must be to think that two major companies and who knows how many people would apparently just all work together to just decide "yeah I'm gonna screw this guy over" for no benefit."Of course we knew they would win.

yeah like they wanted the inevitable backlash from Vic's fans from all of this, like no It's more important that we screw over a guy who hasn't had a big VA role in yearsI just have to imagine how warped your world view must be to think that two major companies and who knows how many people would apparently just all work together to just decide "yeah I'm gonna screw this guy over" for no benefit.

It's covered in thread but it's believed his contract with the convention specified penalties for unilateral cancellation with no exit clause (for, say, proven history of sexual harassment). Normally this isn't an issue since the normal thing to do is to silently bow out and hope it blows over, but Vic ended up forcing the con to let him back on or he would seek the penalties the convention's own contract stipulated.So.... how did Vic get back into Kamehecon? And this killed the con?

The end result was, of course, most of the convention's other guests cancelling their appearance at the Texas event.
Kamehacon in Europe just recently announced they were no longer happening but it's not known if this is directly related to the Vic situation.
It's got to be illegal or at least unethicalSo the lawyers initiated a crowdfunding campaign which fleeced Vic's gullible fans for $160k, and then tempted Vic to give them the green light and burn down what was left of his ruined career with the lure of "free lawyers", and now they're cutting into Vic for at least 80k so far (I guess they're using the sunk cost fallacy)?
It'd be hilarious if it wasn't actively causing more harm to Vic's victims.
Looking at the guest list Vic is going to need to corner the market in general purpose comic/fan conventions that aren't otherwise bringing in anime voice acting talent that will blacklist them or pull out because he's not getting in anywhere else. That said, he can probably still milk this racket for another few years until even the Dragonball crowd has little to no interest in him.Haven't read the thread at all but dude's been chilling in Puerto Rico for our Comic Con and looks like most here don't really care about this whole thing.
He could just phone in his lines. Like usual.I wonder if Mignogna ends up going to jail how it will affect Prince Adventures.
My favorite thing in life is to see someone verbally brutalize assholes who think they're hot shit
I said damn.
I find it funny that the DB fandom seems to have had his most vocal supporters when it involves a roll he's frequently complained about and how minor it felt in comparison to other characters he played.Looking at the guest list Vic is going to need to corner the market in general purpose comic/fan conventions that aren't otherwise bringing in anime voice acting talent that will blacklist them or pull out because he's not getting in anywhere else.

for real i saw some dumbass on twitter say that Broly was the most popular Saiyan and I was like...fucking seriously?I said damn.

When I thought of Vic it was Ed, Junpei, or Qrow, but no it's the one where 90% of his dialogue is screaming that's important now.
I'm hoping whoever has to replace him as Broly doesn't get shit from his fanbase. Same for whoever ends up as Qrow.

As popular as Broly is he doesn't come close to Goku or Vegeta, those two are dragon ball pretty much...actually, that might not be untrue, because I remember Americans used to rave like mad for Broly during the series height of popularity in earlier years, but... most people didn't even know Vic Mignogna voiced Broly in those movies. In fact, it wasn't until really the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie when people became more conscious of this anyways, less due to controversies, but just more due to general cast announcements. Like the previous poster said, most people know Vic for his other works, including the acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist series as Edward Elric.
So yeah, uh... Vic's association with Broly is more of a recent thing, and I dare say it's simply because of the controversy this stuck. Don't know where the hell these fans saying "Vic made Broly" came from recently, because no one really knew it was him.
Even on the Japanese side of things, I had no idea that it was Bin Shimada (someone who I really like for his vocal work and range) until looking at his credit roles and was like "Wait, seriously?". I feel it's mostly because he's just a one dimensional character, and was up until this new movie...

Broly is also very popular in Japan. He had three movies before American audiences were ever even introduced to Dragon Ball, after all.
Broly is popular, he isn't popular because of Vic though, there's a difference there.
Oh yeah, the irony was totally lost on me there, but yeah in the movie he does stop one drunk guy who was annoying Cheelai.Also, it was pointed out to me that the canon Broly has to be held back to keep from pummeling a sexual harasser.
That's the thing here. People keep saying "Broly was never actually popular" as if that means Vic sucks, but that's not the case. People LOVE Broly, he just also happens to be voiced by Mignogna.Broly is popular, he isn't popular because of Vic though, there's a difference there.
It's gonna be weird to have OG Broly with Vic's voice and Nu Broly with a different voice.Lots of people still don't know who voices Broly even now. Outside of the alt-right assholes who are riding with Vic, most probably won't even notice that Broly's voice got changed whenever he shows up in FighterZ.
If the replacement does even a half way decent job of mimicking Vic then I doubt anyone will really notice outside the folks paying attention to this whole situation. Shit, Broly is still going to be mostly screaming.It's gonna be weird to have OG Broly with Vic's voice and Nu Broly with a different voice.
What's funny is that OG Broly's most iconic line wasn't even used in the dub.
"A monster? No, I'm the devil"
