#LanceReddick - Ігри
He had an unforgettable voice. Keanue Reeves and David Simon (The Wire) described him as a consummate professional, and it shined through in his work.
May the light provide. My friend
You know damn real you did not watch the wire you look that up 😅😅😅
@Red Star 🅥 as a hunter main, this comment is not it.
@Red Star 🅥 dude, what the fuck? the mans gone, like in real life? and you say that?
@Red Star 🅥 I'm a hunter main and you are an absolute disgrace for saying this.
Rest in peace commander Zavala.
May the light provide.

These last lines felt so much more connected to the character than all the other characters.
It was very emotional and real
How he’s black he isn’t worth while
I feel like they should do a black panther 2 and have Zavala die, I don't like it, but it's better than having a different person play him.
@@sarahferry6516 who knows, maybe if Deep fakes get even better, we could still have his voice as zavala. You never know right.
The world of Destiny will never be the same again. Great at his work and even more so was a great person. Rest in peace. You will be missed.
it wasn't the same without cade. now we lost another vanguard guardian. but, there's aways memories and our ghosts as company in the future.
Not only is Zavala one of the forefront NPC's, but Lance Redick owned that role like a BOSS for a decade, and where we go from here is an extremely difficult task to pull off. THIS is the most crucial task that Bungie has ever had to figure out and it needs to be done right AND in a way that HONORS the man himself, Lance Reddick. He loved this role and community.
I think they should write in an story for the next season about Zavala's Ghost being destroyed and then Zavala being seriously injured. His injuries could cripple him and prevent him from continuing the fight and one injury could cause the loss of his ability to speak. His inability to speak, crippling injuries, and loss of his ghost would force him to step down from leading the vanguard. Bungie could then move Zavala's character model near the monument of Cayde6 with the function that players could hug him or shake his hand. This would allow the character to still exist in some capacity.
As for who could replace him just have the player's character model become the new leader. I mean the player character has been speaking for a few years now unlike before where they were a mute. Maybe in time after the pain of losing Lance Riddick doesn't cut so deep anymore Bungie could create an in lore reason for healing Zavala. In doing so it doesn't completely heal his vocal chords and thus gives an in lore reason as to why he sounds differently because of a different voice actor.
It wouldn't be the first time Bungie replaced a well known actor in this franchise...Peter Dinklage comes to mind albeit that was for vastly different circumstances.
@@_gungrave_6802 good thing you dont work for bungie
@@jacobyeager3625 I mean anyone can work for bungie, just look at the story of Lightfall.
@@_gungrave_6802 I think they should only hire a replacement long enough to give Zavala an honorable resolution to his second life (ideally sacrificing himself to defend others), and then let the character find peace in death (and an afterlife if you believe in one) with his wife and son. I think that would be the best way to honor the character that Lance Reddick brought to life.
His character arc is pretty well resolved after Season of the Haunted, and while they could come up with more developments for the character with a new voice actor, I'd much rather see them close the curtain on him and leave him firmly as a part of Lance Reddick's legacy.
A sequence where we see the future with a older zavala who tells us that from the moment we arrived he knew we wouldn't rest until our mission was complete PEACE then he would say those special words farewell guardian and we would snap out of it only to be greeted by zavala who tells us we have work to do
This guy helped create my childhood since D1. I’ll miss you Commander.
Same here, bro. Never forget the Commander.
He will always be a legend to us in our hearts and remind us to be strong and stalwart like the commander
He was he was part of my childhood when he was on the show Fringe
Fr bro 😢
We’ll all miss him.
Rest in peace to a legend we never thought we would loose especially at the age of 60
Just remember legends never die, they protect us from the evil we can’t see ♥️
Even if they find someone with a similar voice, it's just not gonna be the same. Rest in peace Lance
I honestly hope they find some way to kill zavala off or make him less prevalent in the story.
If he got a new VA it would just feel fake.
@@xbox4528 yeah that’s what I was thinking. They should find a way to kill off Zavala and bring back cayde. Replace Lance would be super disrespectful.
I know this shouldn’t be one of the biggest thoughts on my mind right now, but I’m honestly really curious what their future plans for Zavala are. I don’t see them replacing the VA (that to me just seems disrespectful to Lance) and unless they already planned on it, I don’t see them killing Zavala off. Whatever happens I hope they treat Lance Reddick and Zavala with respect.
I feel Bungie will make sure to do right by him.
tbh the way i see it is this:
1) kill him off - logically makes the most sense to retire commander Zavala and also to respect the role of Lance Reddick. Maybe we can have an interim VA to like send Zavala off in-game (sort of how Cayde was voiced by Nolan North instead of Nathan Fillion for Forsaken which is still better than killing off Sagira off-screen because bungo either didn't get or wanna pay for Morena Baccarin). However, there might not be as much of a "shock value" in terms of players buying an expansion because their favourite character in-game is gonna die (i.e. Forsaken). I could be wrong about this because given the situation right now, people might actually buy an expansion as a way to pay respect to Lance Reddick and send off Zavala in-game.
2) replace with a new VA. might be a bit disrespectful given how Zavala was voiced by Lance Reddick since D1 Vanilla + also always reading out some player's texts "as Zavala" so idk about this. Wouldn't mind if they just use an interim VA to send off as stated in 1)
3) (somehow) manages to replicate his voice using AI sampling. this i feel is a bit more disrespectful than 2) ? idk i am kinda on the fence regarding this issue cuz i highly doubt AI can capture the soul of his voice as well as the demeanour of Commander Zavala.
again, this is just my view please don't attack me. But If I did say something wrong feel free to correct.
In my eyes if they do kill off Zavala they have to give Zavala a proper send off
@@qibcentricsplayground2043 AI sampling is very good nowadays, so they probably could pull that off
Kill him off in a heroic fashion and have Mara reveal that she knew him before he became a guardian and that she tried to talk him out of leaving the distributary, along with many other awoken, to help the survivors on earth "But he just had to be heroic cause that's who he was. That's the last time I saw Zavala, or, as he went by back then... Lance"
Say what you want about Destiny, but you have to admit that the voice actors are some of the best things of the whole game, and Lance, without him there wouldn't be a Commander Zavala, that scene on WQ where he slams his fist into the table was amazing, thank you Lance, you brought us one of the best characters we've ever seen. "Guardians never die, but we never forget those who do"
Lance really sold the emotional distress and feeling of betrayal the Awoken Commander felt hearing the actions of the Traveler. After all, Zavala was one of the most hopeful believers in the Traveler. I felt more empathy for him after witnessing the events of Season of the Haunted. For many New Lights, and Destiny Veterans, Zavala was a guiding light of what Guardians hoped to become: an inspiration to many and a friend to anyone to offer an open hand.
Lance Reddick: You need a new desk.
Points if you get the reference. Rest in peace Lance Reddick.
Lets not forget that he made a meme a reality! Man had good humor ❤
@@losthelice1591 Those damn scumbags!!
Farewell commander. Thanks for all memories. Since D1 that voice has been so iconic. As a guardian we got it from here but as a fan, Lance, we'll miss you.
"The traveler........gone". It doesn't seem sad at all knowing the human loss of Mr. Reddick outshines it greatly. R.I.P. Mr. Reddick, the greatest voice over for any character we've ever heard!
Losing zavala captures the feeling off the darkness begining to consume all far more than anything bungie has written thus far, Reddick has been THAT impactful to the destiny community
It shows how a truly emotional and impactful performance can entirely shift the perception of the story. Lance Reddick’s performance was lightning in a bottle, and was extremely hard to capture. He will be very missed, but never forgotten.
Well, light and dark is literally life and death.
@@iCore7Gaming Not quite. In fact, with Lightfall, Light and Dark are no different than a screwdriver and a power drill. They do the same thing, but one is more dangerous and requires less skill to use. The other requires more skill and hard work. But achieve the same results.
@@liljon042 🤓
Rest in peace commander. May the light provide. Your destiny lies beyond this system.
Rest well Commander Reddick. You were such a force of Light that the Witness had to break free of the game's reality and neutralize you in ever paracausal way. You will be missed, but you will NOT be forgotten by the Guardians you've guided for the last decade.
As much as we want this to be his final lines as Zavala, there’s a good chance he had stuff pre-recorded for future seasonal content.
That said, I’m gonna miss him like you wouldn’t believe. One of the last good characters in this franchise, such an iconic voice that I never got tired of hearing.
