Anyone wish Aku was relegated to a non-speaking role? His new voice actor is FUCKING AWFUL.
>>91628442
It's passable. Not good, but passable.
>>91628442
I like to imagine aku's mouth is just constantly filled with peanut butter, it softens the blow of his voice acting
pretend he developed an eating problem over 50 year
>>91628442
Meh, it's fine. Not a big deal.
Greg's voice is fine, it's canon that Aku is mexican anyways.

Missing a bit of reverb.
>>91628442
It's not great, but who was really going to replace Mako? The creators had their back to the wall on this one.
>>91628442
When I first saw the trailer I was worried they were going to have Aku assume a female form for the season.
>>91628442
No, the voice acting is fine.
Mako is dead, and holding it to that standard isn't even remotely realistic.
>>91629600
>>91630481
Exactly.
Mako's dead, so the creators hired the guy who took over for him on Avatar. The complaints about the difference in voices are just so bizarre.
>buh-buh but it's not the same voice as it used to be!
Like... no shit. The original actor is gone, so unless someone knows necromancry that won't bring about the zombie apocalypse, I guess we'll just have to make do with a voice that isn't 100% like it used to be.
>>91628740
You're fucking based for remembering this
It would sound fine if the accent wasn't like fucking Peter Lorrie. They should have used computers to pitch shift it and sound more like Aku too, as well as add reverb.
>>91628442
something something He started out ok in the second episode, but now he just sounds terrible something something
I like him better than Mako. Fuck that guy. Glad he's dead.
>>91628740
Interesting
>>91628442
It would be VERY difficult to pull off a silent Aku successfully. Aside from Greg Baldwin, I'd say the next best route is recycling/sentence mixing his lines from seasons 1-4.
>>91628740
Why was this battle with aku so much violent
>>91635337
90's and early 00's CN let writers get away with a lot of shit
>>91628740
Wow.
I never watched the old seasons so i dont know what the old voice sounds like. I like this voice tho
>>91630646
>actor can imitate one voice
>that means he can imitate another
Whoever is in charge of casting is a retard.
>>91628442
It could be worse. Nothing can replace Oldku's voice.
Though when he tells Scotty that he's lost, that sounded pretty close.
>>91637873
Watch the earlier seasons you moron. You are missing some great TV.
>>91638071
No, he's missing Samurai Jack.
>>91637911
>assuming they didn't audition a bunch of people
>>91630646
Nobody's saying "oh boo hoo it's not indistinguishable from Mako's so it's bad" you autistic apologist
He can't even get the fucking accent right. The voice isn't even close. The evil laugh in the new intro sounds like trash. He sounds like a mess, like a Mexican hobo who's been living in a rough area of Hungary for a few decades or something. Get someone who can do at least a DECENT job. It doesn't have to be perfect, just decent. There are bound to be better actors who can at LEAST do an old Japanese accent and a deep crackly voice at the same time. It could be enhanced with computers too, I don't care.
>>91630646
>isn't 100%
WEWLAD
It's not that he isn't perfect, it's that hes NOWHERE CLOSE. Different problem.
>>91637911
It's the same voice though. The delivery is different, but the timbre is the same. If Aku chilled out he'd just be Iroh.
>>91639253
Aku sounded different from Iroh. I can do a good Bowie impression but that doesn't mean I have his entire vocal range. Baldwin clearly doesn't have Mako's.
Greg's voice is fucking terrible, you must be underage if you think otherwise
>>91628442
Perhaps once the season has ended, if someone is passionate and talented enough, they could re-dub the role.
