Yeah, this. They weren’t going to kill or write off Zavala (ahead of schedule, at least) so recasting was the only real choice and this sounds perfect

I don't think they were ever gonna do anything like this but credit to Bungie for not doing something ghoulish like using AI, unnecessarily killing him off like Tchalla (although I did kinda like that movie anyway) or like. Casting a white guy. That would've been weird.

Not gonna lie, Keith David is probably going to be a fantastic replacement. He killed it in Saints Row.

This also quietly confirms that they're not killing off Zavala in TFS like a bunch of people thought they were.

This opens up the possibility that Zavala call for help from his friends on the other side (I will always hold that this is easily one of the top three Disney villain songs).

I mean, they can still kill him off in TFS, they're just not gonna do it off-screen / in a way that doesn't need new voice lines.

they explicitly said that Keith will be playing Zavala "In TFS and beyond"... soooo we're not seeing Zavala die any time soon.

saw a bunch of angry posts from Gamers saying they should’ve killed him off, but honestly it seems like Lance loved Zavala and Destiny too much to have wanted that, and Keith David is about the only person I can think of who could come close but still sorta make the role his own without making GBS threads on what came before

Yeah, they 100% should not kill him off. Best case was he recorded most of his lines and it'd get to the finish line and they work around the rest, followed by something really awkward where he just sort of doesn't say a ton, but Keith David's a great fit too.

Yeah seriously. This is why reception has been unanimously positive across the internet. Keith David owns and his voice makes any character larger than life

Yes, I predict Destiny and Mass Effect will end similarly.

It's hard to pretend other internet communities are any worse than SA. Maybe it's just D2 that does terrible things to the brain

One thing I've learned (and hope you can too) is that there's no such thing as saying something 'ironically', because you are still saying it.
