        Isn’t the point of voice acting that they … don’t sound the same?

          Not really. The point of voice acting is conveying emotions and situations of a character through speach. Just like in live action, you can have actors-chameleons and actors who are always the same and always good when cast appropriately.

      Ehhh, not to anyone paying attention to the comics before the guardians movies came out.

      But that cna be said about most MCU characters / actors.

        I’ve been reading Guardians comics since before there was a Peter Quill. Yes, Pratt’s incarnation is more comedic, and his origin is quite different, but he’s very much an emotionally driven character in both. Obviously James Gunn took a far more comedic approach to the overall tone, but Pratt fits the tone of the director and the team in a way that works for the screen.
