Comment on ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal
Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 months agoIt shouldn’t be a problem, there are some really good Justin Roiland soundalikes, and it’s not like Rick’s voice hasn’t changed over the course of the show anyways

Comedic timing doesn’t matter when it’s prerecorded. Hell, even Roiland ran out of material after one Interdimentional Cable episode. That shit is the writers jobs. And between Roiland and Harmon, Dan is the faaaaar better writer.

Comedic timing still matters. The cadence if the sentence when you’re delivering a punchline matters, and yeah, you can do dozens of takes until it’s right, but they’re not going to want to do that.
To be clear, I do think it will be fine. They will find someone who can fill the role(s) well. It’s just not going to be as easy as recasting, say, War Machine in Iron Man was. They’ll need to find the right guy, but they will find him
