Roiland, whose exit from the Adult Swim series was announced in January in light of domestic abuse charges, had voiced the title characters since its 2013 launch.
The number of people in this post that don't understand the difference between a private company's HR/PR decisions and the actual legal system is shocking.
Absolutely pointless trying to keep the show going at this point. Just make something new, I’ve got enough confidence in Harmon and the rest of the writing team that I feel like they’d be able to create something great regardless of Roiland being a part of it.
I'm all for rooting out the predators I'm our society, but what are we doing when we take a franchise away from it's creator based on accusations that don't even have enough weight to warrant a trial?
A core tenant of our justice system is "innocent until proven guilty". Was there even an internal company investigation that justifies punishing him?
Another victim of the american justice system. dude didnt even end up being charged. but just because he is suspsct of a crime he has to go work in food service now and for perpetuity
cant imagine the kind of shit the ceos do but god forbid a worker be anything less than perfect
Holy crap I read the whole thread and article to find out there’s no new thing here - its the same news as earlier this year.
I misread the title as “‘rick and morty’ gives up on recasting process . . “ and thought they were going to kill off the characters or something. Nope. No news.
“Soundalikes” never sound alike enough. It would be easy to write a story where their voices are permanently changed. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but as of now, I’m thinking they should have just worked with the change instead of trying to pretend it didn’t happen.
