what qualifies as a good portrayal in your opinion?

>>338003368
Maybe. Certainly seems like it but they most likely don't like the yakuza connection and tats regarding him or his cakeboi brother. They're definitely better than D.va though.

He seems like he would fit in in Dynasty Warriors.

I feel like because Hanzo is so generically Asian, he should've been the Chinese guy instead, and the recognizably plugsuit mecha pilot Japanese. Mei could then be the Korean environmentalist.

But this is Blizzard so they're probably mixing things up to keep us on our toes. Ha ha, nice one Blizzard, we didn't expect it at all.

He has a terrible accent and im not sure if its an english speaking guy that they just wrote japanese lines for and said "yea read this shit, its japanese"

While we're on voice actors, can anyone who speaks other languages fluently or very well tell me if the dubs have accents as per the english dubs?
Widowmaker is french, mercy is german, genji is japanese, mei is chinese, D.Va is korean, Zarya is russian and they all have from a slight to a heavy accent based on where they're from.
In the spanish (spain) dub at least, everybody sounds identical like they're all fluent spanish speakers, nobody has any sort of hint of anywhere else.
Japanese dub also all sound fluent nip speakers, but at least the voice actors try to match the character's personalities with the voices they put on.
Wondering if the other dubs at least try to give the characters regional accents or if the english dub is just superior by a mile.
And why do videogame dubs always just have personality in the dubbed voices and not even try to do the accents that make the voices so great in the original dub

Mercy is from Switzerland, but she speaks High German, which doesn't make much sense. Swiss-German as distinctly different, to the point that I can't understand my two swiss guild-mates if they talk amongst themselves.

While Mercy's VA is either bilingual or a native speaker, it's weird that she speaks the way she does. Imagine someone being from Scotland and speaking like a Texan.

I can imagine that some people from Switzerland would be a bit pissed about this. I was actually looking forward to hearing her with that accent, even if it sounds a bit silly.

The problem is, they probably couldn't find a VA from Switzerland or they didn't bother with it. Standard German doesn't have much of an accent, compared to all the other dialects, so they'd have to colour her English speech with that accent as well to make it sound authentic.
You'd end up with the VA speaking both German and English trying to imitate a foreign accent and it'd probably sound awful.

its because all the "vocal personality" and "accents" are based on stereotypes of how foreigners sound when speaking english.

Only America does that shit where each ethnicity has a retarded way of speaking english

So here's a history lesson

There was an indigenous ethnic group in Japan called the Jomon, with features that show up on every "cool" or "heroic" looking Japanese character. Us white people think they look "white" because they don't look stereotypically Asian, but that's just how they looked.

Another ethnic group, the Yayoi, came over from mainland China/Mongolia/Korea and have the stereotypical gook features like a round face, chinky eyes etc. Genghis Khan had a lot to do with spreading this all over Asia.

>>338009517 Toshiro Mifune is a Jomon, and is the quintessential badass Japanese look

Considering that so many Asian men are portrayed as effiminate whimps in western media, it's probably for the best.

Also there's the misconception that Nips want to be light skinned because of white people. It's actually because ancient Japanese royalty relaxed and stayed indoors, staying pale skinned, while the poor people and slaves worked in the fields all day and became tanned from the sun.

Basically

Its amazing how that particular societal comparison exists in almost every culture.

Black people see darker skinned black people as lessers because of similar connotations in america between laboring slaves and house/personal care slaves.

White people have it too but it kind of shifted over to perceptions of central americans, but non skin laboring connotations still exist (red hair/irish features etc.)

I wonder which ways we will find to tie our bias too in the future when a majority of people no longer need to work labor jobs
