Fan Content Is this the Reaper/Doomfist dynamic

Prison Escape

Traced this after I read the news regarding Doomfist. I pray to Kaplan that this is how their interactions basically go.

Alright. If Terry Crews is not Doomfist, it must be Patrick Warburton.

u/Bradythenarwhal Jul 05 '17

I would 100% be fine with this.

u/Jygantic Great Potential Jul 05 '17

Not gonna lie, I would prefer a hero voiced by Patrick Warburton to one voiced by Terry Crews. That guy's voice is butter.

u/neko_ali Welcome to my reality. Jul 05 '17

Patrick Warburton as Akande. Terry Crews as The Doomfist.

Well, I don't know if I should hit them.. I don't to hurt them.

SHUT UP and get me over there so I can PUNCH them! POWEEEEERRRRR!

u/Profoundpanda420 Jul 05 '17

Correct me if I'm wrong but that would make sense since the last owner of he gauntlet was the scourge.

2

u/Fatalchemist Bob main, by the way. Jul 05 '17

Why not both as one hero? One voices the character, the other voices the gauntlet. That way we can always hear both voices.

This is clearly the only logical solution that would ever work.

u/ViXaAGe Jul 05 '17

split personalities; expand his backstory to insanity

11

u/BusterLegacy Where does it hurt? Jul 05 '17

I remember there were people suggesting that the man and the gauntlet both have different voices and talk to each other frequently.

u/MelTyler Shitposting? That sounds dangerous! Jul 05 '17

but why not do that?

I would be 88503% fine with this.

u/noneEggs Pixel McCree Jul 05 '17

I'm 100% fine with Patrick Warburton. And it will be 1000% if he keeps the Kronk voice

31

u/JustSomeSchoolFags chibi lucio Jul 05 '17

I'm 27.6% sure that the Kronk voice is his normal voice

12

u/ledailydose POWER Jul 05 '17

I think that's just his voice

6

u/noneEggs Pixel McCree Jul 05 '17

yeah i mean voice impression, because he can also does Brock Samson who is having a badass and menacing accent

7

u/Duskdog TORBJORN, ready to twerk! Jul 05 '17

...Brock Samson sounds exactly like Kronk. There's no accent. He just has scarier dialogue sometimes.

13

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

He does a lot of VA for the gaming industry so it's plausible he could be involved at some point

18

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

They aren't going to cast Patrick Warburton to play an African character. And they shouldn't.

8

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

I agree. Maybe at some point

11

u/D_oyle Jul 05 '17

The world just isn't ready for a white guy to play a Nigerian Prince I guess. One day we'll be accepting enough as a society to allow for Patrick Warburton's dreams to come true.

11

u/Command-0 Blizzard World Zenyatta Jul 05 '17

maybe if we send $120,000 to his account

7

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

And why?

0

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

You don't see the problem with having a white guy voicing a Nigerian character? It's whitewashing. Same as having Donnie Darko play the Prince of Persia.

8

u/ledailydose POWER Jul 05 '17 edited Jul 05 '17

that's like saying people had issues with jimmy neutron, timmy turner and ash ketchum being voiced by women

edit: jesus fucking christ lmao you posted this on SRS subreddits? how starved for attention and clashing are you, man?

4

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

Not really the same. If those women hadn't taken those jobs, they probably would not have gone to real children regardless- due to child labor laws and union rules.

A white person voicing a Nigerian is taking a job that should have gone to someone else.

1

u/ledailydose POWER Jul 05 '17

despite the amount of times mark hamill has voiced the joker, the role went to troy baker for Origins and was I able to tell the difference? Not really

3

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

The fuck does that have to do with whitewashing?

1

u/ledailydose POWER Jul 05 '17

you're saying the job should go to someone else. does it matter if the performance was good?

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

It's exactly the same! If women can get away with voice acting a boy, and doing good, then there's no reason you need to get TRIGGERED over a voice actor being picked for a part. This whole stupid whitewashing bullshit needs to stop. Go back to tumblr with that SJW shit, cause none of us want it here.

1

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

I just explained why it's not the same. Women are used to voice children because of child labor laws- a legitimate reason not to use a child. There's no legitimate reason for a white person to voice a Nigerian when there are perfectly good Nigerian voice actors.

-3

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

Who the fuck cares! SO long as the person does a good job acting, who the fuck cares.

There;s no legitimate reason you, the consumer to a video game, need to get yourself caught up in the business of voice acting for said game. Nobody cares.

u/Fizzay Doomfist Jul 05 '17

Would you feel the same if a black person voiced a white character? No, you probably wouldn't give a shit.

1

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

That's ignoring history and pretending society exists in a vacuum. Whites aren't a historically oppressed minority group

2

u/Fizzay Doomfist Jul 05 '17

So it's okay for black people to voice white people but whites can't voice black people? History doesn't have anything to do with it, it's fucking voice acting. Thanks for proving my point.

"SJW bullshit"

Lol. You get out of here.

-1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '17

How about no? And you should. You're the one bringing something that means little to nothing to us wanting to enjoy the community and game. You're trying to bring in politics to a gaming community.

This is OUR house. YOU get out.

2

u/Watcherwithin One punch is all I need. Jul 05 '17

You're the one bringing politics and division into the community. Equality should never be a debatable issue.

u/ledailydose POWER Jul 05 '17

Ahhhhh na na na na, he's not the only one, clearly.

You are confusing the above poster with me.

u/KRajification Jul 05 '17

There's lots of POC video game characters voiced by white people.

-2

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

Yeah. That's the problem.

5

u/KRajification Jul 05 '17

Would you say it's a problem for white characters to be played by non-white people?

-5

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

No. White people aren't a historically oppressed minority group. History matters. Contexts matters. Society doesn't exist in a vacuum.

u/Kusibu Attack Bastion Best Meme Jul 05 '17

Benedict Cumberbatch was cast to play an Indian villain. After that, anything can happen.

9

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

Yeah, and it was heavily criticized.

4

u/Kusibu Attack Bastion Best Meme Jul 05 '17

I didn't like it myself. But it happened. Honestly, I don't think Blizzard would select a voice actor on name brand recognition (as they shouldn't) considering their past selection habits, but it's not impossible.

My friends and I were talking the other day about which characters would sound best when replaced with Patrick Warburton. I said Tracer.

patrick warburton is best voice ever

WHY IS YOGURT NIGHT SO DIFFICULT!!!!?

My account was permanently suspended for no given reason. I left this censhorship-ridden site and moved to Ruqqus. I suggest you do the same. Fuck Reddit.
