What is that thing?

I hate this disingenuous pretend shit normalfags do. Yea let's all play imagination and act like she doesn't look like a foot and an ass had sex in a potato patch. Pat yourselves on the back and think about what a brave uostanding social justice warrior you are as you wash out her drool guard between takes.

dude isn't she ugly haha

Done beating this dead horse yet?

Potato...

And another thing? You’re, Ugly.

why does she make you seethe so much? yeah she doesn't look like the original but so what? she is charismatic as hell

boil em mash em put em in your show

Pure Cinema.

the only one seething here is (You), “ma’am”

Yea let's all play imagination and act like she doesn't look like a foot and an ass had sex in a potato patch.

Most people just don't care about how she looks, and even if they do, they don't want to say mean things online.

It was a good episode compared to ep1 and most of season 1

this, but unironically
the killing of Joel was handled well, they didn't drag it out like I suspected
the attack of Jackson was great zombie action

potato ass The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shrek lookin' bitch

It hurts to look at and this thing's face and it keeps populating everywhere. Stop... please... I beg you

imagine my shock that people who enjoyed the absolute shit show on TLOU2 like the show.

Damn she UGLY

Kek

imagine my shock that people who enjoyed the absolute shit show on TLOU2 like the show.

Good morning, saar!

Who's ready to watch Bella bust Moner's crust?

Stream here if anyone still gaf idk kino.tube

Did he go too far?

i was really kinda hoping they'd deviate from the source material more on Joel's death. Guess not. I hope they don't try and jerk off how poor and sorry I should feel for Abby, though.

I didn't play the games ever, but no wonder everyone shat on this shit when it came out. What a fucking piece of shit.

Is it true Joel lives in the games but they changed it for the show because Pedro was too expensive?

No he dies early in the second game

Are people still going to watch this series after what they did with Episode 2? I'm just not sure she has the gravitas to carry the show on her own.

It's starting
Im literally shaking

re people still going to watch this series after what they did with Episode 2?

Audiences loved Bella more than Pedro, so yes.

life comes at you fast

I read somewhere that Pedro is apparently in evey single episode.

Yeah, I'm gonna watch it juts because I never played the games, and there's enough good stuff with the actual production that I can deal with it. Bella might be able to carry some of it, she's done a lot better of a job acting this time around than the last one. But I'm not gonna hold out much hope either, but oh well.

you now understand how you made every woman you've ever met feel
this is why you will die alone
have a lovely evening

They were challenging modern conventions.
It's stunt casting. Plain and simple.
She might be an okay actress but she is not a good fit for Ellie at all.

tfw bottom surgery goes wrong

she just looks like an ugly dude wtf lol

Why is Moner dressed like a retard in every scene

Are people still going to watch this series after what they did with Episode 2?

Of course. Moner and Abby are still in it.
Killing Pedro (not Joel) was actually a plus.

My mom just walked in and called her ugly lol

moaner

Dina (no Moner) is the only reason I'm watching this shit

Bigot sandwich guy just had the most based speech in the entire show.

Who /TeamAbby/ here?

I would have said that this applies to Bella but she’s a libtard so never mind

wasn't abby supposed to be ugly and look very masculine in the games?

why'd they cast this qt?

Probably to troll the fans after the backlash for the Ellie casting, since she's been a fan favorite to play Ellie for years.

You can't defeat Dina, abby fag

Man, she’s so hawt

trolling your fangs is tight!

and if you do, they'll predictably say you must look even worse

sick burn guys except I'm not the one in the dumb hb-hoe show

BASED SETH

I'm kekeing everytime they make her use straight hair
It's like, hey look she can be cute

So when is she getting a biopic for Joanna of Castile?

WOKE HOLLYWOOD are champions now of blacks, browns, gays, dykes, trans AND ugly as fuck people.

Where have you been, dude? This has been going on for years now.

The era of beautiful white people starring in movies and TV is long GONE and will never come back.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she looks like a foot and an ass had sex in a potato patch

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What the hell happened to all the snow? Is there a time jump between episode 2 and 3?

He didn't go too far enough.

I though it was implied the moment they tell SHE was in bed for some time
put your phone away zoom zoom

Boring ass episode
Took them 60 minutes to do something the game gets through in 10
Also the seraphites being portrayed as >dindu nuffin instead of the violent psychopaths they are is shitty

That’s just grim mane

Last episode was the best one in the entire series. Season 2 is kino so far.

Nope. Last episode it's not looking good and ..

Holy FUCK if it wasn't for Moner this shit would be unbearable. Bella is garbage

God damn I wish films and TV would stop doing the throwup trope

OMG a deady body I gotta puke! BLEHHGGG

It's so stupid and in fucking everything now

she is charismatic as hell

No the fuck she isn’t.

THE
POTA
TOE
ES

Jackson is in the mountains of Wyoming, while the rest of the game takes place around Seattle, which rarely gets snow.

Why would a modern military unit have like 100 dudes walking in the middle of a street and out of formation?
One bomb and half your group is gone

it said THREE MONTHS LATER in big white letters. sorry you are blind

Cast him.

That woman from Alien Romulus

Post holes you whore.

Steven Seagal as ellie in the ladt of us

That's what they want you to think idiot. But she actually threw up because she's pregnant.

I am fucking tired of watching Maisie in the show. Boring af when she gets screentime.

Jackie chan

old dude is the only one to speak up for your side at the vote to avenge your daddy

provides all of the supplies for your expedition

helps arrange for you to sneak out

refuse to say even a word of thanks just because he made a homophobic comment three months ago

nearly snub his handshake request as well

why do they want us to hate ellie

Was it explained why they are going in Seattle?

