I love that Craig and Niel want Troy to be a part of the show in and outside of the camera. Like they could move on without him and that would be that. But instead, they say "Come on, Joel. Let's succeed together!"
Too bad that courtesy wasn't extended to Bruce Straley, the co-director of TLoU, who left Naughty Dog in 2016. I wish that everyone could have reached at least a temporary reconciliation for professional reasons, if only for a more rich commentary and nuanced retrospective on the franchise. I'm super curious about the extent of Straley's involvement in the narrative's direction, game environments, character backstories and evolutions, etc. i.e. Did Straley have any part in the creative, cinematography, and finalizing that driving scene in the game's intro? Large parts of that sequence were lifted almost frame-for-frame in the pilot episode. Or the S01E04 moment with Joel driving while Ellie is handling Bill's magazine? This is also almost a carbon copy of the game sequence, including character dialogue. Did technical staff in another department storyboard everything down to the camera angles - and present that to Druckmann? I hope subtle distinctions are made if this is ever explored in more detail for BTS media. In such cases, to leave people unacknowledged and out of the credits - and let the viewer believe that everything should be fully credited to Druckmann - would be scummy.
@@oshl4387 That would be scummy but then again we don't know the extent of his involvement so we can't truly say. What we do know is that what we're getting is awesome so far! New episode tonight!
@@oshl4387 Why would Bruce get that "courtesy?" Bruce was director of gameplay of the first game, while Druckmann was the creative director. The story is Druckmann's. Why would HBO want to involve a Naughty Dog ex-employee from 6 years ago that had zero to do with making this show happen. I can see giving him a nod in the credits at MOST, but by no means a requirement.
The best part about Troy Baker is his obvious love and obsession with the last of us. When he talks about making it, playing it, auditioning for it; it explains so much why the game slapped so hard. The guy gave his all and it’s no wonder the producers and HBO wanted him to be apart of this new journey. ❤️ Really hope he’s actually IN the show tho…
Well said. Hearing him recite lines from both the show and the games word for word shows how infused with the DNA of The Last of Us he truly is. Glad Neil and Craig have involved him (and the rest of the video game cast) in the making of the show. Looking forward to seeing his live-action acting chops in a few episodes time.
Troy is fantastic! I’m watching gameplay again and he gave Joel a soul-ofc with the incredible direction of Neil. It’s not just words on a page; it’s demeanor, it’s tone, attitude, etc. I’m glad Pedro is staying true to Troy’s Joel.
Joel also didn't eat the biscuit the neighbor offered him that he was feeding to the old lady who was the first infected of that family. Sarah also didn't eat the cookies because they had raisins instead of chocolate chips. Tommy who was supposed to pick up something on the way to the job site, something that could have contained flour, instead ate left-over chicken wings for breakfast at Joels. Joel, Sarah and Tommy all narrowly dodged getting infected that day.
See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, that sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
@@AustinWigley its all fate, we really dont have control over anything other than our emotions and how we react to situations and our thought process through the whole journey. this is what i believe. there are no coincidences, not in this life.
One thing on my mind is wouldn’t the fungus die when cooked? Like bacteria in water when boiled, wouldn’t the fungus die as it’s baked in the oven or fried in the pan. I understand workers in the flour factory in Jakarta turning because they may breathe it in or something but in my mind, cooking it would kill it right?
It was never in the cards for Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson to reprise their roles from the game, but I'm glad the show is still doing right by them by giving them supporting roles and letting Troy host the podcast
Everything about this adaption has been done so right. Being faithful to the source material AND respecting the voice actors! So many video game adaptations can learn from this one.
@@WatcherXel The fact that Ashley brought Ellie to life through her acting and now she's literally bringing her to life as her mother is so poetic, perfection. 🤌🏻
The love and respect I have for this man. I was lucky enough to meet him and he was so passionate. I was a rambling mess but every game I mentioned he easily talked about it without pause, because he cares about his work. He’s a wonderful human being and I’m so glad he’s apart of this show, he deserves so much credit
Troy is such a GOAT in video games world. I first met him when i played Far Cry 4 and I was amazed by his work, then I played The Last of Us and I was totally in love at the end of the game, the way he's putting his emotions to all the character he is playing - amazing guy. I hope we can see him in the next episode♥️
Every time I see Troy speak I completely forget he’s Joel, cos he’s so different, then I remember and I go “WHAT THE ACTUAL F***’?” He’s such an incredible actor.
Thank you so much for visiting us in Western Australia back in 2018 Mr Baker. I've just completed the new Last of Us part 1 PS5 remake and I'm glad your voices were recycled back into it. I hope you get more work you're extremely talented! Will be seeing the show soon!
Wow, I honestly wish I noticed that the first time around. I'm glad that there are always easter eggs like that to all of Naughty Dog's games throughout each of them between Sam's lighter, the strange relic and in TLOU2 when you find Nate's ring in the bank.
I was expecting an expansion on Ish so I was a little sad the show gave even less there than the game, but at least seeing the environment was a surreal treat.
Uncharted movie: *Nolan North as cameo* TLOU TV show: *Troy Baker as James David's gang member, Ashley Johnson as Anna Ellie's mother, Jeffrey Pierce as Perry.*
@@d8l835 yes, it’s a small scene of him sitting at the beach talking to Tom’s version of Nate, having witty banter. It’s short but it makes me wish he was Nathan Drake in the movie instead of what the movie ended up being.
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx Joel never fought David in the game, why would he fight him in the Show? He never even met him, he was still recovering when Ellie was caught. I think they're going to do it similiar to how it was in the game and let Ellie kill David while Joel is fighting the henchmen. At least I hope so; that was a pivotal scene in the game and they're already building up Ellie's character in a way that the first non-infected human she actually kills will be David.
Hope Ashley Johnson also get to speak in between the wait for each episode. She’s THE freaking Ellie of the game! Also, I love the series, the game, but I am not going to listen to the podcast not until the series is over. I just want to get the feel of the series. I don’t want comparisons, don’t want to know the BTS. I just want the product. And it’s awesome so far. Can’t wait for tonight. Gonna be heartbreaking. (Ooops, spoliers)
"Don't get attached to anybody, it'll just get you killed." Technically Bill getting attached to Frank got him killed. He probably would still be alive otherwise. Yea, yea, "it's not the amount of breathes you take but the moments that take our breathe away." I get it.
Can't wait To see Henry and Sam's Death I'll definitely cry but the death that hit me the hardest was Marlene And I'm curious to see how it is interrupted.
@@danafarr4289 I mean, it's not everyone who watches the show, or these videos, that have played or seen the game. One point of this show is to make this great story consumable for people who are not gamers. Is that so hard to understand?

