The Epic Twist in Dan Harmon's New Show Puts Rick & Morty Season 7's Recast Blunder to Shame!

Summary

Krapopolis, unlike Rick and Morty, has cleverly tackled the recasting problem by assigning distinct voice actors to its main characters. The incredible voice cast of Krapopolis features talents like Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry, adding an extra layer of brilliance to the show. Moreover, Krapopolis has already been renewed for an impressive three seasons, showcasing its undeniable popularity and success.

The new show, Krapopolis, may face inevitable comparisons to Rick and Morty, but it deserves a fair chance to succeed on its own merit. Krapopolis is an upcoming animated comedy series created by Dan Harmon, who has already managed to navigate past recasting issues that plagued Rick and Morty. Harmon, along with Justin Roiland, co-created the popular sci-fi comedy series that quickly gained immense popularity since its premiere in 2013. Rick and Morty showcased its ability to be both imaginatively spectacular, hilariously entertaining, and surprisingly thought-provoking. However, it also had its weak moments, like the lackluster episode "Rickdependence Spray" from season 5, which even Harmon himself seemed perplexed by.

Krapopolis Has Avoided A Big Rick & Morty Casting Mistake

Roiland not only worked as a writer and director on Rick and Morty but also provided the voices for the main characters and various supporting roles. His vocal talent played a significant role in the show's success. However, following his dismissal from the series due to charges of felony domestic abuse and false imprisonment, there were doubts about the future of Rick and Morty. To address this, the creators of the Adult Swim comedy have decided to recast the titular characters with voice actors who can replicate Roiland's distinctive sound. The reception to these new voices is still uncertain.

In retrospect, it may not have been the wisest decision to have the co-creator of the show voice both of its main characters. Rick and Morty is closely intertwined with Roiland's distinctive brand of humor, and although the show's success was not solely dependent on one individual, his departure is likely to necessitate a period of adjustment for the upcoming season. Harmon's upcoming animated project, Krapopolis, takes place in the mythical backdrop of Ancient Greece and revolves around a family of humans and Gods who grapple with the challenges of governing one of the world's earliest cities.

Krapopolis Has Another Rick & Morty Problem To Worry About

: Krapopolis boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, alongside Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso. The show has already been renewed for a third season, showing Fox's confidence in its potential success. Unlike Rick and Morty, Krapopolis avoids the challenge of recasting by having each main character voiced by a different actor. Although replacing iconic performers like Berry would still be a daunting task, the show is unlikely to face the same difficulties as Rick and Morty if any of the main cast members decide to leave between seasons.

Renewed for two more seasons prior to airing a single episode, the confidence in Krapopolis is evident. However, it faces a Rick and Morty-related hurdle – the inevitable comparisons. As one of Harmon's initial major animated endeavors beyond Rick and Morty, Krapopolis diverges significantly from the sci-fi themes. Nonetheless, with Harmon's association, it is unavoidable that critics and audiences will continuously draw parallels between Krapopolis and Rick and Morty.

Krapopolis, similar to Rick and Morty, cannot be easily replicated and should be given the opportunity to thrive or falter on its own merits. However, like Disenchantment, it will inevitably be compared to creator Matt Groening's previous works, The Simpsons and Futurama. It is hoped that Harmon's fresh animated venture will have the chance to establish its own identity.
