women’s voices tend to change less dramatically than men’s as they age.

Point to the child actor being discussed in this sentence.

That shark is so cute.

It runs in parallel with a show getting too many characters to handle. It accelerates the Flanderization of characters who don’t have a lot to do. Stranger Things had that problem as well, with a far too bloated main cast by the end.

Oh no.

Once time I found a set of human toes.

That’s why I specifically mentioned Bart. Bart sounds absolutely terrible now.

I’m well aware adult women are often cast to play boy children. That has less to do with longevity compared to casting men as it does their ability to better mimic the higher pitch of children. Over a significant time period though, the voice talent ages no matter the gender.

In the original Fallout I was quite proud of myself for picking up on the fact that Dogmeat was a Road Warrior reference.

It took me years to realize that the leather jacket and (to a lesser extent) sawed off shotgun were also riffing directly on Road Warrior.

Clipshows were a necessary evil on broadcast shows, especially scifi ones that cost a lot of money. Sometimes the show would have to do a clipshow or a noticeably cheap bottle episode to save up for an expensive episode. Also, in the pre-streaming era, people couldn’t just watch all the episodes in order on demand so an occasional episode summarizing what was going on was actually useful.

That’s not really what I’m talking about. I’m talking about actors that have already been cast who then play the same role for decades as if nothing about their voice has changed.

Have you heard Bart Simpson’s voice recently?

I think with long running superhero comics it is more like, if a specific run has jumped the shark and gotten too stupid.

What is simultaneously good and bad about long running comics is that the continuity is so convoluted that the writers can reset it after an especially bad run, or they can go do stand alone stories; and readers can just ignore entire chunks of continuity they don’t like.

Depending on the kind of show it is contextual, but here’s some.

If it is a tight self contained story that ends…and then more things happen. Stranger Things for example pretty much perfectly ended in season 1. There was a tiny dangling mystery regarding Eleven’s fate. Such things do not need to be a sequel hook, they can simply exist to tantalize and never be expanded on. This is like if Inception 2 was made and it answered the questions about Cobb’s spinning totem; it would utterly miss the point that the story was over and the ending was intentionally ambiguous.

If the actors or voice actors are simply getting too old for the part. Personally I have a good ear for animation’s voice acting. It drives me absolutely crazy when I hear noticeably aged actors reprising role or continuing them as if nothing has changed. Obviously some performers can last longer than others but for example modern Simpsons is unwatchable to me entirely on the basis of the voices. Even if somehow the writing turned around I simply can’t get past the voices. Similarly I could barely sit through The Incredibles 2, which supposedly picks up right as the first movie ends but all the voices are aged 14 years and I can hear it.

Perhaps delete this thread and put it !general@lemmy.world or put up the video as the post in a suitable community.

This is a community for questions, perhaps your link to somebody’s thought would be better in a community for it.

Am I going to have to sit through an unreasonable amount of jiggling tits?

No not at all. The only boob jiggle type moment I can think of happens many episodes in and lasts about 5 seconds. Default throughout the show you aren’t getting constant creepshot angles or focus on fanservice. The show is, more or less, of a wholesome tone that sometimes dips into some series moments. There is a catgirl later on, but she’s actually like cat-girl with an emphasis on cat like behavior and is a good character who is dressed slightly lighter than everyone else but nothing you’d think twice of seeing.

The show is good. Developed characters and episode to episode they are usually focused on problem solving whatever is in their way to get to the next step for their overall goal.

Not my problem.

I want to be scattered at Disneyland (note: I do not wish to be cremated).

I’m not taking advice from an obvious night monster.

If you have black coffee either because you’re out of creamer or doing a non-diary thing, sprinkling a tiny bit of salt into the coffee will take the bitterness out of it without tasting salty.

I’m genuinely having trouble thinking of a consumer product where the most widely sold brand or version is the “best” (highest quality, most durable, most features, best flavor, or whatever meteoric would be used).

I can think of a number of products where getting the “best” is a case of steep diminishing returns compared to the increasing price, and for the purposes of the “average” person the “best” product isn’t any better for them than the mainstream one. The “best” versions of some products are only better for those with the skills to make use of them or the need for the “best” quality or features.
