Adult Swim cuts all ties with Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty to be recast.

Glad the entire staff haven't lost their jobs over one disgusting individual and his actions.

At the same time I can't really see this ending with anything else but dying ratings and a fall in quality. Hopefully Harmon can rock up some magic.
 
Wasn't the accusations alleged domestic violence? Unless he came forward and admitted guilt (which would make this action warranted), it seems too soon for the courts to decide his innocence or guilt.

Look into not only the case but all the creepy shit he's been caught in regarding minors.

He's a weird guy, this is more than some twitter witch hunt.

He has referred to underage girls (he's talking to) as jailbait.

Fuck him even if he is cleared on the abuse stuff.
 
Dude is pleading not guilty, deserves his day in court. But of course these days you're tried in the court of public opinion first and foremost.

Exactly. We are so quick to declare his guilt as a society when we have a system in place to see if he truly is guilty. Could you imagine everything being taken from you before you've had your day in court?
 
I haven't checked out the latest season yet but I'm not sure how the fuck you recast Rick and Morty on a show called…Rick and Morty lmfao.

Hope the guy isn't really a shitbag but whatever it ends up being I guess it was fun while it lasted.

Because it's called 'Rick and Morty', not, 'Justin Roiland'. They've re-casted a number of main characters for cartoon tv shows over the years. I think they changed Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory and people hardly seemed to notice, or maybe they did, dunno. Anyway, you get a sound-alike or just 'soft-reboot' the voices in universe or something.

Anyway, saw this coming, but I figured they wouldn't kill it, since the Rick and Morty cow is one fat ass juicy cow to keep milking.

Be interesting to see how they resolve this going forward, but I'm ready to jump off the R&M train at anytime though.

Roiland has been charged felony domestic battery with corporal injury and felony false imprisonment. Criminal charges differ from the usual accusations that appear online in that a prosecutor has reviewed the evidence involved and believes there is enough to unanimously convince a jury of Roiland's guilt.

I absolutely agree that it is too early to assign guilt to Roiland. He is to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I also don't blame partners for severing ties legally due to the gravity of the charges. Roiland is probably still getting the money he is due he just won't be part of the property going forward.

Got zero sense out of that conversation, so random without context.

Rot under a jail, my dude.
 
Terrible. Hopefully they just go with different voices like Jack Black or something and explain it in universe instead of hiring some voice impersonator.

Justin Roiland is like 90% of that show anyways, it'll be dead in a season. Then more people can go watch Velma!

Mindy Kaling is the Jane Doe and a mastermind.
 
Is this based on the same domestic violence stuff from a few years ago that just came to light, or is he suspected of smashing up someone new recently?
 
Wow the messages to that girl are something. I got a daughter myself and I would gut the guy who sends her this stuff. With a spoon. And cancel Christmas.

My son once tried twitch streaming and got all kind of weird messages from older dudes. It was REALLY disturbing. Thank god he showed them to me immediately.
 
He is no longer involved with Squanch games either. Seeing those tweets, texts, and DM's is damning by itself.

Was anyone watching this show for ricks stupid gravely voice? Really? Even mortys was kinda grating eventually. All you need is a fast talking douchey sound and anyone can be Rick.
 
As someone said, after S3, shit fell off hard. I don't even give a shit what is going on. They made good content and their heyday is over.
