I mean, it's very close to overstaying its welcome already, and this comes from someone who loves the show and thought the last season was good. Good, but it really doesn't feel fresh anymore, and it wouldn't be a tragedy if the next season was the last one. Still a good rune, with some very strong highs.
Television Rick & Morty

It's weird how this is arguably the biggest adult cartoon of its time but may be on its last legs
South Park, Family Guy (was cancelled but came back) and The Simpsons had entered their peaks by season 6. I think R&M peaked too soon and was overhyped. The 3 mentioned prior slowly got better and slowly more zany while R&M was fully chaotic from the jump

A long overdue nail in a long overdue coffin.

Again… Harmon would’ve been the bigger loss
Though incidentally Harmon has a new animated show with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry coming out, so there’s a chance he actually might be less involved.

Harmon being the "bigger" loss (which is massively subjective, but yeah probably true) doesn't mean Roiland leaving is painless, from a creative standpoint. We'll obviously see how the respective shows progress, but the way that tweet is worded gives the impression they've been waiting for the first opportunity to cut ties - the guy fecked up big time, the easiness of getting rid of him lied with his acts, nothing related to the production of the shows. Just find it a bit weird.
that does sound juicyMatt Berry as British Rick? In fact just get Matt Berry doing every voice in Rick & Morty. The same voice for every character.
"Mor-ah-tay. We have to get to the citehhhhhh."
it doesn’t look…. great, tbh. But it’s unfair to judge it on a small clip (also it looks fine) however I also maintain that Richard Ayoade isn’t a good voice actor just because he has an odd voice.Harmon being the "bigger" loss (which is massively subjective, but yeah probably true) doesn't mean Roiland leaving is painless, from a creative standpoint.

The Medusa head bit
Fern Brady as Scottish female Rick please.
Harmon isn’t involved in Solar Opposites as far as I know/can tell.
Reckon Solar Opposites will be fine without him though
This dude apparently wrote the video game High on Life for Roiland…and is the “narrative director” at the game company he set up.

Even watching the original Doc & Marty short, it always seemed pretty obvious who brought what to the final, actually well written show. We’ll never know I guess, but hey, Matt Groening gets a hell of a lot of credit for not actually having much to do with classic Simpsons at all.

I closed my eyes to listen and I can't wait for the new show
Consider me educated! The part about him recording from his basement and not being welcome in the writing room does seem somewhat exaggerated (it may well be true, but it just seems crazy), but it definitely made me laugh
Rick and Morty’s Justin Roiland cleared of domestic violence charges

Ijust did that too. I enjoyed the latter half of s6. I enjoyed them all, and seeing Rick Prime back
Posh git from Downton Abbey? I'm all for it.
Dan Stevens has actually taken some really interesting roles. Legion, The Guest… that weird Will Ferrell Eurovision movie
And the beast which I thought he did well
Biggest upgrade of all time? I love Dan Stevens, he's got a fair range in roles he's willing to take.
EDIT: As you point out 2 posts later.
Great way to change a voice actor
So is it still Roiland voicing?
No, the new voice actors are the ones in the trailer.
New episode out. Was grand I suppose. I completely forgot about the fact that the voices were different until I scrolled through the posts in this thread.
Yeah was decent enough. A couple of subtleties with the voice changes but mostly spot on.
Yeah it was a good episode, a few laughs here and there.
I honestly forgot about the voice change and didn’t even notice up until after the episode, they’re different but will be easy to get used to.
The guy doing Rick's voice absolutely nailed it, could not tell the difference whatsoever. Morty and PB sounded quite different but not far off the mark.
Was a funny 1st episode

I can't believe that was actually Hugh Jackman.
Honestly thought the episode was a bit meh
I actually laughed at how bad the "impersonation" was. Seeing him in the credits was mindblowing!
Mr Poopybutthole and Squanch are funny as throwaway one scene characters but whole episodes about them is really overdoing it...ooooohweee!
