I can't say I remember the second voice very well. I don't remember having any problems with it.

I think it could be done well, I'm not trying to say at all that it couldn't. Honestly it's just personal for me I guess, which probably sounds stupid. But it was Monty...

And i'm of the opinion (based on what I know), that Monty wasn't even particularly attached to Ren. He was originally going to voice Ozpin, and I've heard some people say he was going to voice Qrow. I think Miles and Kerry did more designing of Ren than he did. And he was just put in that role after they found someone they liked better for Ozpin. It's not really logic that drives my feelings on the matter though.

The only thing I really don't like is the idea of silencing Ren via some accident or just killing him off. I don't think that's a remotely good idea, it would come off as forced (cause it would be) and I can't imagine it being written well. It's also a deviation in the plan that had been laid out, which while I understand that things will never be as they would have been. I don't think they should intentional change something like that.

but honestly, there are probably ways of doing the voice change well, and even if it sounded quite different from the Ren we know... I'd like to think we would all understand.

But so long as they honor his work, I trust whatever decision RT comes up with for this.
