Liked: The new Korvo
As has been well-documented, the distinctive voice of Justin Roiland is no longer part of Solar Opposites. While animation fans are still waiting to hear what Rick and Morty will do about recasting Roiland, Solar Opposites leads with the change: the opening scene of episode one is the “voice-fixing ray” bit that was released alongside the news that Dan Stevens was replacing Roiland as Korvo. And then (after covering all bases by noting the change to Korvo’s voice will also extend to flashbacks), the show just moves right along. Korvo now has a British accent, and that’s that—and Stevens is so great in the role it’s easy to forget the character ever sounded any different.
