So Mewtwo's a girl now... *confused XD* I'm surprisingly unbothered by this. Mainly because I relate more to Mewtwo with his dub voice than his Japanese one, so hearing a different Japanese one isn't too jarring even if it is so vastly different from the dub one. I'm assuming it'll still be deep and masculine in the dub, unless there's some reason

Yessss, embrace the shetwo~! Lol, I have to agree with Gin in that they're probably changing the voice actor just because they can with no regard to backstory. xD If however it does turn out to be a completely new Mewtwo I will be shocked. But I think we really can't count the movies as canon... I mean, technically Mewtwo and all other legendary pokemon are supposed to be genderless. And Ash should be, like, 20 years old by now lol.

I think they were probably like 'we need some more female presence in this movie... I know! Let's have a girl voice Mewtwo. PROBLEM SOLVED YAY.'

Hee hee, well, I think just a tiny glance at my artwork and whatnot shows I've always been a fan of the idea of a girl Mewtwo ;D But admittedly as a separate character lol - Mewtwo himself will always be permanently ingrained in my mind as a male, even if this is him with this new voice. Not gonna lie though, with this voice I probably will end up watching the movie taking a tiny bit of guilty pleasure in imagining it's my girl Mewtwo on screen at times lol XD She knows Ash & co. too anyway so I'm sure it'll be easy to dub in a relevant way in my head lol. I would be quite surprised though if the voice choice was due to them just being all 'Feh, let's just use whoever.' They do care more about consistency than that. If it sounded slightly different I'd buy it, but specifically female? Eh
