So now that the board is back what did we think of it?

so now that the board is back what did we think of it?

Episode seems to be well-received in general. Non-game-players seem to like it, so I'm happy for them.
To be honest though, most of its changes feel like strict downgrades from the game. Especially the changes to overall structure (we know Abby's motives upfront now, dance scene including "I don't need your fucking help" moved to ep1, etc) just seem like mistakes and make me want to replay the game instead.
I'm still gonna watch the rest of the episodes and might change my mind especially if they capture Seattle really well.

Heh….chopped of us

I replayed the game during downtime and I unironically liked it more than the first time. Haven't seen the show, but from what little I've noticed, the cinematography is a complete downgrade compared to the game. Both games have very moody lighting and the tv show has a very flat look for whatever reason.

this show is literally gay

terrible time waster with her stupid speech that lays out her entire motives to a guy she's about to kill. like who fucking cares? also his hands were free so he could have grabbed her and probably kill her on the spot. at least in the game he was grabbed by two men as she swung at him. Also the final blow was weak, Ellie's scream was muffled because the potato-looking freak can't act for shit. Also also Abby was supposed to be 19 in the flashback and is now 24? she looks the fucking same, they don't even care about these little things.

wtf is this creature

Fuck forgot the pic

it's amazing how much better Ashley Johnson is at line reading than this freak. That's what you get when you hire a bong to pretend to be a burger.

I dropped the show on the very first episode. Bella's accent was incredibly distracting.

For non-gamers who hadn't played it. Which appears to be about 50% of the audience, there were a lot of social media reactions from people who didn't know Joel was gonna die

Also I disagree with calling it a movie game. Part 2 has a mode called No Return which distills it down to pure combat encounters and it's a lot of fun, I've sunk dozens of hours into it

the infected look dumb as shit this season. last season they looked dumb as well but now they're literally just look like normal people with some stuff on their head. also clickers look too clean to be scary.

I must have her!

It's just a retelling of the game's story except with shittier direction, cinematography, writing, casting (except Moner), and shitty, boring filler scenes.

she was in talks to play Ellie when Raimi was gonna direct the film

What a world

Abby is not a tranny and the game never showed full penetration of her. No idea if the show will have an equivalent sex scene

I saw the scene without audio throughthe autoplay thumbnail of a youtube short.
Looks like shit, Abby looks weepy instead of rageful, and stabbing with a broken golf club is a sily looking change

Did the tv series adapt that dlc from part 1 of the game where Ellie has a cute, black gf?

yes, can you guess what the episode was called?

Yes there's a whole episode dedicated to it in the first season and the black girl wasn't cute

Yes, it had an episode devoted to that.

Yeah it was adapted after Joel gets fucked up in season 1.

I was surprised when I heard they killed him already. Maybe it's just Anon Babble being down but it didn't seem to make much splash.

the production design as a whole looks pretty cheap from what i've seen and not worthy of a prestige show, i mean fucking walking dead had better post-apoc immersion
she looks very hot here

they made joel's murder way less brutal in the show

gotta love gamers defending part 2, not only a movie game but a reviled story in general, because old good new bad

wanted to give the show a shot

find out there's no Joel, Ellie and Bill kino

Fuck this gay earth
youtube.com/watch?v=J39iJJOYH94

I don't really get what caused the attack on jackson. so these things that grew inside the pipes are connected to all the infected and draw them to them? does that mean the earth itself is also infected and no one is really safe?

also how the hell are there SO MANY infected right next to the town? the town exists for at least 6 years they have people going on patrols i assume daily, they have watch towers in different locations, and it's not always snowy there, so where did these fuckers come from??

i'm just gonna copy my post from the other thread

">universally hated
in your Anon Babble bubble. It was obvious right away that most of the hate, almost all of it was manufactured and they didn't even hide it. It's been like 5 years and you still have tons of people using the same talking points that were created based on leaks and don't make sense if you actually played the game, like the scene in the cabin and le revealing their names. This game became a battleground in a culture war and if something like that happens, you will have an army of incels hating it mindlessly because they think that by doing that they are fighting (((them))). If you look at places where culture war is limited then the opinion about Last of us 2 is drastically different than what you see in the comment section under Critical Drinker video or on 4channel. In places where people actually played the game and the number of culture war chuds is small (but still existing). Polish site Filmweb, i am posting about it once again, it's a site primary for movies and shows but it's also a game rating site. Last of us part 2 has 8,7/10 with 10k ratings filmweb.pl/videogame/The Last of Us Part II-2020-775468
and would've been a little more if it had zero chuds. 10k ratings is a very big sample

to compare, first game on that same site has a rating of 9.1 which is pretty similar. You literally can't argue with that. It's manufactured outrage, nothing more."

