Leaving aside the overall quality of the show, you can’t just recast the beloved main character and expect people to still be excited about it. Especially when the original actor is also a gamer who raved about how much he loved the source material, left the show for the right reasons, and connected with the fans so well.
They’ve mishandled this property spectacularly.
I agree with you but he didn't leave on his own accord, they fired him.
I'm pretty sure he left, or at the very least they "agreed" to stop cooperation. But I might be wrong, I didn't pay that close attention to the drama back then.
It was one of those resign or we fire you kinda deals according to what I remember reading back when it happened.
I'll take your word for it. Either way, happy for him for making it out of his dream turned nightmare.
