Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:He literally hasn’t been allowed into the offices for years and has to record all of his lines from home. They’ll be better without him, OP. Is there a source where someone who actually works on the show said this? I've only read it in this thread. Hell, I'd believe it if you pointed me to a kid on Reddit who says his uncle works at adult swim.

Good points. My take is that of the apology is good enough for the person he victimized, why should it not be good enough for me, some guy who doesn't know anyone involved?

Guy A. Person posted:I dunno that seems like an insane gimmick, like okay sure you get everyone to tune in and hear the new voices, so you get a rating boost for a single episode. Taking the opportunity while everyone is curious as hell about what is going on behind the scenes to advertise this and talk about the new season and how good everyone is feeling now that they are free from Justin's tyranny or whatever seems like a better long term goal to actually getting people excited about the show long-term. You could release featurette's on the hunt for new VAs and talk about how the process has informed how they wrote the season or whatever, and as a bonus you get to have your staff talk about what a great job this is and boy howdy it's good to finally be free from a toxic work environment, it seems like an easy layup. I don't remember any of the discourse saying that Roiland was tyrannical or fostered a toxic work environment. It was all "he was basically never around and not involved creatively at all," with writers who had been on the show for years saying they'd only met him in person once.

Mokinokaro posted:It doesn't help that the season's scripts were all originally made for Roiland and re-recorded late into production with Stevens. Next season should be smoother for him. I like the approach of writing the character the same way as they would've for Roiland but having the lines be spoken by a more fitting actor. I'm not here to dunk on Roiland as a voice actor, yes the Morty voice is hilarious, but his Korvo voice was just the Rick voice and Korvo isn't just Rick. He's sensitive and stubborn and clings to tradition and a grumpy British voice just brings all that out more immediately.

I've liked Krapopolis so far. It has a Family Guyish sensibility, but it's a lot smarter. I didn't realize that the first episode I watched wasn't the pilot, the character dynamics were clear enough that I thought we were being introduced to them.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:I always see people complaining about how Big Mouth is ugly and like, do you want your extremely awkward and sometumes explicit tween puberty series to be good looking? Those kids are gross as gently caress, that's the point. Maybe a little off-topic but I can't think of a show or book or movie that's gotten the tweenage experience as completely wrong as Big Mouth. The fundamental premise of the show is "middle school is a time dominated by obsession with sex" and like, did the creators go to middle school, the place where as much awkwardness as possible is done to *avoid* talking explicitly about budding sexuality? Like for every middle school kid who makes wanting to have sex their personality there are ten others who just want to be kids. PEN15 handled it much more plausibly. The budding sexuality is there but the effort is spent avoiding it more than exploring it.

I like the bit about one of the kids having the ghost of Duke Ellington is his attic, that's an inspired bit of absurdity. But then there's an episode about the kids dying to learn how Duke lost his virginity and...I can't imagine kids that age caring?

I appreciate Harmon's realization that the reason that lore-heavy episodes are so beloved by the fans isn't because we're all lore-obsessed weirdos, but because the lore episodes usually rock.

Mraagvpeine posted:I had a thought about the spaghetti episode. So Rick says that it takes an extreme amount of cortisol or whatever it was to spaghettify the body. When they were trying to find "ethical alternatives", couldn't they just produce that substance and pump dead bodies full of it rather than what they did? *Cinemasins ding*

I liked the kuato three kuatos deep promising the reveal of even deeper kuatos, just delightfully stupid, especially the longish sequence of Rick failing to jiggle it off the mech.

I liked the bit, the joke was that it's a stupid, pointless series of the same reveal over and over, which the characters were also annoyed by. Really liked the kuato episode other than the over-long club scene.

PostNouveau posted:Today I learned a podcaster I like wrote both the spaghetti episode and the fear hole episode. Always fun when my parasocial friends succeed. The architect of maybe the greatest podcast episode of all time: the one where they invite a native guy to talk about Custer's Revenge at Thanksgiving and spend the back two thirds awkwardly apologizing.