Abby swinging right into Joel's skull as the sound becomes a ringing noise was a really good moment in the game. I don't know why they made it some lame stabbing.
youtu.be/yCOE5IUnOKY?si=GONthDarXmipgXsA&t=433

the entire show feels like how gore would be like if it was done by a committee. Still bloody and still violent but clean enough to get a pg13 rating.

alright to be fair, I didnt play the game. I tried playing 1 but I thought it was boring. I dont think cinematography and writing should be the primary talking points of a video game. im enjoying the show tho

jabłko kurwaaaaa

terrible time waster with her stupid speech that lays out her entire motives to a guy she's about to kill. like who fucking cares?

You don't understand basic storytelling at all. This board is still just as stupid and pessimistic as ever.

I enjoyed the episode and this season so far. I don't mind Bella as a grown Ellie, though I do wish she was maybe two years older for the role.

The only downsides is having her continuously punch Joel instead of utilizing the golf club. I know it broke during the beating and she used it to stab him, but at the same time, there was a whole bag of golf clubs. I also would have liked to see her more angry to be frank.

I know this season tailors to revenge, but if you know Joel killed your father, and you get revenge on him in front of the person who swears revenge on you and you just walk out and leave her... I wasn't understanding that part.

So far it was better than the game, honestly.

That's what you get when you hire a bong to pretend to be a burger.

The average bong actor runs circles around the average mutt actor.

Ashley Johnson is at line reading

Huh?

I want an Abby/Owen sex meme edit based on this shot from Brave New World. Surprised I haven't seen one yet

I'll be surprised if anyone even mentions it on the next episode.

The lost about half of their fighting men

bitch looks like frogan in the thumbnail

some posts still don't appear so i'm gonna write it once again. Jackson Battle was 10/10, felt like the best eps o GoT but the cabin scene was just okay. It was better done in the game. Dever a cute tho

It's basically the end of the Dothraki

Fighting men that they probably won't need because the story leaves Jackson on the next episode and never returns to there except in flashbacks.

original story has character explicitly refuse to give a speech in a moment of characterization for both Joel and Abby

tv version for 30+ year old women has same character explicitly lay out her motivations in a speech

Yes, I think episode 2 of the first season established that the infected are all connected by underground tendrils which allow them to act like a coordinated hivemind.
This was not in the games, but it helps explain some things like how the bloater appears to breach the wall to let the others in, not just for itself

Anyone else accept Joel’s death way easier now that Abby is hot? That was the main issue I had with the game, her character design, and while I still think season 2 will be a generic revenge bad story it’s going to be no where near as bad as the game because I can now view Abby as an actual person and sympathize with her

Bella Ramsey isn't a bad actress, she just shouldn't have been cast as Ellie.

can't wait for THAT SCENE in the boat with this Abby.

at least they got her tit size right

Different mediums. Try again. inb4

Um it's not EXACTLY shot for shot like the game

Don't be a fucking retard.

eh, 7/10 at best.

Game Abby may have given a similar speech after she started clubbing him, but it cut away and we didn't see it. She didn't explicitly refuse anything

now that Abby is hot?

Always was

what a load of shit, i played both and the dlc, loved the first game and even left behind, hated part 2. it was a unbelievably bad story, and very little of what made it bad had to do with trannies or homos, though that certainly didn't help. just proved neil on his own is a bad writer. not the end of the world but spoils the first game for me a little desu

The game's message isn't "revenge bad" it's about perspective. Depending on your perspective Ellie's and Abby's actions are both fully justified.
Ellie lets up and ends the cycle of violence because she realizes it won't make it her feel better and make her PTSD go away, but she still wouldn't necessarily have been wrong to go all the way and finish the drowning

Looks like one of those face swap apps with Ellie’s face on Joel’s body instead of a real person

They should have gone full dark and not had Ellie regain humanity. Feels like a cop out after being so ballsy the whole game

It will be very interesting to see if viewership survives this. Mrs Potato Head does not instill confidence for viewer retention and shouldering the series as the lead.

no it's a lazy and contrived idea from the start and even though they made abby hot it won't make up for ellie being ugly as sin. and yes ellie is canonically hot idaf that she's young

why did she forget how to golf?

