It’s a good time to be a transformers fan guys!

Watched transformers one yesterday and I literally still think about it every waking moment.

It’s such a stunning movie, the story flowed so well! The action was genuinely incredible and let’s not even get started on the animation and art direction!!! Absolutely going to get the art book 100%

Personal favourites were some of the wide shots, and camera work. Sometimes it felt like they were imitating life action filming (blue eye samurai does that too :D it’s so cool!)

The acting was fantastic obviously! So much character! And ngl, Hemsworth and Tyree Henry did an amazing job playing the two big guys.

I enjoyed the humor aswell! Bumblebee was a bit much at times e but that’s about all I can say. He’s still endearing to me.

Did get emotional towards the end, I grew up on transformers but I’m unfortunately not as well versed in the deep lore as I want to be (wish I could point out every single reference and recognise characters in seconds but alas). I still thoroughly LOVED it, and am almost tempted to watch it again aaaaa

Please if you haven’t seen it, go watch it! It’s such a fun watch, even for folk who know next to nothing about transformers.

Gay skeletons in space.

They'd rather play chauffer than let their rivals even think about touching the aux. (The chants they're playing are very important for their focus!)

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.

i always find it nice how geralt and vilgefortz, as representatives of good and evil, experienced similar circumstances and their good and evil are only the results of how they chose to deal with and respond to those circumstances

before i go to bed (read fanfic until 2am) i do want to level and say that today? today could've been MUCH worse. alt-right parties made massive gains, yes, and nazism is alive and well apparently, but the left is still there and is still a majority in a lot of countries. we will not stop, we will not back down. this fight is a draw, but the war will be won in favour of human rights and the planet.

to everyone that voted from the 6th until today: good fucking job! YOU are what keeps this world turning. YOU are the backbone of a functioning, accepting, society. YOU did your part. get some rest, get a little treat, and realise that you did good.

we WILL get through this. we WILL make this place better for our children, our grandchildren, and everything else that is yet to come. fuck the nazis, fuck the alt-right.

let's keep going 💪 despair is so easy, and hope is so incredibly hard. BUT DO WE LOVE TO STAY HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
