And thanks to the no fun allowed types, we'll miss out of accents in the rest of the series.
Polnareff could have been hilarious.

They should have called him Jean Paul Eiffel
Jojo does not need accents imo. I don't think they worked well from as a good intro to the series either.
But then again I also hate it when american companies do accents for production basically every single time ive heard it done. I understand the point, but ehhhh, just not my cup of tea

Jojo quite frankly is crazy enough, it doesn't really need over the top accents to add to the cheese factor.
Im honestly not that big of a fan of the dub.
The voice overs were hammy, but never really over acted which is one of the pinnacles of the series. The announcer was not good imo either. But I think the WB dub was probably rushed before it could be refined. Judging by the way they released it (I got a feeling that Lawyers got cold feet at the last second)
Im always of the opinion that if you are going to use an accent in a series, just use natural born people. I also don't like the overuse of european accents in things localized for American audiences, and I doubt Europeans are going to want bad accents as well.
Lastly, there was no accents in the sub, I don't see why there needs to be accents in the dub. It's a creative overreach imo

For the better.
Nope, would have loved every second of it. But the naysayers and accent haters won. Plus Jim Jam wouldn't have had one as it would have been either super racist or Sasuke.
Yeah I remember. The outfits were throwing me off somehow.
Anyone like Wolf's Rain? I watched it back in high school and liked it a lot. I was at a local store a couple days ago and they had the complete series on bluray. I was looking for this for years and never found it anywhere to buy. Bought it and might watch some tonight. Hopefully the nostalgia holds up lol.

GOTG Vol. 2 has one of the best opening credits sequences I've ever seen.
Oh yeah. Way better use of that song than Doctor Who. ... Then again everything about that episode was a disaster.
I did think GotG Vol 2 did get a bit too cartoon-y at times, and I say that as someone that adores MCU's lighter tone.
He's typically a Doctor Strange villain. If they do a Doctor Strange 2, he's a contender.

That would have been a waste though. Save Shuma Gorath for the bigger, cosmic threats.
If you're talking about the scene I think you're talking about, I loved how ridiculous that was.
Fixed.
Eh. Better to save Shuma for a Dr. Strange sequel.
when's my marvel vs capcom movie
But all seriousness, I have little knowledge of the character aside from "he's in MvC and is from THE CHAOS DIMENSION!!", my mind just went straight to him because I don't know any other space tentacle creatures from the Marvel universe. Heck, I had to look up who they were teasing in the post-credits.
Also, I was asked if they'd make a new Howard the Duck movie since Marvel seems to have the rights back...........I'm fairly certain after the previous film & what I recall was an older demographic of the original comics, that won't happen.

Oh and Man God can't complain about Jim Jam's bullshit until he's read Part 5.
or Part 6

He has no clue how weird Jojo gets. Part 3 ain't too bad, but the levels of WTF in the later parts are equal parts hilarious and mind bending.

Every subsequent part in JoJo is more batshit crazy than the last.
You wouldn't believe them even if I told you.

Nah part six is Orange is the new Jojo
You could say what happens without spoiler tags, and people wouldn't believe you.
Jojo gets that outlandish.

"This week, we react to NHK's top 100 anime of all time, talk airplane censorship, consider whales as predators, say the word "pleb" out loud, come up with bird names, and make outdated gamer stereotypes. Plus, Tacos."
seriously guys that top 100 anime list was super fucked up
Awesome, just in time to listen to it while I clean up after GotG Vol. 2.
I should work with the Jojo OT guys to come up with something crazy, though I wouldn't be surprised if I just forget about it in a day or so.

He was a Cinnamon roll too good for this Earth
Jojo's descendants are all hooligans who disrespect their parents, get into fights with lawful authority figures, hang out with disreputable people like mobsters and Nazis, make satanic pacts with invisible punch ghosts.
Meanwhile OG Jim Jam is a gentleman who turns his breath into light based energy to fry vampires and zombies. Literally does god's work. His only sin in life was to hang out with Speedwagon, whom he tried and failed to get off of the path to hell.