They only let her live for sequel bait, it was kinda dishonest and cliche

What's interesting is that Abby got her revenge at the beginning of the story and things didn't get any better for her, if anything things turned to shit the second they left Jackson. Same thing happened to Ellie and Tommy

Wait, they already did it? I thought they would wait another season. Now wtf are they gonna go? Now even the normies will hate the show.

That's why video game storytelling is such shit.

are you seriously gonna pretend part2 hate had nothing to do with Anon Babblecel fueled culture war?

you just walk out and leave her... I wasn't understanding that part

One of many things the game did better. We see this scene twice, first with nothing but a closeup of Ellie with a tinnitus sound after the killing blow. We don't really know why they let her live.
Then again, much later, this time with a closeup of Abby while the rest of the team argue about whether to kill Ellie and Tommy. Owen as adamantly against it, a theme that'll come up again later. Abby makes the final call to leave them and, combined with the look on her face, gives the first sign that she might regret it or at least that it might not have given her what she hoped it would.

The TV version presumably has no plans to revisit this scene because they've instead clumsily squeezed that argument (plus Owen and Mel looking uncomfortable upfront) into this scene.

the end makes more sense if she had killed abby desu really shit all around

Would a cure even help the world that much. getting infected doesnt seem to be a big issue in the world anymore. The issue is all the millions/billions of people that have already changed. I dont think we have ever even seen a human change in this show besides that bitch who blew herself up in season 1.

event that starts the story

I thought they would wait another season.

are you for real?

no it did, doesn't invalidate that a lot of people, myself included, hated it on merit and not the culture war

Joel had a horse

Dina had a horse

Jessie had a horse

Ellie had a horse

at the end scene they ride back on 2 horses

where the fuck are the other 2 horsies?

Better ending I just came up with. Ellie leaves Dina to get revenge and kills Abby but she doesn’t feel fulfilled and it’s pathetic and anticlimactic and she comes back to find Dina and the baby killed by bandits, Ellie wasn’t there to protect them because she chose to go after abby. Part 3 is about Ellie living as a depressed hermit loner wanderer in the woods who gets caught up in another group of survivors troubles and she sacrifices herself for them to redeem herself

getting infected doesnt seem to be a big issue in the world anymore.

eugene would live, deaf black kid and his brother would live, ellie's black gf would live, bill's partner would live, tens of people that got bitten during jackson battle would live

I honestly hope it succeeds. We need Drunkman to really believe he is hot shit and do the jump to full time TV writer/ producer before crashing that ship with no survivors. Not that ND can be saved at this point either though.

lot of people

i just proved it's not a lot. You're in a small minority

some people don't have media literacy. Joel dies within the first hour of the game, people really thought they'd squeeze a full season of television out of an hour? I mean it would have been one thing if they did a season to fill the 5 year void but they clearly are going to just adapt the 2nd game as is with some minor differences.

are you sure? most people i know don't like it. i live in new york, not really a tranny hating location or people. ratings can be gassed, but i also don't really care desu. i simply didn't enjoy it, if others liked it it doesn't affect me at all

I’m not a last of us hater but objectively a ton of people hated it. It’s intentionally divisive and having half the people hate it was the point. You should admit that because it’s a feature not a bug, and denying that just makes you seem like a little ball licker

I mean it would have been one thing if they did a season to fill the 5 year void

where's the story in that?

i thought Bill's partner died of aids or some shit in the show.

What are you even trying to say?
You don't know if those people would have lived? A cure takes time to develop and distribute around the country. And they would most likely focus on areas with a strong military presence already.

They still have fairs and dances and food courts and gyms and radio networks and comfy towns and movies and schools and shit, they’re doing just fine without a cure. Last of us isn’t a true apocalyptic scenario, it’s a baby first feel good dystopia adventure type setting as opposed to something more grounded like the road

i'm talking about the game

You don't know if those people would have lived?

i didn't mean literally them because some of them died before joel and ellie got to the hospital (duh) but you know what i mean. There's still tons of people who get bitten but it's not lethal per se and they would all live with a vaccine

Im saying even if they create something can can make you immune to future infections, Billions of people are already infected and the world is already fucked up. I guess it might help in centuries if they eventually die off naturally. but who knows if fungus monsters die over time, The cities are still full of them from decades ago and they dont seem to be any weaker.

i'm talking about the game

but the anon you responded to talked about the show.

my canon ending is Ellie walking up to the beach, seeing Mulan and Abby hung on the cross, and then walking back (to Dina).

sry, anyway, you know what i meant

Buddy, people live in walled cities to keep safe from the infected. The world is just bunker towns. With a cure there would be more travel and trade, which means faster redevelopment.

but objectively a ton of people hated it.

among those who played it? It's often hard to find someone

The backlash was all just "MUH JOELERINO" because most players were in their early teens when they played the first game and never thought critically about his actions

this desu

Show bad. bad direction, bad acting, bad writing, bad cinematography.

