And the 5th, the kickvic one, that it was for totally above board legit scheduling reasons.

But the thing is, even if he cancelled for a legit job, he's still FUCKED. He threatened to cancel. He did cancel. It doesn't really matter if he can gin up an excuse acceptable to his KC contract. The lawsuit would not be coming from KC. And from the position of the TI with Contact lawsuit that is likely incoming, they don't really care if Sabat can in some way justify some outside reason for canceling. All they will care about is the threatened action occurred.

And to think, all they needed to do was just not say anything. Vic would've died a slow death and people wouldn't have made note.

I'm not even sure about that. Toei specifically picked Vic as the VA for Broly. All of this bullshit has been an SJW attempt to overrule that decision. Toei was never going to put up with this bullshit.

People keep saying that Vic was picked by TOEI but is there a source for this?
Sorry if it's been brought up before.

All I know is its not because of the stupid "emergency recording session" because they could have moved the tour to Saturday or Sunday but no.

That is probably legit not an option. If I understand correctly they are in rented space in a standard multi tenant office building. A lot of those buildings shut regular public access on weekends. Plus Sabat's outfit would need staff on hand for the tours. I'm sure he doesn't want to pay weekend overtime for the tour. Friday would be normal business hours.

Toei....

Is it true we didn't get Sailor Moon for years because of them? Or was it really Naoko Takeuchi being upset over how it was handled internationally?

Did some googling. Toei let all the licenses lapse, and I believe, was actively against letting it be relicensed. Naoko was also apparently really really careful with the manga license because she didn't want shit like Tokyopop's translation.

The way Vic always tells the story at panels, he met some Funi people at a convention and they got him on the phone with Mike McFarland, the Funi director of the first Broly movie. McFarland had him do an audition over the phone and hired him before the call was over. It's possible they approached Vic on Toei's instruction, but I've not heard that anywhere else. He wasn't a big name at that point.

Here's him talking about it
