Outsourced South Korean animators don't exist anymore.

The only bit that made me sad was Dale not pronouncing Joseph's name correctly. There is a very specific drawl to the pronunciation that both Dale and Bobby use. Dale just says it the traditional way now.

"Tools dont exist anymore" bullshit excuse, I didn't even care about this untill I read that headline stating that obvious placation.

You can always tell a master when they blame their tools.

I think the animation is fine its some of the voice actors that have been a put off. Dale is so nasally and weird.

My head cannon is Dales voice is suffering from the excessive smoking and all those illegal pesticides he's breathed in over the decades has messed up his voice, that's made it easier to deal with his voice being off. Khan tho, that's not Khan's voice at all, they need to stop hiring that dude for voice acting, he doesn't voice act, he just talks in his own voice. Khan is erratic and higher pitched with a heavy slathering of arrogance and humility forced together into one insane but caring dude. Khan is boring now.

Someone said Dale should have had a voice box. I completely agree compared to what was presented.

Yea it’s not the right voice but that’s because the Dale voice actor died

[–] Pistcow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Articles out there said it was a 50/50 split with the original voice actor Johny Hardwock then replaced at some point by Tobby Huss. Either way, it's bad all around.

I didn't even notice any differences in the animation. Just the difference in Dale's, Khan's and Wasonisong's (probably spelled that wrong...) voices becsuse they're all voiced by different people now.
