You know, it's fricked up the movie treats him as a villain and he gets his whole temple destroyed.
He never actually threatened Mowgli.
Seems like a missing story beat.

Unironically what compels Spanish speakers specifically to post quotes from their dubs in threads at random? It's not even Cinemaphile, I've seen it on literally every other media-related board. Literally never seen people that speak another language do this unless the thread is expressly dedicated to dubs from their language, it's just Hispanophones.
I don't know. what compels american weeks to quote English anime dubs?
weebs*

perdon, el inglés me confunde 🙁

I wouldn't know because I've never even seen that, maybe Cowboy Bebop? Regardless I'm not trying to be a c**t man, I really do wonder why it seems to specifically be Spanish Language related. Did you guys just have really phenomenal dubs of everything or is there a bigger cultural aspect to it?
>Did you guys just have really phenomenal dubs of everything
they're pretty good honestly, there's a reason why we have a bigger dub industry than with subs, as it is the case in places like Europe. Disney specially had great dubs since the golden age thanks to the US Good neighbor program and Walt Disney's nazi-esque fascination with Argentina Brazil and Mexico. Pinocchio got an argie dub that's pretty iconic.
>Disney specially had great dubs since the golden age thanks to the US Good neighbor program and Walt Disney's nazi-esque fascination with Argentina Brazil and Mexico.
That's pretty fricking based, I'm an Aussie and always kind of liked that period where America tried to pull back and actually treat you guys like real people. Before you know, all that stupid Cold War shite. Seen a huge amount of it directed towards the Simpsons too, I'm assuming you guys also had a particularly good dub of that?
>Before you know, all that stupid Cold War shite.
it was a bad situation for everyone. we had to be either a CIA puppet or a Soviet Satellite. loose-loose in my opinion.
>The Simpsons
the dub was phenomenal and very iconic too. they made some dumb choices but overall it was very well acted and the changes to the script would sometimes make the show even better for a Hispanic audience.
I also think that the Simpsons itself is just very relatable for a place of dysfunctional yet loving families, corrupt governments and juvenile delinquency.
>That's pretty fricking based, I'm an Aussie and always kind of liked that period where America tried to pull back and actually treat you guys like real people.
I sincerely wish that we kept the Good Neighbor Policy and just tried to be friends with Latin America. Fricking red scare making our politicians go full moron. A New World united through genuine friendship in spite of our differences would have been based and made the commies seethe more than anything we actually ended up doing.
blame the huge populations of uneducated radicalized farmers and factory workers who were susceptible to commie propaganda and stuff like peronismo. also the ruling classes who were too comfy with 19th century neofeudalist oligarchy and wouldn't embrace American capitalism for themselves until it was too late.
A big part of the problem was how America treated Latin America before. They didn't trust America anymore and started to look to the USSR as an alternative, even though the US earnestly just wanted to be friends with Latin America at that point. It was basically a century's worth of mistreatment that Latin America, somewhat understandably, couldn't look past.
Of course, when America saw that Latin America wasn't so keen on just instantly being friends, it really went full moron like you said. YOU DON'T LIKE IMPERIALISM? WELL HOW'S THIS FOR YOU b***h??? And then the Americans started funding fascist death squads to rape nuns. Very cool.
>how America treated Latin America before
you mean the banana republics or what? because there weren't much interaction with the US besides that before WW2. (excluding their quarrels with mexico)
Mostly Central America yeah. I guess you could include Colombia in that too due to the Panama intervention. I know that the US had some pretty good deals with Brazil and Argentina too back in the day but not anything like real intervention until the Cold War kicked off.
>YOU DON'T LIKE IMPERIALISM? WELL HOW'S THIS FOR YOU b***h???
Not exactly their motive. You're underselling exactly how pants-wettingly terrified the Americans were of communism at the time.
Why? Did communism rape their mother?
considering most Americans descended from Germans, I'd say so yeah
America was undergoing its SECOND red scare anon, the first actually happened in the 20s. People thought that communism would totally upend the American lifestyle they were right but overly paranoid about its ability to actually influence the US and if you stretch things back to the old anarchist bombings they were basically sitting on 80 years of worry over communism by the time the 50s rolled around. The Soviets being so huge after WWII was like a nightmare to a lot of Americans and the way it was influencing some states in Latin America freaked them the frick out.
Embarrassing.
Unless there's a valid reason to be scared, that's just pathetic
The anarchist bombings didn't help, along with the fact that there was a nuclear super power that overtly stated "WE WILL CRUSH YOU" in an incredibly famous address to the United Nations. The Cold War was basically every side being paranoid of the other, while nuclear weapons had them both convinced that they'd launch a pre-emptive strike if war actually did break out. Bare in mind that this was not even a decade after the world just had the largest war in human history and most people running the shows were former generals and military commanders. It seems moronic looking back with all the knowledge we have now, but in the context of the era I can completely understand why people were pissing themselves.
Dude, you do know that the whole fear of the Cold War on both sides was because they both had nukes and the countries were run by a bunch of military chucklefrick WWII veterans right?
FDR idiot diplomats promised LatAm the moon with no possibility of delivery.
Memes, you dip
Because Cinemaphile was made for and consists primarily for English speaking weebs.
I've seen english speakers post song lines at random many many many times, it's a normal thing anon.
It's easy, it's not that Hispanics are idiots, it's that they have such a large population that they have a huge number of idiots, if the Russians and Chinese visited this place the same thing would happen.
Cause the song is good you gringo.
Do Aussies count as gringos? And it's not just songs, it's whole dubs of film, television, cartoons, anime, you name it. Never seen another group of people really go out of their way like you guys do.
Because it's good and memorable, simple as that, it's no different from anyone quoting their favorite show or song, this isn't just a Hispanic thing.
But I never see it from other languages, just Spanish. English quotes of English media make sense because it's English, and I've seen that for other local media as well in pretty much any given language. When it comes to dubs though I've only seen Spanish, which again is why I'm assuming you guys must have had really good dubs. That's an assumption though and I'd rather be informed than talking out of my ass like a moron.
>When it comes to dubs though I've only seen Spanish
Ah, well, that's because Spanish is one of the most popular languages in the planet, and there's an extremely high amount of Spanish speakers all over Burgerland, so you're obviously going to see more spanish quotes over french or russian quotes.
And also yeah, the quality of the dubs does have a factor in it too.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, you guys all mostly speak one language too (unlike India), aren't cut off from the rest of the world through insane censorship (unlike China), and while you do have dialectical differences they aren't as intense as to be mutually unintelligible (unlike the Arabic-speaking world). I guess just by raw numbers and actual free internet access there's really no competition next to English itself.
well Latin America is a big subcontinent. I'd say that we have the largest audience for dubbed media ever. any other region is either too poor to have TV and Film, too small to have a large enough audience, or too rich to consume foreign dubbed media rather than homegrown stuff.
>Do Aussies count as gringos?
Google says gringos are everyone who isn't Hispanic or Latino, so yes.
So it's like an "Everyone that doesn't speak Ancient Greek is a barbarian" thing huh? That's pretty sick honestly, based Latin Americans keeping up our most outstanding Western traditions.
every latam country has a different definition of gringo
>Mexico:
american
>Argentina:
european (can be Slavic, Anglo, Latin, whatever)
>the rest:
probably somewhere in between idk