He is. Thank God. A few of the voice actors are. The actor who plays Tommy is in episode 4. He's the military dude with the big beard

Troy is playing James, the right hand man to David, the leader of cannibals who tried to turn Ellie into an item of "affection" shall we say.

@@maxwoods8216 it was probably on sugar too
It's a dream come true to have Troy and Ashley involved. This adaptation exceeded my expectations and became something of Its own.
Can't believe this guy is Joel, Sam Drake, and Booker DeWitt, such an iconic voice actor in video games 👑
I love that HBO is giving so much spotlight to the ORIGINAL Joel, Troy Baker ❤❤❤❤
It was never in the cards for Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson to reprise their roles from the game, but I'm glad the show is still doing right by them by giving them supporting roles and letting Troy host the podcast

Everything about this adaption has been done so right. Being faithful to the source material AND respecting the voice actors! So many video game adaptations can learn from this one.
The fact that Ashley is playing Ellie’s mom and gets to give birth to Ellie a second time is legit amazing
Troy could have been an incredible Joel in the HBO adaptation.
Same story told 2 different ways and instead of gameplay we get deeper dives into characters, I love it
I still believe that Joel is Troy Baker’s best role. I am happy to see both him and Ashley Johnson in the show.
Do you know who he and Ashley will be playing in the coming episodes?
@@aaandSCENE James and Anna.
@@WatcherXel OH DAMN!! 👏
@@WatcherXel The fact that Ashley brought Ellie to life through her acting and now she's literally bringing her to life as her mother is so poetic, perfection. 🤌🏻

Don't forget Booker DeWitt, he is an icon in video games voice acting
Gotta love these extras. They're the M&M's on the icing of the cake (without the fungus). I keep looking for more in RUclips.
Play it safe. Just eat the icing, leave the cake well alone!
@@joelmiller8110 tttoo late my ffingrrs are shakingg
One of my favourite easter eggs so far was the cairn Joel built in episode 3, a reference to the cairns you knock over in Uncharted 4
I'm... not sure that's a reference to that. But hey, to each their own!
Ye.... no. Cairns are not just a thing in Uncharted 4.
i love listening to Troy Baker. I really wish he had a more mainstream platform.
"Warner Bros." or "HBO" Troy Baker has been my Troy favorite so far.
Let's all gather around and take a deep breath before going into tonight's Sam and Henry episode tonight. We're not ready.
Yea nah I wasn't ready, but I enjoyed every second of it
I certainly wasn't ready. I've completed the game several times and this show just doesn't stop surprising me
Every time I see Troy speak I completely forget he’s Joel, cos he’s so different, then I remember and I go “WHAT THE ACTUAL F***’?” He’s such an incredible actor.
0:14 holy cow that was the question I asked him on the instagram questionnaire. It’s worded the exact same way too
The entirety of ep 4 & 5 was a serious experience ❤
i love troy and his work so much. im really glad he loved bill and frank's episode, definitely one of the best episodes.
Excited to see the rest of the episodes.
I’m so glad neil and Craig made Justice to this beautiful game and it’s characters
The only problem with the episode airing tonight is I’ll have to wait longer for episode 6:(
Just got done watching White Totus a nice and relaxed comedy, Now we are dark and emotional with The Last of Us. Love the variety.
Thank you so much for visiting us in Western Australia back in 2018 Mr Baker. I've just completed the new Last of Us part 1 PS5 remake and I'm glad your voices were recycled back into it. I hope you get more work you're extremely talented! Will be seeing the show soon!
Yo Troy wearing the same flint and tinder jacket as Pedro.
Really hope troy comes out to a comic con around jersey. Been wanting to meet him for a while now.
In his breakout year which was 2013 he played Joel, The Joker and Booker de Witt. 🐐
Man did such a great job in the video game that he looks like an animated character in real life now.
Wow, I honestly wish I noticed that the first time around. I'm glad that there are always easter eggs like that to all of Naughty Dog's games throughout each of them between Sam's lighter, the strange relic and in TLOU2 when you find Nate's ring in the bank.
I never realized he also played Sam in Uncharted 🖤😭 omg
LOVING the show (have played both games)
You're gonna be there on episode 6 and 7 for the Next Two weeks as one of those villains, Troy.
I was expecting an expansion on Ish so I was a little sad the show gave even less there than the game, but at least seeing the environment was a surreal treat.
I love the games.. so much... and I love the show too. They are doing brilliantly adapting it. Just brilliant.
Such a good show, watched episode 3 four times already. Every time with someone else, just bawling eyes out in the end. Truly a show to remember. ♥️
The show needs to adapt part 2 faithfully.
Can't wait for Troy Baker Answers The Last of Us Part 2 Questions Part 2
Episode 5 tonight y’all
Game day!!!
Uncharted movie: *Nolan North as cameo*
TLOU TV show: *Troy Baker as James David's gang member, Ashley Johnson as Anna Ellie's mother, Jeffrey Pierce as Perry.*
I havent seen uncharted yet, is north really in that?
@@d8l835 yes, it’s a small scene of him sitting at the beach talking to Tom’s version of Nate, having witty banter.

