There was some decent banter in tower mode but not in story mode. Definitely not hire her again and saves MK fans money and mental insanity to hear her voice again
Megan Fox single handedly cause the MK fans regret their hatred on Ronda and Dimitri now that Megan is here who is way worse than the two of them combined and I am all in for it.
Rambo was HYPE. shame about him being low tier, but the moves and Sly voicing was very cool. Terminator was such a disapointment when I realized it was a fake Arnie
@aryelrosa4829 that's crazy because neither is Stallone & Peter Weller but they did an amazing job voice acting their characters on MK11. (Excluding J.K Simmons who did an amazing job voice acting/Playing Spawn) there's no excuse for Meagan Fox & her not even trying to voice act.
@@aryelrosa4829Voice acting is really just acting without your face in regular acting you would see on screen and stage involved emotion through your voice and facial expressions... when people think of voice acting you think of impressions like stitch from lilo and stitch but really it's just expression emotion through your voice. Megan to be a good actress at that has to at least be good at that
Wasn't a matter of money he was never going to do it. He's already said he didn't want to voice while filming. Stop crying about it as it won't be difficult to find another basic white guy.
The fact they didn't even get mega Fox to do the grunts for nitara but instead got an actress that would've actually fit her character is just sad, funny and criminal
@@mlo009 But he tried at least, I think the voice is pretty good, the original kuai liang voiceactor just does a real good job, so it pales by comparison
Concerning Megan Fox, it’s not just voice acting that’s not her thing. If you’ve ever watched any of her movies, you’d see that acting in general is not her strong suit. Her underwhelming performances (regardless of the character she plays or how large her role is) are consistently one of, if not THE, weakest piece of almost any movie she’s in.
Exactly! Which scratches my head why NRS even picked her in the first place when there are so many better choices. Grey Griffen (the voice of Azula (Avatar the Last Airbender) and Catwoman (Batman Arkham series and Injustice) would have been a better fit for the character than A.I. robotic porn star who sounds my groaning cat with a vibrator up it's ass.
Ronda at least was expressive and it actually made the MK11 version a bit charming though a tad off putting in most scenes. I could tolerate her voice since Ronda put in a good effort and she does have a bunch of solid line reads. It’s just a handful of odd reads that probably would’ve been fixed with a bit more time/better direction. Sonya was fine despite Ronda’s voicing flaws, but you could grow to accept her’s at the very least and I didn’t hate Sonya because of Ronda. Megan Fox on the other hand has no soul behind her voice in ANYTHING. Like it feels like her first cold read and NRS was like “Yeah! That fits Nitara!” I was excited to see Nitara again, but MF’s performance made me hate her, and that’s something. It’s one thing to do it for the “wow factor”, but wow factors don’t always make the game better, especially when a disaster like this happens. Feels more like a waste on a game that is struggling to keep fans invested into the series. edit: Also fun fact, Megan Fox doesn’t even do the kombat foley. At least Ronda did her own foley.
It was just so painful to go though the story mode, be extremely invested in the story, and then have that investment be abruptly interrupted when Nitara opened her mouth. And it happened every single time she came back around.
It’s just a bad investment. There are talented VA’s that should have got the job over the celebrity cast members. On the other side of it, there are celebrity actors that do a great job like Peter Weller, but you reserve those for characters THEY ACTUALLY PLAY. There was never a doubt that JK Simmons wouldn’t nail it for Omniman. The guy is qualified as a VA as much as he is as an actor, given all the work he has done as both. I do not understand getting Megan Fox for the main cast. Ronda Rousey kinda made sense as a fan cast gone wrong, but Megan Fox was never gonna make the role any better, and I doubt it gained the game more attention. I don’t know what it cost, but a lot of people are pointing to the fact we’re not gonna have Antony Starr as Homelander, and I doubt we’ll hear John Cena as Peacemaker either.
In Brazil, a guessed star known as Pity (her biggest sing is Na sua estante) did voice act Cassie Cage in MKX, it was so bizarre that she hasn't been invited to continue the voice acting for MKX’s Kombat Pack 2…instead she’s replaced for Priscila Franco, whose kept the amazing work until MK11.