The world of part 2 feels like the potential idea of rebuilding humanity that COULD have been if they got a cure from Ellie. Instead the world is already fine and Joel’s sacrifice feels pointless now

Why did they kill my Joel

It's shit

jackson is fine, the rest of the world is fucked. Scars and WLF wiped themselves off for no reason because the world is so fucked

Joel could have grabbed Abby and snapped her neck, his arms were free and she was very close to him.

Buddy, people live in walled cities to keep safe from the infected. The world is just bunker towns

Yeah how is a cure going to help with that? Suddenly everyone is immune like Ellie but the world is still completely overran by millions infected. Do you think the cure was supposed to turn the fungus people back into normal people? Their bodies are already way too fucked up.

bigot sandwiches line excised

weed cut to a bare minimum, no lesbians goofing off scene

abby finds out joel's name from dina being stupid rather than joel just giving it

abby is an actual female

feels like this season is keeping the game plot to the bare minimum along with making the most out of what they were stuck with from the first

abby finds out joel's name from dina being stupid rather than joel just giving it

abby in the game found out about joel's name from Tommy

if they had just kept her normal-sized like in the flashback and teaser trailer everything would've been better

I hope they don't cuck out on Abby's sex scene getting railed doggy style now that they cast a hot actress

that scene is like 3 years from now, no need to think about it for now.

joel just giving it

In the game,

only people present are Joel, Tommy, Abby, and a shitton of zombies

Abby is in shock from nearly dying to the horde

Tommy tries to calm her down. "I'm Tommy, that's Joel. What's your name?"

Abby reacts a bit to that, and an attentive player might catch it

only after that do they agree to follow Abby, for the lack of any better option

once inside the atmosphere gets weird quickly

Joel picks up on it a little faster than Tommy, who introduces himself again

Joel does the same; at this point Abby already knows his name, so he can't really give a different one

It makes sense. The TV version is fine too, but neither is hard to believe.

as if the left didn't also fuel that autism war, get real

So the interstellar bald girl is the one Ellie tortures to death right? That will be pretty fun, hope they actually show it in the tv version. So stupid how Ellie is all broken up about it though, after blowing off the heads of like 100 innocent people just before hand and how she mocked Joel’s death to her face. Ellie should have the same energy “I fucked her up and she died like a bitch idgaf”

kinda bad, but im kinda done with shitting on little confused autistic girls.

dunno. doesn't feel right.
feels like if your favourite tthing you've had for years breaks and you buy a replacement.
it looks identical but it feels wrong

Cuckmann himself said that Joel was in the right. Sorry sweetie, looks like you need media literacy training.

this, normies want the heckin hero to ride off into the sunset on a white horse.
but the episode sucked and the show is bad

she's alright as long as the character is helpless, so basically the first season and this episode, but i'm afraid it's going to be really hard to take the revenge part seriously since the character is basically a killing machine at that point

If she killed Abby then she would have to kill Lev too, which would make her even more of a monster since Lev is a child and showed decency and stopped Abby from killing Dina before.
Otherwise, Ellie would risk a vengeful Lev coming after her in the future.
(the board might approve of killing him because tranny ack but most others would not, he's meant to be sympathetic)

Yeah it's really fucking retarded, she kills like 1000's of people, tortures all her friends and then spares Abby. She was all over this game, really annoying.

She should have killed Abby (considering that's her entire character the entire fucking game) and then let Lev walk away, having him keep the chain of revenge alive for sequel bait.

never have i ever gone through so much withdrawal as watchihng the episode and NEEDING to see Anon Babble and Anon Babble's reaction of it. the fact that the show finally covered pro golf and th entirety of Anon Babble was kill at the same time is nothing short of historic and a tragedy

Never played the game (but I'm aware). It was touching when Ellie was crying for Joel. No interest in the show anymore though.

just sacrifice your daughter for the greater good goy

How many masks did you wear?

people are shitting on the zombie invasion battle scene but i enjoyed it. finally a scene about fucking zombies again. and yes ive played the games just saying.

She could totally leave lev to his fate and just not do anything. Lev wasn’t awake and wouldn’t know what happened. He’s got a boat. He’s free from the pole. Just have the same after credits to show that lev made it to the fireflies somehow on his own.

Same
On reddit there are only two types of discussion, the one where they hate the show but can't point out because it's woke af and super fucking retarded, and the blind morons normies who just praise it endlessly.

It was an anti-chud psyop, taking down the chan while it was premiering.

Literal potato disguised as a person

never played the game and never going to watch this stuff

Kinda retarded when Tommy just walking through the zombie horde, or the black lady doing the same. But other than that it was alright.

how the fuck is it that far away?

Kinda retarded when Tommy just walking through the zombie horde, or the black lady doing the same.

yea that was dumb ill admit

If lev was an actual boy and Abby looked like her show version their relationship would actually be kinda cute. Lots of shota potential

putting the guys on the floor with flamethrowers was retarded, they should have been on the roofs or on the trucks. It was just to dunk on the bigot guy again.

weed cut to a bare minimum

i hate weed but i love cocaine. what gives?

making tv is hard work nowadays, anon. they need time to breath

If Lev met any of the other prisoners that Ellie set free right before walking out onto the beach, then he could easily have deduced what happened.
They all knew a woman with brown hair who had been bitten was looking for an Abby

I looked tougher than this kid by eighth grade.

LE MASK GOY GOY

Case in point

It's just Ellie and Tommy goes on a rampage and then Ellie cucks out, it dosen't need to be dragged out into a third season

it doesn't have to, but it will

Abby and her group willingly leaving Ellie and Dina alive will never not be retarded.

If they stretch out the Part 2 material into 3 seasons it's because they don't have a third game's story to work with, and might not have one for close to another decade.
I don't think they're actually doing that, though. Having Abby kill Joel on the second episode, so the revenge quest is kicked off by the third, is exactly what I expected and feels in line with the game's pacing

Maybe lev is just a better person than Ellie and Abby and chooses not to get revenge and moves on right off the bat. That would make a poignant ending scene and drive home how lost Ellie and Abby were, how pointless their bloody quests for revenge are and also make lev really likable. Not everyone becomes a sadistic revenge revenant when wronged but Ellie definitely should have been one through to the end to keep her character consistent. And then lev is like the good version of Ellie who chooses to live her life and not throw it away or whatever

hurr durr joel gave his name

that take originated with the leaks and can't die for some reason despite being debunked by the game

people are shitting on the zombie invasion battle scene

literally where? This ep has 9,5 on imdb

same

I haven't seen it

opinion discarded.

Abby killing Joel is wrong though because it won’t make her happy or bring her father back and all it will do is continue the cycle of violence. Regardless of what Joel did to her, If she kill Joel then her humanity forever gone

I liked it but didn't think it was integrated very well Maybe the next episode will prove me wrong but it seemed like just a way to give Tommy the spotlight for a bit and justify his actor having 3rd billing, and not really affect anything else

every time I saw the bald woman I kept thinking about cuckmans new product placement game, really diminished any tension the scene may have had.

despite druckman constantly claiming otherwise, they didn't actually intend for half the people who played the game to hate it, so they're making a bunch of changes to make abby more sympathetic in the show, i expect they'll remove the weird subplot where she fucks her pregnant friend's husband as well

he did? i'm surprised cuckmann would feel that way

Damn that’s deep as fuck? Abbybros we just got raped…

The zombie attack on the town was incredibly forced and unironically "game-y" and it ironically was made completely for the show. Why the fuck are the zombies going after the town? 0 explanation to that. 0 explanation to how hundreds of zombies somehow got stuck in snow and how they decided to finally climb out when abby just happens to tumble down a hill on top of them.

Absolutely retarded and it's hard to take this seriously when you have such a cheesy obviously non-sensical scene

despite druckman constantly claiming otherwise

where?

because you're a fucking Anon Babblecel retard who thinks joel died in part 2 because druckmann hates white men. It's five years and you're still fucking retarded about this game

Masochists like druckmann see the suffering and humiliation of a character as respecting them. They have the saint Sebastian syndrome. Like jauquin phoenix and joker 2, he thought the more pain and hardship he brought on Arthur fleck the more he was honoring the character. Misery porn fetishists

Why the fuck are the zombies going after the town? 0 explanation to that.

speedwatching is real lmao

in your Anon Babble bubble.

The official reddit sub had to get split off cause too many people were shitting on it. lol

where?

found the nu-male

Hair really is everything

Was the game death this lackluster? I never played them
or did I just expect more because of glenns death in TWD and this was the whole point

This game is just one big fetish game. If you like the same fetishes as the creator you will like it, if you don’t you will find it disgusting. But you don’t see shit fetishists calling you wierd for not liking shit, they just accept it’s not for everyone and move on. It’s bizzare how defensive people get about the game

changes to make abby more sympathetic in the show

I thought they would do this, but I don't think they actually are. They could have changed the killing Joel scene and the methods involved, but no, it still involves a golf club and even more of the torture is shown than before.
And having Dina get drugged to sleep and threatening to kill her is darker and more messed up than just having Tommy get pistol whipped

what kind of people? The same who whine about rachel zegler or spam fake quote from tolkien under rings of power trailer

So the "pol bubble" extends to literally everyone you disagree with? Not much of a bubble then.

death in the game is actually super intense and charged. In the show it was kinda slow

the fungi roots in the pipe called them

to literally everyone you disagree with?

where did i say that? I was actually very specific

The same who whine about rachel zegler or spam fake quote from tolkien under rings of power trailer

you're gonna play a retard and pretend you don't know what i mean?

just watch the game version on youtube

I mean you play as Joel in the first game, so obviously you get more attached to him as a character than you do to Pedro Pascal (lol) in the show.

There are a million reasons to not like the game. It’s basically written to be hated and unsatisfying. The people who love it have a weird Stockholm syndrome situation where they are forcing themselves to like it against their will for whatever reason. “I like it because it’s so shitty and unfulfilling”. Like ok? Why can’t I hate it for those reasons

you're a fucking retard

So the Anon Babble bubble extends to every site on earth where people disagree with you. How is it a Anon Babble bubble then?

from ugly man looking thing to ugly woman looking thing, not much of a difference.

so you are playing a retard

The time-skip at the end of part 2 where she fights Abby will be incredibly terrible and soulless in the tv show.

How substantive of you.

meds

Maybe you should understand the words you're using first.

Queen

This shits gay and actress looks like shit, absolute fucking quasimodo tier physiognomy, that out of the way, Jannies are subhuman niggers and I feel bad to call them janitors as janitors actually get paid to clean my shit whilst these trooned out government workers and upwork jeets get paid precisely $0.00. Also RapeApe lied to you janny not one nigger miscreant on earth missed you or valued your "work", get fucked.

Does this mean there won't be any more shocking scenes and will ellie murder her or wait for S3

I feel like they wanted to avoid GoT comparisons by having Pedro's skull bashed open again

Looks matter a lot

So the show is going tobe Ellie centered from now on?
t. dont know the story, didnt play the games

i expect they'll remove the weird subplot where she fucks her pregnant friend's husband as well

I hope not, the sex scene with this actress would be hot as fuck

i'm reminding you of Moner/Dever kino Rosaline

this 6/10 girl must be so psyched she's playing opposite a literal gargoyle so she looks like a 9/10 in comparison

she looked kinda cute here ngl

neutered and shit compared to the game (just like the rest of the show), i mean the beaner doesn't even spit on joel

also the bitch is just a horrible actress, how she landed this role i will never understand

yes but at the same time i can't unsee Tom Holland in her face. Bong genes are strong

I thought it was great when the asian guy told bella you look like shit, im cool with her ugliness now that moner is in it even if shes walled a bit

If she did she would have been a 1/6

Abby is the one who let her go and broke the cycle then Ellie lmaoed her

I can't be the only one who feels as though the games are both 9/10s and are very very good overall. But the show feels like a 7.5/10, the best moments from the games feel flat in the show.

It's a philosophical question, a moral dilemma, there's no "this guy said X decision is right" answer, nigger.

why is every the last of us thread infested with redditors?

All the casting is terrible. Especially Ellie, Abby and Dina

Watched episode one, but could not continue. Could have been great.

I think it's pretty clear that neither the actors or the directors actually saw the scenes from the game and are working blind with just the skeleton of how the scenes are, and that's a decent way to make it so it's not a carbon copy of the game but it also a gamble because you can't help but compare and the game will usually win just from the privilege of being first.

It was honestly an improvement over the game scene because I couldn't get over how Tommy just didn't see Abby point a gun at Joel despite having a clear view of the entire room and only reacted until AFTER Joel was shot.

The only problem I have is with Abby. The show had her act too sadistic, almost like some cartoon villain, and drag things out too long just to taunt Joel. Also, the show added this weird line where Abby called Joel “handsome”. What the fuck?

Anyway, I prefer Abby's game portrayal despite her issues as well. She was more angry and more quick to to inflict pain on Joel because all the hate she had for him was being released in that moment.

I prefer Abby's game portrayal

She looks outright comical in the game.

