Say what you will about casting choices but Pedro is far more talented than Pratt

[–] LifeInOregon 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But, Pratt made a great Starlord.

Pratt is busy voicing all the cartoon characters now. So Mario and Garfield are going to sound suspiciously similar.

Isn't the point of voice acting that they ... don't sound the same?

[–] angrystego 3 points 1 year ago

Not really. The point of voice acting is conveying emotions and situations of a character through speach. Just like in live action, you can have actors-chameleons and actors who are always the same and always good when cast appropriately.

Ehhh, not to anyone paying attention to the comics before the guardians movies came out.

But that cna be said about most MCU characters / actors.

[–] LifeInOregon 7 points 1 year ago

I’ve been reading Guardians comics since before there was a Peter Quill. Yes, Pratt’s incarnation is more comedic, and his origin is quite different, but he’s very much an emotionally driven character in both. Obviously James Gunn took a far more comedic approach to the overall tone, but Pratt fits the tone of the director and the team in a way that works for the screen.

I mean, how many of those happened at the same time?

Most of them are his Marvel Character as well.

[–] Omegamanthethird 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ridiculous. They just refuse to cast anyone else as Captain America.

[–] jordanlund 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, at this point, they have written him out. Old Man Steve got to go make his date in the 40s and lived happily ever after.

Though how the TVA went after Loki and not Steve escapes me.

[–] Omegamanthethird 2 points 1 year ago

Still hoping Steve shows back up.

But yeah, that new timeline was supposed to happen. I think any timeline without a tyrannical Kang was considered fine. That's why some variance was okay. Most of the Lokis were taken after they strayed too far, not at the moment of divergence.
