HeartOfMetruNui Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) After all those years, now, after rewatching the original movies I noticed that the voice actors of the Toa Metru completely forgot the way that they used to dub the characters during the time between LoMN and WoS. My biggest disappointment was the voice of Vakama - in LoMN it was FLAWLESS. Really, he had some sort of forign accent to his words, he sounded very hero-like yet had his doubts. In WoS, its like most of the actors completely lost their passion. For example - compare Vakam's voice: listen to those two lines one by one:LoMN - https://youtu.be/_DKLLCJI-_8?t=1h4m15sWoS - https://youtu.be/beDjUvU1v9U?t=1h11m34s (The audio is a bit pitched down here, but it still makes the point clear) The voice acting is one of the many reasons that I elect LoMN as my personal favorite movie (in addition to plot, characters, locations, powers, pacing, concept, and design :] ) Do you also find the voices VASTLY different? Lets discuss it, and the movies in general Edited November 6, 2016 by HeartOfMetruNui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I noticed that, too. Vakama's accent got changed up enough and his voice was a few tones deeper, which didn't sound right to me. Onewa and Nuju were both deeper as well, and Nuju got louder, an odd trait for an Ice character. There was something off about Matau and Nokama, but I can't quite place it. Whenua was alright, but he had so few decent lines in the third movie that it's hard to make a good comparison.

ToaTImeLord Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Slight changes in voice between the movies could be explained by the Toa's mutations in Web of Shadows.

ToaTImeLord Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) What joke I was taking about the Toa characters when they mutated in WoS.The voice actors could have decided to make small changes in their voices to match that. EDIT:Changed the wording of the first post so no one gets upset.I still don't understand how that's a joke?

MrSciFiGuy Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Slight changes happen. It wasn't a blockbuster hit where they are immersed in the character. And several of the Toa changed voice actors anyways between 2 and 3 Quote Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

HeartOfMetruNui Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Slight changes in voice between the movies could be explained by the Toa's mutations in Web of Shadows. They had their voices changed even before (and after) being exposed to the hordika venom. Slight changes happen. It wasn't a blockbuster hit where they are immersed in the character. And several of the Toa changed voice actors anyways between 2 and 3 Actually, that's not true. I cheked BS01, and the cast remained the same for every returning character (the toa metru and turaga vakama).

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Altering a character's voice inflections is a common way of illustrating internal character development. I figure the Metru's voices were different to help show how they changed over the course of the two movies. 1 Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels.

Dogbert Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 To be honest, I didn't notice it. As far as I can recall, they sounded the same on the Latin American dub.
