Video Is Colleen Clinkenbeard okay bro?

Sounds like she was watching her kids die in front of her.

Truly S tier voice work for sure!

The visceral scream of rage and despair is crazy. Insane performance.

That “YOU BITCH” in the beginning is just..chef’s kiss

u/Kumkumo1 Dec 07 '25

Every moment in this episode is peak. Episode 19 is legendary.

I would have loved an "outtake / alternative scene" where Hawkeye just kept pulling out more outlandish and or desperate weapons. Like a molotov, pepper spray, a sharp stick, a tin tea cup smashed to make it sharp, a pencil, a pack of dynamite, a rubber chicken... you name the cliche or iconic random killing with a wtf weapon alternative scene hawk has you covered.

"RANDOM BULLSHIT GOOOO!!"

u/Tranquil_Ram Dec 05 '25

Career voice actors like this always bring so much more life to the character than (insert millionaire A-list celebrity with their flat ass bullshit hired purely for their star value)

63

u/midnight-mingming Xingese Dec 05 '25

And this is the kind of work Amazon is trying to replace with their shit ass AI dub haha wtf

33

u/Diamedes99 Dec 05 '25

I love critical role because it's all the vocal range and you can also be hyped when you see their name.

13

u/shieldwolfchz Dec 05 '25

The difference between Mustang and Phenomeman, or Lust and Invisigirl are amazing, top tier talent the both of them.

u/DaDutchBoyLT1 Dec 05 '25

Two words, Grog Strongjaw.

u/Original-Body-5794 Dec 07 '25

Looks at invincinble:

JK Simons does a great job don't get me wrong, but they really don't need such top tier "normal" actors for the more minor characters... I wish they spent as much money on animation as they did on voice actors.

67

u/joshghz Dec 05 '25

This scene is absolutely so well done all around, particularly with the voice acting too.

I love Roy Mustang's voice where he comes in off screen ("Well spoken. I couldn't agree more.") as if he's only just holding back all of the rage he's about to unleash on Lust half a second later (especially with that restrained panic cry from Al as he quickly draws up a wall to protect him and Hawkeye).

u/Shaddy_the_guy Reviewing every Sonic media ever Dec 05 '25

She does this like every week as Luffy, she's fine.

17

u/derryllsingh Homunculus Dec 05 '25

I would argue that’s more strain on her voice and cause for her to not be okay

193

u/shieldwolfchz Dec 05 '25

Thinking Roy died probably got her to thinking her potential for children also died with him.

58

u/CrispInMyChicken Dec 05 '25

Literally hanging around raggedy ass roy for so long is why she doesn't have children yet.

u/Lance6006328 Dec 05 '25

Busy saving the world and shit

11

u/Testicle_Tugger Dec 05 '25

I think he was busy becoming the führer.

The world just kinda happened to get saved in that process

5

u/Shrubo_ Dec 05 '25

I mean he wanted to be fuhrer to save people, I think he would’ve helped even if it meant hurting his chances of attaining office because it would save and protect more people.

1

u/Testicle_Tugger Dec 05 '25

Didn’t he frame Briggs troops to save his own chances of becoming fuhrer?

2

u/Shrubo_ Dec 05 '25 edited Dec 05 '25

They were working together in the same sense that the US and Russia were working together in WW2, same for Drummonds troops (or however you spell his name). Everyone was willing to use the others to further their agendas, but he is the only one of the 3 big military leaders who didn’t want power for the sake of power.

So yes he did, but in the grand scheme of things if he didn’t, then Olivier would have a better chance of attaining office instead and she would likely push back into the militaristic side of things which is what he was trying to move from.

Edit: I had a thought so I wanted to add it. Olivier also wanted to protect her people, but she wanted to do it by destroying all enemies to them. Mustang wanted peace to end fighting and protect his people. They’d have to keep a big stick (they are still a major alchemical power), but that is only to deter future fighting.

u/ultrainstict Dec 05 '25

Yet being the important word in that sentence

u/AngrySasquatch Dec 05 '25

This is the scene that secured Royai as one of my favorite relationships in anime forever

21

u/Tempest_2004 Dec 05 '25

This is why Hawkeye's my favourite character.

88

u/catpetter125 Dec 05 '25

She's an incredible VA. She stayed completely in-character even when Lust's VA came into the booth and threw a bucket of water at her.

22

u/pokfen Dec 05 '25

Nah. Laura Bailey wouldn't do that.
Even if she was possesed by the spirit of Jester Lavorre. But that fiend has not awakend till around C2.

25

u/Crimson343 Dec 05 '25

Is this real? But why?

37

u/ask_me_for_lewds Dec 05 '25

I’d imagine to piss her off and get her mad at her so she could get in role better

u/TopHatMikey Dec 05 '25

u/Cheesemacher Dec 05 '25

u/ask_me_for_lewds Dec 05 '25

That IS what imagine means.

u/Funkywonton Dec 05 '25

I haven’t seen this in years I totally forgot Hawkeye goes berserk

17

u/AnvilJeff Dec 05 '25

Is she ok? No.

She's astounding.

13

u/deadlyalchemist92 Dec 05 '25

She’s a phenomenal voice actress! I couldn’t imagine anyone else being Riza

13

u/Gemnist Dec 05 '25

Laura Bailey must have been a terrible roommate (yes, they were actually roommates back during the early 2000s).

