Oh I agree whole heartedly. But he isn’t going to prison over it is what I’m saying.

Guessing person above ya edited their comment. Any idea what it said?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

He was just talking about how the texts were real And how he didn’t like Justin Roiland over that anymore or whatever. Yep, creepy texts, shitty dude. I guess he was bad like that just in general to other staff.

But this meme is about him in prison and he ain’t going there anymore is my point.

Hopefully they can find someone who can keep the spirit of the show alive, then. I'd hate to see it go. It was such a unique show.

In case anyone is unfamiliar:

https://mashable.com/article/rick-and-morty-season-7-justin-roiland-replacement

'Rick and Morty' is recasting Justin Roiland for Season 7

Justin Roiland's term as the titular offbeat pairing of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith is truly over, with the show officially on the hunt for a new replacement voice actor(opens in a new tab). The co-creator and star of Adult Swim phenom Rick and Morty was booted from the show earlier this year, following the public unveiling of felony domestic violence charges and a widespread denouncement of inappropriate and abusive behavior among cast and crew. On Jan. 24, the show announced Roiland's departure and reassured fans that the show would continue. The charges against Roiland have since been dismissed. <(at least this one has, good legal ass covering mashable lmao)

Aww geez, Big Tony, not in the ass again! Oh god, oh geez ooOoooOOOOO…

Edit: Big T: Quick 2 minutes, in and out!

Gotta admit. When looking at the co creators of Rick and Morty I wouldn't have thought Roiland would be the problematic one.

Really? You are surprised that the guy who made "Doc and Mharti" is a pretty disturbed person?

From what I can tell Dan Harmon just has a lot of personal issues that sometimes eeks out in his attitude towards others. Even with his problems he never seemed like he'd be the kind to actually do something awful towards others and to do it intentionally

A lot of comedians have dark issues and it's part of the reason they can make boundary pushing comedy.

Dan harmon made way more than Rick and Morty

Ah, geez, Butch, the hemorrhoids in my ass are flaming still

Rooland's voices he does aren't even unique imo. I'm positive there are plenty of other funny people who could cover any role he has played. Shit I can do all his famous characters and I'm an IT guy. This dude ain't special, he just had connections.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Roiland isn’t just the voices though. Replacing voices with copycats has never been the issue. Roilands writing and ideas is what makes the show. I’m not confident in the upcoming seasons at all. They’re off to a terrible start with the new voice actor imo, terrible choice.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

After reading up on Roiland and his past ventures. I'd be hesitant to say it was his writing that made the show. I'll have to catch up on R&M to really know. But I really don't feel like that dude is packing literary nukes in his pocket. Harmon was the one originally approached for R&M, Roiland has like Acceptable.tv as one of his only writing gigs besides R&M. I think the bulk of the talent came from elsewhere he is mostly a voice actor.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Harmon is the much better writer. Rowlands writing has been less involved for years now. The worst episodes are Roilands input.

With Harmon as sole writer the show is bound to hit a stride.
