Thread 150258754

According to the voice actor of Beast Boy, himself, he was fired back in February by Warner Bros/Sam Register after coming out about his Parkinson's.

Is this the end of TTG or are they going to try and recast him?

>>150258754 (OP)
>Fired a man with a terminal disease
WHAT THE FUCK!?

>>150258804
Land of the Free, etc.

>>150258804
It's not terminal as is in fact treatable to an extent.

>>150258804
The company that owns Batman and Harry Potter sadly can't afford to pay a man with an illness who is part of their longest running DC cartoon series. Zaslav needs another yacht, that's just how it is.

It would be a big heap lawsuit to fire someone because theyre sick. I'm not accepting that explenation. Least of all from one of his friends.

>>150258754 (OP)
Man that's sucks I hate TTG but damn that's fucked up

>>150258754 (OP)
Jesus, that's fucked. Couldn't they at least keep him on until he retires? I mean, Michael J Fox at least got nine years out of his career before he had to wind down.

>>150258754 (OP)
This is the faggot who thought Puffy AmiYumi deserved their own show.

>>150258804
Psychopaths naturally fit into exec roles.

>>150259032
And he was still showing up in some shows as guest characters, like a doctor on scrubs.

>>150259054
Greg is just a VA

>>150258754 (OP)
whatever, just cast the next beast boy already and throw out the washed up sick turd

>>150259068
I think they meant the producer, Sam Register

>>150258754 (OP)
Its because he ain't green.

>>150259125
Yes

>>150258804
Why wouldn't you fire a man with a disease that affects his ability to work? It's not a handout

>>150259085
Stfu

>>150259160
because not everyone here is an amerilard

>>150259125
Well with a name like that ya know when he fired him he had to make a loud CHA-CHING noise as he walked out.
But seriously all I know about Sam Register is that he's been around a long time and his name is on a bunch of shit I like from CN. Didn't think he'd turn out this way though. But I barely know him.

>>150258754 (OP)
There has to be more to this. What's the full story?

>>150259160
>complains that people need to hire someone with a disease
>probably also complains when people with diseases collect welfare
Where the fuck do these people work then, shit for brains?

>Co-worker gets fired and replaced by AI
>Does nothing
>Some college student makes a fnaf animation and uses ai voices since he can't afford voice actors
>"OI VEY GOYIM YOU ARE NOW BANNED FROM EVERY ANIMATION/VOICE ACTING STUDIO AND YOU ARE NOW PERMENATELY BLACKLISTED FOR NOT PAYING ME!!!"

Honestly, fuck this stupid kike hag. People only care about you because of your big fucking jewish tits and nothing more. Fuck her for not standing up for Greg.

>February
But he was recording new episodes a month ago?

>>150260069
Anon, you're confusing Tara with Grey DeLisle. But you're right about her being a kike.

>>150260082
.. wait, what the fuck?

>>150259160
It’s illegal, even a complete sociopath would save the company lawsuit money by just waiting for the person to die instead

>>150260082
Hold up, what the actual fuck?

>>150258754 (OP)
They'll recast him. Just like when they fired Mindy Cohn as Velma

>>150258804
Anon that post is antisemitic

>>150260082
Someone pointed out that he probably has a contract with season 10 and that it will be his final season

>>150260157
It's not illegal at all. An employer can dismiss someone if they are incapable of doing the job, including for long-term ill health. This is one of the five “fair reasons” for dismissal in Europe and America, has been the case for the last hundred years

>TTG
Will die after season 10
>TT Season 6
Any chance of it happening is dead
>Night Begins to Shine spinoff
If Zaslav didn't already kill that, then that's dead too

>>150260249
Outside America you'd conclude that he would need to be recast sooner rather than later. But still keep him on board until he can't perform, and let him be part of the process of finding his successor.
Instantly firing people is considered rude.

>>150258754 (OP)
Burn it down.

>>150258754 (OP)
>this is how ttg ends
I don't care for the show but it's not worth it.

>>150260249
Being diagnosed doesn’t change his current capabilities overnight anon, he has cause to sue for that just like women can sue if you discriminate them based on the assumption they’ll be pregnant within the next 5 years

You know, I kind of want someone to sue Warner in a big way just to get them to shake up their current leadership and finally make it too damn obvious that they need the change to happen now.

>>150260069
Fucking hack

>>150258754 (OP)
Why exactly fire him for having Parkinson's? From the sounds of it, it doesn't impact him from voicing Beast Boy.

Write the finale

>>150261649
so why are you trying to summon fake!barneyfag

>>150259189
>>150259248
More likely this is someone who is always seething at "them dang Americans/westerns"; they tend to be more openly psychopathic as oppose to hiding it.

>>150261765
>Most realistic finale
The show just cuts off at a random episode because of this or maybe Zaslav kills it because it's a cartoon and he hates those.

