Adult Swim Fires "Rick and Morty" Creator and Main Voice Actor Justin Roiland Over Domestic Violence AllegationsJust allegations, note. But he's been fired from his own show. He voices both titular characters. They have female actors to voice the female titular characters. In addition to creating the show -- or co-creating it; Dan Harmon developed it with him from his original idea -- he's also a producer, writer, and director on the show. In other words, he doesn't just supply the voices, he's pretty much the main creative voice of the show.
We don't even know who this Mystery Accuser is: Roiland has been charged with domestic battery with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit in connection to an incident in 2020. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison. The show was already in a Marvel-like decline (though I haven't seen Season 6 yet). I don't think I'll bother watching the show with Fake Rick and Fake Morty. The #Cancelers aren't done just yet -- they want the show's other co-creator, Dan Harmon, also fired, over his harassment of a female writer on Community. Her name is Megan Ganz -- she's a writer on Always Sunny now, and she's the Meg who produces their podcast for YouTube. She has a major role in the Always Sunny trivia game episode. Roiland's career took a major blow over the last few weeks, after details about inappropriate interactions with various people, as well as domestic violence charges, emerged. He's since been removed from the Rick and Morty team, as well as Squanch Games, but Dan Harmon--Roiland's partner--remains. This happened ten years ago, during Community's run, and he's apologized and already took a hit to his career over it. (I think that's why he's in cartoons now.) And Megan Ganz, the woman he harassed, has herself forgiven him. But once you start purging, where do you stop? On the last day of 2017, Harmon published a now-deleted Twitter post in which he said, "This was truly the Year of the A**hole. Myself included," and addressed his hope for a better 2018. Not that this makes it too much better, but the sense I get is that he didn't sexually harass her as people usually think of it, that is, demamding sex. I think he fell in love with a unicorn -- a cute female comedy writer who was actually funny and not filling a Diversity Slot -- and he would not stop pestering her about dating him, and got pissy and moody when she made it clear that his feelings were not reciprocated. And he was definitely her boss, and impossible to avoid, so that would be a case of a very uncomfortable, even "hostile," work environment. But he owed up to it and she accepted. What business is this of anyone else's? Ah, so another valuable IP goes on the Woke Bonfire. Related: The M-She-U's Kevin Feige says that if you don't focus on story and entertainment first, all of your social messaging will fall on deaf ears. Wait, the M-She-U's Kevin Feige said that?!! I guess the failure of Phase 4 has finally woke his bitch ass up. Feige's admission came during an appearance on The Movie Business Podcast with host Jason Squire, who asked him what the secret to Marvel Studios' success is. Um, did Disney's co-president Louis D'Esposito quote that to the M-She-U's Kevin Feige recently? Did he quote that "often" over the course of the last year, perhaps? Has that quote been drilled into Feige's head with every fresh failure from Marvel Disney? That would be my guess! Let it burn. Let them all burn. Life is good. | Recent Comments
