Rick and Morty's New Voice Actors Revealed, and Fans Have Strong Thoughts
10/16/2023 06:20 pm EDT
'Ruined'
Some fans proclaimed that the series is simply "ruined" from here on out. They didn't expect they'd get passed this recasting.
It's Back
Rick and Morty is infamous for long breaks between seasons, so some fans were simply glad that the show is back in a timely fashion. The re-casting could easily have caused a longer delay.
'End It'
Some fans said that it would have been better to end the show than to continue without Roiland. The series has already been renewed through Season 10.
Roiland Credits
Some fans noted that Justin Roiland is still listed as an executive producer in the credits of this episode, but that is likely because of all the work that was already done on Season 7 before he was fired.
Range
Some fans withheld judgement on the voices so far, saying they needed to hear a wider range of emotion to decide if they were bothered.
Wouldn't Have Noticed
Some fans said that the new actors were so convincing, they might not have noticed the re-casting if they hadn't read about it online.
Hugh Jackman's Review
Finally, for some fans, only one review of the new episode matters – the response from Hugh Jackman. Jackman actually voiced himself in this episode, so there is clearly no bad blood here. Rick and Morty Season 7 continues this Sunday at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim.