>Most realistic finale according to someone that watches the show
Meta jokes about it being the last episode
Robin spends the whole time trying to get the titans to do something finale worthy but all they do is dick around
fart and/or butt jokes
A villain (either Slade or some big shot DC villain) comes in and the titans fight him in a nicely animated, well choregraphed scene like in that Zack Snyder episode
Episode closes with a retarded gag like in the movie (but probably less funny)

>Most realistic finale according to someone that *doesn't* watch the show and gets all their info from rant videos and social media clips
Fart jokes
Attacks at the audience
More fart jokes
random 2 minute speech about taxes and equity or something
twerking and butts

>>150258754 (OP)
>and they are trying to steal his voice and replace him with a mimic
Is this implying they plan to use an AI generated voice?

>>150261765
All you need to know is the title of the episode: "The Wafflening"

>>150258754 (OP)
How does PD effect his voice acting skills?

>>150262163
Over time, it’ll affect his ability to speak. It can get bad enough that even attempting to say a short sentence will be incredibly difficult for him.

>>150260249
uh, no. lawyers have made it impossible to fire someone with any disabilities.

He's been using images of Beast Boy on his tik tok where he promotes crank medical treatments, i can't imagine his employers approved.

He's an antivaxxer:
>>150262944

>>150262984
Pretty sure Tara is too.

>>150263008
As if there weren't enough reasons to hate her...

>>150262984
whatever

>>150260069
that was grey delisle, and the post literally says "the og titans cast begged sam that the show would not [be] the same wtihout greg" so one can assume she at least tried to do something about it unless you're singling her out for any particular reason

>>150262537
But it hasn't gotten that bad yet, so there is no reason to fire him. I'm pretty sure if it got to the point that it affects his ability to voice act he would step down himself.

>>150261939
A sound alike most likely, but who knows what those fucks woukd try to pull if they could get away with it.

>>150263938
This makes me remember back when John Witherspoon passed away before he could record the now-cancelled Boondocks reboot. They planned to sync his voice with a soundalike VA using clips through some method with technology they had to make it sound more "authentic" or whatever. Maybe it's a similar situation here.

>>150258918
Got rid of him before the insurance premiums got too much for WB to handle.

>>150258754 (OP)
Anything to finally slay the beast known as TTG. I hope he feels better.

WB are just the biggest assclowns in showbiz. How did they imagine this would look to the fans of the show that keep it alive?

Greg Cipes got canned for being a vaccine and health denier lmfao he also has multiple grooming allegations and he acts for kids shows. He only announced he had Parkinson’s because he was about to get canned

>>150258754 (OP)
Parkingtons take years to become really bad and barely effects your voice, fuck them for firing him.

>>150265202
>multiple grooming allegations
this is news to me, where is this from?

>>150265187
Teen Titans explores the african jungle and record all the animal sex in a new documentary?
fukkin poggers

>An individual close to the situation painted the circumstances of Cipes’ exit in a different light, telling TheWrap that when producers approached Cipes about stepping down from the role due to performance issues, they offered to create a new character for him to voice and began talks with his agent on a development deal to keep him involved. This individual insisted Cipes was not fired because he has Parkinson’s Disease, but because his performance was not up to the level that producers needed for Beast Boy.

>Cipes has recorded a couple of scripts featuring the new character and the development deal is still being negotiated, this individual said.”

>>150261765
Robin creampies his own butthole

>>150258754 (OP)
why is this controversial? for example you wouldn't keep a chauffeur on your payroll if you learned they were going blind. and yeah sure he could still voice act for a bit, but the degradation would become noticeable and make children depressed during daytime television. am i out of my mind or something??

>>150258754 (OP)
He’s CRAZY crazy

These types never shut the fuck up or stop shilling shit so his co-workers and bosses probably got tired of him

>>150268081
also i would have been more insulting to wait a week to fire him. would have just been openly pretending to care

>>150268161
anon to be fair when you're diagnosed with an incurable, then you might as well turn to moon magic

>>150258937
It's just some random person

>>150258804
Based. Fuck humans, and their miserable little needs and rights. Why bother when a computer can do the work for free? Total human death NOW.

>>150268161
He's living the character

>>150268161
Yep, he was fired for using Beast Boy's voice/likeness to tell people they can cure cancer and Parkinson’s by putting coffee up their butt.

Had he not put on the voice or kept reminding people he voices a children’s character while advocating boofing they probably wouldn’t be trying to put him on a smaller character nobody cares about.

>>150268161
Lmao.

>>150268161
The dude talks about drinking his own piss too apparently.

>>150268315
Sometimes social media is good

>>150267236
Yea, this makes more sense. You can’t fire someone outright for being sick, it would cost millions in lawsuits. Just like you can’t fire someone for being black or female.

