Awkward voice acting?

[Floymin]

I'm gonna sound like a n00b by saying I have never seen the movies, but I find the voice acting in the game to be reminiscent of the awkward 90s. As in... they always talk like they are having an intellectual conversation in a bistro... even when they are in combat!
Can someone fill me in on why this is? If it was intentional, what exactly was the intention of having them be so nonchalant throughout the entire movie/game?

[Floymin]

Sadly, no. I was talking about the tone of the voice acting, not the script. When was the last time you heard someone speak calmly while taking a swing at you?

[Floymin]

Sounds like you have as much problem paying attention to non-verbal cues as I do, because I was talking about the VOCAL tones.
BTW, I asked this question because I just got this game and have been playing it NEW.

I hope you're saying that the calm inflection throughout all the lines in the game was intentional for the movie. If true, I still wonder why the movie director made that choice. IMO, being emo doesn't exactly work for an action movie.

It's really weird because the people who made this game decided to put lines that aren't supposed to be during combat, during combat. Like for example when Hawkeye kills someone he can say "I've got a window... four... three..." (or something like that) and that was originally NOT during combat, in fact it was fairly calm until AFTER he said that. Let me know if this helped or if there was something else you wanted to know?

No. It's just that the game has some incredibly, incredibly poor picks for some of the lines played during battle. E.g. Tony's "There's no version of this where you come out on top" was originally spoken pre-battle. Iirc it was in a casual monologue where Stark was grand-standing against Loki, in a bid for time to get his new Mk 7 armor ready to deploy.

On top of that, most of the audio lifted from the movies has volume normalization problems. (E.g. Cap's "Hey! That's enough!" is barely audible.)

Frankly it would have been better if they hadn't taken VO from the films and instead done it properly.

IMHO I wish they would go back to miming rather than using the stupid audio if it's budget constraint! But proper VO would be better

LEGO Avengers is probably one of the worst rips of dialogue they have ever done, take a look at the newest LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens - they did both dialogue from movies AND got the original actors to reprise their roles which made the game wayyyyy better. Sure it's still got some issues but you compare it to this which has too much talking (especially at random moments) then you can see a massive difference.

I am all for the voice acting, but movie rips you need to find a balance because Hobbit, LOTR etc almost always have a weird mix of things. If you want to set a standard for ripping movies dialogue use Force Awakens as a blueprint of how to do it and get the voice actors to do it or just re-record if you cant get them because too much iffy voice work is happening now.

Props to the Force Awakens guys though, surprised they got the cast to record new lines (including Harrison Ford and co).

It's not really bad voice acting, it's the fact that they yet again opted for dialogue from the movie.

It has the unfortunate side effect of being very awkward, the rips are low quality and poorly used.

I tried playing this recently and the constant drop of movie lines during combat annoyed me to the point of uninstalling it. I wish there was a way of turning off the one-liners.
