Agreed, I definitely think it is proper to support a redubbing, which I do (even if it is for selfish reasons in my case, admittedly: I don’t want to think about that stuff when I’m watching ANG in the future, and especially until Marsden answers for it, it’ll hang like a black cloud in the back of my mind). We should also remain cognizant of the fact that, unless it starts significantly affecting the one metric Hasbro cares about above all others (that being toy sales), it’s extremely unlikely that they even
acknowledge it, let alone spend the money to redub those lines, and thus base our decisions off that knowledge. At most, they’d probably try to quietly pull the promotional stuff they filmed for the movie - if it features James Marsden - from the official MLP channel.
For example, I probably would still go to see the theatrical rerelease, because there are too many other things I love about it, but my enjoyment still would be dampened somewhat. And it’s not like I can get the movie refunded from the various places I purchased it from (Amazon, Apple, YouTube)

I feel like that’s comparing apples to oranges - a more apt thing to say is that Sonic 3 would probably go ahead for the same reason WBD scrapped their release of Coyote vs. Acme: it all comes down to money. Unless the movie stood to lose more money from the controversy hanging over the actor, I can’t see them changing things up at this point.
I think it’s a trait of basically all big businesses (especially for the executives and shareholders) - the bottom line is always the most important thing, no matter what they say to the contrary. And that goes for all industries, really

Heh, I wonder if this is the background artist saying “sorry the release schedule has been all over the place” or something
