Idk if it’s different to others because they can’t understand Chinese, but to me the voice acting in Chinese is definitely more energetic and crazed than the English one, which portrays him as a cool, controlled guy. It’s probably the accent 😂
I have bad news for the shippers... 0:19 Macaque: long time, no see, *Younger brother!* 六耳：好久不见，老弟！ So, he calls him "old younger brother" and the old is the same kind of old as you would say for "old friend" this doesn't necessarily mean they're *biologically* related, but it does imply that most of the time they spent together was in a very sibling sort of way. In JTTW, Monkey calls Sandy and Pigsy “沙第” and “诸弟” respectfully. Which means "younger brother Sandy" and "younger brother Pigsy" since they're all deciples under tangseng. Monkey was first recruited though, do they call him “猴哥” which is " *older* brother Monkey"
@@boomgirlbucko don't get me wrong, you can absolutely ship them if you want to, it just made me laugh since he calls him "brother" specifically and in China it's less like calling someone "bro" and more like actually implying that there is a familial sort of feeling to their relationship. No worries, you can ship whoever you want, I've gotten a lot of flack for shipping characters who are immortal with characters that *aren't minors* because "he's too old for her" so no real judgement here. Though I'm not sure that "English is canon" is a good blanket statement. I'd say the English one is canon in places/parts of the Internet that speak English, and that the Chinese dubs are canon in Chinese speaking circles. For something like this, I think it's fun and culturally appropriate to look to the Chinese stuff as a way to know these characters better. The original Journey to the West was written by a Chinese person for Chinese people, and is chock full of Chinese culture. Likewise the show was written the same way. Despite being a new adaptation in an era where anything can get to anyone. The show was written by Chinese people for Chinese people + anyone that would enjoy it. So it's not a bad plan to use the Chinese stuff as a reference for things that happen in the show. Whether canon or not. TL;DR) I'm not trying to set any rules of what people can or can't do, I just think the Chinese stuff is neat
I love how Billy and Kaggy have always sounded similar. I'm glad he's taken up the role for Billy. I can tell the difference but i'm glad he's doing it for Billy
Alejandro Saab did an amazing job making sure he sounded just like Billy Kametz and it makes me smile hearing it. It’s feels like the voice actor never changed. Rest in piece Billy.
@@valhatan3907 nope, you can tell by the lip sync. It’s not customized for the mandarin translation. The mandarin version is released first, but the English voiceover is the original
Some of Macaque’s lines for season 4 were recorded prior to the voice actor passing away, with the replacement sounding rather similar. Pay close attention to the early voice lines vs the later ones in the video
wait so he’s not in anything else or did you make this before s4 was finished 💀 btw tysm for making this, macaque is my only motivation to watch lmk LMFAO
@@Theo-dh9pr bro can’t believe they did that i was literally on my hands and knees BEGGING for some good mac-swk interaction. i’m so disappointed :((. I mean they got some nice moments that I love, but they didn’t have a dramatic screaming, crying fight or arc between the two of them where they actually make up
@@wolfsonic9908 first goku, now this? damn this show is fire theres even a reference in season 1 epsiode 9 where when the giant macque slams mk he was positioned the same way yamcha was in dbz
I like this interpretation of Macaque! His voice is slightly higher pitched, but with a bit more lilt to it. In his earlier scenes, his tone sounds almost gentle but once he fully reveals his intentions, it sounds more mischievous. He doesn't actually change how he sounds all that much, it's just the context of the scene, which makes it really interesting.
@@hyjinx1889 No you missed the point. The story is originally Chinese and Chinese kids are familiar with watching Journey to the West in Chinese. So Chinese is the most appropriate language for these Chinese characters.
@@hyjinx1889 You may not understand Mandarin, but the characters say a lot of Chinese idioms that are not translated into English. Chinese language just captures the vibe of the original story much better.