I'm talking more about characterization than appearance. Live-Action Abby looks more like how Abby should've looked.

looks like my wife, we train together every day and the sex is unbeatable

*saves jackson*

how big is her penis?

why do people who claim to hate the game still seethe and talk about it so much over it 5 years later

Episode seems to be well-received in general. Non-game-players seem to like it, so I'm happy for them.

kek what?
What alternative reality are you living lol?
Abby is already the most hated character of the last years, her and her gang.

they make her sympathetic in the game, it's just after the fact. the opened the season with her backstory and motivation, no balls

Game did the scene like a 100 times better

h-he was muh dear father y-you shot h-him and walked right p-past him like noth-

Holy shit just SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT

are you jeff bezos?

The whole horde thing is there to justify more why Jackson CAN'T send people to help Ellie to go after Abby and her friends

They sabotaged their show for literally no reason. There is not a single SJW who would not watch the show, but now will because they cast a mongoloid retard as the main character. There is not a few people who do that. There are 0 on the planet.

it was very reddit coded

her clit being enlarged makes it really easy for her to orgasm with piv, i get to just pound away like a methed up gorilla
i really recommend lifting, roids, cardio, stims, viagra and marijuana for sex so good you’ll make god jealous

npc buzzword

This series is made for ther kind

They probably are going to completely cut the sex scene, given that Abby is actually hot now

And?

Yeah I saw that, doesn't excuse everything else. Doesn't explain how they only just now start going after the town.

The show turned one dialogue and a gay magazine joke into a full crust bursting episode. But you think they'll censor the actual straight sex scene? What are you, a fucking conspiracy chud incel?

There is not a single SJW who would not watch the show, but now will

That's not the point. Do you want the schizo rundown?

I liked it, thought it was well done. I felt real rage towards Abi and I think Bella Ramsey can act just fine when she is given good material. I did not play the games and I do not care to, but I do know the major beats of the story.

Will they still have that near birth pregnant woman putting herself in danger like they did in the game for some retarded reason?

It's funny because for season 1 redditors went full SO YOU WANT TO FUCK THE 14 YEAR OLD HUH?????????????? making it socially unacceptable for them to complain but now in season 2 there are lots of actual söy redditors complaining about the mongoloid casting.

seemed kinda gay and low budget. ripoff of the early seasons of walking dead, which were way better

all those redditors complaining are just chuds that use multiple websites
most of this board uses reddit

Feel like it didn't need an explanation, though. The 4 people who go to Seattle all do so because they're personally closely connected to Joel or Ellie, other armed randos in Jackson would not be eager to go and wage war with a militia group of unknown size that's almost a thousand miles away.
It's understood that Tommy, Ellie, Dina, Jesse all go there at their own probably unnecessary risk

in your Anon Babble bubble.

we need a red dead redemption show or movie. now that’s a real game, not this gay stuff

and never thought critically about his actions

Why did they feel the need to retcon the first game with the remaster to make the hospital cult seem less like incompetent evil retards?

Pretty shabby defensive works on that town I must say.

how many of those 30 million are PS4 remasters that were bundled when people bought a PS4 though. when i bought a ps4 i was just given the remaster it came with my console

Can't wait for when they introduce Lev. There will be lots of troon infighting about zer portrayal

roids

Nice knowing you.

Even more underwhelming than what they did in the game. I honestly would've preferred they delayed it and built up some back-and-forth between Joel and Abby as they save each other in dangerous situations until it's revealed that this was the target that Abby would have to kill. This would've added some conflict between her idea of Joel as the killer of her father and the person she met before she knew it was Joel. She would still decide to kill him but there would be more weight to the decision. This one lacks the shock factor in the game since they were trying to soften it and fix some things leading up to the scene.

Even better.

mentions how handsome joel is

That whole scene had a weird sexual vibe, what were you trying to say druckmann?

I say we burn the server down.

it was a well made scene

UH DJOELLLL.... DA DUUUURRRRRR.... UHHHHRRRR. DURRRR....

I'm with you though, i love zombie shit, they just always do it wrong. I wish there was like this huge budgeted Zombie movie where they literally hire thousands of extras and make a real swarm, and not cop out with CGI, or make it low budget and about "the humans are the real evil" shit we have seen. Just a straight forwards survival zombie movie with actual great practical effects.

If they don't include the sex scene it might be because they don't want Abby to be a homewrecker for Owen and the pregnant Mel, they want to avoid some of that relationship drama.
A lot of the "Abby campaign" stuff in the game was already kind of nonsensical filler in the first place and I hope they skip it or replace it with something better

That is so much more interesting and literary so obvious it wouldn't fit in a videogame.

