I'm watching this episode with my parents tonight
are there lesbian sex scenes or something? if so I will make up an excuse to not watch it with them

ugly goblin

I just can't accept Bella. She's a nice lady but she ain't Ellie

No crust as of now

Moner makes me feel funny feelings

Episode was a lot better than i tought. Jackson scenes and characters are really well written. I didnt play the shit sequal so Dina's character is really a suprise to me. Moner's cuteness + good/logical writing is superb combo.

And yes, Ramsey is a miscast with her egg face but at least she can act, plus TV Ellie's characterization is consistant with s1.

but at least she can act

in what world can this expressionless mongoloid who rushes every line and has marbles in her mouth constantly act? she's so god damn awful that it is completely ruining the show. This episode was the worst of the entire series for me

So she was pretending the entire episode when talking to Dina? Even when she was by herself? Whats the point of that? I think the simpler explanation is that she just cant act

I can't believe they cast this FAS with such cuties like Moner and the Abby chick.

here is ur ellie

Alanna Ubach in the next ep

WE'RE SO BACK

Literally who?
Is she another girl boss in charge? fat woman from last season, blackwashed bitch and now this ffs. Is every community run by a woman in this world?

I'm more excited about

doesnt look like anything to me

guy.

The game is just better at everything except Dina:
Better Ellie. Better Joel. Better visuals. Better Abby.
It actually has better writing as well which is shocking to me. Why is s video game better written than television, the writer's medium? Why is everything so on the nose? Everyone is just blubbering their mouths non stop. I can't even interpret intentions because it's all spelled out for me. This is lazy television. This is Netflix-watch-while-on-your-phone-slop.
Overall though I enjoy it. I just find it funny how this show extenuates how meticulous and well made the games were.

that's an isaac flashback so she's going to be the seraphite prophet

Why are they slowing down their relationship? In the game Ellie and Dina had already scissored by this point.

very likely, yeah. Kino choice desu

It actually has better writing

Hey hello my name is Tommy Miller from the town of Jackson and this is my brother JOEL Miller. Oh boy you guys are lucky to run into us because my brother is a MONSTER when it comes to killing! He is getting old but even just 5 years ago he solo'ed the firefly main base, murdered everyone, this old bastard!

Heh, why do you guys looking at me like that :DDD

Fuck off

Literally who?

sydney sweeney's mom from euphoria or the mom from Ted show

Since Part II will split into 2 seasons, what will be the cutoff point?

so are they just cutting Tommys rampage or what?

that's what critical drinker told you happened in the ep?

I literally just finished that scene yesterday, that is not remotely what happens

Cast him.

I didn't watch the episode just because I wanted to see how the ratings dipped after Joel's death

Dishonest. The scene is nothing like that. kys

Hunter Schafer

no, it's spelled Ubach

No he obviously left after the council voted no

Jack Black

hope so it would be the height of stupidity to cut it

yeah, they were already a couple before leaving jackson

I'm getting strong Paul Giamatti vibes from this

i hope they splash some money on that sequence like they did with jackson siege

Considering the Jackson siege wasn't even in the game we should assume they have more money than they actually need.

Oh yeah it was much worse. Joel outs himself like retard.
youtu.be/yCOE5IUnOKY?t=120

Fuck off back to r*ddit.

imagine the smell

You're fucking retarded. The is literally no reason to think that introducing yourself to someone will make them suddenly want to kill you all of a sudden when they've been friendly. Also Abby already knew he was Joel so it didn't even matter. Also kys

you haven't played the game

a CGI blob

Did Abby murder that little girl in the game?

Also Abby already knew he was Joel

Shamelessly lying is so easy for tlou2 trannies.

fucking idiot, why wouldn't he say his name?

youtu.be/xCycerwf2Ug?si=bwz-Ygqb7vmoksVo&t=42
TLOU1 -> Joel immediately realizes something is wrong and makes the first move to get out of there.
TLOU2 -> Joel stands in the middle of the room like a retard waiting for them to make the first move.
You need to go back.

There is no little Scar girl in the game. It's show fiction.

they cut the snowball fight tutorial

some chuds are really desperate to strain for criticisms to somehow validate their hatred of TLOU2, so now they have to pick apart inconsequential changes while they continue to consume a property they claim to hate

Tommy already told Abby their names before they got to the house

he has less then 2 seconds, he does immediately realize something is wrong the moment he says his name, then abby shoots him, the video is right there

Are you brain damaged? Stop watching the critical drinker and think for yourself. I know you haven't played the game but when Abby says in the clip you posted "you have no idea" (about how lucky she is), it's because she knows it's Joel. So please kys

scary man jumps you in the middle of the road

5 year time jump of community life

girl you saved from zombies

kys kys kys kys kys

He voluntarily stands in the middle of a fucking circle of people he doesn't know retard. He also can't read the silence and tension in the atmosphere immediately after saying his name. They purposely made him stupid so that Cuckmann could have his revenge torture porn simulator.

