Netflix being an application that is running on a TV seems like a very different situation than a video playing inside of a browser. How exactly would YouTube know or be able to stop screen recording short of forcing me to actively run a program?

Maybe I’m not following but this seems to be talking about applications communicating with hardware designed to be authorized to play.

How would a video playing on a browser like YouTube on my existing, old hardware be able to parse what’s authorized? Short of making YouTube a program on my computer, how does it on a browser know what else I’m running?

I already just use screen capture recording to take videos in my desktop playing YouTube on a browser. Could they even stop that?

Then they can clarify it for themselves. Talking about actors working in voice acting industry, in TV production, means adults more often than children doing the work. Not always, but adults are more common than children. It is a reasonable assumption, and if it is wrong, again- the poster can clarify it on their own.

Hey, I’m coming in and matching your energy.

I was being civil and didn’t insult anyone’s opinion or “lol” at what they were saying until you showed up doing just that. We can look at the thread and see exactly where I started having bad energy and it was after you came in acting like an ass. So in actual fact, I’m matching your energy as it is exceedingly rare for me to insult other users, in fact it might be a first for me here, but you managed to be special.

crazy assumption to make

Fuck off. Seriously. You’re just coming in and making an opposite assumption based on the exact same vague statement and acting smug about it.

That’s why young boys are usually voiced by women

Not a word in there about children doing the voices. If they wanted to clarify a supposed ambiguity, they could have done it themselves.

You coming in and very confidently declaring exactly what they meant despite nobody talking about children doing children’s voices, and giving your “correction” it in a condescending way:

What the heck are you talking about?

That’s a wild way to misunderstand them lol.

That makes you the asshole. Be gone.

Normally when I see that, it is a signal to me that the show as intended ended but it was so popular/lucrative that moneypeople demanded it keep going, so the writers have to take an already concluded story and and un-conclude it. I’m sure shows in this situation have worked, but I’m struggling to think of one.

I suppose certain animes, especially shonen essentially do this, but they are designed from the outset to be nearly endless if successful. I’m thinking about shows like Stranger Things which clearly had one intended season, and then four seasons of whipping together something to put on screen.

Like I disclaimed at the top, it is contextual to the type of show, but I get a Spidey-sense when a show essentially restarts. Even Stargate SG-1 did it near the end, and it was overall a pretty weak few seasons.

women’s voices tend to change less dramatically than men’s as they age.

Point to the child actor being discussed in this sentence.

That shark is so cute.

It runs in parallel with a show getting too many characters to handle. It accelerates the Flanderization of characters who don’t have a lot to do. Stranger Things had that problem as well, with a far too bloated main cast by the end.

Oh no.

Once time I found a set of human toes.

That’s why I specifically mentioned Bart. Bart sounds absolutely terrible now.

I’m well aware adult women are often cast to play boy children. That has less to do with longevity compared to casting men as it does their ability to better mimic the higher pitch of children. Over a significant time period though, the voice talent ages no matter the gender.

In the original Fallout I was quite proud of myself for picking up on the fact that Dogmeat was a Road Warrior reference.

It took me years to realize that the leather jacket and (to a lesser extent) sawed off shotgun were also riffing directly on Road Warrior.

I always liked on ‘Married With Children’ the executive forced child character that was wedged in was gone the next season and the only acknowledgement he ever existed was his photo on a milk jug.

Clipshows were a necessary evil on broadcast shows, especially scifi ones that cost a lot of money. Sometimes the show would have to do a clipshow or a noticeably cheap bottle episode to save up for an expensive episode. Also, in the pre-streaming era, people couldn’t just watch all the episodes in order on demand so an occasional episode summarizing what was going on was actually useful.

That’s not really what I’m talking about. I’m talking about actors that have already been cast who then play the same role for decades as if nothing about their voice has changed.

Have you heard Bart Simpson’s voice recently?

I think with long running superhero comics it is more like, if a specific run has jumped the shark and gotten too stupid.

What is simultaneously good and bad about long running comics is that the continuity is so convoluted that the writers can reset it after an especially bad run, or they can go do stand alone stories; and readers can just ignore entire chunks of continuity they don’t like.

On older broadcast shows, sometimes that was just a necessary evil to save the budget up for an expensive episode.

Depending on the kind of show it is contextual, but here’s some.

If it is a tight self contained story that ends…and then more things happen. Stranger Things for example pretty much perfectly ended in season 1. There was a tiny dangling mystery regarding Eleven’s fate. Such things do not need to be a sequel hook, they can simply exist to tantalize and never be expanded on. This is like if Inception 2 was made and it answered the questions about Cobb’s spinning totem; it would utterly miss the point that the story was over and the ending was intentionally ambiguous.

If the actors or voice actors are simply getting too old for the part. Personally I have a good ear for animation’s voice acting. It drives me absolutely crazy when I hear noticeably aged actors reprising role or continuing them as if nothing has changed. Obviously some performers can last longer than others but for example modern Simpsons is unwatchable to me entirely on the basis of the voices. Even if somehow the writing turned around I simply can’t get past the voices. Similarly I could barely sit through The Incredibles 2, which supposedly picks up right as the first movie ends but all the voices are aged 14 years and I can hear it.

Perhaps delete this thread and put it !general@lemmy.world or put up the video as the post in a suitable community.
