Absolutely pointless trying to keep the show going at this point. Just make something new, I’ve got enough confidence in Harmon and the rest of the writing team that I feel like they’d be able to create something great regardless of Roiland being a part of it.

It has been pretty clear that Harmon is the creative talent behind the show and Roiland had made himself replaceable. Harmon probably feels he can continue the show, so why not?

It's my understanding is that Dan is primary creative engine of the show. Guess we'll see.

I don't think it's that simple. Stuff Harmon works alone on can still be great, but it has a tendency to collapse under its own self-awareness. Whereas Roiland alone is just lulrandom and unhinged without Harmon's storytelling skills pulling it together.

The two together had this amazing mix of self-awareness and chaos energy. Prime example being the Meeseeks episode. Remains to be seen if Harmon can pull it off on his own.

Yeah, the initial concept work for Rick and Morty was absolutely awful, but between the two of them it somehow fused low brow insanity and nihilistic narrative depth into something way better than it had any right to be. I can see people being thrown off by losing Roiland as a voice actor, but I think the real hit is going to the unreasonably solid blend between their script writing.

Ya anyone who's seen Roiland's original Rick and Morty short knows this lol

Seems like trying to recast Bill Cosby in the Bill Cosby show after his allegations. Pull the chute, this craft isn't recovering from that.

I'm still going to watch it and I bet it's still as funny as ever.
