Do any of you guys listen to yourselves?

“I bet they FORCED him to retweet it!”

I wrote that off to a bunch of post-Pratt conspiracy talk. Yeah they were right, but they were already wound up.

I’d rather we move on with our lives and not get to a point where every role is the digital recreation of someone who retired (or died) years ago.

Dude this kinda shit is exactly what the Hollywood strikes are about. Can we just accept that different people can voice the same character and the world will continue just fine?

It doesn’t. There’s no way this plays out where the usual suspects wouldn’t cook up some conspiracy.

TL;DR:

Updated: 8/21/21, 12:53 p.m. ET: Added a comment from Nintendo confirming that Martinet will not voice Mario in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

I’m sorry you struggle with human mortality. But I assure you the world will continue turning if Charles Martinet stops voicing Mario.

Fuck at least those Pokemon are legal.

This is what I’m talking about. Being able to make whatever Pokemon you want, print whatever card you want, buy whatever pie, etc *does* impact the competitive scene.

Nintendo: “Please do not hack Pokemon.”

If you’re willing to pay people to grind your Pokemon for you, then congrats you want it bad enough and found someone hard enough up for cash to do it.

Yeah, sorry I was more agreeing with what you’re saying. If the rules of the contest are X you get banned for X.

Maybe raise your own fuckin' Pokemon then.

What's funny is for all this talk about pies you're more concerned with twisting yourself in to a pretzel.

What if I argue the pre-made pie is “a proxy.”

Okay, so then in your own words it actually *would* be acceptable to simply go to the store and buy a pie to enter a baking contest because it’s just a proxy for a pie you could have baked yourself with enough time, effort, and resources.

Congratulations. You're part of the reason AI is becoming such a problem.

I’d love a series of vignettes where Nintendo hires various well known VAs to do Mario.
