Ah, the end of Justice League Unlimited...of course, for all his grandiose lines, Darkseid was relatively unharmed. Then again, he's a god (and not your Kaio level, lol). It can definitely get more serious and dark, or lighter than that in comics, it just varies on the writer.DemonRin wrote:I always got the "Superhero" Vibe from the script moreso than the voice itself.
"I am the Light in the darkness! Savior of the universe! Ally to good, nightmare to you!"
That's something typically "Superhero", though more corny superhero than serious superhero based on the way superheroes are written these days... Serious superhero sounds like this:
"I always feel like I'm living in a world made of cardboard. Always holding myself back, afraid to break something... break someone... But you can take it, can't you big guy?! What I think we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show what I can REALLY do!"
Now if THAT were the caliber of writing the FUNi guys had in the beginning... maybe we'd have more accurate, yet awesome sounding scripts...
The script and voice direction, plus inappropriate music and inexperienced actors are what held Z back originally. The actors are now experienced, the music is the same as the Japanese version, and the script and the voice direction are, while not perfect, perfectly acceptable, and in many areas, good.
What I like about Schemmel's Goku, and Ayres' Freeza is, to me, that they capture the spirit of the characters very well. Maybe not every little detail, and they aren't exactly the same as their Japanese counterparts, but they bring their own flare to the role, that lets them survive beyond the title of "*insert Seiyuu*'s copy".