Anyone notice Moner sounds like a fucking man now. Bitch has smoked way too many cigarettes.

It's even stupider because they routinely see dead people and even worse on a daily basis in jackson.

it's the smell is what she said

A clicker or a bloater would smell like absolute shit.

It’s funny how they don’t like people making fun of uggos but then turn around and call you ugly. Is it okay to call people ugly or not?

constant adrenaline

i was laughing my ass off at that terrible scene where the big zombie cornered tommy in a random alley. just felt and looked so weird. also half the episode was just them fucking around on horses or ellie and the asian guy hanging out in the weed gas station. it's by no means "constant adrenaline"

I dunno if it was just the stream but that wide shot of Seattle looked like a bad matte painting from 25 years ago. This is HBO's flagship series atm btw.

this

psychotherapist mojo

no fucks given

Someone who has played the game just tell me how it ends. Don't care about spoilers

she's a terrible actress (on this show at least) but goddam is she hot as fuck. between her and dina, we're eating good

For me it’s when people get punched and cough. That does not happen in real life.

Ellie subconsciously knows that Seth only did it because she would likely die in the process.

It's crazy how much better acted and directed all these scenes were in the games

People definitely get winded and start gasping for air if you punch them hard enough in the stomach.

i haven't played the game but i know she's supposed to be pregnant, so i'm assuming it's a fakeout for morning sickness... even though i assume that's supposed to be something you experience when you wake up, not after you've been riding a horse for hours

Does it surpass the crust busting episode in sheer non-stop crust busting action?

Better looking too. A literal PS4 game has better visuals than a TV show shot on location.

And I'm like 90% sure they're going to cut out all of the flowing water/flooding/rain because it's a pain in the ass to film.

I mean he doesn’t look that much better himself desu

That’s still different and not a straight up cough. Also they do it when they get punched in the face too so that’s not the reason.

That’s Dina? I thought it was a boys butt

they really should have spread the first game over two seasons or something. we barely got to know joel on the show, he's so weakly characterized. i find it hard to believe people who never played the games actually gave a shit about him dying

That's true there's a shitload of water in the games that adds to the atmosphere. That's all gone now

/two dykes less

He didn't care for a "thank you"

Normalfags think people are criticizing the actress instead of the studio, they even say she's an incredible actress. I mean, they even want her to play fucking Rogue... I'm not even a capeshit fan and even I think that's really fucked up.

Captcha: W8ART

Ellie kills all of abbeys friends except for the trans girl (new character not in the show). Jessie dies. Dina is pregnant with Jessies kid and she lives with Ellie. Ellie goes to kill Abbey and the tranny but then spares her because ???. Ellie loses her fingers and goes home to find Dina and the kid have left her. Ellie plays on the guitar but cant play because shes missing fingers. Roll credits.

Shame. The streets becoming rivers is one of the more interesting parts of TLOU2.

they do it when they get punched in the face too

No they don’t.

Everyone dies except the two people that actually should

This is a TV show not a fucking novel I'm not reading shit on TV. Exposition is stupid, they could have had a character say at the town hall that it's been three months since Joel died and that would have been fine

SERIOUSLY?
another one season wonder, fuck

nice digits retard

Yes they do.

The second game has been out for like 5 years now anon. None of this should be a surprise.

The commie commune must have amazing dry cleaning services.

What? You fail to see the strategic benefits of the gagglefuck formation walking around like a wall of flesh in the middle of the road in urban terrain with no security or reconnaissance?

I honestly thought it was the same person and was surprised to find out it wasn't. But then I heard Moner's pregnant character was based on Dina so I wonder if that other character was based on the Last of Us as well.

Expected too much from console kiddies. Holy shit

Take revenge by killing everyone exept the one who actually killed Joel

God the 2nd game is retarded

This is one of those common complaints I don't really get. It would be very easy to find detergent in the apocalypse. Everyone has some in their house and it's not something you'd think to take with you as you evacuate. And you should be able to find clothes in decent shape in houses/shops that haven't yet succumb to water damage.

ellie kills all of abby's friends but abby escapes. dina is pregnant with the asian guy's kid (he dies), so she and ellie settle down together to raise it. ellie gets news about abby's location and wants to go kill her for real. dina tells her that if she runs off for revenge, then dina will leave her, but abby doesn't care. ellie hunts down abby for the second time, but abby has been captured by another group and is emaciated/left for dead. ellie frees her so that they can fight, abby bites off ellie's fingers, but ellie gets the upper hand. ultimately, ellie decides not to kill her and she lets abby go. ellie goes home, to find dina took the kid and left. THE END

constantly finding brand new fashionable clothes

Yeah, no.

Bella is so fucking horrible at acting jesus christ

Yea, not going to waste time with this dogshit. Saved myself from buying the crap game too.

Are you actually retarded, does your brain process what it sees? Do you have a driver's licence?

All you need to find is a single store that was weatherproof and you'd have hundreds of brand new outfits.
It has only been 20 years. We're not talking hundreds of years since the apocalypse.

Ellie kills her way across the country through all of Abby's friends, then they fight half to the death till Ellie has a flashback to Joel and decides to forgive Abby and bury the cycle of hatred (cause it doesn't matter who attacked first, a two-state solution is best, goyim!) thank Druckman for stealing the IP from the woman who produced the first game and turning it into a poor allegory for the Israel Palestine conflict.

She is very miscast especially for season 2 Ellie. And the series will never recover from that.