I'm just worried that when they run out of his lines, what are they going to do? I mean, yeah, could just recast him, but I feel like he's too well established, that they have to find someone who fits Zavala, not someone who puts their own thing into it.
I would want as little change as possible. If the next voice actor tries to put his own style , even just a little bit, it's going to ruin it for me. It won't be Zavala.
I'd rather they just kill off the character, if the next voice actor doesn't do a (at least near) perfect Zavala.
Nowadays' tech they can easily synthesize his voice!
@@Etrius_Fysik Chances are they'll kill Zavala off.
Maybe Ikora will finally become a useful member of the vanguard or maybe Sloane will return in a future season and be promoted from Zavala's deputy to Titan Vanguard.
@@siegfriedvaz That would be extremely disrespectful to him. If anything it'd be best to recast Zavala for a few lines before giving him a good death.
@@Etrius_Fysik lucky10p had a guy do videos that sounded like him. I think he could be a possible replacement.
"Whether we wanted it or not..."
This was such an infamous line for me when playing Destiny and I'll always remember it. RIP
A true guardian through and through. Out of all the voice actors we've had, Lance was the one that brought the most emotion to the character. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the great memories. May you find the light throughout your journey onto the next life.
If we do not meet again… know how proud i am of what you have done. - Commander Zavala RIP Lance Riddick
“What we have built is only the beginning, a symbol of what we can achieve.” - RIP Lance, guardians around the world look up in sadness today, dark days indeed.
Rest In Power Commander. Guide us during hard times
BEST VOICE ACTOR OF THE DESTINY FRANCHISE BTW ;)
As the day comes to an end, it still feels unreal to lose someone so talented, enthusiastic, and impactful.
Rest in power, Lance Reddick. Your voice shall continue to inspire and motivate existing and new coming Guardians within the Destiny community.
We'll make you proud commander. Rest now, you earned it.
This death hit me deep. Lance was a huge part in Destiny. And was an amazing actor. I think everyone will deeply miss him
He had big ball energy like no one else. RIP Lance Reddick man was a legend.
Fighting alongside commander Zavala was the best thing to happen to any guardian may you rest in peace in the light
Rest easy, commander. You’ll be missed by the wonderful community of destiny. You were and still are so greatly loved by many, rest in peace and you’ll forever be missed.
R.I.P amazing man - I've played since D1 and this is such a heartbreaking loss. Thank you for the countless hours of gaming fun you provided for us all, we will never let your memory die Commander ❤
It is thanks to Zavala that the city is a place where people are able to live without fear of the darkness but you can rest now commander Zavala the Guardians and I will do the best for the city and we will always remember that your name and leadership will never be forgotten and no matter what happens your light will always be on the sky of the city
@LocalPrime8 yo your the cringe one paying no respect to our fallen commander now how bout you cringe your way next to caydes head statue and shut up
@@localprime8868 death is coming for you
Rest in peace commander we’ll always remember you fondly
Rest easy, Lance. And thank you for bringing me the gift of an incredible story to follow for nearly the past decade. An incredible actor, and an even better man. RIP.
I will never forget his prelude
“What makes a guardian,a guardian”
In life, he led us all through revelations not only about ourselves... but to those around us. In death, he will inspire more and cherish the memories of this life he lived, with a whole community stretching from "The Wire" all the way to Destiny honoring his accomplishments. Rest in peace to a true legend... and a damn good friend.
Rest easy now, Lance. Let us fight on for you.
Thank you, Commander Zavala. You were a part of a game that quite literally saved saved my life. You were and still are a character character that I look up to. You were there in my darkest times when no one else was. Always noble and inspiring me to be my best. Rest in power and peace. Old friend. You are too good for this world.
Lance made Commander Zavala feel like such a strong, dependable figure for us all. He was the first Guardian we all met when we were just a new light and we know he was so proud of everything we’d done.
So thanks Commander. We’ll hold the line for you. You can rest now…
Rest in peace Commander. We'll watch the wall for you.
Rest in PEACE Commander we will fight for you
God, damn this hits hard.
"What consumes me, is the human loss." I nearly lost it, and I'm almost 35. Shit.
He was playing D2 the night before he died... RIP Commander
Rest easy Commander. I’ll continue to kick ass and take titles.
They most likely have all his lines for the next season already recorded so fortunately we will get a bit more of him in the future.
