Random, but there are many animated movies or series I cannot loving stand because of a certain voice. How to Train Your Dragon, the loving main character Hiccup. His voice is so annoying. All the Ice Age movies because Ray Romano never shifted from his usual voice. Tony Jay had a perfect deep loving voice that was nowhere near anyone like tara strong or scott mcneil's, but damnit it never was horrible.

The Croogs was terrible in many ways, but the fact caveman Nic Cage sounds just like regular Nic Cage was really annoying.

Hiccup sounds like a smarmy 30 year old surrounded by people he doesn’t want to respect, no matter how much better than him they are. Just the worst voice for that character.

My very simple one for the umbrella academy is that there would be no way you’d have your eye ripped out and be fitted for a fake eye in less than 24 hours. Edit: Never mind. Looks like a timeline change Edit 2: it’s been said but goddamn monkey, maybe clue some people in you rear end in a top hat. AFewBricksShy has a new favorite as of 03:08 on Mar 3, 2019 |

This except I get irrationally irritated when i recognize and KNOW the voice but can't for the life of me pin it down. I find it incredibly distracting and will often pause to go look up the cast just so can get over it and enjoy the film.

UA also did the sin of giving away in the episode what was going to happen in That Episode The Day That Wasn't and then the title of the next episode being The Day That Was. All it existed to do was to put together key plot points that the viewers probably missed by that point because of either poor pacing, unclear dialogue, or general fuckery, and put it into a nice even package for you to go "Oh, okay, that's what's going on," and then undo it so they can tell a different story and you just yell at the characters some more for being complete idiots. With Klaus, I know there's the scene where his brother punches someone, and then Hargreeves says "You don't know your potential", but then he straight up, with no practicing or focusing, only a few lines of "What does that mean", astral projects his dead brother forward. Like nah, I'd buy it if he was able to do more on his own will, but to go from 0-100 like that is bad story telling.

I dunno, I thought his voice was fitting for an awkward teenager who has trouble fitting in. But there's a common thing with movies where while the adults at least try to affect the relevant accent, the kids are all American. (or British) Because it's a lot harder to ship over kids with the right accent and all.

It's a pretty common thing where TV animation has a long history and a lot of experienced voice actors with wide ranges (who tend to be so prolific that it leads to some amusing role crossover, and often also appear in video games) who sometimes get work in movies, and then modern CGI blockbusters have celebrity voice actors who half the time phone or in or just use their regular voice.

The 90s were a particularly weird time for this; there were two billion celebrity starlets and approximately three female voice actors. If you watched anything animated and didn't see Tress MacNeille or Kath Soucie's names it was sort of a shock. See also: Rob Paulson being in basically everything, Nolan goddamn North

Tara Strong, Rob Paulsen, and Steve Blum. They're everywhere And, in some shows even today, you have different singing voices, but the small but prolific talent pool can mean characters will talk to each other, and then sing to each other but in the opposite roles. Or talk to themselves in a scene (John DiMaggio has quite a few of these). Queen Combat has a new favorite as of 05:56 on Mar 3, 2019 |

And the funny thing is, it goes way back to the birth of the medium. Mel Blanc was a famous man of a thousand voices. And radio shows often did something similar.

Movie villains that only make sense because of movie magic. When it's something like John Wick which isn't really meant to be taken super seriously in terms of how everyone is terrified of him like he's some supernatural being I don't really mind it. In Blackway though, it's like if John Wick was the bad guy but they don't even try to justify it. You're just supposed to buy that this Blackway guy is scary because he has a spooky name and kills people sometimes. He's just some dude. If it was real life where he can't teleport and know exactly where you are at all times like he's wallhacking, all you'd have to do is shoot/arrest him. But instead of that we just get an hour+ of anthony hopkins asking where blackway is and townsfolk being "oh you don't want to find blackway". also almost all of julia stiles's roles annoy me but this one is pretty bad. She doesn't really do anything most of the movie except sit in the back seat and let the old dude do all the work.

Klaus slowly builds his powers, and spends like 3 episodes in a drug bender talking about how he can't use his powers when on drugs. Then he sobers up and GOES TO NAM where he has a major experience and... bah like... no. This was very much built up and established.

Number 5 too. Overall, the greatest improvement in the series was making everyone much more likable. Yes, they are worse in the comic. Even Diego.

I'm aware of all of that, and him needing to be sober, but unless i was looking away at a moment in my watch through, I don't remember him practicing bringing projections of individuals into the real world

It was simultaneously better and worse than the comic ending imo. In the comic Klaus pretends to channel their dad and rolls a 20 on his bluff check which makes Vanya stop playing and ends the apocalypse early. there is still the giant meteor but Klaus stops it with surprise telekinesis

And there were several occasions when Ben affected the physical world at least an episode before he went full Ghost horror, including rescuing Diego(?) during Vanya(?)'s attack on the mansion. It felt pretty well developed to me.

Klaus powers in the comic weren't delved deeply much and was pretty much "psychic bullshit", he flew around, moved objects, talked to some spirits. I like that one moment because it goes something like "Everyone knew the Seanse(?) had telekinesis powers but no one expected him to stop a giant rear end space rock. Not even him." and his face of total surprise.

This was very much built up and established. no it wasnt he got high af until the last few including the day that happened episode. He has two practice scenes in both of those episodes one is patty cake with ben and the other is throwing the bowling ball for ben to catch it both show that he can't figure it out. I think him using the power is more of a reflex of bens strong feelings towards his siblings and being pissed he cant help. For example he slaps klaus because he is about to go get high yet again and he is getting pissed that klaus is loving around post nam. He saves diego while klaus is impotently shrugging his shoulders at ben. It's not well built up but if its the ghost hijacking his body it makes sense with in what is shown in the show.