Another scene from the first game - doesn't even confirm that his name is Joel after meeting another man with a kid. He literally trusts no one retard.
youtu.be/NfOhFZWGRNo?si=KOKL465jPDf_Fetv&t=57

both right and wrong the ambush is because he can see the set up of the cars the placement some "injured" guy conveniently limping towards him at the exact spot he'd be boxed in, making him slow down, as he says soon after he knew it was an ambush because he had done the exact same thing many times. Other then that correct. Of course he got jumped by abby its a completely different situation. They genuinely weren't threatening they had no idea until he says his name, only abby knew what was about to go down so he was surprised.

get a life dude jesus christ, you're sitting here consuming a show based off a property you hate
dont you have anything better to do?
i hope trump makes you work the fields and factories

Sleeping in a tent with Moner edition

imagine the smell in there

He also can't read the silence and tension in the atmosphere immediately after saying his name.

yes he absolutely can he immediately reacts to their change in demenor but its too late 1 second later abby shoots him watch the fucking scene, I played this for the first time last night after hearing for years form idiots like you that it does joel a disservice and I was very surprised to find out the scene makes perfect sense in context.

also as you haven't played the game you are unaware but they all just saved him and tommy, the whole group just ran out and molotov'd the infected saved them both and were by any metric trust worthy because they were they had no tell because they had no idea who they just saved, only abby knows at that point.

the game is retarded but Anon Babbleirgins have gone out of their way to pick apart every little detail even at the cost of being dumb and pedantic, it's like cinemasins for a video game

Are you trolling? Are you really retarded? Not Anon Babble retarded but real life retarded?

Oh really faggot? We are back to that "community made him soft" half assed argument?
WHAT ABOUT ABBY? Abby lived in the WLF base for 4 years, she got time to play with dogs, her own private room, completely free food, a gym and a library full of books. Why doesn't she get soft like Joel you fucking peanut brain?

I've never seen Moner in anything except coomer threads here, so I was pleasantly surprised that she can act. She is much better than the potato. Anyone else?

You are honestly too retarded to have a discussion with. Consider suicide and hope that next life you get more brains.

Its still Tommy that announces their name to the Abby for no fucking reason. Cuckman and you retarded trannies are already lost. The TV show admitted how retarded that whole chain of events was, so based Mazin is fixing it.

Underage lesbian sex. As if people wanting dystopian zombie story wanted this? Hollywood is disgusting.

Anon Babble spent years telling people this game had a terrible story and now HBO watchers are wondering why the story is so bad.

i threw the ball over the fence

it's funny how hot takes from the leaks are still present 5 years later despite the game debunking them. When chuds are talking about tlou they are not talking about the actual games. They talk about the simulacra of tlou, made from the stuff youtubers told them lmao. It's the same with the famous tape (that doesn't exist) that says they had other immune kids like ellie that they've killed to produce a cure and failed. Literally no such thing in the game. The whole thing is really schizophrenic

why didn't the young roidtranny with a revenge boner get soft like the aging guy that just wanted to live in peace with his surrogate daughter after decades of struggle and violence?

a real head-scratcher

I played this for the first time last night after hearing for years form idiots like you that it does joel a disservice and I was very surprised to find out the scene makes perfect sense in context.

Did you actually play it or just watch a 5 min clip on youtube? Joel took down a bloater with Ellie right before the Abby scene. I THOUGHT HE GREW SOFT THOU. Reddit tier cancer.

Is there any chance we see Moner’s tits?

but at least she can act

and you can kys, do it now you sick fuck

monster

kys

PLEASE KYS I CAN'T TAKE YOUR RETARDATION

Uh-oh tranny melty.

You will
NEVER
be a
real woman

Its still Tommy that announces their name to the Abby for no fucking reason.

they have just saved abby's life, they are fighting zombies together and Tommy calls her

Girl!

because he doesn't know her name. He then introduces himself for convenience. Literally why wouldn't he do that? It's the most normal thing to do, especially in circumstances like that. It's never established they use fake names when they meet someone. This is such a dumb criticism but when you're desperate to hate something you will always find "reasons"

idk I'm playing it for the first time as I said, just got out of the tunnels and dina (god I hate her in the game why couldn't she look like moner?) just found out the immunity thing, and we just found out she's preggers stupid bitch. Over all I'm liking the game but I'm already feeling nothing but depression sure i want to kill all those motherfuckers, and thats all the motivation, in the first game it was protect the kid get her to the doctors, a positive goal, I think thats the difference. Also I hate dina bitch keeps getting in the way when I'm trying to stealth kill everyone, Ellie never did that in the first game, fuck game dina she sucks.

you are the one desperately trying to make the white heterosexual male in the story look like a dumbass

Just say you're a chud and move on

Literally why wouldn't he do that?

