‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal

Did everyone forget the texts to minors? Dude was a predator. He wasn't dropped from the show just on the DV accusations but also the mountain of evidence that show he was a creep. https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/justin-roiland-claims-embittered-ex-tried-to-have-him-canceled-but-fans-ask-what-about-those-alleged-creepy-messages-to-minors/

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.

in case anyone else was wondering, the answer to the replacement method is 'soundalikes'

Everyone lamenting Rick & Morty, and I'm over here like "What about Solar Opposites? I must know what's going on with the wall people!"

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.

Just watched Season 6 on Hulu. Rick and Morty is still great.

Then again, I have a fairly high IQ so I understand the jokes. /s (God I hope the explicit sarcasm tag isn't needed.)

Had completely forgotten about this and was wondering why it had been so long since I'd seen new R&M. This explains a lot.

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.

Kind of ashame :( I get he did some reprehensible shit. Just bummed. I really like this show. I hope it can keep the same vibe.

The quality of Rick and Morty fell off a cliff two seasons ago, and I chalked it up to everything being fucked up by the pandemic. Then I figured there was turnover in the writers room, and stories about how Justin was working on other projects more. Then after the news came out about Roiland, and the court case, it all finally made sense. Rick and Morty sucked shit the last two seasons, and I fear that Roiland was THE essential piece that made it all come together so perfectly. I'll tune in and check it out the next time they roll our new eps, but going by the last two seasons, I think we had our shining brilliant perfect moment in the sun, and I'm not sure it's coming back.

Weren't all charges against him dropped?

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?

Yeah…

R&M is never going to be the same.

It’s not just his voice, it’s his humour, his timing, his ability to improvise, he basically IS the entire show.

Trying to make a copy of a show like this is completely pointless.

Best to move on and create something new.

Also, weren’t his charges dismissed?

“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.

Who’s voice is gone?

Edit: we are utterly fucked bois

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
