Voice-over roles are contract based, and not a full-time job, so it's not often that an actor is outright fired in the middle of their contract

I would hardly call it "firing" more than just not being asked back

I had a feeling

I don't know if you're serious or not but I am fairly certain more actors have done that without being blacklisted

> I get why they didn't bring him back Y'know, I actually don't get why. I know he had some controversial role in another property. But that seems like such a weak reason to not bring him back when Disney has brought back voice actors and even on screen actors with much worse things on their record.

Richard Epcar is a great voice actor, the problem for me is that he doesn't really capture that same smooth voice that Zane had in KH1 It's not a bad voice, it's just a different one

Billy Zane's godly voice helped a little though I watched Titanic and there's a scene where Zane's character says "Open your heart for me, Rose" and it gave me Vietnam flashbacks

Also btw, I didn't have a PS3 at the time when I discovered the game. So I had to play KH2 and KH1 on a PS2 emulator. Which means even though I got into the series as late as 2016, I still had to go through the god awful unskippable cutscene before the Riku-Ansem fight a million times like the rest of you. LEaD mE inTo EvERlaStinG daRkNess!

In case anyone wants to listen to the remix that started it all for me;

Okay, brace yourself, for this one's gonna be a long one I was watching a video on Youtube. I don't even remember what it was, but I believe it was about Zootopia. And the credits segment of the video had a remix of River Flows In You, I kinda digged it, so I went into the comments and found someone linking a video to the full version. I listened that on repeat a couple of times, until Youtube recommended me another remix from the same channel. A remix of Dearly Beloved, with the cover from KH2. And I just had to click it, because what the firetruck are all these anime characters doing with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck? So I clicked it and the music was just pure eargasm. I had to know more about this game, and well... the rest is history. If I hadn't been watching Youtube at that moment and stumbled across that one video that caused this chain of events, I probably still wouldn't know what Kingdom Hearts is.

My discovery of the series came about completely on accident I mean, we're talking real butterfly effect shit here

Indeed For me it was just the overall vibe I got from first playing it I got to the end of Roxas segment in KH2 and fell completely in love. I hadn't even gotten to the crazy shit yet I also hadn't played the first game yet either I started on KH2

You're still here, so you probably don't At least I wouldn't stick with a fandom as crazy as KH for 20 years if I regretted getting into it

I can't say things felt more predictable about KH3 back in 2013 Granted, I... wasn't actually part of the KH community back in 2013 I only discovered the franchise as late as 2016

I feel like that's because we're still early in the promotional phase

Azura

Assuming we'll start off in Quadratum Putting Yozora as my second

I'm putting my bets on Sora

Snake... Don't

I mean, I'd love to mention other examples than the NFT discourse that I roll my eyes at. But I'm not sure I wanna open another can of worms, lol. Also we're already derailed from the topic of this channel.

I am on Twitter Unfortunately

You have no idea how much I have to restrain myself whenever I see people complain about some stupid shit

Thank you

It's actually from Norse mythology And it's also my actual last name, haha

You... do know that "Alfheim" doesn't originate from SAO, right?