Mark my words: This season is going to end with Bella Ramsey nudity and I've never been so giddy with anticipation!

episode 4

Flashback episode to establish WLF

episode 5

Seattle day 1

Episode 6

Seattle day 2

Episode 7

Seattle day 3 ending with the theater fight

Y/N?

I thought she was pretty good in season 1 honestly. Her inflections sounded a lot like videogame ellie

Ryan Gosling

Yeah and the only ones defending her are non-attractive women and that stereotypical low-testo spectacled beardguy who gets dopamine from likes of the said non-attractive women

I'm an attractive man who has sex and I think she's fine

they need to change it in the script
that's awful
I'm not into vidya

Sex with... men?

she's a 10 in bongland

I don't believe any of those claims are true

Her acting sounds like her face looks. It’s ridiculous that people try to defend that just because they feel bad for her face.

youtu.be/liPu1_aPH5k?si=5clzlXnIzIqxUNHg

I watch it for they

It's one thing to be an ugly but talented actor, that can work. But when you're ugly and bad it's just sad.

True.
Walton Goggins has made a career on that.

No you’re not. The lies surrounding this show are so obvious.

Yes, Spaenyfag, we know.

Eating a battery

What did he mean by this?

I can't picture her working much longer unless she comes out.

Then she will be the darling of Hollywood.

Yeah like Buscemi.

the chopped of us

KEK
I just finished episode 3

no more joel

ellie has no charm

Dina is carrying the hold show now

Moner is looking like Ana de Armas sometimes

I've never seen as convincing as that boxing scene lmfao

I dropped this show the moment they had gay blind commie niggers or something to that effect. Sucks cause the premise is great and it could be a cool show, but somehow it gets bogged down by the gayest propaganda you've ever seen. And wait isn't this the show where the gay episode was actually kinda kino and one of the better eps? Everything past that was awful afaik.

Any good eps in this show where I can skip gay commie propaganda?

If you kill your enemies... They win!

Yeah, I'm not gonna watch season 2.

I honestly feel bad for Bella. She's being used. She's a terrible actress and looks like King Charles II of Spain. She shouldn't be in this role.

Season 1
Episodes 1, 2, 5, 8

Season 2
Episode 2

Can't wait for this to become the next Game of Thrones when they run out of source material and just make shit up.

Did Dinah want to fuck Joel? I've unironically heard women say they got that vibe from her.

>If you kill your enemies... They win!

>Moner is looking like Ana de Armas sometimes

Nah. Maybe Ano de Armas.

Her hair is really not doing her any favors. Ellie always had short hair. And why the FUCK is Tommy and Jesse not with them?

They're going so slowly that they'll get at least one more season out of tlou2

saves your show

Apologize!

Moner mogs Bella to an insane degree, and not just for being prettier

She's carrying Joel's baby

That's why Joel felt so guilty before he died

This show is gayer than the fags on Reddit who pretend to like it.

They knew they couldn’t race swap Ellie so they are using her to deflect criticism.

sorry anon, that's not my Dina
I know she plays Dina
you wish, abby fag

can you really ride a horse from wyoming to seattle?
what did the horse eat

thank Druckman for stealing the IP from the woman who produced the first game

This is among the weirder urban legends regarding this IP that I've seen pop up lately.

He's conflating stories about uncharted 4 and Amy Hennig
The actual story is that TLOU1 was a Druckmann collaboration with Bruce Straley who prevented all the dumb shit that ended up being used in TLOU2 after he quit

Vaginal discharge. Yeast infection helps keep the horse fed.

It's possible, but Alvarez has never adressed it. In the case of Civil War, Garland got Moura and Cailee to essentially play Joel and Ellie. Shit Moura's character is even called Joel in that movie, plus Garland has expressed how much he likes the Last of Us games.

Druckmann doesn't create, he """adapts"" (read": steals). He's the vidya equivalent of Quentin Tarantino

A Garland directed tlou would've been so much better

bored loved the first game, hated the second. should i watch this shit? i still don't get why the casted this chick as ellie, i feel like it will be hard to get past

Episode 2 was solid
Episode 1 and 3 were bad
Watch Buffy instead

I just have trouble believing there's still an audience for melodramatic zombie slop 15 years after The Walking Dead premiered.

roald dahl is based. this applies to everyone hateful desu, on the left and the right

what happened in episode 3? i also have watched zero of season 1

he was too based

Yea let's all play imagination and act like she doesn't look like a foot and an ass had sex in a potato patch

fucking kek bro

Caileebros...

Oh
Season 1 is alright
Skip episode 3 and 7 if you want to avoid pointless side stories

She looks like a Tudor-tier inbred phenotype, low genetic stalk variety prolonged over the course of hundreds of years of brother/sister-fucking.

I still don't get why Ellie didn't just leave abby to rot on that cross. Like she frees her, lets her get close to the boat and suddenly thinks "oh yeh that bitch killed joel" and fights her but when she's just about to kill her she gets a flashback to Joel and lets her go, which is retarded since Joel would kill Abby if she killed Ellie, so seeing him as a peaceful figure or whatever is retarded. Only a kike could write something so terrible

would

yeah that's pretty mean even tho she's ugly i wouldn't say it outside of here

based jeffrey will save the show

ELLIOTT

I still don't get why Ellie didn't just leave abby to rot on that cross

lets her get close to the boat

Because she expected her to attack first. But by that point Abby couldn't give less of a fuck and just wanted to save her one remaining tranny. Say what you will about TLOU2 but Abby being taught a clear lesson that avenging her father opened a pandora box of hurt for everyone she loved is pretty well established.

