Most of the Marvel characters in What If are voiced by their movie actors, and almost every single one of them sounds off. Not enough to ruin things if you're already into the episode, but noticeable
A lot of it is low energy, but occasionally they go a little too broad with it like they're playing to the cheap seats, and it's weird to hear them basically doing a caricature of themselves
Edit: another good example is the first Dishonored, which had some big names in the cast who were very poorly directed for voice work
Yeah I forgot that but Del Toro is probably the worst case, he seemed to have just totally forgotten how he played the Collector before and they never showed him a clip to remind him
I seriously thought it was going to turn out he wasn't actually the collector, but an imposter.

I can understand the desire to want animated films to exclusively feature voice actors.
I don't particularly agree with it entirely, but it is a position I can understand.
I think there are certain studios who utilize traditional, physical actors very well within their animated features (Studio Ghibli and Pixar come to mind).
Like, I get not wanting anymore Shark Tale films in which the character work is designed around a celebrity-casting, but I don't think you are going to get a noticeable difference in quality if you subbed out Cloris Leachman for Tress MacNeille in Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky.
it's weird that this conversation popped out of that list of mostly very experienced voice actors?

Hang on, I could tell Madsen and Dourif did voices in that, but they had others?

Oh wow yes they did. Yikes.

Piero Joplin in particular was an example of just astoundingly bad voice direction for an otherwise good actor.

Yeah, Clancy Brown, J.K. Simmons, John DiMaggio, and Maurice LaMarch are all extremely experienced and talented voice actors.
But also, dubbing an existing foreign film is different than doing voice acting for an American production that is going to animate around your performance.

Some actors can do good voice acting. Some actors just... can't. Maybe something is missing, maybe some element of physicality is needed, or maybe it's just a garbage voice director (side note: the world has no idea how much it owes Andrea Romano).

She is an incomparable voice director and it super sucks she had to retire early due to losing her sight.

the only Ghibli movies that I've seen the Disney dubs of are Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke but I thought they were both great

I recall being extremely not impressed with the Princess Mononoke dub, but I have not watched it since it came out either
The first Huntsman movie was enjoyable? I think that's the best movie I've seen Kristen Stewart in. I believe she did emote in that film.

I’d rather watch Ghibli with subs, but I can’t figure out how to make HBO Max do that. The only options I can get it to do are Japanese with no subs or English dub with English subs, which is not helpful.

I mean, granted, I'm happy to hear Clancy Brown in anything but at this point he's more of a voice actor than anything else
And of course I've already laid out my grievances with Scoob multiple times
This is why I wish they’d redub the ghibli movies with voice actors

Though I like mononoke a bit more in Japanese with subs, just fits it well for me. But that’s just personal preference.
