This guy was hosed as soon as it got out. I hate bringing it up again, but the line of do nothing apparently for this parent company (warner discovery) is a rumored $300 million, merchandising with your face, ad campaigns with your face, multiple reshoots and production changes aka the Ezra Miller problem..but they also did the public apology/I'm getting help thing, so maybe getting ahead of it was the bigger difference on not getting shitcanned like you should

Don't know how large of a segment it is, but there is a substantial portion of online fans losing their poo poo that someone like Roiland lost his job. I ain't shedding any tears. I said it earlier and I'll say it again, there's plenty of other talent out there that can fill the voice casting stuff of the main duo without anyone noticing, and the show will be better for it. And if Harmon gets the boot, good riddance too. Him and Roiland got big into that NFT bullshit. The writing staff is what made this show great for the past six seasons, not these two jokers. Hell, isn't Harmon being buddy buddy with Elon Musk the whole reason they actually gave that fucker a guest role on the heist episode? Guy definitely needs to go.

If Roiland had any shred of decency he’d be okay with it Not sure if I can expect this from the guy who publicly said gently caress THE UNIONS after underpaid RM animators ratified a new contract so they could be paid better and get health insurance Granted, that was in 2014 but he's friends with Musk so I highly doubt that view has changed

Rick and Morty probably makes enough money year over year to continue for decades. This. If you look at any of the behind-the-scenes stuff they've put out over the past few years, Roiland doesn't really feature at all. I'm sure he was still in the writer's room and probably contributed, but I don't think he's a driving force at this stage. Also, as a general theme, Roiland's style of bug-gently caress random humor is something the show's drifted away from over time. They still do the occasional bit, but we no longer get whole episodes of just "let Roiland vomit whatever into a mic for twenty minutes." The hardest part will be finding a replacement voice. If they can land someone the general fanbase accepts as the new Rick and Morty, I think they'll be fine.

Skippy McPants posted:I take it as a pretty good sign that the R&M Reddit is reacting to the news by joking and speculating about possible replacements. Very few people seem interested in going to bat for Roiland. slurm posted:All the chuds I work with, and it's a lot, instantly turned on Roiland like everyone else once the clear cut pedo stuff hit their echo chamber "Yes, that's true. We are living in Nazi germany when a pedophile who beats his wife gets fired by a corporation." I haven't decided if I'll give the new episodes a shot largely because they're connected to a work of art made by a monster who was dancing around going "wouldn't it be funny if monsters?" I'm a completionist who sticks with shows long after they've stopped being any good, but this? This is something else. But either way, it's good they shitcanned him and whether I watch them or not, I'm glad everybody this rear end in a top hat employed aren't gonna' suddenly not be because their boss turned out to be a pedophile.

I've held auditions and even when everybody's really good and auditioning for the role of "normal person," they're poo poo-awful, so I hope that person has a good life otherwise.

Yeah, would be a shame for so many talented folk to lose their jobs over this so ought to give it one season at least trying to make it work. Dunno if Cussak has the time or inclination or the ability to not sound Very Australian but he does seem worth a shot. Suppose "our" Rick and Morty could die and be swapped for Bushworld versions or something, I guess with their own matching Rick Prime. How about Joel Haver for Morty, just to put an alternative out there? Seems like someone who might be on AS's radar, he did collabs with Roland but I don't think that sticks to him worse than Harmon or anything.

There's no need to try to do it correctly. Just get the australian guy to do his australian voice and don't bring it up. I don't give a poo poo if the voices are different.

Rick and Morty are missing somewhere in the multiverse, and it's to Jerry and Summer to find them and also do other things. It's the Jerry and Summer show! 100 episodes! Sometimes Beth too. Alternatively, as I posted in another thread, Jackson Publick as Rick and Doc Hammer as Morty
