[Kharrak]

Nerdrage floods the veins of the interwebbernets... and I happily contribute.

...How can you have any of those characters, at this point, with different voices?

Witting staff have also suffered casualties, it seems.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

[Die Jason]

WTF? Seriously... Bender with a new voice? Noooooo!

[dammit]

But then...it's just not futurama any more ;_;

[Inferium]

Tousten? :< Tousten? ;_; Tousten? ;_; ;_; ;_;

This is just ....
They cant do that. Its against the law to change anything from Futurama :(
Someone - stop them....

[N3G4T1v3]

Noooo, Futurama will never be the same :'(

[onona]

I read about this on Facebook, and I have to admit I felt some twinges of nerdrage myself. How could they so spectacularly f@ck this one up?!

[Azimuth]

WTF? Seriously... Bender with a new voice? Noooooo!

He's too busy being Marcus Fenix these days.

[Cpt.Monde]

But then...it's just not futurama any more ;_;
So true =(
This is like taking a big bowl of awesome and then some idiot comes along and dumps mud in it. =(

[Cleric]

I'm not the biggest fan, but this still tugs at my nerdrage strings.

[Scorch621]

As several great figures in history have said...Ahh ****!!!...I enjy futurama...its quite funny...but bender with a new voice...thats like..like...like Darth Vader with johhny depps voice...totally screwed up.

[Die Jason]

He's too busy being Marcus Fenix these days.

More than that. Looking at his IMDB profile now, he's done voicework for a lot of video games, including Halo 3, Transformers, Afro Samurai, Madworld. And he was Wakka in Final Fantasy X. See full list of work here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224007/).

[Gazza_N]

Oh, huzzah! I've always wanted a reason to use this most excellent cliche!

*ahem*


FUTURAMA IS DEAD TO ME NOW.

...

That wasn't as fulfilling as I thought it would be. :\

[Incognito]

More than that. Looking at his IMDB profile now, he's done voicework for a lot of video games, including Halo 3, Transformers, Afro Samurai, Madworld. And he was Wakka in Final Fantasy X. See full list of work here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224007/).

Even so Bender won't be Bender without him.

[Die Jason]

Even so Bender won't be Bender without him.

Agreed.

What is the offical reason for the changes?

[Gazza_N]

I'll bet it's budget. They probably aren't willing/able to commit enough cash to allow them to hire the original writers and voice cast.

[pArkEr]

Why did they stop Futurama in the first place, it was years ahead of The Simpsons.

...

Literally.

[Cleric]

Parker... you're fired.

[Ruandre]

:<

[Flangenimblick]

Original voice cast for Futurama scrapped...

...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Dead h-scroll is dead, but worth it for lulz.

[GeometriX]

That is terrifying.