Seriously,*
Why does anyone quote anything? Use your brain for once.
Well, he does thirst for power and he does kidnap a child.
That monkey is played by Louis Prima! Louis Prima played a monkey because he had two popular novelty songs about bananas
Not really answering your question but I think that’s some fun trivia, I love his banana songs
Why did boomers have so many songs about bananas?
Yes! We Have No Bananas! Was a huge hit in the early 1900s and it started a sort of musical meme that lasted until the 1960s. They were a funny-looking clearly exotic fruit and so became the topic of a lot of songs. Before modern mass logistics and refrigeration they were one of the few tropical fruits that people in the developed world would be familiar with.
A comic and a cartoon
Ayahuasca is no joke, prepare it wrong and you will kill someone.
He’s power hungry and mildly manipulative, although neither to an extreme so it’s easy to still like him.
>He never actually threatened Mowgli.
Watch the song again more closely. When Mowgli says he doesn't know how to make fire, Louie's eyebrows knot up in anger for a brief second and then back. Right after that, Louie picks the kid up by his hair and the lyrics change their tone to be more threatening even if Louie doesn't change his jovial delivery.
And then Mowgli keeps dancing so nothing's wrong
He's Disney movie original and doesn't exist in the book. The monkey troupe are from the book through. And funny enough it's Kaa who saves Mowgli from the monkeys in the book be hypnotizing them to all walk into his mouth.
He wanted to learn how to use the fire, which would have been pretty fricking bad. Imagine a bunch of monkeys, already a threatening group, but now they know how to use fire?
[King of Swing]
He was the highlight of the live-action for me because he actually felt like a menacing king who was intent on using Mowgli to advance himself. He just came across as a lovable ape in the animation, and that landed him in a gormless npc role for TaleSpin.
Silly monkey, Man's red flower only comes once a month.
He tries to manipulate Mowgli then manhandles him when he can't deliver what Louie wants of him. This is a creature that could tear Mowgli limb from limb with ease and clearly isn't taking "no" for an answer.
Not that there’s any real reason for Mowgli or the other characters to care, but his plan WAS to take over humanity. It was a dumb plan that was never gonna work, but still. He basically wanted to be a supervillain.
He was a monke that wanted to be like a human.
He was twisted and evil and needs to be eliminated for the good of monkind.
