you and rafe had met, dated, and gotten married, all while hiding your secret identities as spies from each other, but when it came to light that you both were not only spies but spies from rival agencies, it became clear that one of you had to die by the other's hand.

after a tense shootout that destroyed the home you two lovingly shared for so long, a symbol of your relationship that was once perfect and now in shambles, you realized that you couldn't kill him. you loved him. in this business, attachments were lethal. you put aside that rule for rafe, sparks flying the moment you met the handsome, charming man, and now, that would be the very thing that would become your undoing.

alright so is anybody going to mention the fact that this guy is dressed like the fifteenth doctor? because i am. i am bringing it up. we know for a fact he’s wearing this costume in the miami 50s cinema episode, which is the episode that the cartoon features in

pink bowtie. silly. cheerful to the extreme. likes to dance. just like the “dream lord” was whimsical, bitter, acerbic and self-loathing, and wore a bowtie too — an exaggeration of 11’s most prominent character traits. an explicit foil/parallel/alternate self that exists to highlight all your worst habits

there’s also the fact that alan cumming, who voices Mr Cartoon Dickhead over here, was at one point in a shortlist of actors to play the Doctor, and has featured in another episode in 13’s era — one where he played yet another character explicitly stated in-text to mirror the doctor in some shape or form (king james the witchfinder who dedicated his life to fighting what he perceived to be evil)

all i’m saying is, a cartoon guy who realises he’s fictional and desperately tries to break through the fourth wall of the silver screen … well!

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.

It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.

Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.

The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.

This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.

Actors are not the same as voice actors.

And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.

I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.

People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.

Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

MR. & MRS. SMITH (2024-) 1.05 "Do You Want Kids?"

[ironworked]

Looking at current Amazon Prime originals and their premiere vs s2 renewal dates, it looks like what they do more often is:

Renew ahead of s1 premiere (The Boys, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cross, Rings of Power, Citadel, Wheel of Time)

A week or less after s1 premiere (Fallout, Reacher, Upload)

1 month post s1 premiere (Gen V, Devil's Hour, The Rig, House of David)

Skimming the list of ended AP programming I see cancellations mostly around the 2 month mark (sometimes 1, sometimes 3ish, occasionally longer).

And what that tells us is that apart from choosing to show confidence in some shows from minute zero (because of financials or previous potential audience research or whatever), Amazon looks at numbers very, very early.

So if there's an Amazon show you'd like to see get another season, you need to watch it now*.

Not saying it for any particular reason coughCountdowncough