You CAN however, fire people for any number of other reasons you do not have to justify. Tired of the darkies on your staff? Slowly start weeding them off the staff due to “performance issues”.

I would argue the studio is at least justified here. Parkinson’s WILL cause issues with his voice and recording schedule. And it’s unlikely they will ever improve. So they need to have the talk about him retiring from the show sooner rather than later.

>>150268269
this... he failed to recognize the persona was not his intellectual property or that his actions impacted its value

>>150268269
Even if they fire him, it’s WAY too late to divorce him from the character. He has held the role for 20 years. If he says Beast Boy says to jam coffee grounds up your ass, him no longer being in the most recent season won’t make people forget

>>150268342
Oh, but when Bear Grylls does it, you love it

>>150268381
This and CN won’t stop airing the other hundreds of episodes he already was in. Same thing happened with Roiland and Rick and Morty. He is still the voice for 60 episodes that they air repeatedly

>>150268381
enter A.I.

>>150268447
AI isn’t anywhere near advanced enough to do voice acting.

Plus, that still isn’t a solution. Unless you are suggesting using AI to wipe everyone memory of him playing the character all these years

>>150268381
Heck. Fired or not, he can still do the voice while schizoposting on tiktok.

>>150268420
They might change the audio for the sixth episodes.

>>150261765
Larry the Titan is shown in the last minute applauding but then being sad that it's really the end. He tries to magically make it go on for even longer, but winds up summoning a whole bunch of other disgruntled DC fanboys and characters who want to kick his ass for the Titans dominating everything for so long.
He appears in a Porky Pig-esque iris, laughing "That's all, folks!" while the fanboys and characters grab him back into the fight cloud.

I actually met this guy at his house in LA a couple years ago
>how did you meet a celebrity at their house
He lives in a shack on a public walkway at the beach. He spends time sitting outside, calling out to those who pass by. I foolishly made eye contact and had no exit strategy. I initially assumed he was some kind of beach dwelling homeless hanging around someone else’s house.

Anyway, he then proceeded to explain to me the importance of crystals and why I needed some to eliminate the bad energy surrounding me. He knew I was skeptical, so he gave me one and said to trust him, it would serve its purpose later. I took it because I just wanted the interaction to end. Later that night, a drunk driver obliterated my rental car at a restaurant. I’m not sure if the crystal caused me misfortune, or it caused my already doomed car to be wrecked while I wasn’t in it.

>>150268161
One of his newest instagram posts is him and his wife naked by a river so that probably doesn't help either.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DOPTF-ykh5C/?hl=en

>>150261765
Beast Boy gets addicted to coffee enemas and crashes out when the rest of the team tells him he's fucking weird for it so he uses crystals to kill them

>>150268655
He also came from Coral Springs, which is some bumfuck Florida town that tries to look fancy and has its rich quartered off into the rural and gated communities but is pretty sketch and you get burnouts like him they aim to hide.

Even if he does get fired, he has been doing work for Go for 12 years, surely he is set?

>>150268269
>by putting coffee up their butt.
What is it with health schizos and enemas?

I've seen too many insane moms who post pics of their kid's intestinal linings after shoving bleach up their kid's ass, believing it's autism worms coming out of their butt.

>>150268355
It’s fascinating how anons try to /pol/ everything now.

>>150269028
There was some FL mom really obsessed with checking if her daughter had pinworms or not and constantly videotaping and taking photos of her shining a flashlight up the girl's anus.
You have to feel for those kids being exposed like that by their crazy parents.

>>150269012
He pays over 10 grand a month for his little Venice beach shack. As well as hundreds of thousands on crystals.

I don’t know how much TTGo is paying the main cast but even if it’s a lot, I feel like he is blowing through it well beyond a sustainable rate

>>150269037
It’s just an example of how easy it is to fire someone for a normally illegal reason. You just have to not outright say that’s the reason and you are good

Something tells me part of the reason he doesn’t feel good has to do with eating crystals all the time

>>150269345
He likes the cronch too much to quit

>>150262945
I just opened his Instagram and found out that he does coffee enemas on himself. Yeah, no, this isn't right.

>>150258754 (OP)
I remember watching a making of for the original Teen Titans show and there the woman in charge of voice casting said she really liked his more vulnerable voice.
Felt like sharing that info

>>150268655
Wild story anon, I choose to believe that without the crystal you’d have been crippled in some rental car
Meeting Beast Boy’s actor in his shanty house by the beach sounds surreal

