TLoU seems like a weird hill too build this argument on because Ashley absolutely could not play live action Elle. She's great but, Elle is a teenager, Ashley was in her late 30s.
also, they worked directly with the original creator, gave troy baker a meaty side role, and were passionate fans of the games - the show was very faithful to them. bizarre example. especially implying that pedro pascal isn’t a good actor and didn’t nail it.
Which she said was one of the most fulfilling in her career. Getting to literally be the character who have birth to this character she's treasured and cared for for over a decade.
I got reminded of a tangent somewhere in this chain, but not entirely sure which comment to put it on, but I do find it funny that in the Legend of Vox Machina season 4 they put in a joke that refers back to an infamous line from the Last of Us season 2, where Ashley's character makes a comment about how she would be a great dad
That and I am pretty sure the writers of TLoU were directly involved in the show. The reasons of the failure of TLoU Season 2 are elsewhere. Something went wrong with the direction and in other key areas not to mention that adapting Part2 to another medium was always going to be challenging thing Its a story that is so directly linked to the player's actions that it was always going to be a hard thing to make work on screen and that is not even getting into the gratuitous extreme violence of it. The story of TLoU 1 is actually an extremely simple one and lends itself to adaptation with minimal changes the same can not be said about Part2.
Sur but at least have them on the cast as chorégraphie/coaches.
When someone did motion cap for a chara ter , they set up how this character is behavinv and you have to mimic it. And yeah, it also means how body moves/ how the character walkd ect... Especially when motion actors have spent their life in trying to create a personnality out of gesture.
Having none of them on the set is making it lacking the soul it needs to be a good adaptation.
I like Judge, but him bringing TLoU into seems like a misstep. The first Season was wildly popular outside of the core fan base. Season 2 feel of pretty hard in popularity though.
It's a nonsense example because they did exactly what he's asking lol. Several writers for the game, including the head writer, were involved. The original cast were involved just not in their original roles, except in Season 2 we DID get an original actor reprising their role in the show.
It did almost exactly everything he is asking for, it just recasted Joel and didn't have a women in her 30s play a teenage girl.
