I was sooo bummed to find out that Gladiators voice was different and it sucks!! <br /><br />It threw me for a complete loop as I thought I could now throw the VHS version I taped when it aired.<br /><br />Guess not.<br /><br />And the introduction for the "Child of Light" episode is way less dramatic then it was on air also. On the DVD the music is blah and the sfx too.<br /><br />Man the only episodes I really wanted to be as I remember them was from the Phoenix saga. In the end, I gaurentee it all comes down to money and distribution rights. arrrhhhhhh, for the love of animated art!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105677530208676846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-23202652693535814672009-07-02T23:25:46.097-04:002009-07-02T23:25:46.097-04:00Being a huge fan of Jean Grey/Phoenix I recorded ...Being a huge fan of Jean Grey/Phoenix I recorded the Phoenix Saga and Dark Phoenix Saga back on its original air date when I was a kid. I still have the VHS. and watch it a couple times a year. Last Night when I watched Cry of the Banshee on my newly purchased DVD's I nearly fell out of my bed, that was not Gladiator's voice as I knew it! The original actor was so much better, this guy is crap!

I was watching some episodes on Toon Disney a couple of years ago, and I noticed that Gladiator was voiced by Richard Epcar, who's known primarily for ADR (automatic dialogue replacement -- dubbing voices to already-existing animation, such as imported anime). I found this very odd, since <I>X-Men</I> was recorded in Canada. Why would an L.A.-based ADR guy randomly do a voice on the show?<br /><br />But if he had a different voice originally (I certainly don't remember -- it was a long time ago that I saw those eps first-run), then it makes complete sense that if for some reason they needed to re-dub him, the would use a guy with experience matching existing "lip-flaps."<br /><br />This doesn't answer the question of <I>why</I> they replaced the original Gladiator's voice, but it certainly clears up a little mystery I'd been wondering about for a couple of years!!Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-15080622101966861852009-04-21T21:43:00.000-04:002009-04-21T21:43:00.000-04:00So guess this means you have hit the big time now,...So guess this means you have hit the big time now, Mr. Disney-is-sending-me-preview-dvds.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410453593816872710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-20688680171326131382009-04-21T00:01:00.000-04:002009-04-21T00:01:00.000-04:00@G.

Kendall<br /><br />I assumed as much, ill still be buying this set regardless.<br /><br />I know Gambit and Storm had different voice actors for season 1, yet I did not know that season 2-5 Storm redubbed the first season, interesting. I wonder if Gambit did the same.<br /><br />Also you mentioned the "Out of the Past" episodes, the reason for the higher quality animation is that those two episodes were a prime time special aired at 8pm in the summer of 1994. Marvel and Fox were really trying to get new people interested in the upcoming Phoenix Saga episodes.<br /><br />And for some useless information.<br />It was around this time Capcom hired the X-Men TAS cast do do voice over work for them in their X-Men arcade games. Everyone reprised their roles except for the females in which they had the Jean Grey voice actress do all the voices for the females in the game.<br /><br />Jean Grey also became the voice of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 3. And Jubilee has always been the voice of Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil series.<br /><br />Very cool of Disney to send you preview copies. Im almost jealous. =PMorgannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-47716874485451492272009-04-20T23:02:00.000-04:002009-04-20T23:02:00.000-04:00I couldn't say without hearing a comparison of the...I couldn't say without hearing a comparison of the voices. I'm pretty sure these are the same versions that air on Toon Disney/Disney XD. <br />I know that the actress who took over the role of Storm in the second season redubbed the first season, but it certainly sounds like the original actress is present in a few of these episodes.G.
