Yeah I thiiiink I can detect a difference when I'm listening for it, but zero chance I'd have picked up on the voices being different if I didn't already know.
It's mostly Rick when he's shouting. Everything else is on-point. Even Roiland himself sounded slightly different last season so the transition isn't all too rough.
I prefer the way Solar Opposites did it, a straight up completely different British accent, because of a voice altering sci-fi gun (as usual, they have gun for every situations), and it's marvelous!
Here in the states you can't watch new episodes same-day on Max anyways. I plan on getting Hulu + Live TV to watch the episodes when they air.
You should be able to buy the season pass on iTunes once the first episode airs, and then watch the new episodes on the next day that way. That was the other solution I was considering.
"In March 2023, the criminal charges against Roiland were dismissed due to insufficient evidence. He released a statement on social media saying he is "determined to move forward and focus both on my creative projects and restoring my good name".[32][33][34] Following this announcement, his lawyer, T. Edward Welbourn, thanked the Orange County District Attorney's Office for "conducting a thorough review of the facts" and dismissing the case, adding that he was "thankful [that] justice has prevailed".[35]"
