I kinda just accidentally found this out, I have proof in the thread
>>155667152Cool, there’s other proof with that Simon Hanselmann has mentioned in YWONABH that he was working o n something with Justin roiland before he got cancelled but he was able to slip through the cracks and was working on producing something for Hollywood and wasn’t able to share anything. I hope this is good. I have faith in that company as common side effects looked pretty good despite being ugly. I hope this is picked up!!!!
>>155667218I remember Simon saying he got an offer from someone to adapt MMO but ended up turning it down because it was obvious they wanted to neuter the material too much. Which is probably a good sign for this pilot, because it probably means it's going to be faithful.
>>155667303They didn't want to neuter it so much as rape it wit Megg being a Mary Sue feminist who "marched for witches rights" DURING THE SALEN WITCH TRIALS, Owl as her dudebro boytoy, Mogg a voiceless pet, and everyone else replaced with OC characters
>>155667528Here's what he said
>>155667826Okay, this is epic, we need way more authors like this with total integrity dropping the veto hammer on shitty adaptations
>>155667218He did work with Roiland on that halloween special
>>155667826I hope the aborted script leaks some day, it sounds like it'd be a hoot to read to see how badly they butchered the characters.
Could a show ever really fully show the depravity of MM&O?
>>155667152Good find. Even since that excerpt posted above he's continued to tease this series and others. This is likely co-written by Josh Pettinger who is a talent in his own right. I think the show can translate pretty well. The short was good and maybe a bit unfairly maligned. Megg's voice by that socialite chick was flat and bad but Glaser and the rest were pretty perfect. I didn't know this Gorelik person, and their aesthetic is not what I expected. The OP image is very clean and modern cartoony, but their work is pretty raw and idiosyncratic. Interested to see how it shakes out. https://janegorelik.myportfolio.com/
>>155670129Ok, amending this a bit, I didn't see the larger image when I said it was clean, it is actually scratchy in greater detail, the cars I mean, which is very interesting. Seeing them in this dirtier style is a smart choice that can help carry the depraved aesthetic over to this medium. If anything the OG short was a bit too clean.
>>155667152the voice actors in the halloween special kinda took away from the humor, so I hope they got better or replaced
>>155670389Hey! Culkin was a good pick. What better way to get someone to play a drug addict then a former one. Also WWJ wasn’t awful, the other two were lame IMO
>>155667152I fucking hate adaptations. They're only bad news.
