Why does Mewtwo sound like a girl now?

First off: Are you talking about the Japanese dub vs English dub? Don't even start. Second: Because Mewtwo is played by a girl this time around. In the first movie (in Japanese), Mewtwo was played by a man. |

I'm confused with Mewtwo's voice change too.
Mewtwo was obviously male in both dubs, and suddenly he has a female voice. It's too much of a jump. Either this Mewtwo is a different Mewtwo, or Mewtwo's new form and importance with X and Y allowed it to change gender. |

Mewtwo is genderless, so it doesn't matter how its telepathic made up voice sounds.

Oh it matters quite a bit here. Regardless of gender, it sounds very feminine here, something the original Mewtwo did not. My fear is they're just blatantly ignoring cannon and it's a "different" one.

This is gonna be good. And his name isn't Basil, it's Virgil. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Virgil

Mewtwo's still having his "WHO AM I? WHERE DO I BELONG?" problem?
Get over it. It's been a decade! |

Yeah, and Ash is still 10, so we're clearly already having issues. |

Thank you Mr. 4Kids for this lovely hypocritical message. And I thought it was confirmed this was a different Mewtwo than the one from the movie. Virgil being the main star is a bit of a surprise, but I guess it works given his job. |

That voice... I'm torn, Not sure whether I want to hope that this is another Mewtwo somehow, or hope that it's just the same one and... and... neither of those sound appealing- why did they do that?
Please let there be some kinda reason (even if I probably won't like it  )
And I gotta say, while the other form looks cool, I still prefer his original. He just does not look as menacing... or... or even like his character at all. Like the old one. Totally lost, not sure what to think  .
Still not hating the new form, it does look awesome, and I'm not against it being a form I just... Don't know what to think  .

I believe they are probably going for a different spin on Mewtwo's origin story considering it has that other form. I think it's best to treat the two movies as separate. Of course I can't really know how or if they tie into each other until the movie is out. Mewtwo was the antagonist in the first movie, but I don't think this alternate Mewtwo is as bitter or vengeful. Perhaps they are stereotyping a bit by using a masculine voice for the Mewtwo in the first movie (as a threatening generic antagonist), and using a feminine voice for the new Mewtwo, who apparently saves humans (in Dunc's description) rather than exact some crazy revenge plan on them. |

That wouldn't make sense since Mewtwo had the same voice when he came back in the "Mewtwo: I Am Here" TV special and wasn't a villain anymore there either and kind and gentle.

It's a Pokemon, who cares if it's goddamn voice actress's gender matches the perceived gender of a fictional creature.

Did feel iffy about the female voice actor but does it matter in the end? No. On top of that, we should have stopped watching this show a long time ago thus making new voices fitting for the new generation (pun intended). |