@@detectivemadoka69420 não aí é verdade! Mas digo, no âmbito geral de “famosos-convidados-para-dublar” ela ainda assim fez um trabalho abaixo da média de dubladores profissionais…aliás você me lembrou, eu vou comentar no meu comentário a respeito da Pity em si! 👍🏻
Just remembered: I’m not comparing Brazilian Voice Acting with worldwide voice acting, I’m just putting some more stuff to the discussion itself, I’m not saying X Country voice acting is better or worse, even though Brazilian Voice Acting will always be the best…just kiddin’ (or not, maybe)! About Pity, not saying she is awful, she's a great, very talented singer and has a beautiful voice! But, as a voice actress…she's a great singer may I say!
You should know Megan Fox did the VOICE for Nitara, but Cristina Vee did the EFFECTS for her as well. So I, too, wish Megan's voice was optional as well.
The funniest part about the Megan Fox voice is that they didn’t even use her voice for the actual fighting. All the grunts and screams are Christina Vee. So NRS KNEW Megan Fox sucked and still went with her.
Never liked MK11 but seeing footage of it made me miss it... That's so weird, but ig it says a lot about "MK1"... It's like MK lost its essence or feel and MK11 still had it.
that's not an excuse to have her get some VA coaching. Anyone with some sense would not have hired her after reading the first few lines, but Ed did it anyway.
I didn't think about this issue but your right that money could of went to developers to make the game better, skins, game play or add more characters exc and if you didn't know Frank Dukes was a lier about his dimmonk death touch which is fitting the bill of Nrs lying there's so much to do in this game.
Bruh it's been a little over a month since I last played mk1 and every video I see on RUclips makes me not wanna play any time soon. I don't think Peacemaker is gonna save this game tbh 😢
Her and Ronda both suffer the same issue great voice but you can tell not alot of voice acting experience. No matter what there saying it all sounds the same emotion wise.
I will never understand why people believes voice actors are god, it is an important role, sure, but they are not the most important part of the game like too many claim
Mortal Kombat has always been about gimmicks when compared to Street Fighter or Tekken. It's gathered a ton of casual playerbase which it has sadly lost with its gameplay mechanics.
I never knew people hated sonyas blades VA. I didnt have any problem with it. It seems pretty ok. Whats really noticeable was Megan Foxs voice acting. 😅
If anyone follows mma, Sean Strickland had words with some popstar Megan Fox dates, i dont know the guys name, but Strickland repeatedly calls the guy a vampire and says, "I dont know what happened to Megan Fox she is dating a vampire". And Strickland meant it literally, he thinks he is a vampire, she thinks she is a vampire. I wonder if this is some kink thing between them and she wanted the role. I dont know, im not trying to play detective, i just heard the interview and then saw this
I personally thought Sonia in Mortal Kombat 11 had pretty good voice acting and had a beautiful younger character model. The older version has a bad face. I guess that makes me kind of weird. There are a few lines and dialogue, where Megan Fox does a fairly passable job.
As an aspiring Voice Actor myself, I understand how hard voice acting is. You're not only playing a character, staying in character the whole time because when you're playing a character, you as a person don't exist as you're not you. Also, depending on the character, you may have to alter your voice, tone, pitch, know what words to emphasise and for how long etc etc. Also, some people think it's all the voice actor's fault if the voice acting is bad, there's a bit more to it than just that. It isn't just, the actors are in their booths doing their thing then it's done. There's also a performing director next to the actor or in an opposite room making sure the voice acting is good and always double checking if that particular audio of the actor's voice is worth using for the final cut, if not they'll do another take of it. Or on some occasions, the performance director will micro director, that pretty much means telling the voice actor everything they need to do, like how they should sound when reading certain lines, (especially if the voice actor isn't sure), what emotion they need to portray and what to do, so the voice actor is getting paid for doing what they're told. That's why I don't get as upset for bad voice acting as I'm aware how hard the business is, and it's a hard business to make a living in, but at the same time I give so much praise to those who are able to do it flawlessly. I really enjoyed this video, this was fun to watch as it interested me.
