I give you simple reasons why not support this bad dubs and you guys still support them anyway. The answer to that is that I was being a hypocrite. I've never really watched any 4Kids dubs like I have with the Glitter Forces. The closest I've come is the first episode of Pokemon and some clips from Mew Mew Power. I have seen two sub/dub comparisons for Mew Mew Power, but I shouldn't have said that I hated a dub that I'd never watched.

I will say that when it comes to a dub, I value good acting over faithfulness to the original version. Bad acting, which is prevalent in the 4Kids clips I've seen, can take me right out of a show. This is why episode 1 is my least favorite episode of Glitter Force; the acting isn't on par with the high standards the rest of the show sets. Edits, on the other hand, don't ruin a dub. They can make them inferior to the original (and they do, in the case of Glitter Force and Glitter Force Doki Doki), but they don't make it bad on its own like bad acting does.

To be honest, if I had to choose between Glitter Force and faithful dubs, I'd pick the latter. I'd still miss Glitter Force because I enjoy making my sub/dub comparisons, but I know that the gain would be worth the cost. However, I don't think that we have much control over what happens, and I do like Glitter Force, even if it isn't as good as what we could get. So, if a faithful dub comes out, I'll support that. If a new Glitter Force comes out, I'll support that. And if a faithful dub under the Glitter Force name comes out (which I think is a legitimate possibility), I'll definitely support that.

I'm sorry for making you mad. I don't want to ruin the Pretty Cure experience for you.
