Hmm I wonder why they recast the Voice Actors to match the ethnicity and gender of the characters and took a victory lap, but kept the sixty year old jew broad to voice a 21 year old white guy. Hmmmm it's a mystery

They didn't change it because it would affect a woman. Meanwhile these puds are patting themselves on the back for matching the VA to the same ethnicity and gender as the character. It's a double standard and we all know it.

lol, I see that comment you left there, OP.

Wow, they want to rewrite the show as woke and remove its pro American history.

I'll defend this a little bit. Not to defend any other casting choices (and keep in mind like half of the cast have died), but Bobby's voice is pretty iconic. As a KotH fan I personally would want his voice reprised in a remake, even if he is an adult now. Anything else would be weird, I think.

That's fair. It just bugged me after reading an earlier article about getting POC VAs for POC characters and they were so proud of it. But it's okay for the white characters to not have matching VAs. It's a double standard

The VA was in a movie back in 86' called Willy/Milly.

Seems pertinent.
