Has Seth Green improved as Leonardo? - Page 6

Purse Grabbin Puke · 08-29-2015, 10:40 PM

People take things comedians say on twitter way too seriously. And yes Biggs is a comedian, he's done way more comedies than drama. He had/has the perfect Leo voice, I hate Seth Green's voice, but this very last episode it was not as annoying as it has been. It's a cartoon, so I'm not going to get too riled up about it. I just prefer Biggs or even the guy doing a Biggs impression.

Children watching this show are never going to read or even KNOW who the actor is that is voicing these characters. It's just nonsense and part of this "GOTCHYA!" society on the internet who take pride in causing people their jobs for their jokes, or opinions.

Yeah I'm fine with Seth Green voicing Leo. It was an adjustment at first in the beginning of season 3, but now I think nothing of it.

Rukitron · 09-06-2015, 12:22 AM

I think it's imrpoved over time it sounds a little more similar to biggs but not quite and that's fine.

This is a biased poll...

i honestly Loved Seth Green as Leonardo since 'Within the Woods'.

His voice is nice now. I think it needs a little time to get used to and now he fits like a glove.

His voice is like sex to the ears.

There's a difference when he's joking about people dying in an airplane crash. Comedian or not, that sh*t's not funny at all no matter what you may think. I'm glad he's gone and that Seth's there because Seth's better anyway and he has more class unlike Biggs.

We've reached the point now where I find it weird not hearing him in the older eps.

*ranger_scout* · 10-12-2015, 12:31 PM

I believe that if Andrea Romano, the voice director, had any problem with the way Seth is voicing Leonardo, then she would not be doing this job right now. She might also have removed her name from the credits of this show like she did in Jetsons: The Movie when Universal had Janet Waldo's voice for Judy Jetson be replaced by former pop star Tiffany if she did not approve of Seth's portrayal of the character.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-13-2015, 11:43 AM

Exactly. He auditioned for the part, and he got it. I think he's doing a great job. However, I don't think Jason's removal had anything to do with his portrayal of the character. I think there was a lot more to it, especially as someone who visited the studio was informed that he was let go, which was the phrasing that was used. They didn't say that he left under his own terms.

Yes, I am aware of the information from the person who visited the studio. I was just talking about the job Seth is doing right now. I was saying that Andrea Romano must like the way Seth voices him. If she did not approve of the way Seth was voicing the character, then she would have done what she back in 1990 with Jetsons: The Movie. Sorry if there was any confusion.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-13-2015, 05:09 PM

Ah, I see. My apologies.

newhire13 · 10-13-2015, 07:23 PM

I've grown to like Seth's Leo but Jason Biggs as Leo was really inspired casting. He captured Leo's youth, his integrity, his arrogance, his heart, and his toughness perfectly. Andrea Romano was right on the money as far as I'm concerned.

*ranger_scout* · 10-14-2015, 12:41 PM

I prefer Green's voice because it is a unique tone that has more believabity, warmth, and a fine leadership quality to it as well.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-15-2015, 02:56 PM

Yeah, I'm with you, RS. Biggs's voice sounded like Leo hadn't reached puberty yet, and there were times when he'd gasp and it just sounded too forced. Seth is way better suited for the role and he's doing a great job. Can't wait to see how far he takes the character in season 4.

GildedLily · 10-15-2015, 05:45 PM

Of course, like I'm sure some of us, whenever we get a new voice for a character it takes a while getting used to. I was happy to hear that Seth got the role of Leo, and was even more happy/rooting for him when he mentioned how his wife always was a huge Leonardo fan.

Imagine what it's like at home? He probably drops all kinds of Leo lines with the wifey heh.

But I digress. At first, yeah, it took my ears a bit of time to get used to it, since I was so used to Biggs and Dominique. But Seth has really grown and gotten into the role a bit more, and I feel (or at least to me) that he has improved. Seems each episode, he's just getting better and better as Leo. And I'm quite happy he's Leo.

I mean, I'll admit; listening to Rob as Raph all through my childhood, and then hearing he'd be Donnie. At first, I was like, "I don't know..." but even then, that grew on me. I think they have the perfect foursome VA cast for the Turtles now. I wouldn't change a thing (but that's just me)

*BubblyShell22* · 10-16-2015, 07:56 AM

Yeah, I heard his wife was a huge Leo fan and now she's married to her own Leonardo. That's gotta be cool. And I agree that Seth keeps improving with each new episode, which is awesome!

For the time being, Biggs fitted the role of a younger and inexperienced Leo and despite his comments, I think he did pretty well. But Leo seems to have grown mentally since season three that I'm not sure how Biggs would fair. I guess you could say that it was perfect timing that Seth stepped in. Even though I wish he had voiced Leo from the start since the transition between the two was rather jarring at first. But Seth's voice is the Leo I prefer. I prefer Leo to be the strong and focused leader that he strives to be.

so yeah, this poll is very bias.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2015, 01:15 AM

Seth is great now. He was a bit shaky in the early Northampton episodes but ever since they got back to New York he's been great.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-17-2015, 08:26 PM

I watched Scooby Doo 2 movie again recently (after so long) and can't believe I forgot that I've seen Seth Green as Velma's boyfriend in that!

It's awkward whenever he speaks because I'm picturing Leo instead.