She can look like a 5/10 if she leans heavily into her feminine side, when when playing ellie she has to act and look like a tomboy, which absolutely does not fit her

You're all pedos

lmao!

probably something like that, finale has got to be the theater fight since that's pretty much the only thing that would work as a climax. i guess they'll just do the lev stuff as flashbacks next season since he's supposedly not in this season, i think that's how it worked in the game anyway

would love to have a hot chick kill me desu

NOOOO YOU HAVE TO STOP SUSPENDING DISBELIEF AND USING YOUR IMAGINATION, YOU HAVE TO BE PERPETUALLY MISERABLE IN REAL LIFE LIKE MEEEEEEE

no I get Abby not wanting to fight, I saying Ellie letting her go makes no sense. Just fucking leave her on the cross, what the hell

I'm*

Yea let's all play imagination and act like she doesn't look like a foot and an ass had sex in a potato patch.

Even the anti-woke critics are careful to say "she's a good actress but just poorly suited for this part."

No, she's a fucking misshapen troglodyte child actor who fluked into a role on the biggest series on TV, and captured the Reddit crowd's imagination as "le epic bad ass tiny girl boss who can beat up le misogynist mens". Right alongside her faggot costar Pedro. She's a terrible actor. It's all stunt casting. They should have cast the kid from Hereditary.

does anyone else here feel like their going to puke when someone else pukes aroiund you? some guy was drunk or high on the train like a year ago and instead of getting off just kept vomiting over and over again onto the floor. i got off two stops earlier and started gagging. luckily that was all but i skipped dinner that night

i don't care if ellie's actress is ugly, i just wish she'd play things a little straighter (no pun intended). bouncing from moody to quirk chungus is not working. in the games, ellie is mostly a pretty flat character (outside of a few scenes like the one in jackson). if they had just stuck to that, she would've been a lot more likable. as they have her now, it just feels like she's going back and forth between trying too hard to be likable and actively trying to be unlikable. the show centers on her and she's a mess.

pedro's joel wasn't that good either but he at least wasn't as distracting

it was pretty bad actually
The town people really suck at defending themselves

I think Bella is pretty cute

By now it should be abundantly clear in Hollywood that casting Bella Ramsey is a miscasting.

reminder that bella kissed moner and YOU NEVER WILL

yes, that's common

NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE CASTING CHOICES THAT ARE SO PHYSICALLY UNPLEASANT THAT THEY'RE INTENTIONALLY CHOSEN FOR THAT EFFECT FOR RETARDED PROGRESSIVE REASONS, OTHERWISE YOU'RE MISERABLE AND DON'T BELIEVE IN ENGAGING IN A SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF AAAAAAA I'M FAGGOT AND I LIKE SUCKING COCKS AAAAA GIVE ME CUM AAAAA

I already did

i live near the food cart from picrel blew my mind when i realized i walk past it every day. we and a qt got falafel from it too like a year ago

Who the fuck wouldn't be on Team Cutiepie? Especially if she has a righteous cause

we

how many of you are there?!

Tommy and Jesse are on their way to Seattle and probably not far behind. They weren't asked and Ellie/Dina probably assumed they would say no and stop them.

This version of Tommy is kind of ruined by not being just as vengeful as Ellie and bolting for Seattle ahead of the others

Are we just supposed to pretend, as a species, that women arnt equally as guilty in being attracted to youth? Leonardo Dicaprio, Justin Bieber, Timothée Chalamet. And no, enjoying looking at attractive people isn’t the same as prolific bean flickers and snake chokers. I like looking at attractive people because I like looking at attractive people. Everything else is projection.

Should've done that with season 1.
There is so much more world building that they could've done. They wasted a lot of time with bullshit too and could've fleshed out ellie's and Joel's relationship (there are a lot of flashbacks, flashbacks are lazy, just insert them her instead . I was hoping that they would end the first season with Joel getting fatally hurt. Ending on a cliffhanger. Instead they rushed the story at the end. Even just the start. I was hoping to see more there. Why rush Joel and his daughter's relationship?
It makes sense in a video game, you want to have action and control of the characters. No need to kill her instantly after 1 episode. Seeing his daughter for longer makes her death more impactful. Also no need for time skips. How about showing things that we only read or heard about in the video game? The horrible things that Joel did to save Tommy and to survive? That would've been awesome, but nope.

She wanted mano o mano fight with big, roided Abby, she wanted the release and satisfaction of beating her. Slitting her throat on the cross or stabbing her shrunken body while she can't do anything is not going to cut it. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of the people who thinks Ellie letting her go is one of the most moronic writing decisions of that game. It is literally a last-minute BPD write-in; there are revenge plays from the 17th century where characters are legitimately mentally fucked in the head who don't do nearly something so damaging to the narrative.
I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years down the line we will find out that this was the "last minute" retroactive change during development because they wanted Abby in the 3rd game or some shit.

kind of surprised they made it to seattle already, figured they'd stretch that out somehow

The potato of face

I don't need to see any more after episode 2.

giant wooden palisade is just 1 log thick

know they'll be charging the walls because they're blind, but only defend the gate

don't even have secondary defences

they wait until the horde is already at the wall to drop their explosive barrels

flamethrowers are literal propane weed burners, being totally useless when they could have used pressurised, thickened gas from those barrels

they wait until they're already in the streets to use them

they get up onto buildings and DON'T EVEN BARRICADE THE DOORS

the only thing protecting all their women and children is a single board across an interior home door

I was so mad I just stopped it before the whole torture-death thing happened. I imagine it's just a shot for shot remake of the game, except she makes it clear she's going to torture him to death, so they the fuck wouldn't he at least go for a weapon and force them to shoot him? Nothing makes sense, everything is contrived to be a shitty as possible and I'm just not interested because of it.

“Revenge is bad” is basically being thrown in your face lol, then they have the “face of bigotry” being an advocate for revenge. It’s not subtle at all lol

What's your genes?

Potato

Use 'em as a silencer.

seeeeeexxxxx
it feels truly blissful to be the one guy who thinks both this chick and italian nosefu from the game are hot

In the game Isaac barely does anything and never meets any of the Jackson trespassers, so his role would have to be significantly expanded for him to have that effect

Reminder that Moner kissed a black guy in a Netflix show.
Unsimulated.

Did the zombie attack the settlement in the game? I forgor.

No it was planned but cut from the final game

bigot sandwich
youtube.com/watch?v=G6201BwWrwE

It’s pretty boring. I’m not sure if an Attractive Ellie would even save the show for me.

Moner is gorgeous and I love her raspy little voice. Demi Moore-esque

even better there was sexual tension between the two. don't @ me you know it's true

which is retarded since Joel would kill Abby if she killed Ellie, so seeing him as a peaceful figure or whatever is retarded

That's literally the point. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but that is literally the point they're making.

I've played until Joel died. Didn't happen at all. Don't know if it happens later and they rewrote it to make it happen simultaneously with Joel's death. Badly done in the TV show in my opinion. Tommy was with Joel, changing that to Dina was retarded too.

Even the anti-woke critics are careful to say "she's a good actress but just poorly suited for this part."

That’s because making fun of someone’s looks is the lowest form of criticism. It’s painful to do because, unless you are a woman, making fun of someone’s innate looks is not wholesome and doesn’t earn you social credit. Not even ugly people want to see ugly people in their movies, unless they are hella charismatic like willem dafoe. Bella has none of that, so we are left wondering wtf the casting directors were thinking.

Ok I like the change. Make sense why they don't want to spare manpower.

Nope. There are hordes of frozen infected in the mountains near Jackson and Abby gets chased by them, but that's it, Jackson is never attacked by anything.
And because nothing happened to the town, Tommy and Ellie and Dina all leave on the revenge quest within a few days instead of waiting 3 fucking months

Based

Did Tommy and Joel interact at all in season 2 lol

can someone tell me how the fuck to reduce cpu usage on pc version of tlou

Wait what? The director of Romulus was inspired by tlou2 the video game?

Yeah that would have been a thousand mile journey or something through the mountains and plains and they just teleported from wyoming into urban seattle with a sprinkle of woods in between

what fucking point

yeah, it's not subtle. hell, abby's group wasn't even that evil. obviously they were rough on joel but joel killed abby's dad and a fuckton of their people (and that's putting aside the fact the joel ruined a potential chance of curing the cordyceps). they would've been totally justified in killing dina and ellie right then and there. but no, they did the bare minimum and left

why is tommy such a bitch in the show

Bella has none of that, so we are left wondering wtf the casting directors were thinking.

It's because she has a powerful agent and has been grandfathered in as a well-known name due to no merit of her own.

Hello svgbro :)

it's about how violence creates a cycle of revenge that destroys everyone involved. joel killed abby's dad (to stop violence against ellie). abby takes revenge and kills joel. ellie goes to get revenge against abby and sees that she's already been destroyed by someone else's violence (tortured and starved etc). so sees that there is no point to it anymore and is able to stop the cycle.

Because it will be Dina hunting Abby and her friends instead of Tommy. She kills Manny for example

They had just one very brief interaction on the first episode, the refugees/city planning scene.
There might be flashbacks with them though

Season 1

takes a year to get from Boston to Salt Lake City

season 2

get from Jackson to Seattle in a couple days

so gross. also wonder if he was on opiates because i drink and do blow all the time and hasn't happened to me in ages. i certainly wouldn't get on the subway if i felt sick

>they get up onto buildings and DON'T EVEN BARRICADE THE DOORS

The fact that there was no rear security for the guys on the rooftops was so dumb. Didn't even bother trying to block the staircases or set up any kind of traps or barriers, they just let them run up and catch them completely by surprise. Not even a damn trench with spikes or anything outside of the wall either

I thought it would take them at least half the season to get there. This show isn't very good.

when she's just about to kill her she gets a flashback to Joel and lets her go

That's just a lazy ripoff of the scene in TWD where Rigg gets a vision of Carl and spares Negan.

You don't lmao, say hi to Iron galaxy. The shitbed of PC ports. Also close your browser while you are playing, it sometimes spikes RAM usage.

i'm typing sloppy right now,

me and a qt

pardon my typos tonight. ironically sober

already been destroyed by someone else's violence (tortured and starved etc). so sees that there is no point to it anymore

I mean everyone's bloodthirst would be satisfied after that, it doesn't take a Jesus figure.

How the fuck is a teenager gonna be attracted to an older man.

my sister lives in seattle. i've never been. looks pretty but i hear they have a lot of bums
captcha: gayxr

Not even a damn trench with spikes

GOD that pisses me off. A 6ft trench around the wall is a massive fucking obstacle and when it fills becomes like shooting fish in a barrel full of napalm. They even had fuelled earthmovers to fucking dig it.

It's batshit crazy that they decided to just teleport them 1000 miles as if nothing notable would have happened along the way there lol

akshually their defenses were pretty good, multiple layers, good use of fortifications and the weapons available. but guessing they weren't designed to withstand that level of attack.

Is episode 3 any good? I don't wanna waste my time.

noted

This roastie is toasty

there's plenty of homeless but its not really any worse than any other big city
I think LA and SF are probably worse desu

jackson hole to seattle is like a quarter of the distance, and they had a horse the entire way

Waiting 3 months for what?

I'm not that interested in the show now that pedro is kill. The rest of these actors suck. Casting bella for season 2 was a huge mistake. Reminds me of TWD kind of when rick left the show I lost interest.

kek deny nature all you want

It still is stretched out. If it followed the game's pacing then they would have reached Seattle within the first 10 minutes of this episode, instead of at the very end of it.
I vastly prefer how the game handled it, where Tommy and Ellie both immediately want to go one-man-army the fuck out of the WLF, it's irrelevant what the rest of the town thinks, and the decisions are made within 2 or 3 brief scenes

interesting, i am from LA and it's turned into a massive shit hole. ironically living in NYC and there's none of the problems back home

Thank you for pointing out the obvious? Are you actually pretending that this subtle in any way in the game?
The point is that execution is garabge beyond belief. Either kill Abby and then let her be confronted by how pointless and hollow the revenge was or don't even start the fight to begin with, make Ellie look at what has Abby became and let it go. This half retarded half assed cop out thumble, where the game both doesn't let her kill Abby but then acts like she did is literally BPD nonsense.

Literally all women are, whether they would ever admit or realize it or not. What the fuck do you think daddy issues are

In the show I guess it was Dina waiting for Ellie to get released from the hospital

I know I'm just fucking with you bro

Many.

The most important thing you can do is to preserve this era by purchasing physical media that depicts beautiful white people positively.

Ellie is in hospital for three entire months because she got kicked in the chest

Uh, what? Wtf?

pretty close actually

What the fuck is wrong with redditors?

Pedos

Episode 2 was actually good. Not even trolling. But i reckon theyve blown the entire budget on this ep and everythjng after this will be boring filler.

Something that's always pissed me off about the entire premise of the storyline: The Fireflies killing Ellie for the cure. In the show, the Firefly leader knows exactly how Ellie got that immunity, and it's via umbilical cord. To literally anyone with a semester of human biology education, that'd be a huge fucking clue that she's not just some freak occurrence they can hack up for bits to study. The world's been fucked up for, what 10 years? They couldn't wait a couple of years and say "Hey, you were willing to die for the cure. Would you be willing to live well and have a baby to see if the condition is passed on like an immunological response?". She'd be surrounded by the last, best doctors and nurses available to care for her and study the kid during and after the pregnancy to figure out if they maybe don't need to immediately euthanise the possible, literal mother of the next generation of a hunch. If not? If she dies, the baby dies or turns, well then you have her body to study for science anyway, along with the kid for comparison. It just makes no fucking sense.

charismatic as hell

All that’s missing from this comment is the trans colour anime profile picture. Brave and powerful. Maybe if you fight for these nonbinary uggos you won’t smash another mirror for dehumanizing you with a reflection.

A shift from the conventional male gaze

What the fuck does this mean?

Agreed, and the father would have to be Joel

Maybe I am dumb but if Ellie kills every member of Abby's group and Abby herself doesn't that stop the circle of revenge since there would be noone left to take revenge on Ellie?
I know revenge is bad but if you are in this deep it's best to just kill everyone (or yourself).

So you're saying TLOU2 should have been an Ellie impregnated by Joel, running around killing zombies and looking for her baby daddy because the Doctors and Nurses kidnapped her and kept her from him?

That's why Joel was in the right to kill them and rescue her.

I still don't get why Ellie didn't just leave abby to rot on that cross.

Because Rockstar already did the proper revenge story with Red Dead Redemption, so Druckman had to subvert everyone's expectations by letting Ellie (Jack Marston) spare Abby (Edgar Ross) instead of killing her. Instead of "Remember My Family," we get "It Was All for Nothing."

They could sanitise it for TV by making it artificial insemination from a random sperm donor, but they've already got Dina whoring around and getting knocked up, so it's not like some out-there proposition.

Dilate, loony troon

They wanted to kill Joel because they knew he would never let it go. Their leader knew he was a ruthless killer and could see he was attached to her. If anything, they'd want to keep him close as someone willing to die to protect her.

The show is extremely retarded in that regard. Problem is Mazin wrote that for the show and Druckmann the retard loved it. Not realizing that it's just ripping off blade and answering two questions (who's ellie's mom and why is ellie immune) and giving you 300 new more important ones. If Marlene knew that ellie's mom got bitten and ellie is immune why wouldn't they try to Mengele their way into a cure i.e. kidnap pregnant women let zombies bite them and harvest immune babies before the very slow cordyceps reaches the baby (you know, Israel stuff) +?

Marlene doesnt know that. She gets there after everything has happened. Ellie's mom lies and said she gave birth before she was bitten.

TLOU2 should have been 7 episodes of passionate, sweaty, grunting lovemaking that sets up the next season where Joel gets iced or whatever and Ellie is pissed and has to raise her baby with Dina and Jessie (who also fuck explicitly)

When I first played and the Abby boat scene started, I legitimately thought that Ellie is going to kill Abby but the tranny kid is going to wake up see murder, row the fuck away and vow revenge hence perpetuating the cycle.
Doesn't this make sense in terms of pathos? Ellie is shown as beyond obsessive over Abby, she sacrifices all of her happiness to get there. She is the last fucking person to consciously stop the cycle.

Absolutely agreed. They were ready to instantly cut her up for parts on a hunch, because they are retarded idealogues with absolutely no view as the future. I mean, they're bombing quarantine zones filled with people because authoritarianism...in the fucking post-apocalypse, where 90% of those people would die within a week outside those walls.

