So... do you like the dub better? I don't believe that the original has Latin Meta Knight or Deep South Dedede which was the only reason to watch the show, if the horrible voice acting was the only reason to watch, wouldn't that make the original source material irrelevant?
...wut? ¦DNow I remember why I don't like Smashboards... the Hobbit hatred. No one appreciates the value of great entertainment anymore....
Never did see that one episode in English. I'd probably laugh to death if I did.I actually like Waddle Doo's voice more in the dub because of how hilariously ironic it is.
Just for comparison sake with the low-voiced English dub.
I guess. I never watched the Japanese dub. But I'll only watch the show for the cheese factor. And those three things are what sells the show for me.
So you are asserting that Last Airbender had character development? I was merely stating that Korra had BETTER development. Both series had one dimensional characters that never really amounted to anything. I personally felt like they relayed on unique personalities to omit any meaningful character development. It seemed like they at least tried in Korra, she grew more in one season than Aang did in three. The supported cast was pretty much stagnant the entire journey, nothing really changed. It was a close call, I can understand why you think that there was little to no character development (as there really wasn't); however, I wouldn't state that Last Airbender did a great job either. Toph is really the only character that... well developed.
Well to be fair, Toph was the best character in the entire series. ¦D
Appa and Momo would like a word with you.
Now, I say, I say, Imma clobbah dat dere Kirbeh!
That reminds me. We have anime voice actors gradually transitioning into Western Animation (Kari Wahlgren, Travis Willingham). It'd be kind of nice if we could get voice actors like Tom Kenny, Tress MacNeille, Grey DeLisle, etc. in some anime dubs. I wonder what it would've been like if Garterbelt had been voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.

Well, that is quite a change if I do say so myself. Brooklyn Accent Waddle Doo. That one is a keeper. No doubt about that. No sir.
It was mostly a joke, I didn't really expect anyone to identify the reference. This is a Nintendo fan-site after all. It was just a Gandalf quote, it really makes you contemplate how easy it is to misconstrue something that seems so direct to those accustomed to using the phrase. Subtle cultural differences can make a difference in how we interpret things. It mostly just shows that Gandalf is an expert philosopher though.
I'm pretty sure that Aang and Zuko were the best. But who am I kidding, everyone on that show was pretty cool.
I didn't get to watch the Hobbit movie, if that's where it's from. Sorry. :<
I still prefer the Japanese version where Meta Knight says "Oh shi-" instead of "Here it comes"
No. Don't feel bad, I laughed too. I'm still laughing. That voice was sent down from the heavens themselves.
Compare Aang from episode 1 to Aang from episode 61. He goes from a completely immature kid who wants nothing more than to go penguin sledding to a calm, rational spiritual leader who is far more mature than his age. Korra in episode 1 is a brash teenager who hits things and cries when things don't go her way. Korra in episode 12 (the original intended ending) is a brash kid who confronts Amon without any kind of plan, accidentally defeats him when her airbending turns on randomly, and when she loses three out of her four superpowers, she just cries until Aang saves the day. Especially seeing the beginning of season 2, she learned absolutely nothing and didn't develop at all.
The Hobbit is like one of the best-selling books of all time though. I am not really a Nintendo fan either, I used to be though, now I am simply a "Smash fan" which seems somewhat contrary at first.
Dude, just go for it. We need something to kill time until the 6th. ¦D
If only that would've made it into the dub. I was really hoping it would've. That being said it doesn't surprise me that it didn't at all. (and yeah, I know he was actually going to say "shimatta")
Eh, I like Smash but I dunno if I can call myself a proper fan since I love P:M over Brawl itself. XD
Depends, are we talking in terms of gameplay, plot, or gay subtext?
Heh. I would read it. I've got no problem reading rants. I too had my problems with season 2. Mostly with the end. But I'm not the best of doing in depth rants myself. Though I am a fan of Tenzin in Korra.
I agree, Last Airbender does get better, I was trying to keep it to season 1 (which I didn't, as I mentioned Toph). I don't necessarily view it as rational to compare a complete series to the first season of a different series. I can see where you are coming from, I just feel as though they did more with the characters in Korra than they did with the characters of Airbender. When you list out more specific notions, it becomes more apparent that I was wrong. I was probably trying to get at the predictable development, it was obvious what they were going for initially, so nothing was really surprising or unwarranted. In that event, I do change my response. Airbender had better character development, but Korra definitely had the more cohesive plot and better writing (undoubtedly due to the experience of writing Airbender).
YES. ¦(
Gay Subtext, then Gameplay. Follow it up with Lesiban Subtext. And finish off with Bi-Sexual Subtext. Throw in some plot too. And by plot, I mean terrible fan-service. That way, everyone wins.
That is nice, it doesn't really explain why you commit time here though. Do you just really enjoy the community or the social aspects? It doesn't seem worth it to spend time on a website dedicated to something you no longer enjoy. Maybe that is just me, the second I am bored of Smash, I am gone. Haha.
Because it kills time and gives me people to entertain, be entertained by and manipulate for the sake of my sadistic needs. ¦D
My friends who have Pokemon are mostly casual-ish in regards to gaming and my more immersed friends have perfect value shiny teams. Filling up my Pokedex is about as much post game as I'm interested in since IVs and EVs aren't really my thing.
As much as I like him -- probably one of my favorite lords in the series -- I really don't see what he can do that the other three Fire Emblem characters cannot; unless Sakurai tries to give him lance attacks, or utilize the Pair Up system somehow. All I see him being is a middle weight character between the lighter Marth and heavier Ike -- Roy, essentially.
I wouldn't call it a cohesive plot. What was the entire point of the series? Korra certainly didn't learn anything and the world certainly wasn't changed for the better. What was Amon's motivation? He literally had none. What was the purpose of Mako and Bolin besides filling out Team Avatar and fulfilling the role of love interest and comedic relief? They did nothing of value the entire series. The ending was definitely rushed, everything happens within 2 episodes. Some people would say that's because they had to cram the entire story into 12 episodes. Well if that was the case, why did they waste 6 entire episodes with Pro-Bending, the most boring waste of time in the history of Avatar? That's the definition of awful pacing.
Base his move set on generic attack animations from Awakening. Much like Marth's moveset is based on NES attack animations. You could even make a couple of animations from stuff he does in the CG cut scenes.
That wasn't necessarily the intent of the series though, the save the world plot was for Airbender. Korra was going for something different. I don't know if I recall the series correctly, I thought Amon had all of the motivation in the world, I must be forgetting something. I agree though, that ending was rushed and the pacing was horrendous, that doesn't really correlate to how cohesive the story-line was though.
More or less.
