voice actors should be seen and not heard

[mangaroo]

I was a little disappointed when I put in my final Avatar DVD and saw that the last two commentaries were for episodes 3.16 and 3.17. To be clear: I was delighted that 3.17 had commentary, because I love that episode like I gave birth to it, but I was surprised that the creators didn't choose to comment on any part of the two-hour finale (episodes

Oh, no commentary for the finale is disappointing. :/ I just can't imagine they didn't have anything to say about it. Oh well.

Did Dee Bradley Baker do the voices in Nightmares and Daydreams? Secretly, I'm glad you brought up Momo and Appa, because it gives me a chance to show off my icon.

Secretly, I only mentioned Momo and Appa because I was hoping to see a Momo Yojimbo icon.

I'm not sure. I don't seen any other actors getting credit for talking Momo and Appa, and Dee Baker is credited with incidental voices in every episode, so I bet he did do their speaking parts as well. I'll haveto rewatch teh commentary as soon as my DVDs arrive.

And speaking of casting: did you know that Azula's voice actress also played Katara's Mom in 3.16 and actress!Katara in 3.17? One would think they made these choices just to blow my mind.

Now I'm thinking I need to re-keyword my icon, because it did not occur to me to call it "Momo Yojimbo" and clearly it should be. (I wonder if that makes the icon disappear from that comment? Let's find out!)

I did not know that! My mind is blown as well. Also, I think voice actors are kind of amazing.

ETA: Yes, it does make the icon go away. And I forgot you can't edit a comment once it's been replied to. Woe!

Sadness! I demand that you reply to this using the Momo Yojimbo icon. Even if your reply is just the sound of a bison whistle.
