I assume you're talking about the double meaning that line presents. That used to happen quite often around here too back in the days. And although if/when taken out of context they provide funny moments, it's still true to what happened in-universe. So yes, you are.Fionordequester wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:03 amNo I'm not. I'm listening to a horrible actor telling another horrible actor about the time "[he] was inside of [him, and]...left a little something behind".
And the answer is right there in the comments, you just needed to scroll down a little bit. I don't know if that's true, but either way, this is beyond the point and scope of the topic at hand. Casting kids to voice adults is a bigger problem than just an actor underperforming. This is not a situation for you to criticize the actor, but for you to take it to whoever decided to miscast in the first place, it's their mistake.Fionordequester wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:03 amI'm wondering "why the H.F.I.L. did they cast a literal child to voice an adult Vegeta?".
I don't know if Karin's gender is known, but I wouldn't oppose to a female cat/Karin. I thought that was pretty cute. If I have something to say, it would be for the voice actress to make her voice a little bit more... I can't remember the word, but to make it sound "more like a cat". It's too human-like. And to talk a little bit slower too, yeah.Fionordequester wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:03 amAnd for that matter "why did they cast a woman to voice Korin? And why's she talking so fast?"
The fact that Karin barely appears these days also helps his/her voice not being big deal. But I really like that idea, if Karin is supposed to be male, then Toriyama should retcon that. I don't think we have many female animals that can speak, right?
Okay, that was hilarious... And Awesome! Whatever we can do to make that shitty character even more shitty than he naturally is, I'll take it!Fionordequester wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:03 amI'm listening and trying to figure out "what is this voice actor doing?" while a character's supposed to be killing their father.
Anyway, yeah, you're seeing a character killing their father, but I doubt you want to feel anything... It's not like in the original he's screaming in a way to make you feel... something. In fact, he's always screaming, so I don't know what you are supposed to feel for this character at all. It's like this one is completely wrong from his very foundation.
Well, I grew up watching cartoonish lions reenacting Shakespeare, I doubt I would have problems with kindergarteners. Unless you mean... kindergarteners reenacting not in an official play/film or something? Which would be an odd thing to compare, these situations are completely different.Fionordequester wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:03 amAt this point, you may as well be watching kindergarteners trying to re-enact Shakespeare.
(Something very important: sometimes a bad voice acting is not a problem of the voice actors, but from the dubbing director, who should be... directing the voice actors better. Dubbing director is the one responsible for how the lines are delivered. You all should keep this mind. It's quite often that voice actors (beginners to regulars, mostly) give their best, but may still underperform, that usually happens when they were badly directed).
Real drama )--> kid loses his father, uncle appears and tells him to run away and never come back.
Fake drama )--> kid loses his father, uncle appears and tells him to run away under a made up excuse (go find your peace/honor/a way to get over it/something and don't come back until you do; your staying shall bring calamity to our people; etc).
(Above example when adding something that isn't there originally).
Real drama )--> kid avoids the destruction of his planet and loses his parents, by being sent to another planet to conquer it.
Fake drama )--> kid avoids the destruction of his planet and loses his parents, by being sent to another planet by his parents.
(Above example when changing or adapting the script differently from the original).
The drama is there but it's fake, not real. Not the kind of drama the original version wanted you to experience. Don't get mad, I'm just joking with the examples! Hehehe! =P
But if I already know the emotion is gone, and I want to experience emotion, why would I watch kids reenact Shakesspeare in the first place? Wouldn't I know beforehand that work is not for me? Also, what are the circumstances here? Are the kids actors or not? Are they in a play or a movie? One needs to have some context. Maybe I won't have the original meaning Shakespeare wanted me to have, but maybe that's because the work I'm going to see, although based on Shakespeare, is intentionally different.
There is a difference between official entities doing something, and regular citizens doing something. Who are these kids/kindergarteners you're talking about? I can't make heads or tails what this "Shakespeare" thing is supposed to mean.
