Was thinking about an isekai where a mime mimes getting hit by a bus and gets transported to another world but just keeps on miming

    Two things:

    1. Back before audio was really available with film that is pretty much what we had. The character would do something then a card with the dialogue would show up. When "talkies" came along everyone made them for a reason.

    2. I think the concept would be interesting but would get old. Dialogue is often used to advance and explain plot, the types of stories that could be told would be greatly limited without dialogue.

      I'm aware of silent movies.

      You could have other characters still talking. Maybe something like Lassie where they just know what the Mime is trying to say.

        I also just remembered "fools paradise" which just came out is almost like this. The main character suffers from a disease where he is unable to speak for the entire movie.
