I don't want to rain on anyone???s parade here but the man did a lot more then voice acting for a character on one cartoon show, I don't think its nice to do a tribute for him out of cuts from this single show.

If you read back a little further you may find other people referencing his other works or a least the fact that he??accomplished other works. Even so, when someone is lost, people have different ways of remembering them. Some may remember Mako as a brother, a loving father, an uncle, a mentor, a caring husband, a leader, an idol,??a superb actor, a founder,??a teacher, a friend, or even the voice a revered, well-liked??cartoon character. The point is that he remains in our minds in some way, as well as in our hearts.

*snif* that made me cry..that's not saying much, but still...
I hope you get to feeling better eventually, even though so much has happened. Try not to think about the superstition side of it. Everyone has a certain amount of time that they're supposed to live, and even though all of this might have changed your life, I hope it won't scare you enough to control you the rest of your life.
It's not over..keep your friends close and soon this will all be another chapter in your life.

This is an Avatar forum so it makes perfect sense to do tributes based on that work especially since it is from this show that we have a majority of the clips, footage and voice information to draw upon. So to criticze on an Avatar forum that clips from Avatar are being used makes no sense to me.
Of course Mako had an extensive background and it has been referenced in various places on this forum. Showcasing his work on Avatar on an Avatar board filled with Avatar fans may not be nice to you, but it certainly is relevant. Of course your opinion is a valid as anyone else's, but my opinion about your opinion is it wasn't very nice to disrespect someones work just because that person may not have done it the way you wanted. Why not do your own instead?

dumbTVnut obviously does not understand that the nature of humans is to mourn lost life. |

| cute, how so many can feel connected to a man they never met, cry over a fictional person who???s actor has died... what I'm saying is that morning of a man should be left to those that really knew him, not to those that think they did but didn???t. The memory of him becomes corrupted; the memory of his personally becomes a corruption of the memory of the personalities he played and how people see him afterwards becomes a farce of who he really was. James Doohan was not just Scotty, Christopher Reeve was not just superman and Deep Roy is not just a @#$%ing umpa lumpa! |
Uh, last I checked .. you're not the "boss of me" or anyone else except yourself ??and I refuse to accept any right you claim to tell me what I should or shouldn't do, say, think or feel or even how I can interpret things.
Mourning can take more than one form. As I stated way back in this thread that although I will miss his talents, my thoughts were with his family who lost so much more. I truly doubt anyone here (unless they did personally know him) feels they mourn him more than his family friends and colleagues, but that doesn't mean he (and other public figures) aren't mourned at other levels.
If that's the way you feel, then fine that's your gig, but that doesn't mean it has to be our gig.
My work? My one picture in the picture thread where I said my thoughts were with his family?
I thought you were??talking about??mellomuse's tribute.
(shrug) You can criticize all you want, but that also means??others can criticize your critique.
Maybe you should consider using the word should less often and people won't interpret your critiques as being bossy.

| Seriously I would like to hear what going to happen to Iroh. U4ric, I'm not bossing you, you can do as you want; morality is relative. I don???t want to anger you further but you should be more open to criticism of your work, either that are maybe you should reconsider displaying it. |
As far as what will happen to Iroh, from what I understand season two's voice work was completed. I imagine the writers will not adjust the story - so if Iroh was supposed to die he will and if he's not supposed to I imagine the role will be recast.
