Him showing up to sing "Somewhere Out There" with Abed to the mouse in S1 should be in here for sure. One of the first indicators of Troy and Abed's epic bromance
If anything I wished they explored the Troy Annie relationship more. I’m happy with them as friends and don’t mind them not including much romance. But I was kinda disappointed at how quickly and anticlimacticly that whole plot line fizzled out.
I had this huge crush on Troy when I first watched Community and I always expected to find someone as adorable as him, which I thought was impossible since Troy's basically a puppy and few people have that kind of pure heart nowadays. I'm glad my bf is just as sweet, I got really lucky.
He was captured by pirates. If you watch season 5, episode 6 (the one after Troy left), at the end of the episode, Professor Hickey is at his house watching TV. If you pause it, you'll see a lower third crawl on his TV that reads, *"LaVar Burton and non-celebrity friend were captured by pirates."* I'd seen that episode at least 10 times and never noticed it until I had to pause to go do something else. When I came back, that's when I saw it and cracked up.
This is going to sound hella cheesy, but this compilation helped me in a way. I always thought to be a hero you had to do something super daring or badass. But this kind of showed that being a hero can be as simple as standing up for your friends, yourself, or just having plain integrity. Good video! Def helped me realize the true hero is within me, no matter how small the challenge.
its about thinking about everyone elses needs , its about SERVING, giving support, sacrificing, being grateful, on the down side, these people can be greatly abused and manipulated, because theyre just like childs even when they 60, therefore emotional and intelectual maturity are BOTH needed, to sail tru life, just helping those worthy, and discarding the rotten ones
Community died the day Troy left the show. Don't get me wrong. The rest of season 5 is amazing and season 6 is a great spin off with half of the cast plus some great additions, but Troy really did bring something to the table and boy was he missed
The line “never change, or do I can’t tell you what to do” I really think is one of his most genuine lines and I love it so much because of all the different things you can try and think of why he said it
this is the most beautiful thing. idk if ppl remember but there was a campaign to have donald glover play the next spiderman before andrew garfield got it and the vitriolic reaction of certain fans at the idea of a black spiderman was deeply impactful on donald. there's an interview of him commenting on it. karma comes around tho. I heard through the grapevine that Miles Morales' design was based on Donald and that's the best spiderman movie ever made.
I hope things work out for him in the MCU eventually. He'd be perfect for the role as Miles. And no, I'm not just saying that because he's black, but he's good at acting in the position of the protag. You could argue he was the protagonist of Community.
i love how abed impacted troy's character development aaaa:") like in the beginning he's the stereotypical dumb jock, but then we see how he's actually kind of a geek and likes dress up and shit like it's so amazing he's feeling more comfortable to be a weirdo🥰
i love troy so much i always get so happy when he comes on screen bc i know he's gonna say/do something amazing. donald glover was also like the perfect guy for this show cuz he's the perfect troy barnes and is one of the best actors on this show - he knows exactly how to deliver his lines, the tone, facial expression, rhythm, everything. and he's extremely hot
wow when peirce's attorney was telling Troy about having the heart of hero you can see an old man walking in the back of the frame that resembles Pierce but it's hard to tell
Until this video, I had not realised how much Troy grows between his two goodbyes, but by putting it side by side, you can really tell on e is just plain sad, and the other is very bittersweet, and actually kinda hopeful, as Troy and the rest of the group have now matured emotionally
Lol oh wow yeah I keep thinking that Zombie episode was just a one off wacky episode but then I remember that was a legit thing and Troy actually saved everyone at greendale maybe even the world.
Is it dumb that Troy inspired me? when I heard Pierce's last messege to Troy, I just learned you dont have to be a hero to have the heart of one. To be brave, passionate and selfless
Holy shit, that double-good-bye montage brought tears to my eyes. He was one hell of a hero when the time called for it, I just never saw it before. Thanks for showing this side of Troy. Great video. Peace.
I think it's really depressing Troy's arc ended with being captured by pirates, with no closure on whether or not he made it out. Dude deserved so much better than that.
I mean Season 1 (which I'm pretty sure this is from) is from like 2009 and the first Avengers was 2012. Sure he was in stuff before that, but his biggest stuff was romcoms that it would make sense that Troy hadn't seen yet
"No. Take him to the police. He MURDERED someone. Take him to jail. You guys are weird." Troys best line. Also that hug with Abed at the end didnt get any easier to watch, did it? Jesus! I knew there was a reason i avoided certain scenes. My emotions! My emotions!!
Show wasn't the same when Troy left. This ensemble was so strong you needed all of them to make it work to maximum effect. They all made each other better.
11:30 that episode made me realise that Pearce is a hero too because he wasn't there at the meeting where they agreed to give the money to Greendale and yet he did
I really love the way you edited this, instead of just doing it in chronological order there's the rising action stuff at the front, and it follows the story beats all the way to the epic conclusions/goodbyes. I'm on season 5 of community and I miss troy 😢
You guys know the whole thing with Miles Morales and Donald Glover, how he was heavily considered to be Miles for a live action one, or even voice acting in the animated one, and then in Tom hollands first Spider-Man he played Aaron Davis which is Miles’ uncle, but basically because he was involved in all of that they based a lot of Miles’ character off of Troy Barnes, and watching this it’s so easy to see how similar the two are especially because I’ve rewatched into the spiderverse about a hundred times, and I’ve rewatched community 3 times
Wait. What? Troy is one of the most popular, beloved characters, arguably more than Abed. And, his general intelligence didn't waver much at all either. Right in the pilot episode, Jeff asked the group, "what separates humans from other species?", Troy answered, "feet"
Lol what, if anything Troy had the best character arc. He literally started as a dumb jock and left as multitalented well fleshed out individual with the best emotional intelligence in the show.
I loved every moment of this video. Thank you!! Let's hope that when we get *#AndAMovie* that Troy is okay. He and LaVar Burton were captured by pirates on the next episode after he left. 😁🙏🏽🚢
Out of everyone, Troy is easily the least toxic/manipulative character
yes
Abed has to be a close second though.

