In Response To: Re: Headhunters #1 (Dagoonite)


: Oddly, I disagree in one aspect. While I agree that the voice acting is
: subpar (but again, far from the worst -- I'd even be hesitant to say it's
: actually bad) I think that they're trying too hard to be bad ass. Common
: problem, actually. You think "awesome soldier" and you get a
: mental image of a gravely, weathered voice. People shoot for that too
: much, in my opinion.

: Then again, I openly admit that my views are based elsewhere. When I was a
: little kid, I had to spend a lot of time in nursing homes due to my
: grandmother. I met a lot of vets from both world wars (and a few other
: bits of combat) who desperately wanted to tell somebody their stories.
: It's a thing I've noticed, but I'll spare you that speculation.

: One of the things that I pulled from these stories, though, was their
: descriptions of somebody that was badass. "He was a short guy with a
: nasally voice." "He was lanky and sounded like he was going
: through puberty the entire time I knew him." "We made fun of how
: he looked for a while, but then..."

: Nowadays, I don't associate a kickass soldier with a "bad ass"
: voice, I more picture them as the guy who you wouldn't expect.

I do not want to hear Steve Urkel in my toons. Thank you.
