Why don't cartoon characters talk like normal people?
I'm currently watching Assault on Arkham and I'm about to quit. Every sentence gets followed up like 5 seconds of silence, even during dialogues. And the voice actors themselves sound more like parodies then real people.
Everything feels and sounds awkward and I don't like it.
I actually just rewatched it last night and the voice acting for literally everyone outside of joker and the wall was shit
Samuel Adams
I feel like Cyber City Oedo is relevant to this thread

>He was this smug cynical character who is good at everything and acts like he doesn't care. So he was Deadshot?
Bentley Smith
it really isn't, Assault on Arkham is grossly overrated. maybe if you said something more along the lines 1.5x I'd agree.
Bentley Cooper
>Every sentence gets followed up like 5 seconds of silence, even during dialogues
I agree with you 100% on this.

Realistic diction is terrible in fiction. Do you really want to suffer thorugh a bunch of "um" and "like" and every female character having their voice go up at the end of a sentence like it's a question? You know what Sup Forums creator uses realistic diction? Fucking Bendis. Do you really want more of that?

GAWDDAMMOT.
Julian Evans
all media is like that. Even in Anime they don't speak Japanese the way they do in real life.

BECAUSE WE CAN'T ALL LIVE IN A FANTASY LAND WHERE EVERY DIALOGUE SCENE EVER IS WORTHY OF TARANTINO AT HIS FINEST.

>thing are either total dogshit or pure platinum

Exactly. People don't forget what they were saying, everyone is perfectly heard and people don't talk over each other in group conversation unless it's an argument.
Angel Ward
Bendis? The writer?
Nathaniel Powell
NANI?
Aiden Russell
anime being shit doesn't mean everything else should be as well
John Mitchell
He's bad

You've never seen a group of japanese young women tourists all screaming together at the same moment for some unknown reason.

Because when writers try to make their character talk natural, the results are almost always Joss Whedon's brand of snarky, forcedly casual quips or Bendisspeak. If the writers were good, they'd be award-winning novelists instead of cooking up scripts for direct-to-video cartoon movies.
