Been a fan of his ever since I watched The Shield, which is one of the most criminally underrated shows of all time. His entire character arc is second only to the lead's, but is one of the biggest reasons why that show couldn't be made today despite being more relevant than when it was made.

Last of Us cast were asked to be completely clueless about the game and it worked like a charm

[@daggerfalls101]

@@youngnat I've heard good things about that show, and I think it was moreso that the show runners wanted to let the actors explore their own personification of the characters based on the materials and direction rather than try to create a carbon copy of a video game character. As well written as the last of us is, there's certain things that simply wouldn't translate well to a show or movie, since there is no active player in these mediums but instead a passive audience. Compare this to the Halo series, where both the actors and show runners intentionally avoided learning anything about the games or the larger setting. It led to versions of these iconic characters that are nothing like their video game counterparts, ex: the Keyes, Master Chief, the Arbiter, Cortana, Halsey. It all comes down to the competency of the show runners to balance what's good for bringing the setting to a show format, and staying true to the setting as a whole.

[@youngnat]

@@daggerfalls101The last of us show runners included the head director for Last Of Us games, no one knows more than that guy and even he didn’t want the actors to know crap. I’m saying this because I think this video is rather pointless and is neither a good nor bad sign for the show. Especially since fallout doesn’t have characters to adapt for TV, just the setting and the storytelling. The most worrying thing is that they don’t have to give fans what they want for it to be a good fallout TV show.

[@mcslink89]

Question (3:49), “Is Wasteland in the Fallout universe?“ I‘m pretty sure the question is referring to game Wasteland rather than the wasteland which is referred to in the Fallout universe.