He doesn't know her retard.

I hated the game Abby and wanted her to die even through the whole hamfisted "uhh but how about you see things from HER perspective" sections
But I think show Abby is a cutie and I want her to survive and succeed and help repopulate humanity. Preferably with me

this but ellie and reversed

no I'm playing it right now dina is pissing me off, she's laying on a bench right now being a sad sack worthless bitch.

stop bullshitting and post the spic's hiney

while I think this is the first thing she's been in i've seen (other than Romulus) she's pretty good in it. Likeable. Might need to lose ~5 pounds.

I never said he grew soft what the fuck? you are talking to more then one anon right now, and no I am playing the og last of us 2, there was no bloater so far

if she's really playing a prophet that's the best fucking casting in the game

it's towards the end that the story becomes a proper shitshow imo

in the show i mean

ok guess I'll find out

proper kino, you mean

Reminder that Hotline Miami canonically exists in TLoU universe.

They should've just harvested Ellie's eggs and did artificial insemination to create a generation of immune people. It's kind of shocking that the Fireflies defaulted to let's-cut-her-head-open when it's clear her immunity isn't just "her brain is resistant to being controlled by the cordyceps" but that her entire immune system is able to prevent the cordyceps from spreading, which is why she isn't full of fungus from the spots where she's been bit. Like I also can't imagine Joel sperging out and going on a massacre spree from hearing "yeah we're going to take one of her ovaries" or some shit instead of "we're gonna make her brains into sashimi to see what's ticking in that thinker."

Sounds autismo but I fucking hate it when major plot events happen over fuckup details that make everything totally senseless in retrospect.

they have 7 episodes this season, why are they wasting time? Ellie and Dina should have been out of Jackson by minute 10. Also Ellie is ugly af in the show it's too distracting.

black wife wears the pants

weaker than an Asian guy

leaves it up to two teenage girls to avenge his murdered brother

Is there a more cucked character on television right now?

How can someone who played Hotline Miami, have that bad of reflexes to be taken out like the asian girl did. That was dumb, like the whole game.

how did the batteries survive for 25 years?

holy shit a 1/1000000000 immune

instead of treating her like a pampered doll so you can take a billion blood samples, skin samples, etc your plan is to kill her for a surgery that you dont even know will reveal how her immunety works

fireflires were just retards, abby's dad was probably a vet larping as a real doctor so he could get food and pussy

I've got a tent for her right here hehehe
*unzips tent*

He gets to pass on his genes

It's clearly plugged in.

Retard

the the headphones

dommy nubian queen wife

Has access to strong and loyal underlings

Sends 2 unruly dykes off to a suicide mission while he makes his town and people safer.

Tommy is BASED.

imagine a potato looking at you like this.

How is that relevant to the batteries staying functional decades later?

Hotline Miami canonically exists in every universe

Are there more of them somewhere?

Cope. Tommy is being done dirty.

Not just dirty, but nasty and stanky too. You just KNOW his negress has fat plump pussy lips.

the same way petrol survived
because it has to for the plot just like in the games lmao

Yeah Ellie wasnt fucking around and pretending to be okay. She just went straight away. Druckmann ate the shit that part 2 was. It got scrambled in his stomach, and then he shat it out again.

"What a goddamn mess we are makin' of things" - Arthur Morgan

Introducing them in episode 3 seems really fucking retarded to me. I guess they're trying to establish what a buncha bad ass dudes the WLF are, but the way the game handled the introduction was WAY better.

what is that face meant to convey?

it would be unhinged for him to go avenge joel. he has a family and a struggling community

there's nothing special about Ellie or Joel as literary creations. the things that make TLOU work are the plot and the setting.

Joel has a Black Wife in the show

Tommy has a Black Wife in the show

both of them have put their tongues inside their juicy hot beautiful assholes

What the fuck Druck?

I guess they're trying to establish what a buncha bad ass dudes the WLF are, but the way the game handled the introduction was WAY better.

it's basically confirmed that Mazin is heavily expanding on the Seraphites and probably the WLF too. "expand" meaning "change a bunch of stuff and add context".

so the game's introduction isn't automatically better because the narrative goals aren't the same in the show. which ought not to be a problem because Part 2 didn't really work and needs to be fixed, but oh well, autists gonna autist.

how many hair styles ellie has in the game?

i dont uderstand ho th fungus works , so the roots in the pipe extend miles and miles underground and called the zomibe horde?