Smartest game ever, writers better not get cocky here they're with the big boys.
We’ll see Troy in the show in 2 weeks! Apparently he’ll be the Leutenant of David’s Crew.
Best show❤
Wow the host is so well-spoken, should be VA and play a video game character 🙂
Damn I love him!
4:15 that got me emotional
Ashley Johnson next please ❤
Hey Troy, do the rest of your podcasts in Joel's voice. It will be the coolest thing to have Joel conducting the interviews.
Lol
The GOAT
Oh shoot, I need to listen to the podcast
I scrolled past and thought it was Keanu Reeves for a second
Love Pedro But Troy Is My Joel and can't wait to see his role in David's Gang.
Even on waffles when they get old? Because I love waffles.
Hm, interesting, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, I will look forward to see what you think of the rest of the Show.
Putting it out there now that I love Troy Baker's work. Going on the record now because I'm pretty sure when his new character arrives, I'll hate him.
3:45 Imagine being spared from the zombie apocalypse…because you are allergic to glutton
Thats the Real Joel.
The show is just as great😎
This guy has an amazing voice, he should try doing some voice acting
Troy looks kind of like Keanu Reeves in this video. Am I insane
He looks like Benedict Cumberbatch 🤔
Yes he does but I also know I need glasses. I saw a drawing of Snape and thought it was KR.
You're not insane, you're simp
It added to the mean fullness of the world and story. 😢
I loved this version of bill sm the game version I loved him as well 😅
Welp! Since Tommy's voice actor got a REALLY horrific death scene this episode... Expect Troy to have one too.
Getting slash by ellie when the cannibals intend to chop her
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx Actually he stated in an interview that if they ever made a Last of Us adaptation he wants to be killed by the actor playing Joel.
@@calebgriffy4585 i want to see this joel version fighting david on next few episodes

Since they changed some stuff I hope they fix part 2 and don't kill joe for shock value only like they did in the games
i did not realized that Bill from the game is also gay, there is a hint when elie took a certain magazine from Bills stash
Lokoo Troy Baker 🤑🔝🀄
Keep feeding me HBO ... kind regards everyone 😆
is he wearing the green version of joels jacket?
In the game they had a bad relationship and they hated each other. I wanted to see that happen. Hate that they killed Bill off. So dumb.
He has the same eyes as Benedict Cumberbatch
Do the podcast with video
Anyone else think he's going to be the doctor at the end?
What colour are the doctor's scrubs in the last episode of season one?
Sure, except for S8
I have a question.
Who knew Troy Baker looked lome young Keanu?
As much as I like the episode I wish we got to see Ron Swanson shoot down some clickers
Troy's internal voice reacting to episode 3: Too much gay, dial it down please...:))
Troy, I don't want to be that guy, but the strawberries were nowhere near the start lol.
Ayyy, Troy's favorite characters are Bill and Frank ❤
I have no choice but to stan 😌💅
HBO are setting up a PRIME EXAMPLE of how to make and promote a masterpiece live action adapatation of a masterpiece game
imagine not picking Ellie as your favourite character
"Don't get attached to anybody, it'll just get you killed." Technically Bill getting attached to Frank got him killed. He probably would still be alive otherwise. Yea, yea, "it's not the amount of breathes you take but the moments that take our breathe away." I get it.