Minor correction. Peter Weller did have one voice acting role. He voiced an older Batman in one of the animated movies. I don't remember the name of the movie.
Thank God I'm Brazilian and I play MK games in Portuguese, the only bad thing they did to us was to put Pitty as a voice actress of Cassie Cage in MKX, that was a terrible decision.
I think it would be fair to have beef not with developer as a whole regarding celebs voice acting, but with sound producer (sound director or whoever is in charge). I doubt that Megan or Ronda were in the booth on their own without someone saying "Cut! That's fine. Next line." Someone was directing that and they could give them direction or advice, they could make several takes and choose the best, but they didn't. Or worst case scenario - they did and the lines we have are the best they found.
Honestly i think cole yung would be pretty cool to reprise his character if he comes in to a game. The thing is that the character could be better just with a slight change like instead of tonfas he could make whatever weapon her wants like in the concept art.
What's even more painful about the whole Megan fox and Ronda situation is that Tekken7 also had Jeffrey Dean Morgan who naild the roll. Then Tekken8 rocks up With Vincent Cassel who not only is a very accomplished actor. But Victor Chevalier is a Type of character he Plays well. The Tekken team perfectly cast him.
Oh and Similar to Van Damme. Carl Weathers in MKX ( Rest in peace GOAT ) was a Skin for Jax where he Dubbed Jax's Lines. Another great Choice of including a celebrity.
If they got the same voice impressionist as Terminator to be Homelander, it should be MUCH easier for them to sound like Antony Starr than the strongly-accented Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Ronda rousey wasn’t a bad voice actor like genuinely not saying this because I love wrestling she quite literally was NOT a bad actor trying to compare her to nitara (Megan fox)is wild
Idk what's up with nrs. It feels like there are people behind the scenes that just aren't willing to tell the actors "That sucked, we need a new take" but that goes into things with the game itself
In Mk11 Rhonda at least tried to be into the character (Assuming she is not an actress). In Mk1... Why did NRS think picking Megan Fox to be Nitara could be a good idea? Her acting voice as Nitara was god damn awful!!
I actually liked Rhonda in the role, thought she delivered her lines well enough and looked good Sonya. Megan looked good as natara but she didn’t even try with the voice work.

Bro tryna suck what money he can from the game before its officially in the grave 😂
Im willing to bet the money used to pay Megan Fox could have instead been used to pay Anthony Star for Homelander
I heard that she was supposed to get her boyfriend to do some voicelines too but when he heard MK is over 18 years old he lost interest.
Definitely i still get mad that i spent 100$ on this pos
Ronda rousey wasn’t a bad voice actor like genuinely not saying this because I love wrestling she quite literally was NOT a bad actor trying to compare her to nitara (Megan fox)is wild
Idk what's up with nrs. It feels like there are people behind the scenes that just aren't willing to tell the actors "That sucked, we need a new take" but that goes into things with the game itself
I play mk 1 and I have many skins but when I play on two consoles one of them has no skins and no purchased characters how can I solve this?
In Mk11 Rhonda at least tried to be into the character (Assuming she is not an actress). In Mk1... Why did NRS think picking Megan Fox to be Nitara could be a good idea?
Her acting voice as Nitara was god damn awful!!
Now i see why Sean Strickland called her man a vampire
That was the most random pineapple pizza shot I’ve ever heard wtf lmao
I actually like Rhonda and it didn’t fall flat to me. I feel like her stoicism fit the military tough girl thing. I truly didn’t mind it.
Instead of Megan Fox, NRS should’ve cast Laura Bailey or Bekka Prewitt to voice Nitara.
The voice acting in this game is the least of their problems this video could’ve actually gone without fr
Sf6 modern control is awesome
It allows new players to compete pro old classic players
Ronda and Megan literally just made me make Sonya and Nitara respectively my Fatality/Kombo training dummy.
I actually liked Rhonda in the role, thought she delivered her lines well enough and looked good Sonya. Megan looked good as natara but she didn’t even try with the voice work.
