WTF casting agency? · 12:01am Sep 13th, 2017
So the newest trailer for the MLP movie came out. Looks good. Still not sold on the animation style, but still looks alright.
However there is a major problem I have with the movie already: the casting of Taye Diggs as Capper.
Now, let's get a few things straight. I don't have any problem with Taye Diggs; hell I don't know enough about him to have a problem with him. And I hadn't heard his voice until this new trailer. Here it is, by the way, Diggs can be heard at the 1:00 mark: https://youtu.be/KNcus0-z9AM
I mean...wow. That is not at all the voice I hear when I look at someone like this:
I mean, LOOK at this motherfucker. When I look at him I hear a sly, seductive, Khajiit-style, slightly Hispanic voice, not some wisecracking "homey from the block" type that Diggs seems to be going for.
I mean, damn.

You just want Antonio Banderas, don't you?
4667191
Or whoever voiced the Khajiit in Skyrim
4667281
A fine choice as well, but it's hard to speak of Hispanic cats and not remember this:
