Man they nailed those descriptions of what their characters would be doing if the outbreak hadn't happened. Shows a real understanding of their characters. Super excited for Sunday!
But Joel was a contractor? We know what he was doing as a grown adult pre-outbreak.
@@AbacusAxolotyl cause he needed to support Sarah, who knows what can happen to suburban midlife crisis joel
Love both of them but hope they changed the second season from the game
They gotta show Joel’s love for coffee and a six-string at some point in this series. Joel’s a simple man, at heart
Joel weres Joel I haven't seen him yet
The coffee comes in episode 4 :) saw it in the trailer lol
@@O6i Yes, saw that too! Even Ellie saying it tastes like burnt shit, like she did in Part 2. Glad they’re establishing this early. I’m surprised they haven’t covered Ellie’s fascination for comics (maybe that’s coming)
Ya got it
@@michaelj.f.4602They did that too!!!
Neil would indeed be pleased that Pedro didn't call them Zombies. In a panel years ago, he corrected a fan that called the infected for zombies.
If nothing else that just makes Druckmann look pedantic.
The Infected are zombies, it's just the game thinks that you take them more seriously if they're called something else.
@Telos 1807 I can see why you would think that since they act the same way. But a zombie is a walking corpse. Or someone who has DIED and revived back through reanimation. The infected in TLOU are Humans affected by fugus alternating their brain and driving them insane. That's why a zombie can "survive" and crawl with half a body since it's already a corpse, while an infected with half a body would die instantly since they're basically just humans driven mad.
@@nangstalgic4423 about the half body part dont we have "infected" that crawl with half a body IN-game?
@@nangstalgic4423 TECHNICALLY yeah. It’s just that the infected serve the exact same purpose as zombies in every form, technicalities aside.
@@Telos1807 the infected ain’t zombies, the infected are still alive, feeling everything but they lost the ability to control their functions, because the cordyceps is a fungi parasite that takes control of the host but the host doesn’t die, not until the cordyceps is ready to become spores, and then it dies, and the cordyceps becomes like a plant that emits spores in a constant manner. Do some research before calling someone pedantic
Joel tells Ellie in the game that he wanted to be a singer growing up, so Pedro's answer here was pretty accurate
Joel would totally have a ‘Pearl Jam’ cover band if the apocalypse never happened 😂.
Literally perfect casting. Cannot wait for sunday!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"perfect casting" stop your propaganda you woke creep
Jake Agreed
@@juancarlosalonso5664 lol normies funny makes me laugh all the time 😂
The guy playing Joel isn't intimidating in the slightest and the girl looks like Tom Holland in a wig 🤣
I love these two. They are going to make the greatness of the game come to life
Lol

"Maybe he would be a grandfather" that hurts way too much
According to The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann, who also co-directed the original game, Ramsey wasn't the only Game of Thrones veteran considered for the Ellie role. Druckmann recently confirmed that he met with Maisie Williams back when The Last of Us was still being developed as a feature film. He also said that Booksmart's Kaitlyn Dever was in the frame at one point, too, and even took part in a table read. Both Williams and Dever ultimately aged out of the role, though, and Mazin and Druckmann hired Ramsey after being impressed by her audition tape. "It was like Ellie realized in live action. It didn't feel like watching an actor," Druckmann said.
Hopefully if they do a season 2 and adapt the second game, they’ll cast Kaitlyn Dever to play an older version of Ellie! I think she’d be a great fit for that time period and her and Bella share similar facial features as well
@@DawnsHuntress that's a great idea ✨
@@DawnsHuntress why would they recast ellie? Bella is 19 .
@@thebyrdcage8619 oh I didn’t know she was already 19
@@thebyrdcage8619 I honestly just find Kaitlyn Dever a lot more pleasing to look at ngl. Looks more like Ellie from the games to me aswell.
That first ep had me hooked. The casting is perfect.
only 2 episodes and im so in love with the show :P
Love them so much ❤️
I really cannot wait and getting hyped to watch this Most Anticipated and Must-watch live-action video-game adaptation Television series, The Last of Us. 💯💯👍👍👍👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
I cant wait for episode 2 episode 1 was so goooood it take scenes straight outta of the game and its nice because now i dont have to play it and i can just watch it
whatever anyone thinks of the series it's an absorbing game full of unexpected twists first time through.
This show has grown exponential huge baby
Gooooood casting❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah in my opinion and experience on both games I think Bella and Pedro should play these games as well because they would fully understand what is happening in ahead of time but it would have a spoiler alert for them so I would think that they would be more able to expect what is to come about in the show
The Lady of Bear Island, and the Red Viper of Dorne!
She sucked as lyanna
I honestly hope it is a bit different than the game in some aspects. I’ve played the games so many times it would be refreshing to see something unexpected.
It is, i watched it yesterday
Don't worry no one looks like they look and they removed all violent deaths from the show and no one played the games on the cast
@@theblueexorcist8731 They all look similar to the game's characters.
The show is still violent. TLOU, especially part 1 isn't about violence.
Plenty of people from the cast are gamers and have played the games. This isn't the 70's anymore. Being a gamer isn't special. Also - actors not interacting with the source material when making an adaptation is standard procedure.
@M couldn't have said it better myself. Guess my only addition would be the violence being toned down will make the importance scenes that involve violence Sarah and David for example. Will be all the more impactful
@@theblueexorcist8731 don’t really care how anyone looks. Just want a good show. If I want to see the video game characters I’ll play the game.
Aww it just hit me why Ellie was so excited seeing the crashed plane
Everybody asking the same questions
Pedro Pascal sounds like Troy Baker's normal voice
I didn't know what Troy Baker looked like and thought he looked like Joel and were casting the VO actor himself!
If there’s no scene of Ellie on a pallet and Joel getting a ladder to elevate his companions, the show gets a 0/10
MY GOD how many times are people going to ask them the same questions? They're so patient answering the question "have you played the game?"...jeez.
İsabella Sermon would be perfect cast. She reminded me Ellie so much in Jurassic World Dominion.
Ngl the hard-core fans need to hate this before it's even out makes me more excited to see this because they'll hate it for not being a 1 to 1 remake of the game
1:04 this little scene LOL. After the first episode, I warmed up to Ramsey's casting pretty quickly. I know, I KNOW, she'll play a great Ellie, I just have to pretend that she didn't look like a stabby snarky little squirrel and more like Ramsey. Because the Ellie I knew had this... spark? In her eyes? And Ramsey's eyes are more like vacant and lost? Still an excellent rendition but hey, we gamers love Ellie and Joel, so what can we do but compare?
Very well said, my sentiments exactly. Like, there were definitely better more accurate looking picks out there. But I mean, there is nothing we can do about that so might as well enjoy it for what it is
wasn't Ellie modeled after Ellen Page (before Elliot if anyone calls me out lol)? and I agree. For the vision they had I knew Pedro was perfect, Bella threw me off but after a hot min I knew she had the GRIT they wanted to see IRL. so far all of it has been excellent
i think thatpedro would survive, he would just grab his sharp lasso and his whip and just kill them and be hot asf
Only plot hole in what Ellie might be doing if the outbreak didn’t happen is that she was born like 8 years into the outbreak so she might possibly not even been born
I like this cast but i think the logan wolverine look from Hugh Jackman would of FIT PERFECT, Hugh Jackman Logan he had the grey beard with the beat up look and the body type too, its perfect
People commenting on this as a Game Adaptation need to realise is was a story first, game second. The two stories are exceptional and if they translate it as well as the games did then its a win. I just hope if they do the second story it is rainy and more moody as that's the whole tone. Like the scene in The Road to Perdition where Tom Hanks character takes down the mob in the rain along with Paul Newman's character. We need that type of scene setting.
So you're an expert in video game lore... Wow! that is so impressive
@@bowieupland6112 Your a bit sad aren't you. Sorry you have to carry such a big chip on your shoulder. Good luck with that.
@Adam F
Nah. What's sad, is a grown incel man who's still so invested in kid's video games.
@@bowieupland6112 Where did the internet hurt you
@@bowieupland6112 Honestly I nearly laughed, nearly. I guess you got too old too quickly and forgot how to have fun. Shame. Still, rather you than me!!
hype
Those two are from Game of Thrones 😯👉
They raised the price on hbo I don't blame the Sony makes the best games into movies slash series
I really wish if they had playid the game at least
“What would your characters being doing if there was no outbreak?” What kind of question is that ??? We know what their life’s were like before in the game.
Good luck and don’t fuck it up
Already did
ok rupaul!
@@theblueexorcist8731 naw your actually trippin hardcore
She wasnt a perfect cast due to age, its likely they consider the time jump she'll be 20-21 when that happens and I wonder who will they casy as Abby I dont know any actor that is buff like an ox as the game described her. because if they follow the game maybe 4-5 episodes Joel and Ellie wont be in it.
It's Kaitlyn Dever btw
Lots of "fans" in the comments who clearly haven't played the game and are jumping on the "I know the lore" bandwagon. Y'all must be fun at parties 🎉🎉🎉
Hahah you’re such a gatekeeper. At least they’re invited to parties 😆💀
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy😊. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days•❤️
They helped me recover what I lost trying to trade myself
This has to be the most obvious scam attempt I’ve seen.
HOLY FUCK!!!😱😂🤣
I don't GAF.
@Andrew He actually helped me setup my brothers college tuition this year. My brother was always timid with the market but Gary showed him the secret in his pants. With a quick jerk of his pen, Gary thrust his ink all over my brother in the hottub and thus explained investing. Now my brother is rich and has syphilis. Thanks, Gary Tan! Ill recommend you to everyone
The weird thing is if the character of Ellie is a girl with an American accent then why not cast a girl with an American accent? How many actresses would have died for this role so why cast Bella who has a thick accent! Same goes for The Walking Dead how many of those characters all had accents so they had to learn to speak like an American so why not just cast..... Forget it I hope everyone got my point. God Bless.
Their actors. Accents are kind of what they do
WHO the hell did the Casting for Ellie?!
I know right, I want to hug them and thank them profusely.
(Seriously don’t you think your nasty whining is getting old?)

change my mind after watching first ep which was a masterpiece
I'm excited to be in absolute despair for the next foreseeable Sundays 🥲
to be fair pedro pascal nailed joel but i cant say the same for bellas role . she doesnt even look like ellie .
