Talking about Steve Blum's performance as Spike Spiegel and his uncanny ability to "emote without emoting" is what's called a "grounded performance." It's something that a lot of actors struggle to learn but gaining that ability to give an "honest" performance adds a whole new level of humanity to your acting.

I personally love Handsome Jack's final lines before his death so much because he really was the little guy at the bottom of the ladder when he was younger. Shown to be abused by his grandmother as a kid, more than likely bullied by dozens of people because he'd never make it to the top. Fast forward years, he's the CEO of a multi million dollar company, wanting to clear out the entire planet of Pandora of bandits to make it a better place, something that he genuinely believes that it is the right thing to do - and he *lost*. Just as he said, "You are a bandit, and I, am the god damn HERO!"

[@Psycorde]

Small correction, these corporations in Borderlands universe are unbelievably huge, they span 6 galaxies that humanity is present in Hyperion is not multi-million, it's unquantifiable currency-of-your-choice company.

The twins are just annoying compared to him

[@aresxprodigy1739]

@Trevor Houff i think they were intended to be like that, if you're trying to force yourself to do better then you end up forcing the players hand. The reason handsome jack was so good is because we didn't want to kill him. We loved him. The twins are a direct perpendicular and we want to kill them. The script writers knew they couldn't do better. So they did worse, and by doing that the Calypso twins are a garbage masterpiece of character development

[@V1G1LANTEK9]

@@aresxprodigy1739 I agree in Borderlands 3 the writers decided to make an ultimate evil. That show no empathy for anyone that have no real reason anyone of sane mind would be able to sympathize with them. I think their development over the game was good as evil characters. They just got more menacing and stronger. And as more characters died the story went on you just kept losing hope is things just kept getting worse until the very end when you finally bring them down with the only way to truly stop them being sacrifice. The writers knew they couldn't do a whole lot to beat handsome Jack so they made the best they could without

[@RaNgErs_Rep]

@@aresxprodigy1739 personally in my opinion I think the twins were definitely not as good as handsome Jack it but the bar was set so high when they made your handsome Jack that people can appreciate the Calypso's on their own and the Calypso's did a good job as being the ones that they were hated which was the important part I think that their role was to be hated us that's what the villains part to get heated until you didn't eventually either kill them sorry for bad grammar I used the voice thing cuz I'm too lazy to type all of this

[@GeneralSpecific]

Fun fact: Liam O'Brien and Ashley Johnson both play in the most famous D&D stream ever, Critical Role. Ashley doesn't get too deep into character in the first season, but you can really see Liam diving into the minds of his characters. It almost feels like he's living his characters and their turmoils. This is noticeable in the first season, but in the second season, he manages to make his performance more visceral, while keeping it under a tighter leash, vocally. A very quiet, yet intense performance. It's kinda brilliant.

I appreciate what you said about dubs because I’m one of those people with a disability that makes reading subs at the very best unenjoyable and it’s always bothered me when people hate on dubs when it’s the only way some people can actually enjoy the show or game.

Same here, I can't read and watch something if it's not in my native language.

[@LBK978]

People hate on dubs because they have a preference. There is really no point to spending energy being bothered by people disliking dubs. That's like getting actually upset about iPhone fans downtalking Android users. I watch very few anime English dub as the voice acting doesn't always feel natural to the show. Some however, are done pretty well (DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Konosuba, etc). Others don't always feel the same way. You having a disability doesn't mean anything negative about you, but honestly why would that impact someone criticizing dubs at all? Your having one doesn't mean that I won't stop having issues with the voice acting of some shows. But I will say the actual lack of understanding Japanese can be a reason why some prefer dub. When you don't understand the language, it's harder to distinguish bad VA.

most dubs sound bad because of the linguistic differences between japanese and english. lines that sound fine in Japanese can simply sound weird or forced/melodramatic when translated to english. couple that alongside the fact that theyre trying to sync the dub with the mouth movements of the characters too.

[@xanvasanx]

@@Skyfoogle that is one way to see it, maybe it's because of language differences, but check out the Latin American dub got Dragon Ball Z, it doesn't sound forced and there's a good lip sync overall It's, actually, really good

[@Skyfoogle]

might have to do with spanish being a fast-spoken language, just like japanese. english not so much

I met Damien Clark at a convention in Wyoming, and he's the coolest person I've met. My friend asked him how he can laugh so genuinely, and he's like, "I have no idea, usually I'm murdering someone so I'm not sure."

[@BM-yy8db]

As someone who's never even heard of Baccano, I gotta say from just that clip you showed it didn't come across as the "instantly know he's a psychopath walking in". I felt it much more like either a character lummox walking in, or a spoiled rich kid who knows he's untouchable. Only when it shows him choking someone it felt like danger to me. But that's just my 2ct.

[@simple-commentator-not-rea7345]

"I, AM THE GODDAMN HERO!!!!" Agree, this IS a great line, and DOES kinda define Jack's whole character. Still no the best line about heroism I've heard in a game though. That honor still goes to Spec Ops: The Line

Thank you for showcasing Liam O'Brien in "Monster". I'd never actually heard of the show before (I think I was vaguely aware of the manga), and I went down the rabbit hole and ended up enraptured--because your video piqued my interest. "Monster" kind of restored my faith in anime, to be honest--like there are still mature stories being told out there. And the dub was top-notch, you can tell everyone involved really cared about doing the project justice.

[@barrygeistwhite3474]

8:28 okay, so this is one of those things that is *so* easily overlooked and I feel like it needs a mention. The "total bitch" line is obviously meant to have a sort of deadpan delivery, but what most people would have done is just do it straight, cut right to the deadpan and pull the rug out. But what actually happens here is so much better - Handsome Jack himself, as a character, wants to do the deadpan delivery but is so goddamn amused with himself from the story he just told that he can't quite do it. You can hear that he's still smiling, his posture is relaxed, and he couldn't conjure up a fuck to give about you if someone had a gun to his head. It does such an amazing job of keeping in character and selling the other lines that came before it.

[@Clymaxx]

I agree. He could have gone full psychopath and just abruptly changed his tone. But that's not him. He's actually teeming with charm and charisma and can't hide it. It's just not directed in a nice way lol. He struggles with being the asshole he aspires to be but he's too full of confidence and bravado.

[@wherethetatosat]

"Holy nutballs, heh heh, what happened to your fricken face!?" "My husband gave me a skag pearl ring." "I'm so sorry, and where is he now?" "He's dead." "Well, that is a heartbreaker, but hey! YOU GOT SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH HIM NOW! Wilhelm, kill these savages..." He somehow bounces between being completely oblivious to social cues (OK not oblivious, he knows what he's doing and doesn't care), to being mildly charming, to full blown psychotic in the span of like 10 seconds.

Mako really sells Iroh as an incredibly wise mentor. I can't think of a single bad line that wasn't supposed to be bad for the sake of the joke (Nightmares and Daydreams has a few that are straight up hilarious, and all of the actor's lines in Ember Island Players are beautifully horrible).