Marlene knows that. Her mom tells her that she cut off the umbilical cord before the infection could reach the baby.

Not even ugly people want to see ugly people in their movies

This is true.
t. Ugly

I think they'd piece it together pretty fucking quick once they realise she's immune.

what's funny is that despite "ending the cycle" Ellie get's nothing out of it. Her dyke gf leaves with the baby, she loses some fingers so she can't play the guitar, and she's all alone it was all for nothing basically. Ellie made the "right" choice but got an ending where it's like she completely went through with revenge

She had a flashback to remember how kind and nice Joel was always showing mercy (he wasn't, he was a ruthless man only caring about survival and Tommy for years, doing horrific things to survive which he probably told ellie, understandable if you think about how his daughter died)

Seems like a fun plot twist. He was at whatever compound she was being held at the entire time. He escapes after finding out she escaped. You play as him in the second half of the game trying to catch up to Ellie, but every time he catches up he gets setback holding off zombies/compound people/bandits etc

TLOU2 should have been 7 episodes of passionate, sweaty, grunting lovemaking

Needs a recast first before I'd watch that.

It'd be less lethal to the civilian population than their terror-bombings, and actually has a chance of achieving something meaningful.

Maybe in South Korea they could do something about that face shape and those Down syndrome-shaped eyes he has. They have great plastic surgeons

kek for sure mate, i am tired as hell today

Needs a recast first before I'd watch that.

Sydney Sweeney as Ellie and Debecki as Joel.

the doctors want a vaccine that could save humanity now, not rely on one woman repopulating the world with immune people over many generations

of course the "cure" seems impossible with the tech they have. i can stretch my imagination to believe that after 20 years they can get a dam working and power a town. i cannot stretch my imagination that after 20 years they'd have access to a supply of materials needed for genetic sequencing, animals for testing, enough scientists who know how to do this shit, etc. not to mention they went out of their way on the show to say that you literally can't make a vaccine to a fungus (idk why but they made a big point about this) so that pretty much undercuts the whole idea and makes abby's dad out to be some quack who doesn't know what he's talking about

especially since she has tons of retarded defenders because she came out as a non-binary autist. so now we can't discuss her performance honestly because all criticism is met with cries of "misogynist incel!!!!!"

I know, my Mengele idea sounds reasonable if you think about the state of world in the tlou universe. Problem is that's only a thing in the show. It's never explained why ellie is immune. The explanation makes everything very stupid and dumber than before. Marlene would've written down somewhere what happened to ellie's mom or told somebody and somebody would've figured it out after all the fireflies die and Abby picks up their remains. Her people talk about how ellie is immune. So someone probably knows how that happened and somebody would probably try to recreate the immunity. Mazin and Druckmann forgot. Those retards forgot that it's known now how immunity is achieved.

If they can understand how that immunity is passed on, they can replicate it. If you can pass out shots you can administer to pregnant women in their last trimester, then you can literally birth a new generation of immune people who can do anywhere, do anything and reclaim territory lost of the fungus forests.

TLOU3

Doctors finally agree to let one immune woman repopulate the world

She's black

Bravo Druckman.

It's one of the most forced 'realization' twinkles out there.

"That killing spree over them vivisecting you? Yeah, I'd fucking do it again."

woooow, when you said you'd kill them all again, It really made me think about this cycle of violence while I'm choking this bitch

It's literally pretend profoundness.

he was unarmed, you killed an UNARMED doctor who was going to save the world

they redo Abby's dad picking up the scalpel trying to stab Joel

Change the fuckin dialogue then, Jesus christ
Also what about millions of zombies? The big ones just rip you to shreds and what if a horde starts eating you?being immune doesn't really help.
The attack on Jackson would've been the exact same if all of them were immune. Let's say Joel doesn't save ellie and let's say Abby's father is a genius and can extract the cure after killing ellie and mass produce the vaccine. The world is already over. It's not like it turns the zombies into humans.

they can replicate it

i already told you why they couldn't do that. making a vaccine doesn't just mean mashing up ellie's brain and giving everybody a shot of that. getting the sample is just the first step and there would be a ton of work left to do that they definitely do not have the facilities and materials for. even if they had access to some fully stocked government lab that never lost power over the past 20 years, most of the shit they would need would be expired with no functioning supply chain to replace it. not to mention the 20 year old machinery would need people who knew how to service it all so that it could still function. so even if a vaccine was possible (the show explicitly says this is impossible in the first scene of the first episode), they wouldn't be able to pull it off

It also says it's very unlikely that fungi take control of humans, are you retarded? Those aren't laws written in stone that can never be changed. You get that, right? Last episode season 1 Joel told Ellie that there are other immune people like her there, you understand that there weren't any, right? or is it true as well, because the show explicitly says this.

I don’t think she needs someone to hold the bag.

So what happened to the dude in the last episode that cracked open the clay pipe and saw the fungus after pulling out some dead roots inside. That was three months ago, nothing happened?

even if they somehow could aerosolize the cure so that it got applied to the entire world and also the cure killed all zombies as well, even then they'd still be fucked in rebuilding society. the world would have to be reconquered to establish government control again. if anything the zombies at least keep those groups in check right now so that city states like jackson can exist

I never boxed, why is somebody holding the bag anyway?

Turns out video games are poorly written garbage and make terrible material for adaptations.
Who would have thought?

he world would have to be reconquered to establish government control again. if anything the zombies at least keep those groups in check right now so that city states like jackson can exist

is tlou apocalypse accidentally better than modern life?