>>150259189
>>150258880

>Having spent some time with Mr. Cipes, I can add one detail; he's an extremely bizarre person. Like, on the level of Ezra Miller — just less famous and more likeable... but also sometimes off putting. I heard some very strange things come out of his mouth.
>So it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were ulterior motives for his dismissal. Warner Bros. is a blood sucking conglomerate, but, jesus... firing him because he developed Parkinson's seems pretty far fetched.
>He quoted the Jerky Boys (not kidding) during a meeting for about 45 minutes, even after being directly asked to stop by an executive. One of the most surreal episodes of my entire life.
>I also watched him bring a different production meeting to a grinding halt so he could circle the table and provide "free blessings" to the water glasses people were drinking from... touching the glasses with his fingers and joking about having not washed his hands. This is a room of professionals in ties and shit — not actors. It was weird as fuck.
>He's a bit of a childish prankster with a "safety blanket" relationship with his dog. And he finds himself very funny even when everyone else is trying to ignore him. He has a way of focusing the attention back on himself.
>He is also very "spiritual" so he VERY FREQUENTLY offers anyone in his immediate vicinity unsolicited, Russel Brand styled "spiritual" advice. It's a treat to watch.
>He's also publicly anti-vax. And he believes he got his Parkinson's from Covid. I'm serious.
>I'm not saying he's an evil dickbag. But I am saying he makes people uneasy in group settings... and that's more likely why WB shitcanned him.

>>150268655
Are you the guy who made that "whàt do you do for work" video I remember seeing that and also his little recording booth too

>>150269989
It seems surreal but I've likely walked right by his house several times over the years unknowingly while going to that beach

>>150270141
No, it had been many years prior to that video. I remember finding that video by accident and having a laugh about someone else getting lured into his trap

>>150268674
She had a nice body, shame she’s probably also insane.

>>150260082
I can tell from these posts that Parkinson’s or not the guy is pain in the ass.

>>150270726
He reminds me of Roiland. Perceived invincibility at the office due to his position that he assumes he cannot be removed from as he can, and will, weaponize the fanbase against the company if they fire him. So he makes himself as insufferable as possible because no one can stop him

>>150270743
I feel like Brandon Rogers will do this at some point down the line.

>be absolute nuisance to everyone you have to work with
>if not tied to such a prominent role would have been fired a decade ago
>announce you have Parkinson’s
>get fired
>mobilize your fanbase
>all in a 24 hour window
Something doesn’t smell right here. Like he knew he was going to get fired and kept the Parkinson’s trump card in his back pocket for just such an occasion

And considering he is a crystal eating retard, I highly doubt he has been to an actual doctor to even confirm this. He is likely self diagnosing issues caused by his vegan diet as Parkinson’s

>>150259160
Michael J Fox had voice acting gigs after his Parkinson's diagnosis. It's possible to do the job if it hasn't progressed that far yet. He was diagnosed in 1991, and voiced Milo in 2001

>>150271173
Let's see if Tara Strong says anything stupid in support of him next, or spills out her own tea on his pee drinking.

>>150261765
Beast Boy while mute waves the Titans goodbye as he goes to spend the rest of his days on the farm upstate with the Doom Patrol who've come to pick him up.

>>150268342
>the body releases all the toxins and excess shit it filters out into a smelly liquid you shoot out of your genitals
>there are people who think drinking and/or putting it on your body is good actually

Are crunchy hippies and antivaxxers actually this stupid? Or are watersports just a more popular fetish than I thought it would be?

>>150271651
>Tara Shit

>>150260200
>Just like when they fired Mindy Cohn as Velma
Why was she fired?

>>150258754 (OP)
Damn thats crazy but I seem to remember being told this show wasnt for me and to eat shit if I didn't like it.

>>150260082
This reads like a Chris Chan post

>>150260232
Wouldn't that mean that rather than being "fired", he is just not getting his contract renewed?

Still sucks if it is because of the Parkinson's, don't get me wrong.

>>150260249
At the very least, you have to wait until the employee is struggling to do their job even with accommodations before letting them go. Even then, it's still risky from a legal standpoint. However, I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong.

>>150258804
This is probably why Chadwick Boseman and Kevin kept quiet about their health for so many years, soon as they know you’ve got a terminal illness they’ll kick you to the curb.

>>150268655
It was a jack off crystal and you forgot to charge it

>>150258754 (OP)
Fake as fuck. A few months ago he was praising them for supporting him through his illness. He got fired for using his Beast Boy voice to promote "alternative" hippie bullshit like crystal healing, not for being ill.

>>150268187
Parkinson is fairly treatable these days. Definitely not something where a sane person would immediately jump to magic crystals and drinking their own piss as the go-to treatment.

Is it over yet?

>>150272905
What he does with his talents in his spare time isn't his employers' issue.

>>150272983
If you're using your boss' IP to promote things that could potentially harm your boss' image, you're LUCKY if you only get fired.

His voice is fucked.

>>150273776
Why? The story is obviously being told with omitted details. The dumbest, most corrupt company on earth would not fire someone for being sick because that would kill then with lawsuits.

>the show's not ending, they just replaced Greg
That's fucking wild, he's been voicing this version of BB for 25 years
