Just started the reboot last night, and I'm really liking it so far. (infosec.pub)

The time skip feels natural, and even though I was initially skeptical about the premise that Hank and Peggy moved to Saudi Arabia for years (seems so out of character for them), I now appreciate how it allows us to see the Hills react to the ways life in the US has changed. It was a great choice.

I’m struggling with Dale’s voice because neither voice actor sounds like him.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 2 months ago

My head cannon is the smoking illegal pesticide chemicals have caught up with him and that's why he sounds a bit different.

Kahn on the other hand... That's not Kahn, He's erratic and higher pitched.

Overall I loved it tho, this isn't a reboot, this is just turning back in a bit later down the track. It's gonna be fun going from season 13 to 14 in my next run through.

I am too... It's really distracting. The original voice actor nailed the right voice for the character.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But he seemed to have forgotten the voice.

Oh wait, are the first few episodes him? Whoa, I guess he either did forget or aging did a number on him.

Maybe my headcanon can be that the years of smoking caught up with Dale.

That's perfect. It's now my headcanon too.

Apparently it was the original voice actor Johnny Hardwick on the first three episodes and episodes five to seven.

Yeah first thing I noticed in the trailer was that Dale's voice was off. It was too normal and not reedy enough.
