Hanging out with voice artists, especially the ones who just do imaging or basic voiceover stuff is really wild. It's like oh I'm just hanging out with History Channel, we're talking music or SciFi channel is ranting about Jessica Alba's chest, or Mr Next Time On Monk is taking about putting a bike courier in a headlock.

sucks that VAing doesnt get respected and big wig execs think you can just get normal actors to just read.

Yeah, he even wrote an autobiographical comic about his life and career leading up to BTAS, Finding Batman.

Batman has always had a lot of appeal for LBGTQ+, neurodivergent, and traumatised people for quite a few reasons.

I remember a Batmas TAS episode (and there was one/more in Gargoyles too) about mad scientists changing humans into cat people/gargoyle like people. Always abducted people. Fools were in the wrong era, they would have had furries banging down their door to become real animal people.

Most actors are very attractive and charismatic. And many have terrible speaking voices which you never realise until you're not looking at their pretty face while they say something.

To be more fair, they're so used to acting with their bodies and faces, that they're never put that much effort into creating a well rounded voice capable of expressing nuances of emotion.

To be less fair, most Hollywood star castings for voice acting suck and their voices grate.

At least until they finally release that Power Pack movie they've been teasing since before Iron Man 1.

Cowslips Warren posted:

In terms of sound, can we discuss voice acting? I absolutely hate it all of the ice age movies because it sounded like Ray Romano's character was literally him just reading off a script from everybody loves raymond.


Voice acting is really hard. And it says something when you have a distinguished voice like Tony j, and it doesn't take away from the character at all. Compared to say some of DreamWorks stuff where they cast a big name celebrity but it literally could be anyone in the role.

And then there's Peter cullen, anytime someone voices Optimus prime, looking at you Netflix and your cruddy war for Cybertron, he is the voice for that character. I know there's plenty of people who can do decent impressions, but I remember watching an interview where he was discussing coming back from Vietnam and he was just a grunt and his older brother was a marine and was pretty high up in ranking, and he told his older brother that he was going to do some voice acting audition for a truck. A hero truck though, not just an ordinary truck, and his brother told him that real heroes don't look like they do in the movies, not everything is snappy one-liners and being a pure Stone Cold badass. A real hero is strong enough to be gentle. And while Peter Cullen is talking about this in his normal voice, he does a very Hollywood kind of, I am Optimus prime, yeah like you would expect from a snappy one liner, and then compares to his usual deep voice I am Optimus prime and I swear every time I hear it I get goosebumps.

Cullen & Welker are two of my all-time favorite voice actors - not just the voices but their general demeanor. Blew me away when I first heard Frank talking & realized his natural voice is Fred from Scooby Doo, just slightly lower. Plus they're so wholesome together whenever they do any interviews or entertainment panels :3:

My friend just watched NOPE and all he got out of it was "okay so a giant kite flies around and stops electricity and that's it?"

I get the idea he didn't actually watch the movie as a Jordan Peele one. You know, where you watch it a second time to see all the loving foreshadowing. Or maybe he didn't even watch it at all.

Ah well. I knew his taste was poo poo when he said one of his favorite movies was Lucky Number Slevin but he thought Cabin in the Woods was dumb.

edit: he maintains that the alien/animal Jean Jacket isn't real but somehow Tremors was still a lot better even if, last I checked, sandworms aren't real either. Was mad that the alien was a giant kite, even when I pointed out a lot of poo poo we have in our oceans looks very similar.

This got me thinking... anyone have a movie they use as a barometer to check whether someone's taste aligns with yours? Ive been using Mad Max Fury Road for that since 2015 basically. have gotten into a few discussions with people and have been absolutely baffled by some of their takes. so i ask them what they think of Fury Road and it basically all falls into place... i inevitably get some form of "it'a mindless action movie with no story" or "it's a big dumb car chase; boring". they would rather watch the newest Marvel movie or Jurassic World, but we clearly arent watching the same way if that's their takeaway from Fury Road.

at least i can then take their movie opinions wtih a massuve grain of salt when they recommend me stuff

Gargoyles was an entire furry (I guess technically a 'scaley'?) series.

Elisa and Goliath were romantically in love, and lamented multiple times how they couldn't REALLY be together... Because of society .

If we want to get REAL weird with it, there's an episode of G1 Transformers where a woman is in love with...I think Seaspray? The blue hovercraft...or maybe it was Powerglide, the A-10 jet?

The fact that it caused a big explosion is not the IIMM. It's that he cocks his M-16 by pulling back on handguard. Like, the entire gun moves in his arms as he does it and the foley guy plays the generic "gun cocking" sound."

dude, he's a single dad and has a pet loving panther, and in pretty much every version of him, he doesn't let any of his cassettes be hurt or abandoned, and woe to anyone who fucks them up. Who wouldn't be all over that? But grain of salt, he always was my favorite Transformer.

What annoyed the hell out of me in gargoyles was that there was an episode where Eliza became a gargoyle due to Puck, and she could have loving stayed that way!, but nope, status quo is God, she goes back to stupid human and they go back to angsty poo poo.


No kidding! I mean especially if you can pick what dinosaur or furry animal dude you would turn into. That spiderman scientist would have a loving waitlist for years.
