Fun fact: bc Absalon was a Bishop, he wasn't allowed to wield metal weapons, meaning he likely fought with a wooden club. Needs must.

Absalon / 1964-1993

Dubová socha Rujevíta byla nejspíše poměrně vysoká, takže biskup Absalon, který roku 1168 svatyni vyvrátil, nemohl prý zdviženou rukou se sekyrou dosáhnout úrovně jeho obličeje, i když stál na podstavci idolu. Podoba představovala postavu se sedmi tvářemi na jednom temeni, opásanou sedmi meči a s osmým pevně sevřeným v pravici. Saxo udává zajímavý postřeh týkající se vlaštovek, které si pod ústy sochy postavily hnízdo … ~ The oak statue of Ruyevit was probably relatively high, so Bishop Absalon, who destroyed the shrine in 1168, could not reach the level of his face with his raised hand with an ax, even if he stood on the idol's pedestal. The image represented a figure with seven faces on one crown, girded with seven swords and with the eighth firmly grasped in his right hand. Saxo makes an interesting observation regarding the swallows that built their nest under the statue's mouth…

Bohové dávných Slovanů ~ Gods of ancient Slavs (Martin Pitro, Petr Vokáč)

Wouldn't it be poetic, if one of those sacred swallows swooped down as the Christian trash was stretching up, he'd lose his balance, fall and break his neck?

I might not be religious myself, but there's something about entitled pricks preaching their own truth with sword in hand, destroying whole cultures... it makes me immensely angry even though it's been centuries, and most of our heritage is long since gone.

Hey Three things

I love that you do older Star Wars comic dubs! I only have these comics in digital because no matter how hard I look I can’t find the paper comics. I’ve had people from three separate comic book stores say that Star Wars and marvel fans refuse to part with their comics so that’s why 😂

Dude the voice dubs you do are great! I listened to Sings dub first that’s how I found your channel the one with Torgo Tahn and the anzati school

I just watched the Quinlan Vos one with Aayla also with Volfe Karkoo! Great voice acting! From a great cast. Now this is just me putting my opinion, I still loved what you did. However Volfe Karkko threw me off. Because knowing that anzati have spent their lives tailoring themselves for the hunt I mean they have minor shape shifting abilities to change facial features and eye color for crying out loud which is cool 😂 I’ve just always imagined Volfe with being so old that he’s tailored his voice and it being anything other than smooth, almost like the deceiving calm before the storm messed with me. I’ve always thought like Lion King original Scars voice, Loki, or Bram stokers Dracula without the accent. But like I said even with the voice throwing me off it was great, I could tell the work and dedication you and the other voice actors put in and even if Volfe’s voice didn’t line up with what I thought the voice actor still did an amazing job and I hope you all are proud of your work!😄 I hope my input wasn’t offensive and if it was I really do apologize 😓

Hello, thank you for the message! I'm so glad you enjoy the hard work of my team and I!

Depending on what language you want to read the comics in, there might be reprints availible to you. If you want them in english, most of the comics I dub can be found in the "Star Wars Legends Epic Collection" by Marvel.

The one with Aurra Sing and her days in the Anzati School is one I'm especially proud of because I did compose a whole new soundtrack for that one. I've also been hired to compose new music for a different Star Wars project recently, and I intend to reuse that one for my dubs as well.

It's alright you disagree with me on Volfe's voice, and you're entitled to your own headcanon as to what he should sound like. Nontheless, his voice is still one of my favourite parts of the dub and it might still make for an interesting discussion to explain how he ended up with the voice he has now.

As I haven't watched either the Lion King, Brian Stoker's Dracula or anything from the MCU, I am afraid I might not entirely understand your imagination for how he should sound, but if you are saying he should have a calmer and more harmless voice, I respectfully disagre. That sort of voice is what I gave the villians who make more of a secret about their evil intents, such as the Gran Protectorate, or villians who are more outwardly charismatic such as Iaco Stark (who hasn't appeared yet but all of his dialogue has been recorded already).

When it comes to villiany, Volfe Karkko does not beat around the bush, he's an ancient vampiristic alien with a lightsaber, the ability to shoot lightning and a thirst for brains. He's pure evil and I wanted him to have a voice that makes him as terrifying as he needs to be.

Now, one of my favourite voiceover jobs that I did for someone else was in 2017 when I joined the cast of the YouTube webseries known as Dragon Ball Absalon. There, I had the incredible honor of voicing alongside an actor named Roy Bunales, who performed the voice of my character's boss; Captain Horenzo, and I was immediately amazed by the deep, commanding presence his voice brought to his character. In other words, this is a voice actor I've been a fan of even before I did comic dubs.

So you can imagine my exitement when Roy did agree to join the cast of my comic dub series! Originally I wanted him to play Even Piell, but he fell ill and wasn't able to record when we went around to do Emissaries to Malastare. His audition lines can still be heard here, though:

Thankfully, he had recovered from his ailment by the time Darkness rolled around, and I thought, and still do, that he and the role of Volfe Karkko were a match made in heaven. As inspiration for Karkko's performance, I sent him this video of the Lieutenant in Fallout, originally performed by the late Tony Jay, who is another voice actor who gave the exact sort of voice I pictured Karkko having.

I don't know if any of this will change your perception of Karkko's voice in the Darkness dub, but it still was fun for me to go over, and I hope you enjoyed learning about it. Your input wasn't offensive at all, in fact, strongly I appreciate it, and I'm happy to learn about different viewpoints in such great detail.

Feel free to message me again anytime!

Sooooo.... Toxic Absalon/Senator Snout yaoi when???

I jest, nobody write that, please.

So. The finale. Home stretch... I am trying my hardest to ignore that fact for now, it makes me wanna cry. Not to be ungrateful for the Penumbra Team, we've just had these two shows for years now, and being here at the finish line is sorta sad, ain't it? And we definitely ain't making out unscathed.

That bit with Lam knowing everyone was hilarious. As well as Absalon finally getting part of what he deserves.

Like, damn tho, with Mira. Took her long enough. Kinda insane how close she got to just getting locked up in her tent and being treated as mad.

We clap for Arum. King shit, love our Lizard Lord. It was tough, but a consensus has been reached and hopefully can be continued. Stand together or die together.

Arkona was the last pagan Slavic city castle destroyed in 1168 by the crusade led by Bishop Absalon and King Valdemar the Great of Denmark. It was located on Rugia island in the Baltic Sea (now in Germany).
