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.
Its too bad that its so hard to find a man aged 18-35 who is willing to show us his Rick and Morty impression at the drop of a hat.
Oh noes, the abusive cartoon character was actually voiced by an abusive shithead.
Cartoon abuse had always been funny. All the way back to loony toons. Abuse IRL has been unacceptable for the past few decades.
For anyone who's not aware, some of the "other shit" is an extensive series of screenshots of texts where he's soliciting sexual interactions with teenage girls. Such excerpts include:
Just so we're clear that this isn't a "petty jealous ex" kind of situation.
“We are closing in on the end of our process of the recast”, not a very informative article. Also notes that recasts are “soundalikes” and that show is as good as it’s ever been. No date for the next season yet.
Considering Solar Opposites got someone with a heavy British accent…
Saying it’s a “sound a like” is actually informative
My partner and I were hoping for casting a New Zealand actor for them and just never commenting on why Rick and Morty were kiwis all of a sudden
wasnt he cleared recently??
His case was closed due to lack of evidence or something, but there’s still a ton of actual real evidence that got released online of him perving on underage girls and talking about how much he wants to bang 15 year olds, so it’s doubtful anyone’s going to be doing business with him again any time soon
I think someone unearthed a clip of him on a podcast talking about sex with kids which at the time was probably seen as edgy humour but... Yeah. Something to do with wishing he could go back to the past because then it ok to sleep with teens? Can't remember. Don't care enough to Google it. But it's beyond doubt the man should probably be on a watch list
Charges dropped by district attorney due to the case not having enough compelling evidence to secure a conviction. Not exactly cleared, the prosecutor just didn’t think they could secure a conviction.
Not exactly cleared,
i mean what is cleared then? they didnt have enough evidence so hes innocent
All charges were dropped for lack of evidence.
Yeah, but he’s still kinda cancelled for being a pedo now…
I think they should pivot to a whole season of Interdimensional Cable, with a season-length R&M plotline weaved in with no actual exposure to the usual characters.
ITT: People who have no problem condemning a man via hearsay, and giving no respect to our justice system.
Hang the witches! Burn them!

I know they're doing this because it's a cash cow for them, but didn't the guy play a huge part in the show? I'd imagine this is probably going to be the last season unless by a miracle they can do without his writing and I think adlib?

By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.
The actual writing and content hasn’t really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn’t too jarring, odds are the average person won’t know or care and the show will be just fine.

Also his adlibs were almost never used and just sucked up recording booth time.
The show is legitimately better without him.
