the one I don’t get is the hate for Shadow’s current voice

IMO the voice is great, it’s just…Well, Shadow hasn’t been well written since 06 lol

Griffith nor Drummond could make Shadow cound cool with the dollar store Vegeta SEGA is obsessed with making him

 

[MooMew64]

Kirk Thornton is a freaking amazing actor, he does a great job for what he's been given to work with, haha. I can see how some people might not like the older tone and texture to the voice, but I dig it, haha. (Dude's been around for like, 50+ years, after all.)

Yeah IMO Kirk does great with what he’s given. He’s also in Kingdom Hearts, he plays Saix.

Griffith nor Drummond could make Shadow cound cool with the dollar store Vegeta SEGA is obsessed with making him

At least Boom made it funny

The Twitter takeover event Shadow is great too tbh

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Introducing my new favorite phrase ever:

dollar store Vegeta

Haven't played much of Kingdom Hearts honestly, haha. I mostly know him from Demon Slayer, where he plays Tanjiro's father.

 

[MooMew64]

I never had an issue with any Sonic voice actor and I do not participating in harassing when they change them or say a cheesy line.

Imagine having issues with Sonic VAs for saying cheesy lines when this entire franchise was built off of cheese from day 1.

He's put blood, sweat, and tears into constructing this franchise as we know it.

I said this so many times before but the fact that he plays both of them is super funny to me

Adventure 1 started with "AW YEAH! THIS IS HAPPENING" when literally nothing has happened yet and yet people want it to be serious.

So what you're saying is that David Humphrey is the best Shadow? Common Mighty W

Tbf his first time voicing Shadow was pretty awkward lmao

This is the same franchise that had Sonic wish for a rain of handkerchiefs so his genie waifu could cry, Shadow wondering just where is that diddly-darn fourth emerald, and the entire Sonic Heroes script.

That’s not saying these things are bad: Far from it, but like…You cannot say that current games are too silly when stuff like that was going on, lol.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

On a completely unrelated topic...

Actually goated.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I ain’t gonna judge any of the modern VAs for Free Riders lol

I uh... forgot he vouced Shadow and not Drummond

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh right, Free Riders exists. I meant his line in Generations at the end of the game lmao

I uh... forgot he vouced Shadow and not Drummond

Ryan did voice Shadow too, iirc Humphrey was unavailable for a couple of lines for the final boss so Drummond had to fill in

 

[Wademan94]

Oh yeah, and I kinda drew this as a warm-up (I have not drawn traditionally in all year)

I ****ing suck at drawing faces tbh but I did like the rest of it as my attempt at trying to brush up a bit.

If there's any artists out there that can give advice on drawing faces, like let me know lol.

Not a bad attempt. If you wanna improve on faces, make sure you utilize guidelines. Here’s basically how I draw out faces:

I really want to see someone comparing the original script with the dub one for Kaguya one day.

Ian Sinclair ****ing killing it in this show.

Ian Dinclair kills (positive) anything he is a VA in

 

[TheMightyP]

I really want to see someone comparing the original script with the dub one for Kaguya one day.

Here's one instance

 

[osby]

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Deity race:

“I am Deity Lugh. The shining one... With my Areadbhar, I shall vanquish thine enemies.”

Alignment: Light-Neutral

Origin: Irish mythology. Lugh is a god associated with many skills, both artistic and military. He’s a member of the divine pantheon Tuatha Dé Danann and a warrior king. He’s the grandson of the Fomorian Balor, whom Lugh kills in battle. His son is the hero Cu Chulainn. Lugh wields an unstoppable fiery spear and a sling stone in battle and is credited as the inventor of ball games and horse racing.

Skills: Agibarion, Deathbound, Mahamaon, Critical Aura

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Dragon race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Táin Bó Cúalnge gives a very detailed physical description of Lugh and this design is surprisingly loyal to it in some regards. He has curly blond hair, a green mantle, two polearms, and a black shield. He even has a weird mechanical slingshot around one hand! While SMT often treats him as a solar god, Lugh is only compared to the sun in any primary source and nowadays, it’s commonly agreed that it’s a role born from his association with Apollo.

 

[MooMew64]

Kaguya dub is just Ian's watchalong.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

We all know Ian Sinclair peaked in VA with Dandy

 

[Cutie Gwen]

blond hair

Areadbhar

Omg cool Fire Emblem reference, didn't know the Irish loved that franchise so much!

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I really want to see someone comparing the original script with the dub one for Kaguya one day.

If you're curious, for this scene in particular, the original Japanese VO loosely translates to:

"It's not as if whoever confesses their feelings first loses or anything!"
"She just rejected the principle theme of this story."

...And this is an example of why the dub is so much funnier in my opinion, haha. No title drop... no Ian Sinclair screaming in my face... just ain't the same!

Jokes aside, I love how each main character in Three Houses has a weapon that references different mythology.

Ew Hop.

 

[TheMightyP]

No Hop slander on my watch

 

[Noipoi]

Hop is a good character who gets bogged down by their insistence on having him point out the most useless of things.

“Remember to do the gym challenge!”
“WAS THAT A SUPER EFFECTIVE MOVE??”

No one remembers his actual character arc, just this stuff.

A shame

That was kinda annoying but he's like one of the only rivals to actaully have a personality and character development so that already puts him in like top 4.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ew Hop.

Hop is good, hes just stuck in a bad game

 

[Lamperouge]

Hop has a pretty dope theme though.

 

[MooMew64]

working with voice files, I have to listen to them back so much now that words start to not feel like words anymore

 

[Jondolio]

Hop has a pretty dope theme though.

His final battle theme is chef's kiss

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Funnyly, the only song i like in sword and shield if thr Gyn leader rematch theme. The othher songs, ehh

 

[MooMew64]

y'all just jealous you don't have a brother who is the champion who gets lost because he is bad with directions ha ha do you get it he's bad with directions so hopeless ha ha he gets lost a lot do you get it huh do you get i-

 

[Lamperouge]

y'all just jealous you don't have a brother who is the champion who gets lost because he is bad with directions ha ha do you get it he's bad with directions so hopeless ha ha he gets lost a lot do you get it huh do you get i-

I've always wondered what recurring character trait Leon had, if any.

Wish the game explained it some more...

 

[TheMightyP]

Leon may be bad at directions but he got some natural swagger to him and I like that.

Now if only he was worried about an easily preventable thing that'll happen when he's long dead. Bad character for that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

No wait I lied. Averys theme is a banger too