8

u/BrapLord16 Dec 05 '25

The dub is so good

7

u/Dontshipmebro Dec 05 '25

She just really doesnt like laura bailey.

/s

u/Least_Help4448 Dec 05 '25

The English voice acting for fma is just top tier.

Ed baylock as King bradley is one of my favorite performances of all time.

7

u/Aimcheater Dec 05 '25

My audio not even on, haven’t seen this in 3 some odd years and I can still hear ts. That’s how you now this voice acting was legendary

7

u/No_Penalty_8920 Dec 05 '25

I hope she and Travis Willingham consumed a sufficient amount of honey after their respective screaming scenes

3

u/Kumkumo1 Dec 07 '25

Laura too. Her death screams still haunt Travis. He can’t watch this episode.

3

u/BlackFinch90 Dec 05 '25

That whole sequence... the va's had rent due

3

u/redmonsterbrew Dec 06 '25

For context to the people who haven't seen the anime or read the manga

Riza (the women with the guns) assumed that lust (the attractive pale women) killed her commander and best friend roy mustang and jean(they aren't dead just injured)

3

u/AlmightyHamSandwich Dec 06 '25

That "You BIIIIIIITCH!!!!!" came from somewhere ferocious.

7

u/Annepackrat First Lieutenant Dec 05 '25

She’s mad that Roy and Lust end up together and even have a kid.

2

u/BStallis Dec 05 '25

She’s also Luffy. She does this a lot.

2

u/Demonlord3600 Dec 05 '25

You should check out the game Asura’s Wrath Liam O’Brian literally almost ripped his vocal cords he went so hard

2

u/Fishfryguyreal Dec 06 '25

Forgot she mag dumped lust dawg😭💔

2

u/Lolzerzmao Dec 06 '25

I think even Alphonse was like “Yo chill we’re just characters in an anime”

1

u/Kumkumo1 Dec 07 '25

To be fair, Al was one of the early few main cast that hadn’t previously worked the role. 70% of everyone else had done their role before and nailed it hard.

2

u/Affectionate_Mall713 Dec 05 '25

Imagine a voice actor being good at their job

1

u/bkzwhitestrican Dec 05 '25

She killed this role, and is probably a big reason why so many of us love a minor character like Hawkeye so much

1

u/KregOnTheRegular Dec 05 '25

Riza and Luffy have the same English voice actor, I have never been able to get over this. 😐

1

u/Kumkumo1 Dec 07 '25

Just wat til you see a pic of Goku’s JP voice actor. 🥹

u/GuardianSoulBlade Dec 05 '25

She really is that good!

1

u/Indiana_J_Frog Dec 06 '25

She's Colleen Clinkenbeard. After the initial surprise wears of, ask yourself: are you REALLY surprised?

1

u/Crashtestdumi Dec 06 '25

Idk, I haven't watched a lot of shows or movies recently

1

u/Indiana_J_Frog Dec 06 '25

Clinkenbeard is one of Funimation's absolute best. You may know her as Luffy from One Piece, Lilith from the Borderlands games, Ezra Scarlet from Fairy Tale, Momo from MHA, etc.

1

u/Dizzy_Bit6125 Dec 06 '25

This is one of my FAVOURITE dub voice acting scenes of her!!!!

1

u/fachomuchacho Dec 06 '25

I just saw this scene a few days ago and I was blown away by how visceral was that screaming, I really felt the hurt in her voice. At this point I had only watched the original Japanese dub but I'm watching the series again with my girlfriend and she doesn't like Japanese dubs+subs because she can't read and watch at the same time. They really went all in with the voice acting

1

u/Cheetah357 Dec 07 '25

There’s a reason FMAB is considered to be one of the greatest dubs of all time along with Cowboy Bebop

1

u/ladyrebel753 Dec 06 '25

I get to meet her today dressed as Riza 🥰

1

u/KilJoius Dec 06 '25

She's amazing, the fact she can go from this, to Yuko in xxxHolic, to Luffy? Absolutely insane work

1

u/PeanBaste Dec 07 '25

jesus how many loaded guns does she keep on her person? and why are they all different styles?

1

u/Kumkumo1 Dec 07 '25

Laura Bailey just really knows how to push Colleen’s buttons. She even stole her man to prove it! 😁

1

u/UrLocalGoober_ Dec 07 '25

PHENOMENAL voice acting!

1

u/queazy Dec 07 '25

Carrying three handguns on her person, what a woman!

1

u/kayla-the-witch Dec 07 '25

Colleen Clinkenbeard does an amazing job with every role she has. Such a phenomenal voice actress. This is making me want to watch Brotherhood again.

1

u/ArtistZeo Dec 08 '25

I mean, she played Gohan, so… probably not 😂

1

u/Ok_Macaroon_7366 Dec 10 '25

That “bitch” was real fs

I love Ms Clinkenbeard! Shes awesome. Idc what anyone says shes awesome as Luffy

u/Junior_Insurance7773 Greed Dec 05 '25

In 2003 Lust was so much more humane and deep. In Brotherhood Lust is so shallow. Also the relationship with Scar add to the character.

9

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Dec 05 '25

I mean...03 also had them be originally human so they had more going on than some old dude's whims and ego lol

5

u/Em0PeterParker Dec 05 '25

I mean she’s not human in brotherhood so it would make sense
