You’re honestly expecting the guy who left it to other writers to depict Luke Cage and Jessica Jones as a happily married couple with a family to refocus the book on family dynamics? The guy who intentionally axed a relationship he himself made for the relaunch of Jessica Jones’ solo comic? Are you out of your goddamn…

That’s not nor has it ever been how these sort of things work.

It’s also a slap in the face to Dan Jurgens, who as far as I can tell was axed from the book just to make room for Bendis.

Nor critically, he fizzled out creatively around the 80th issue (if not sooner, its been awhile since I paid attention to his career outside of him ruining characters I like) of Ultimate Spider-man, he got abit of a boost with Miles Morales, which actually seemed to be something that made sense for him as a writer,…

These movies are not great, but the animation even from the beginning is the star for anyone who loves Tartakovsky and classic Looney Tunes shorts. Genndy got more laughs out of me in the first one just by how characters moved than by anything that was actually said by the characters. They’re all worth watching for…

What do you mean? we’ve historically always gotten one Doug Judy episode per season, why would they suddenly change that? His inevitable appearance each year is as enjoyable to look forward to as the Halloween episodes or the status quo altering season finale’s that lead into great high concept season premieres.

Yeah, except it’s not. Which is where my confusion came from (despite having randomly heard they did it that way for anime awhile back and just forgetting before I posted) watch any behind the scenes featurette or documentary for an animated production from an American studio and they will go over how they design the…

By his own admission, it isn’t faultless, he has said in interviews that the character didn’t fully “click” for him until they were recording the last episode, and has said he’d be up for redoing his lines for the whole show if someone was willing to pay for it to get made. That being said his work with Spike and…

We wouldn’t have to tell them, most of them speak fluent English so are doing that anyways, English is a required subject in school in most first world countries around the world, for instance, you’re likely to find a German born person who can correctly spell “Some” whereas you’re a native born English speaker and…

I have the granddaddy of all exceptions to this, Castle Of Cagliostro, I don’t know what it is, but even when they do the whole “convey what the original was trying to say” thing it just comes across as clumsy and horribly done, and it doesn’t help that the Japanese actors had been doing the characters for almost a…

Voice actors ARE actors, and even more than that they’re having to give an entire performance with a wide range of emotions without their face, one of an actors greatest tools to convey emotion, to fall back on.

nostalgia is a powerful factor in this, I actually enjoy the Japanese dubs, they grow on you, and it’s nice to have the consistency of the same voice actress voicing Goku from Dragon Ball into the adult Goku seasons. That being said there are some shows where I just prefer the dub (usually if Steven Blum is involved…

Seems like that would make it very difficult for the animators to get lip movement right, but eh, whatever the minutiae of that may be, Japan tends to also grab voices from a wide pool of actors and voice actors, so regardless of this not being as much of a factor, they’re still cherry picking the person whose voice…

Except animation usually animates around a voice performance, they don’t just animate everything and then have the actor talk over it, that would be insane, but that’s what dubs do.

In the case of comedy anime shows the dubs regardless of their competency universally ruin the punchlines, I realized this when watching the first episode of Space Dandy both with the dub and then with the sub, one was hilarious, the other was not.

I thought it was pretty clearly established that race horses have some truly terrible and bizarre names, I think John Oliver even had a “Now This” segment making fun of ridiculous race horse names.

Well, the name and the marketing that bafflingly focused on literal Terriers, which just confused the hell out of everyone.

Yeah, but everything great in the history of pop culture has a stupid name, Spider-man is a batshit stupid name. Batman and Superman are horrible names too. Star Wars (why because there are wars, in the stars?) Star Trek (not once do they go to a star) Super Mario Bros? The fuck even is that?! If you spend all your…

In Slevin it’s the name of a Race Horse, the main character takes it on because the horse is related to his tragic past.

The director is Irish, the name of the horse in the movie was Lucky Number Slevin, watch the goddamn movie or read the wikipedia synopsis section, I promise it’s not as irritating as you’re making it sound.
