[Represent.]

Fuck yes

 

[DForce]

Amazing.

Looks like Ashley Johnson is going to play Ellie's mother?

Yes

 

[Bartski]

thanks I hate it

Ginger David??????????????

and Baker as his sidekick the cannibal cook guy it seems.

 

[ChiefDada]

Yep, I'm hyped for it.

 

[Chiggs]

Looking good. Not a fan of the Ellie casting but I can live with it...maybe.

 

[Flabagast]

I guess braindead and uneducated people only able to like what advertising and big suits tells them to like will be happy.

For the rest of us, eeeeh, easy pass.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

looks absolutely terrible.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

This is genius.

 

[Bragr]

Looks like they are following the game's story more closely than I expected.

Looks cool, apart from Ellie. You can just tell that's gonna be an issue.

 

[Business]

Amazing, it manages to look high and low budget at the same time.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'm giving Bella Ramsey a chance. From what I've seen so far I think she'll sell the character just fine.

 

[Emedan]

Pascal is a good casting, that Ellie though.. jeez.

 

[Arun1910]

The only thing I was worried about was if Bella could get Ellies mannerisms right. From this trailer, I have faith, even down to vocal delivery which is like Ashley's.

This actually looked really good, now I'm hyped.

No show based on a game will ever be 1:1 but this adaption looks very VERY close to the game from what we have seen.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Looks great. Scene of Ellie mimicking the clicker is perfect. Great use of Take On Me.

Can't see this being a disappointment. Day 1!

 

[remember_spinal]

Looks incredible. Gonna be a battle of the titans between this and mario for best adaptations next year

 

[lughnasadh123]

Looks really good. Can't wait for people being mad at it's success again.

 

[SLB1904]

Fucking hell this looks absolutely bonkers. That bloater at the end. Jesus christ

 

[SLB1904]

I guess braindead and uneducated people only able to like what advertising and big suits tells them to like will be happy.

For the rest of us, eeeeh, easy pass.

Oh fuck off

 

[Denton]

I don't quite get why I should watch this when I already experienced better version of this story. Sorry Pedro and Bella but you ain't Joel and Ellie.

And seeing actual Joel relegated to some henchman of David is just sad.

Production values look good though. If the games didn't exist, I would likely be more interested.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Damn this looks superb

 

[balls of snow]

I think I saw David in the trailer. Are they doing the entire tlou part 1 in season 1.

 

[mortal]

lol I do hate rearranged cover music in trailers, especially with bombastic percussion. Very played out and obnoxious imo.

 

[ZehDon]

I guess braindead and uneducated people only able to like what advertising and big suits tells them to like will be happy.

For the rest of us, eeeeh, easy pass.

A little too accurate...

 

[Elder Legend]

That is not Ellie. That's a 7 year old child....whoever was responsible for casting would be fired on the spot if I was the one calling the final shots.

 

[DenchDeckard]

this is absolutely incredible.

"Taaaaake onnnnn meeeee!"

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Where's all the infected?

 

[Yoboman]

Casting is on point from the acting

And Pedro really looks the part too

 

[DeadOblivion78]

this is absolutely incredible.

"Taaaaake onnnnn meeeee!"

It's a reference to pt.2 where Ellie sings a cover of "Take on Me".




Of course, if you didn't play pt.2 you wouldn't pick up on that.

The show producers finally corrected the one big flaw the game had which was debated by players ad naseum upon release .

Sarah is now black instead of white.

Thank god they updated the show for a modern audience.

 

[ANDS]

This is going to cause THE KILLING and GOT's levels of cope among new fans of the show I'm sure. Still haven't finished TLOU2, but I can't remember a SINGLE positive story beat in the first one, including the ending. It also looks like Henry and Sam are in this season which. . .hooboy.

. . .because that's critical to the story at all. Also funny you point THAT out, but just zoom right past the casting of Joel. Priorities I suppose.

 

[semiconscious]

my sympathy goes out to all those whose only experience of last of us will be this series...

 

[remember_spinal]

That is not Ellie. That's a 7 year old child....whoever was responsible for casting would be fired on the spot if I was the one calling the final shots.

The actress is already older than ellie was in part 2 lol

 

[Aenima]

Looking great. While Ellie dosent look visually as acurate as Joel does, her acting is on point and pretty much sounds like her. While the story i guess will be pretty much the same as we seen in the games, i liked that in the trailer they also added a gameplay reference where u need to put on a plank to cross the buildings.

 

[Husky]

Wow... that's a really bad Ellie

 

[Elder Legend]

The actress is already older than ellie was in part 2 lol

I am well aware how old she is. That doesn't change the fact she doesn't fit and looks like a child for her age with her baby ass face.

 

[DenchDeckard]

It's a reference to pt.2 where Ellie sings a cover of "Take on Me".




Of course, if you didn't play pt.2 you wouldn't pick up on that.

I did play it. It's still the terrible slowed down remix.

This looks terrible bad but also OK at points as well.

Will deffo give it a go.

 

[manfestival]

They need to adapt this show into a video game

 

[Ammogeddon]

Great trailer, certainly builds up the hype. Hope it delivers.

 

[Spaceman292]

Looks like they are following the game's story more closely than I expected.

Looks cool, apart from Ellie. You can just tell that's gonna be an issue.

?? She's a teenage girl with brown hair. What's the issue?

 

[ChiefDada]

That is not Ellie. That's a 7 year old child....whoever was responsible for casting would be fired on the spot if I was the one calling the final shots.

Oh come on what is there to complain about here in regards to her portrayal as Ellie? The mock clicker bit was funny and on brand!

 

[Markio128]

Looks awesome - loving the hate btw, keep it up children! Eww, the actress doesn’t look exactly like a video game character - OMG they changed the race of a character. God, I wish I was 5 again

 

[BennyBlanco]

I guess braindead and uneducated people only able to like what advertising and big suits tells them to like will be happy.

For the rest of us, eeeeh, easy pass.

absurd how accurate this is

i'm still gonna watch because HBO doesn't miss. White Lotus is the best show out right now and nobody watches it lol.

 

[BadBurger]

A 1:53, I think that's Troy Baker on the left

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Let’s see….which response to pick?
1). “I gotta a bad feeling about this!”
2). “Could be good..At least it ain’t made by Disney!”
3). “WTF else am I gonna watch in January ?!”

 

[Punished Miku]

The cast honestly looks bad for these roles but the rest looks pretty good. The games have never clicked for me but it might work better as a TV show honestly. I'll check it out.

 

[Hawkeye2890]

How much you want to bet they race swap Abby for a black actress? We probably wont know for 3-4 years before they get to season 3 but I'm calling my shot now.

 

[3liteDragon]

A 1:53, I think that's Troy Baker on the left

Yea, he's part of David's gang.

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

Looks good…. Ellie seems off though…
