Considering that Matt Greenfield did both subtitles & ADR, & the ADR was 
different, shows changes were made. With the Platinum (=Rebuild) releases, 
ADV had a more (but not completely) accurate subtitle translation, with less 
hack paraphrasing which is even more different than the dub dialogue.

Dubs & subs are 2 different types of entertainment & mindsets for watching a 
show IMO. The majority audiences have different tastes & expectations.  They 
should never be compared. Its bicycles v tricycles.
