Is a couple tiny gaps really worth redoing your whole method over? Sounds like he just wanted to show off with that poplar scrap.

I read an interview with a voice actor once who said dubs have to fit the mouth flaps, so they end up cutting or squishing lines that don't fit. That stuck with me because it explains why some jokes just vanish in English. Subs let the translators keep the whole line, puns and all, even when it's clunky. I still do dubs for background shows and subs for anything I actually care about. Brotherhood is one where the sub is worth the full attention.

Ever try soaking the bent ones in vinegar to loosen the rust?