True. Even if the cure would kill all zombies. Billions are dead, every country is in ruins. The world is fucked. There was never really a moral dilemma for me there. Joel (you the player) is going to save Ellie, no matter the cost. Fuck the fireflies.
This is just speculation, but it makes sense

Druckmann:people loved Joel too much, let's kill him in the sequel

It also says it's very unlikely that fungi take control of humans, are you retarded?

you're leaving out that they explained this as well and strongly implied that cordyceps evolved to be able to take over humans due to global warming. so in the context of the show, they left it open that fungus could evolve to take over humans but a vaccine could never happen

The game was better written than the show. Talking about the first game.

Cutting Ellies brain open to find a vaccine is retarded, but there is nothing wrong with having a vaccine and trying to distribute it even if the entire world cant be saved in the short term. Even if you cant distribute it at this point in time it doesnt make it useless. How many fucking times in tlou and in zombie fiction in general has there been a character thats been bitten in a non life threatening manner and then turned? It would be an absolutely massive thing to not worry about in a zombie apocalypse.

I'm not talking about a traditional vaccine. They demonstrate that the fungus reaching Ellie in-utero essentially creates an attenuated colony in her brain that doesn't replicate, yet informs alien spores that a colony is already present and stops it from spreading. Replicate that through trials and create a method to allow women to create immune children. Sure, it doesn't help the older generation, but it creates a new one immune to spores.

Abby's dad finds a cure, despite that. Wow. So never say never. This is the dumbest thing to complain about by the way. There are so many other things wrong with that show.

Sure, let's find pregnant women and harvest their kids after the women get bitten then.
Why not?
Oops let's just pretend that we don't know how immune people are born. Not even to repopulate earth. If you need another immune person and cut their head open.

How do you guys feel about Abby being the main character and most likable now? It's crazy how much people like her now that she's sexy

Dina and Abby cuck Ellie in the adaptation.

They swing around when you punch them.

hard to take them ser

... Nobody cares about real world pharmaceutical technology, you absolute retard. Fungi controlling people is also impossible. Even if the retarded show says that it is somehow possible

but the show says it's possible

So what's wrong with accepting that the show then also says it's possible to make a vaccine? You're so dumb.

So? That's good, try punching a punching bag when it's swinging towards you. I imagine that's more resistance than somebody holding it.

one guy does find a cure that the show said was supposed to be impossible despite having none of the resources to make this even slightly plausible

the idea that a cure was possible is like the central premise of the first season and it being impossible completely recontextualizes joel's decision at the end of the first game/season. are you seriously so retarded that you think this is a nit pick rather than a massive problem with the story? go back to arguing about the actress being ugly you fucking brainlet

What does that have to do with finding a cure? Im saying a cure is still important even though it doesnt magically get rid of all the zombies.

We're talking in circles, you're retarded. I won, you lose. Good for you.

How many fucking times in tlou... has there been a character thats been bitten in a non life threatening manner and then turned?

like twice? tess, the black kid, and i can't think of anyone else. and in both of those examples it was some contrived shit where we never see them get bit or in a situation where they were probably bit, they just reveal it later

i accept your concession

spores turn you into a zombie

implying you can hide from that

I accepted yours already. Keep seething, retard

kek you're the one who is clearly seething. keep replying, faggot

No u
U mad?
Kys
Your meltdown has been hilarious so far keep going.

So basically it's like John Wick, except at the end John doesn't kill the guy that killed his dog and realizes revenge is wrong?

implying you can hide from fungal spores

The show is over after that, you retard. Everyone is a zombie. The end.

but what about researching vaccines and what the dude said?

Doesn't matter, fungal infections are impossible to cure easy to spread and fungal spores are impossible to avoid. World is 100% zombies. Show over. Congrats. You debated the story into an ending. Wow. You're so smart.

What the fuck is wrong with redditors?

It's explicitly moderated to give freaks like this a simulacrum of "power".

kek
the therapist was annoying when she was nagging Joel but she was based this episode

I just wanted to flex my knowledge about vaccine research and I just wanted to show how a vaccine would've been impossible to do in the show. I'm a genius. First guy to come up with this by the way.

I don’t like when people do it. The swinging is fun and yes I like hitting it as it’s coming at me.

Hitting a heavy bag while it is swinging towards you is a good way to injure your wrists. Trainers will hold the bag so you can work on your punching technique at a faster pace. I have an anchor on one of mine to keep it in place.

the blast of crust

Moner is so freaking cute and charming in this. I suddenly get the appeal.

welcome monerbro

There might be a chance that Mazin changed the ending. You'll see in season 3 in 3 years.

make the homophobe pro revenge

real subtle Neil

It's a story about Israel and Palestine.

the absolute peak of Sweet Baby Inc - DEI - every Western nerd project is directed by a girlboss and stars a girlboss and that girlboss sure as FUCK will not be attractive to the male gaze

feels bad, i used to want to make movies

Yeah, dude, that why you can't make movies
keeeek

your not going to believe me but i've had some success, not enough to actually hit my goal though. very depressingly looking to leave film right now since i don't want to make kiked shit

kind of shocking this is the only thread

Yes but I dislike how they've taken all of Tommy's vengeful drive and initiative and shifted it to Dina here, and Tommy has not at all done a convincing job of showing that he cares that his brother was murdered

I remember when she was a sex symbol on this board.

In the show I expect they will dial back and avoid this. Otherwise they would have cast a Jewish-looking Dina. Also note that they first introduced the Seraphites by depicting a group that's trying to escape and avoid war, instead of showing them doing a sadistic ritual execution

No you don’t.

Yes I do, boy.