I cannot believe this. You were an incredible voice actor! Thank you for being with us all this time and your dedication to Destiny. You will missed and remembered, rest in peace, Commander Zavala.
I seriously can't believe this. He's one of my favorite voices. Been playing destiny as a titan main since day 1 d1 and man it truly feels like losing a friend.
Eyes up guardian. May our commander rest easy.
This touched me ❤..even played this weekend Sir in your honor..thank you for being part of a game and community that years ago allowed me to play games with my sons everyday ..while I was in CA & they VA. Your talent and soul will be missed ✊🏾🙏🏽👏🏽💯
Commander holding the wall and lookin after guardians since 2014, weve got our eyes up now commander to watch your star rise higher now.
Rest in peace commander
We will fight on until we have nothing left to fight with, and we will go down fighting even then.
Your watch has ended Commander, you may rest now
"Now I look up and see the hope we've built for ourselves."
Thank you so much for sharing. He will never be forgotten.
To the Titans...as a Warlock I will stand by your side no matter what. You all focus on becoming the greatest Titans Lance has ever curated. My condolences to the commander. May he rest in peace.

Goodbye commander zavala, i shall protect the city in you and caydes name
Commander Zavala, always there no matter what happened. A heroic commander, trusted advisor, fearless Guardian and most of all, dear friend. May the Light guide you.
It’s been an absolute honour fighting at your side Commander, you can rest now in the light. I promise we won’t let you down.
Rest In Light Commander Lance 🙏🏼
Bungie has said they're currently working on season 23 right now, so it's entirely possible they have lines for Zavala recorded for the next two seasons.
God dammit, I love his character and growth so much. But, Lance is with Rick May, and that makes me smile a bit.
Thank you Lance for being a huge part of all our lives for the better part of a decade. RIP
Rest in peace, you are the reason why I choose to be a titan. Thank you for being a part of my life.
We've gotta win Guardian Games for him, Brother/Sister in Light. We *have to.*
@angelousmortis8041 I agree Brother, we need to win this guardian games for our commander
@@SpartanB134 I'm going to be sweating my ass off this Guardian Games to make sure it happens.
I can't help but hope they have more lines already recorded by him and ready to be used, so we get more from him, for as long as we can.
For 10 years that man has been my Commander. He was my first Vanguard. Things wont be the same without him.
Thank you for all the time we spent together over the years. Me and my father bonded over destiny and you will always be an unforgettable part of it.
NO WAY!😱😥😢😔 I refuse to believe this, I just can’t. Thank you for everything lance, you will be eternally missed. RIP ❤️
Long live commander zavala, you will forever be missed💜
Rest in peace. I've grown with his voice in my head and my games since i was 12, now in college.
It was an honour and a privilege to stand at your side, Commander.
Goodbye.
Rest in peace indeed, He had such a brilliant voice, he was also half way through a series known as the legend of vox machina where he played a very crucial villain and it was amazing to hear, I don't think it'll be easy to fill the shoes of Lance, but I have faith they will give his role a spectacular way to continue it, thank you Lance Riddick for being a solid human being o7, rest easy up there...
Rest in Peace Commander, you trained us all well and gave us the best advice out there, we will win this war in your name and crush the Witness under our boots. The Pyramids will collapse, and the Traveler will come back Stronger. Hail the Commander!
CRINGE
@@localprime8868 don't even
HAIL.
*Raises Well*
@@alexwalker3229 I did, what are you gonna do besides cry about it? Can’t handle an honest and rightfully said take it’s obvious.
@@localprime8868 Touch grass dude. For your own good.
Thank you for doing this, “may the light provide”
Rest well commander, your guidance has taught me a great many things and with all you taught me I will honor your memory. From now to when we meet again in the light. May the traveler bless you always.
So sad to lose such a good man 💔
He was and is a legend
always and forever 💙
It was clear Lance loved the Destiny community and it sure loved him back.
Rest in peace, Commander. May your inspiring leadership and unyielding demeanor be forever engraved upon the stars.
Rest in peace Commander
Rest in peace 🕊🙏
I never knew him in person, but he was such a big part of my life for almost 10 years now that every time I see Zavala I cry knowing things will never be the same. Rest in peace Lance. Thank you for being my commander.
Thank you for everything my commander, ever since I first bought destiny you showed me what it means to be a titan. I will never forget the hard work you put into being the best titan vanguard ever rest easy We'll handle the rest.
