One key info missing in this video is the very first person who voiced Wario in English: the late James H. Sawyer Sr., who voiced Wario in the now iconic Super Mario Land 2 commercial, aka *Obey Wario, DESTROY MARIO!*. Sadly his discovery was only made long after his passing. Not to mention Chikao Ohtsuka, whose performance gave Martinet a run for his money.

For me, Chikao = (Japanese) Master Xehanort His son, Akio, took over this role after his father died, so he (the son) plays two versions of Xehanort. As the English-speaking voice actor for that character was (and for most of the fanbase will always be) Leonard Nimoy (yes, Captain Spock)

@16-BitGuy Literal doesn't mean fitting. It means using the most literal definition of each word. "Mist" on its own means manure. I think the most fitting translation for the whole phrase would be something like "Ah, crud!", since it's not as vulgar as "crap". In German, "Mist" is a very tame word. There's even a famous children's TV character that uses it as his catchphrase. So, "crud" is more fitting than crap. "Crap" is like saying "Scheiße" or "Kacke", which is a bit more vulgar.

As a German, I always understood "so ein Mist" (directly translated it means 'such a (pile of) shit'), but never thought that it was actually spoken that way - by a German. Until now, I always assumed that it was the English "oh, I missed". Knowing that a German basically 'sneaked' a German sentence in there makes me laugh quite a bit. But maybe this is just the speaker's revenge for the fact that Germans are always immediately associated with aggressive language and malice. I mean, the dark chapter of our history should finally be over, right? 🙂

Yet I always refused to believe that he was actually saying this, telling myself it was something in English that sounded similar somehow. I guess I own my friend an apology...

I think a case like Nick's where he gets a start doing some relatively minor work that quickly leads to a bigger company bringing him on to do more noteworthy characters is going to become more common. However I have mixed feelings on it as, it definitely feels like companies moreso do this for petty motivations like VAs getting older or being part of a union. Ultimately I'm happy for young fresh talent getting big breaks and iconic roles like this if it helps their careers in the industry, especially if I still enjoy their performances as these characters!! However I feel really bad for veteran VAs who seemed eager to keep lending their talents to characters only to be discarded or told they no longer should fill that role. This isn't a totally new thing either, the Sonic franchise infamously recasted the entire cast of the series quickly after the Sonic Adventure games and started using the Sonic X cast then on before recasting most of them once again over time. However that was less a case of injecting fresh talent and more a case if them trying to synergize with the anime, which in the long run was pretty pointless and lead to a lot of talented VAs having their time on the series needlessly cut short even if I did grow to enjoy many of those New VAs as well. In short, I hope some day companies start treating VAs better because if not the new talent will face the same problems the old talent did and the etiquette from companies will never improve on this front.
