Wiig was probably the best part of the awful female led Ghostbusters movie, but I'd have preferred her to have a more physical presence in this film. DEI is a good cause and has been a part of so many good projects dating back to when I was a nipper, it isn't new, but to the current all too easily led and whacked generation, it's box office poison and there's just way too many grifters who will turn people away from this and now they have the ammunition, because it includes someone from bloody Ghostbusters 2016.
Basically this movie needs 'normies' yesterday. We aren't enough to make this a box office hit and you have to remember the budget for these things and that cinema attendance is pathetic now. Also, every headline and subtitle will say Amazon movie, and you know how quickly stuff reaches Prime.
No matter what anybody thinks about Twitter, YouTube or whatever the result is always the same. People call out swaps because at heart everybody knows there's zero need for them. You can't claim to be true to the franchise then start changing it. Look at the damage done to Revelation, it's time everybody involved smelt the coffee.
But you know what really causes all the toxicity? The crowing about it by the studios. If they'd said nothing and just gotten on with it practically nobody would have noticed. Two perfect examples? CGI MOTU and She-Ra on Netflix - swaps and representation to all fuck and nobody cared because, first and foremost, they were QUALITY and just got the job done without seeking approval from a mythical audience who have never shown up for anything. The crowing creates toxicity before you even launch.
When Rockstar have to put in their SEC filing that GTA might be negatively affecting by online perception and backlash, you can bet your ass culture has shifted away from faux representation.
Thanks for this, I've noticed this going on a lot. It's a "cottage" industry now. Nothing more. They have invaded new forums looking to stir up issues. IE ...find and convert new members for the "you should be mad at EVERY angle at a movie because it represents some infraction to you as a person in life", "so support said "self anointed YouTube leaders" slick outrage cash grab. It's been proven to pay well. That is, until the bubble burst on these schemes. I've seen folks who have decided to make "reviews" their careers online and pivot to this when they never did it previously. I've had my suspicions about a few here and I suspect it may grow since .org shut down and the new movie is fast approaching. There aren't any sites that speak extensively about this specific universe. While I get there are concerns of this movie ( such as way too many characters, that may signal a go big one and done ) and certain castings and how to connect things, just let it play out. I hope this site can withstand the invasion. I'm sure the Roboto character will have a voice modulator that so much can be done with to alter a characters voice. I want something waaay different from the 87 movie and it appears we are getting something closer to the cartoons. I want it to be amazing but heck, I'll take another cult classic at this point because it's been too long. There are a lot of vultures waiting to get there hands on this movie that never had the passion most of us have here. They are fly by night agitators that will attempt the grift then move on to the next after. Trust me.
I have never contributed in one of these discussions before but I find comments here more palatable than what I find on social media. Even if I strongly disagree with a comment it usually seems to have some thought behind it. What I find most appealing is the news writeup itself. The news I see is written without opinion and generally optimistic.

Sorry, but you also have to accept that the Youtubers got where they are because they were willing to call out the nonsense when nobody else would. And grifters or not (many aren't!), why on Earth does Hollywood keep giving them ammunition?
Not only does the unnecessary swapping etc tie a millstone round the project, it emboldens said Youtubers. It's not like Hollywood doesn't understand this, just look at Disney taking the 'queer' out of countless projects now. Something they always did in China anyway!
There will always be a market for calling out hypocrisy and sideways racism etc. And indeed ordinary punters rightfully doing the same. You can't tar everybody with the same brush, that's exactly what the studios did and why just about every major franchise got or is getting rebooted!
So this announcement doesn't particularly concern me one way or the other (I'm unfamiliar with Kristen Wiig, and Roboto's among my least favourite characters so he could be voiced by the guy who did Postman Pat for all I care), but it's got me excited for another reason: hopefully this means we'll start hearing about other voice actors doing CGI characters soon. Orko, Cringer and Battle-Cat perhaps!

That's if this version of Cringer and Battle Cat even speaks.
They better give Roboto a huge rack then if they're gender swapping him!
TRUST IN TRAVIS KNIGHT!
This has to be Chilly Tee himself or his loser dad posting on here.
Chilly Tee has done jackshit for trust, hes nothing but a weird nepo baby, that had to have his daddy push out a fucking legend, so his dead beat brat son had something for a career.
Im not even complaining that a female is playing roboto, this movie has so much negative going for it. Will just complain that shes not funny at all.
They'll probably distort the voice through a modifier program, and we'll only know it's Kristen Wiig when she's mentioned in the credits.
