Conquest is older than the plague, the reason he looks so fucked up with scars and the missing hand is precisely because the plague didn't kill him but rendered him weak for a while and those injuries never healed.
The only reasons i can think of why they picked him as VA is The walking dead and the fact that he voiced Keith from Voltron which is like the same american anime wannabe cartoon character type tbh
The plague thing is new to me. I should probably read the comics at some point.
I'm gonna take this a bit farther and say that none of the voice cast are earning their ridiculously inflated paychecks. I really dislike this trend of wasting most of your animated shows budget on hiring Hollywood hacks to fill in every role. For my money the only decent actor among the "stars" is Simmons but I feel Omni-Man's moustache does a lot of heavy lifting in making him look and sound like a super-powered JJ Jameson because a lot of his delivery is also pretty flat. Aaron Paul was incredibly distracting as is Sandra Oh everytime her character opens up her mouth to deliver more monotonous hausfrau dialogue. Basically I feel the show sucks hard at everything it does in-between the big action scenes and Walton Goggins.
Absofuckinlutely. I honestly think they do it for the soy redditors to go “OHH LE JESSE PINKMAN IS VOICING THIS GUY…!”. It doesn’t matter that they’re good actors, their repertoire can’t compete with that of your average voice actor.
It's pretty cool how all these super woke Hollywood assholes who are VERY concerned with human rights and such get paid millions to half-assedly prattle into a mic while the actual show is animated by literal North Korean slave labour.Absofuckinlutely.

You can just hear the voice and tell that the fact that you can’t see their actual facial expressions detracts from it, cause the audio sounds so bland
With all the money they spend on the cameos they could’ve made the animation way better lol
well we havent gotten to HIM yet, and things will change around the season 7 or 8 mark when we get to it, but thats a few years away
Scenes like this fulfill a number of ideological goals for coastal elites. It hopes to mollify their own comeuppance if they are caught doing wrong; stigmatizes normal flaws to demonize real people who have them, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where the revolution's heroes have an enemy to unite against; and facilitates power grabbing by insisting bad people are just from bad environments, indicting the majority group with the blame of creating said environments while offering their own authority as the solution. These types love pretending artists can only reflect their culture, which results in "all art is political! depiction equals endorsement!" hogwash as ironic projection of their own susceptibility to societal influence.
Mark fighting Nolan changed the relationship between the characters, advanced the plot, revealed new information, and otherwise resulted in consequences that would never be the same. It was a personal conflict that further developed the characters involved.
It's convenient for Kirkman I guess, but a huge wasted opportunity for the story. I was memed into reading the comics after season 1 by people who said that nothing had happened yet and the story was just getting started. I assumed that the fallout of Nolan's crimes would be a big part of that and there were even bigger twists to come. But actually, it has almost no impact on the plot at all, and the comic goes on to be "what if Rob Liefeld wrote Dragon Ball Z", which is where the show is now.
Even the VAs like Peter Cullen were mostly cast so that you can recognize them as that guy from that thing. Ross Marquand has extensive VA credits and is possibly the best part of the cast imo, but he did happen to be on Walking Dead.Absofuckinlutely.

Massive spoilers in there, but that first panel with the frying pan is possibly the best moment in the whole comic imo.