Rest in peace commander Zavala. o7
I got a feeling, maybe a theory
1. They may kill Zavala off
2. They may find a replacement for him
Or
3. Zavala may suffer some form of taint or scarring that can't be healed and leave him mute... Leading to an even more badass titan Vanguard... that may have his ghost translate for him
3 is good
Every character that I've ever seen you play, you approached each one with professionalism and passion. RIP Mr Reddick, you represented Bmore proudly.... Thank you Lt Daniels, Charon, Commander Zavala, and the many others.
Rest in peace…I may have not played much of destiny but my boyfriend have showed me all of these characters and have showed how beautiful the community is 🌹❤️
rest in peace Lance, what will happen now? will bungie replace his voice actor or kill off Zavala? but know this Lance your talent will never be forgotten
If they do decide to kill off Zavala, i hope he can go out like a true Titan in a blaze of glory
@Jack an outing like the one in the dark future would be the best.
Why he passed away? Its bacause age or some sickness?
Natural causes it seems
Apparently it's Natural Causes.
@@localmadlad7714 he was 60 so i wouldnt be too surprised
feels like losing a father. he has guided us from day 1 on destiny, cant imagine destiny without him.
He was the greatest Guardian I ever knew. Not the strongest but a true leader. A leader who made us believe in our cause. A leader who united us all no matter how different we are. A leader who withstood everything that was thrown at him.
After the death of Savathûn, everything we believed in became much more thinner between the light and dark. Yet our commander never gave a second thought. Rather than drowning in the river, he rose from it. Never giving up as his will still blazed with electricity through his veins.
He was a true Guardian… A true Commander… A true friend…
May the light provide as his soul rest in peace. Thank you for everything Lance Reddick…
We shall take it from here. And fight for that hope, that we’ve built for ourselves…
i got to this scene just two nights before he passed away. I was sitting there thinking how great the voice acting cast in the game is. How lucky we are to have Lance Reddick and the others. I'm filled with sadness. 60 is too young for someone so seemingly full of life and still living it.
I feel honoured that we were so fortunate to have such a talented individual be part of something we loved, and were a part of too.
Although we may not have known him personally, we were lucky enough to have been blessed with this man’s talent, and we would have followed him into battle without hesitation, whether it be in the realm of Destiny, or in our reality.
Rest easy Commander, you’ll always be treasured in my memories, and my heart. ❤
“I refuse to bury any more friends.”
Saddening.
I can't even...
His voice for the House of Devils strike and Valuus Taaurc will forever be in my mind, his voice was the path maker for my journey across D1 and D2 as a titan main...
Your Light shines ever brighter.
Luceat Lux Vestra, Per Audacia Ad Astra, Commander Zavala.
God, this hits different after losing Lance.
He genuinely seemed like a great, passionate guy with a special love for his craft & work. And everything I heard about him from those who have met and interacted with him is nothing but praise.
May the light provide, and may he rest in peace.
This sadens me deeply. And im not able to play.
But right now im with my grandmother whom i hadnt met in a while. Made me feel greatfull for what i have.
Lance Reddick you made a mark in life, as a great actor and as charismatic human being.
Condolences to your family. ❤
Eyes up, Guardian. We'll always remember you. Love from your community Lance.
His voice is one of the only voices I enjoyed listening too in my childhood, whenever I was sad and needed an escape commander Zavala always gave me something to do and he always made it seem like it was the best thing to do to protect the people and help others to make yourself feel like you have purpose. I feel in some way he will become the new traveler, protecting all of us and giving us power to move on and heal.
Eyes up, Guardian. We've got this.
Such sad news. Rest in peace Commander, May the light provide.
Find peace commander ..... Lance will be sorely missed in many communities several of which I belong to myself ... thank you for leading us to so many wonderfully amazing worlds with you Voice rest well friend
"We walked to the end of the world and beyond" - Commander Zavala.
You will be missed Lance. There's none out there that can replace you as the titan vanguard. Rip
You were a fantastic commander. The best would be an understatement. You gave us a wonderful commander to enjoy, to cherish, to mourn.
Rest now, Lance. We'll miss you dearly.
Zavala was my favourite, he had a unforgivable voice. He was also our greatest commander through the times I had with him
RIP Lance Reddick
