Today's question is the first in a while now (I was off moving furniture and carrying heavy objects because I was being told to do so). If you actually care for the Stupid questions series, I am sorry it took me so long to return to it, if you're not, you're probably crying and wishing "the bad mouse would just go away!"
Today's question occurred to me a while back when I came across an article of the voice of Mario (the famed plumber, you've heard of him I presume?) Charles Martinet also does voice acting for other maskots like Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toadsworth among others. I asked myself "Mario would live forever aslong as their's sports to power up in, but what happens when Charles dies/quits/gets fired?"
Nevermind the fact that they have his voice recorded, who cares, that's just no fun. My question is who would take the wheel once Charles is no long the plumpy plumber?
Tom Kenny of Spongebob fame? Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks?
I would adore to see an actual plumber from Brooklyn with a terribly raspy voice and a smoker's cough. Or Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman or just a sailor with barbedwire for vocal chords.
In your opinion, who would be the best or worst new voice actor for Mario if Charles "let's-e-go!" Martinet so chose to leave Nintendo?
They'll use some meld of electronic shenanigans and black magic to channel new recordings of his voice, like they did with Marlon Brando in Superman Returns.