He was never dumb, just a little naive and open to wonders.

They were actually good together in several episodes but the love story happened in the gas leak year so it flopped. Could've worked.

@@morganlively5768 They handled it like MEN
6:33 The way Troy is genuinley desperate to help Abed even though he knows the floor isn't actually lava is so sweet
He knows that’s what abed is actually seeing
Troy is the best character. This show is already great on it own but Donald Glover put it on his shoulders and made it that much better
He was definitely the best actor, and that’s saying a lot cause there are great actors on this show. Alison Brie is a relatively close second
Community died the day Troy left the show. Don't get me wrong. The rest of season 5 is amazing and season 6 is a great spin off with half of the cast plus some great additions, but Troy really did bring something to the table and boy was he missed
this compilation legitimately made me want to cry, he is such a sweetie
Ikr he is such an amazing character
Why do I feel like troy actually pulls off the pantsuit.
Because he does
he really does that color looks amazing on him and the suit is cool asfffff
Fighting the urge the cry is real. I love this show almost as much as Troy and Abed love each other.
Why fight it?
There's a timeline out there, where Donald Glover was actually cast as Spiderman.
The best timeline then
:(

I only just realised that watching this video
The line “never change, or do I can’t tell you what to do” I really think is one of his most genuine lines and I love it so much because of all the different things you can try and think of why he said it
“i had a dream it would end this way” got me real emotional for a second

oh man him as spiderman would have been cool. cool cool cool.
He also briefly appears as Uncle Aaron in Spider-Man Homecoming
there’s also a scene in into the spiderverse where the scene where troy is wearing the spider-man pajamas and waking up is played in the background

@@longbeing OH wait he was Uncle Aaron?? Well that lowers the chances of him playing Miles.

Yeah, it sucks that Chevy would make racist remarks towards Donald off camera. Props to Donald for making their character dynamic work despite it all.
@@Aurormata18 Is that proven? Or is that just the story about him saying the n-word ironically because of his discontent with his character’s writing?

18 minutes of Troy Barnes being the Truest Repairman. The repairman that repairs man.

Troy's the heart of the show. He really bring out the best in everyone, even Pierce.
The four years of Annie line always gets me
I think this compilation proves Troy is the heart of the show
The 7 dislikes are from the Evil Study Group
"Some guy named Mark Ruffalo"

"You fix not only air conditioners, but the man who fix them." this line goes way too hard
I love how you titles this. I genuinely feel like the heart and soul of the show left when he did
Not me sobbing for the last 3 minutes of this video at 9 am in my office.....
"No. Take him to the police. He MURDERED someone. Take him to jail.
