Why Is It Every Time Hollywood Makes An Animated Film Based On A Long Running Game, They Never Get The

Why is it every time Hollywood makes an animated film based on a long running game, they never get the original actors to play them; Sonic wasn't played by Roger Craig Smith, and while the I did enjoy the film, Ben Schwartz didn't exactly sound convincing sometimes. and the entire cast of Scoob! (Save Scooby) were replaced by big names who sound nothing like the originals.

Now for the Mario film, we get a casting that makes no sense; Jack Black as Bowser? Really? Seth Rogan as Donkey Kong? Can't see it. Keegan-Michael Key might be a good toad, though, I just hope he actually does the voice. But my biggest concern is Mario and Luigi; Charles Martinet has been voicing the two for nearly thirty years, perfecting the art, and while I do like Chris Pratt (and I'll be honest, I've never heard of Charlie Day), you can't just throw out the guys who have brought so much personality to our favorite characters.

This is the America I grew up in, and I’m only twenty.

This got me, I will admit...

I used to watch Robins movies and shows and I loved the joy and wackiness he brought to his rolls... then he died, and I swear I could feel all the happiness he brought out of everyone get sucked away into the void of death.

I know this isn’t Robin, but, for a moment, I thought he was back. Good job, Jamie, your work is admirable.

My little sister: "My hair is puffier on one side than it is on the other."

Me: "Maybe because you sleep on that side?"

Sister, frustrated: "I- I don't-... I don't sleep..."

me: *Loses it*

I found an old photo I drew of an old character I called the Patriot, so I redrew it for fun.

I kind of wanted a Captain America character I could use without copyright issues so I made this guy.

Head canon: Ray Stantz is autistic.

No, I'm not saying this because Dan Aykroyd is autistic, I have more to go on than that.

In both the films and comics, Ray is shown to be an easily excited individual, with fixations on things most people wouldn't find interesting, Ray also doesn't really understand social cues, or that most people don't understand the significance of his interests. The strongest piece of evidence for all four of these is the mass sponge migration that came to be in the IDW comics; Ray often times will go on about it or bring it up even when the situation doesn't require the story, and he doesn't get that most of the people he tells will not find such an event all that interesting.

Ray can be easily excited or distracted from more important subjects, such as when he, Egon, and Peter were looking at the firehouse; Ray is ecstatic about the firepole while Egon and Peter are looking at the structural integrity of the building, wanting to buy the building simply for the pole.

One of Ray's hyper fixations is, obviously, ghosts, wanting to know as much about them as possible, even opening a book store specifically for the occult so that he can easily reach whatever information he needs at the moment. And, as the Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer suggests, he still has the store, showing his fixation is stronger than a thirty year ghost drought.

Sometimes Ray can even infodump on subjects that people wouldn't normally understand, using terminology people don't understand, usually when informing random people on the class, history, and importance of a ghost he is currenting hunting.

And it would make sense that Ray, being portrayed by Aykroyd, would be autistic; Aykroyd co-wrote the films, so he would obviously write a character he could easily portray to a believable extent. Similar to Aykroyd's portrayal of Elwood Blues in Blues Brothers, a movie Aykroyd also co-wrote; Elwood has a hyper fixation on getting the band back together, even a fixation on keeping the car in the beginning of the film; he has an odd love of toast, and a manner of speaking that isn't extremely easy for most people to understand, but it's not hard either.

I think Aykroyd just likes to play characters that are more like him.
