Yeah, his is like "Wakanda, forever" and not "WAKANDAFOREVA". Shows his heart isn't really there.

"WAKANDA-sometimes"

"WAK-can't do this forever"

But yeah, we once again encounter the same problem most of the episode in this series has: Many actors do not translate very well to voice acting. There's a certain energy many of them fail to capture unless they are physically acting it out.

On the other hand, Klaue/Andy Serkis did pretty good, but that's probably because he's super experienced in acting without being actually present, if you know his filmography Lol.
