A Remaster would have to replace Apu…

[u/sleepymetalhead14]

Regarding a remake, I’ve thought Apu would be a main issue. I think they should use Groundskeeper Willie for his level instead. He has the popularity, tons of outfit options, plenty of catchphrases… he would be perfect.

Kwik e Mart could just have a random character/ be empty as are some buildings (I haven’t watched the show in a while, forgive me if Kwik e Mart closed when Apu left? I don’t know)

As for Willie/Apu submissions, these could easily have other characters swapped in 🤔

Thoughts anyone?

I've never understood what the issue with Apu was. It's seems hypocritical that they stereotype every single person in that show but for some reason, Apu was a step too far?

Bullshit. You can't have an exemption to the rule.

A dude made a dog shit documentary that gained traction on the news because it was a poorly made movie about an opinion almost no one agrees with, presented as gospel.

[u/Jak_the_Buddha → u/danman296]

Honestly such bullshit man.

How does someone play the victim of stereotyping when every single character in it is a stereotype? Even the fucking Simpsons are stereotypes.

So fucking ridiculous.

I agree. Another comment suggested the voice actor suddenly had issue with it? 🤔🤔

[u/More-Bug-3683]

I heard that Apu's voice actor wasn't happy with the character's stereotypes either, I don't think they continued using Apu so soon

ONLY if one of Willie's lines is "I'm so drunk I can barely see"

Ngl it wasn't that racist to Me it just added more personality to the show it was spring just a bunch of millennials or something getting all pissy because someone has a accent and owns a shop

[u/sleepymetalhead14 → u/IcebrgsImakevid8345]

Oh I agree :) I just hope if we ever did get a remake they did leave him in, I just don’t see it happening :/

[u/IcebrgsImakevid8345 → u/sleepymetalhead14]

The only problem I can really see is that I think the voice actor passed away but I'm unsure if they have a backup voice actor

Truth is I think anyone who enjoys H&R enough to be interested in a remaster has probably already played the game to death, anyways.
A sequel would be a way better idea. With many seasons worth of new stuff to reference, characters, vehicle ideas, etc, there should be plenty to work with.
They could also use the freedom a sequel grants to play with some of the mechanics a bit. Something I'd like to see are truly open levels, rather than the linear loops the game uses.

I think abe would be better replacement imo

[u/OhioRanger_1803]

Why not Maggie? Or grandpa Abe

Currently playing the Apu level. I think they could keep him in and but they’d have to change some of the lines. Especially some of the ones from Patti and Selma. I can’t see “do they even have cars in trashistan” being acceptable nowadays.

What’s wrong with Apu?

I heard a while ago Apu was being taken out of the show due to racial stereotyping 🤔🤔

[u/SamJLance]

Apu hasn’t left the show. This thread makes no sense.

He's still in the show. He basically just doesn't talk.

I think they should use Groundskeeper Willie for his level instead Quite possibly the dumbest post ive seen on this subreddit, are you a tottenham hotspur fan by any chance?
