'Rick and Morty' Fans Hatch a Plan To Save Series Ignoring Justin ... (We Got This Covered)

It's been swept under the proverbial rug for a few years now, but Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland — who also happens to be the voice of both ...

There’s the argument that instead of recasting Roiland’s roles, he should just be demoted to a lesser part, allowing Jerry Smith (voiced by Saturday Night Live alum Chris Parnell) to steal the spotlight and shine like the true star he is. In the meantime, Rick and Morty fans are steadfast in their belief that the series could continue without its main duo. But fret not, fans have a surefire solution to the Justin Roiland controversy; Rick and Morty without Rick and Morty. Right now, AdultSwim has pumped the brakes on Rick and Morty, which seems to be [looking for Roiland’s replacement](https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/can-rick-and-morty-continue-without-justin-roiland/) during the temporary hiatus.

Four clear signs that prove Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland ... (Screen Shot)

The Rick and Morty creator has found himself the centre of much controversy, much of which has highlighted just how much of a creep he's always been.

High On Life is looking to be a buggy yet decent pre-holiday filler, or potentially a great Christmas purchase for Rick and Morty enthusiasts—given the fact that it practically oozes with Roiland’s signature wit and style. Squanch Games lead designer Erich Meyr elaborated on the systems involved in making the game, explaining, “You have up to four guns and every single one of them has a different line. The nature of the former presents a much bigger challenge, “It’s like writing a TV show that people can reach in and knock things around,” he told the publication. Ex fans that were shocked by the leaked messages took to TikTok to joke that Mr Jellybean—a giant anthropomorphic jelly bean that featured in an episode of season one—was actually a self-insert for Roiland himself. We’re sick of hearing about creators turning out to be slimy harassers, and although it pains me to say it, I’m sure Roiland won’t be the last. The game is helmed by the man responsible for the titular character’s famous voices, and developed by his own studio, Squanch Games. When the victim went to upper management with the worrying claims, she was dismissed and no action was taken against Dixon. And now we’re going to be all Precious about it?” Yikes is the only word that comes to mind. Only days after it was revealed that Roiland is facing domestic violence charges, DMs between him and several women were leaked online, highlighting a creepy and sinister side to the critically acclaimed director. Another clip from the same podcast had Roiland saying: “100 years ago, it was little 13-year-old girls—if they were built like a woman, they were getting married and having kids. Of course, in classic fashion, Roiland’s legal team have vehemently denied any wrongdoing and assert that the District Attorney’s office will dismiss the case once it has gone through review. News has been steadily surfacing about the showrunner’s conduct, particularly in regard to how his actions are not only emblematic of a persistent problem in showbiz, but also of one that’s reflected in his own show.

Will Rick And Morty Get Cancelled Due To Justin Roiland's Charges ... (Attack of the Fanboy)

Ahead of the expected release of Rick and Morty Season 7, series co-creator Justin Roiland is now facing two-year-old domestic violence charges.

Thus, it appears that Adult Swim is quite considerate when it comes to controversy with the co-creators of Rick And Morty. However, WBD’s [Cartoon Network](https://attackofthefanboy.com/entertainment/is-cartoon-network-shutting-down-explained/) (which owns Adult Swim that produces and airs Rick And Morty) may decide to sell the rights of this show to some other network. However, the co-creator did not face additional repercussions even though prior to his controversy concerning the video, Harmon was accused of sexual misconduct by a former colleague on Community. Following the virality of these reports against Roiland, the Rick And Morty co-creator has received massive backlash across social media. While details are sealed, the charges mean that Roiland is accused of some form of domestic battery and unlawful as well as forceful imprisonment of the woman, who was seemingly his girlfriend at the time. While false imprisonment can also fall under a misdemeanor, per NBC’s claims, Roiland is charged under the count of felony.