SO YOU WANT TO FUCK THE 14 YEAR OLD HUH??????????????

Yes.
And so did the whole internet when the game was released

So you can think about it for yourself. The funghi in the pipes is calling them, they walked through the mountains, considering they are zombies (but still alive) they make much noise and get caught in an avalanche, the avalanche buries the most of them but only the top layer dies of freezing, and the rest stay under waiting for some signal.

Moner saving the show every scene shes in.

Mouth watering.

It fixes some of the issues I had with the original scene but it's far less shocking and visceral. In the original game, Abby blows Joel's leg off immediately. In the show she gives half her speech before getting to that point.

And as with every scene in the show, the cinematography and visuals are a downgrade. The show doesnt' capture the look of either game very well.

Are you mad? THE ALLIANCE

Putting cuties in shows or movies is an automatic cheat code to make me like them. Caelie Speano did a lot of lifting for that stupid alien movie.

Why is this stool so overengineered? Is it like a special filmmaking stool?

Plus Ashley Johnson was raped and abused by her onions boyfriend

I don't watch the show but in the game it's the worst example of own-fart-huffing ever made, it was done after Druckmann (Jew) took credit for something a much more competent person built, and then this person objected to Jew ruining his work and that's what got him ousted from the project.

How do I put this? Imagine if you're playing GTA and it's a great GTA game and you wait for the sequel and in the sequel you drive around for five minutes and cops arrest you for mowing down pedestrians and the rest of the game you're in a prison. Which a nigger runs.

And then you say hey it's a shit GTA game and get BOMBARDED with algorithm-fuelled nonsense about how you're this and that -ism and how it's actually a genious move and that your bad deeds from the previous GTA game finally caught up with you and then the DLC releases and it's just a minigame where you're making car plates until every bit of property damage + civil suit costs are paid off.

does a zombie apocalypse make everyone gay?

there are so many good games and they chose to make a show out of this piece of shit?

All leftists are fanatic anti-natalists.

Part 1 only let Ellie live for sequel bait, it was kinda dishonest and cliche

yeah no, not at all you fucking retard. Neither Joel nor Ellie dying at the end is the only thing that made TLOU stand out story wise, literally the least cliche ending

You're fucking retarded. Joel murdering the scientists is the whole point. He's a bad guy.

they didn't actually intend for half the people who played the game to hate it,

You didn't play the game. The game has at least three very intentional "make the player want to stop playing" moments.

Let some crazy people kill your kid for no reason and wouldnt of made a vaccine anyway

Joel was actually the good guy though

Imagine wanting a sequel to TLOU1, and worse yet expecting a happy sequel of Ellie and Joel killing zombies hand in hand.

still arguing that people hating the game was le intentional masterstroke by the heckin genius druckman

holy fucking kek

TLOU stand out story wise, literally the least cliche ending

TLOU 1 is literally "here's every cliche from the last 30 years of zombie stories" especially the very cliche ending of "did I do the right thing."

photoshop

Fake Abby fan!

still baffled by the idea of artistic intention

Wait until you read literature and see all the sad miserable shitty endings

For me, it's Eighties Abby

tlou2 fan thinks he's le heckin cultured

my fucking sides

read literature and see all the sad miserable shitty endings

fan

Ah yes I forgot about Anon Babble culture war

For me it's Mad Max Addy

The human eye can only process 24 words per second

jackson battle was utterly baffling as they had no resolution or backup plan if they breached

Par for the course with HBO.

i'm amazed you retards actually watch this shit in the first place

The people stationed on rooftops were the backup plan for that.
What's weird is how they did little or nothing to stop infected from just running upstairs to the roofs

Looking foward to see the theater fight now lel

It didn't even look like they had any sort of barricades prepared on the roofs. They could have at least put up some slats like they did for the basement shelters, or better yet, pre-fortified some strategically placed buildings and holed up there.

Ellie's right ankle

Wonder if they will try to frame it from Abby's perspective, where Ellie is the villain who has to be stopped, or if it will be more neutral/balanced that way

No ditches dug for a massive horde of enemies dug in a straight line
staircases werent collapsed so roofers were safe
dogs werent out of cages already

They literally were going to have four people stand in a line with flamethrowers and what
burn people? Fire is hard to contain. Retarded

No Dina weed scene

Automatically 0/10

I was one of the people who never bought TLOU2 despite loving TLOU and it's not because joel gets golfed. It was the troon character and ellie now being a dyke with a jewish gf.

Abby is cute(vidya version).
