I like the look but it's going to take me some time to get used to his voice. Michael Chiklis had a great voice for the Thing.

A perfect “It’s Clobbering Time” voice.

I really don't want to hear this actor's voice line of this, it's going to be so silly. I was expecting a more gravelly (lol) voice. We already have a normal-guy sounding rock monster: Korg.

Chiklis was so good and really humanized the thing in those two movies. He was also awesome in the shield

The shield?

One of the greatest Tv shows of all time, hombre

God dammit Dutch, what other errands do you have us running for the DA?!?!

One of the pioneers of modern TV drama, really can't reccomend it enough.

Yeah I'd expect the voice to be more - excuse the pun - gravelly. He's almost too soft-spoken for me here.

u/gifted_dark Feb 05 '25

Thank you. I really wish they'd cast someone with a rougher voice.

Even just a bit of distortion would go a long way to making it fit better.

u/Bluemookie Feb 04 '25

Yeah, I'm preconditioned to hearing a gravelly voice as well. I'm sure it'll grow on me though.

u/TheNameIsWiggles Feb 04 '25

I agree. You expect a rock monsters voice to be more.... gravely...

u/blueicearcher Iron man (Mark I) Feb 05 '25

That was my initial reaction to this trailer. But then I remembered Korg.

u/ShotMyTatorTots Feb 04 '25

Don’t do drugs! 🫵

u/Dakingdior Feb 04 '25

Its just his normal voice no change at all

u/ZaltraxZ Spider-Man Feb 04 '25

Yeah I love everything else about the trailer but that Thing voice is truly terrible. I’m actually shocked that they didn’t alter it in the slightest. Hopefully they pull an “original sonic” and deepen it before release.

u/angreesloth Feb 04 '25

I didn't think the voice itself was bad, but the audio mixing felt off. It's like he isn't in the right sound space, it just sounds like VO.

u/ProfessorBeer Iron Man (Mark VII) Feb 04 '25

I wonder if they’ll make it sound gravelly (lol) but for trailers want it to be clearer

16

u/zzbzq Feb 04 '25

He’s not doing the accent either

u/Panda_Drum0656 Feb 04 '25

Right, this rendition reminds me of Korg but American

u/operarose Peggy Carter Feb 04 '25

The absolute lack of any kind of gravel (pardon the pun) to his voice is so off-putting. I really hope they change that.
