Worst Recasting changes

Brooks Gardner replacing Aron Kincaid as Killer Croc is the one that probably stands out the most for me. Kincaid had this cool menacing gravel to his voice that he could switch up to make him sound dumb to down right dangerous. Gardner sounded like a buffoon the whole time and never once seemed scary.
 
Linda Ballantyne replacing Terri Hawkes as Sailor Moon.

Terri was perfect in the role, she had Usagi's wacky and goofiness down to a T (like the original japanese actress).

Tracey Moore has a cute and youthful voice, but she didn't really "get" the character. Terri did, she IS Sailor Moon.
 
Well, Jim Cummings did a decent job as a replacement for Shredder in the European episodes. Though Avery was replaced for the 8th and 10th seasons.
 
Okay, here goes...

David Nowlin as Sam, Andrew Chaikin as Max, and William Kasten as Max in the Sam and Max episodic series. :mad: :mad: :mad:

This really angers me. Bill Farmer and Nick Jameson, to me, were the best Sam and Max voices of all time. But when Lucasarts refuses to sell either of the projects where Farmer and Jameson voice the characters, Telltale had the chance to bail the original voice actors out... but instead, they cheapen the Sam and Max series by using generic imitation actors who sound nothing like the original! WTH?!:confused: Now Sam sounds like a freakin' robot, and Max sounds like the love child of Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks! I want Sam and Max to sound like Sam and Max, not characters from a freakin' Star Wars game!:yawn:

Hopefully someone agrees with me on this.
 
I agree with you about Velma, except I was okay with Pat Stevens as Velma. It's Marla Frumkin and B.J. Ward who didn't get the voice quite right. I sort of like Grey as Daphne though. Just my opinion.
 
I'm pretty sure Dan Castellaneta is the only voice of Homer Simpson and just protrayed the character differently in the early episodes. I could be wrong but I don't think I am.
 
No you're right, Dan has always voiced Homer Simpson. In the early days Homer was more of the dimwitted, kinda grouchy type but as the show went on he became less of that mold and more of the dopey simpleton of today.
 
When Dave Coullier took over as Peter Venkman, he arguably made the character come across as an overly (it seemed like Coullier was trying a bit too hard to sound like Bill Murray) sarcastic jerk. The change in Janine's voice actress I believe, was an intentional attempt to soften the character (in order to come across as more material, and less tough and "New Yorkish").
 
Yeah, Dan originated the Homer voice for a character he called 'Mr. Balloon-Head'. Before the Simpsons shorts which led to the series, Dan had never tried getting angry, mopey or despondent with the Homer voice. Ironically, as the series went on, Homer became less grouchy and more dopey.
 
The voice actors who replaced Lennie Weinrib's roles on that CGI Voltron series from the late '90s. I think, that Tim Curry took over as Lotor, Kevin Michael Richardson took over as Hunk, and Billy West took over as Pidge.

I in a way, didn't mind Tim Curry as Lotor (although Weinrib's Lotor had more of a Raul Julia-esqe voice), bit Richardson and West's Hunk and Pidge sounded way off base from what I remember from the original Voltron. Richardson made Hunk sound too Barney Rubble-ish (Weinrib's Hunk had a harsh, Queens, New Yorkish voice) while West's Pidge I suppose, sounded like a cross between Pee-Wee Herman and Doug Funny.
 
And what is wrong? Seems to me as though Ms. DeLisle is doing her best to create vocal continuity, one would think. Funny you should link Mindy Cohn & Nicole Jaffe together, since Mindy based her characterization of Velma on Ms. Jaffe's work in the original series.
 
amy, rini, serena, and mina in the final two seasons of sailor moon

amy voice in the dic seasons defined who this character was i very smart and sweet and humble girl the cloverway amy had none of that she sounded far too sobbish.

mina might be a little ditzy but sailor venus is not the cloverway voice made her sound like she had no idea what she was doing.

i must be the only person in the world who actually like rini english original voice her new one mostly as sailor mini moon was way too sweet sounded and she sounded way to much like Ino from Naruto

Terri Hawkes is Usagi/Serena/sailor moon to me end of story.

i mention darien but that guy had so many voices it was hard to tell them apart.
 
Ah, but you forget, or more likely, don't know!....In 1969, when the Scooby Doo legend began, HNK did not enact Daphne Blake. The DB role was originated by a Broad named Stefanianna Christopherson, who's also been professionally known as Indira Danks. As Indira Danks, she appeared on a Sanford & Son episode; she was a BIG WHITE HOT BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! Just sayin'. HNK assumed the Daphne Blake role starting in Sept. 1970. You also forget/don't know of Mary Kay Bergman, who enacted Blake in the first 3/4 Scooby Doo DTVs (starting with 1998's Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island).:)