Does the fungus spit out spores in the air?

The Roots are still in the pipes ?

4, I guess.

bad taco or short on agua.

t. Landman Texas

This was the best part in the entire game. I couldn't fucking stand that bitch.

so are normies on team ellie? I thought going after abby is really stupid

The show just isn't good. But I'll keep watching.

the fungus is magic and does what it has to to make the plot work, same as in the games.

we just got it telepathically sending the zombies to attack Jackson last episode. don't bother analyzing it. if the worldbuilding made sense all the human settlements would be on farmable islands.

Spores aren't even a problem in the show. Even in the game, it was weird. I mean, how many spores do you have to breathe? How far does it travel with air? Fuckin bullshit. Just make it transfer through saliva, that's it. And noooooooo its not zombies, its infected or walkers or whatever the fuck.

They really made Joel's death meaningless by having him die at the same time as the Jackson attack, now he's just one of many that died that day.

Yeah, druckmann has some real problem with that character. I mean, Bruce came up with it. I am surprised he didn't make him wear a gimp suit and let him get molested by that therapist.

once again, real game got replaced by simulacrum. Pure schizophrenia. I'm asking you to replay the game or just play it for the first time. Everything is clearly explained - they did tests on ellie and it turned out they need the fungus that grows all over her brain. Removing that fungus would kill her. That's it. I don't know why you insist on talking out of your ass about the whole thing. It's literally in the game spelled out in big letters. Real schizoshit

if the worldbuilding made sense... everyone would make long and dangerous journeys to islands!

b-because they just would okay?!

I was going to root for abby if they didn't make her go with "Oh Joel, you are so sexy" speech. What in Lord's name was even that?

but at least she can act

Really sad how easy normalfags are to impress

cute? that goblin?

Does Ellie know why Abby killed Joel?

Yeah, druckmann has some real problem with that character. I mean, Bruce came up with it.

EVERY TIME

Damn they really changed hammer lady

abby is unrealistic

but hammer lady is okay

cordyceps as depicted in the show is are so fucking lethal that no human settlement would survive without a natural barrier. you definitely couldn't scavenge from cities for 25+ years, they'd rapidly become tombs filled with infected. but then the whole setting and plot and starting point of the story would have to be different.

Dina and Ellie basically have no plan if they happen to meet a bunch of zombies or step on a patch of fungus and draw some to their location. its just handwaved for the sake of the plot and I'm fine with that.

hair styles

can't you read?

Why doesn't she get soft like Joel

Literally the straightforward explicit plot of the game you're pretending you played

I just find it funny how this show extenuates how meticulous and well made the games were.

The games are just a shitty mish mash of Children of Men and The Road with the same generic "what if humans were the real monsters" shit as everything else. You just notice it less when it can hide behind a bunch of video game conventions, putting it on film just exposes it.

Yes, Abby left her speech in written from in Joel's pocket before she left.

Why didn’t they let her wake up first? Joel would have been willing to let her sacrifice herself if it had come from her own mouth, rather than from a bunch of idiots who were messing around with monkeys and weren't even sure if it was going to work. Couldn’t they have waited a little longer? That so-called saint of a doctor, who was busy saving zebras, wasn’t exactly brewing some miracle cure that would go to waste if they waited a day or two. Admit it — Druckmann retconned Part 1.

instead of a combination of Jesus Christ, Conan The Barbarian and your surrogate dad, you mean?

that's not cute at all you tranny, it's ugly af

I'm asking you to replay the game or just play it for the first time.

videogames are for manchildre and the reaction to this franchise has made that all too readily apparent.

I don't know man, they might have mentioned something about being fireflies in the time she was there

he got filtered by the themes of the show

yes, joel is just another death, deal with it.

You have a very lazy thought process

Her accent sounds like dogshit. Only brown foreigners think she sounds okay.

Heres your Levi now. Flying in deep space, bounty hunting.

You just notice it less when it can hide behind a bunch of video game conventions

I'd argue that they notice it less because they wanted to fuck Ellie and "be" Joel. look at how much shitty storytelling BG3 got away with because it let you take off the characters pants. the Japanese figured out the formula decades ago.

This

Shut the fuck up shill.

previously in The Walking Dead

What the fuck is this shit...

Yes lots and they're sick fucks

The show is hoodwinking first time viewers by revealing them as sympathetic, they'll probably be the main antags of S3

it really isn't important that characters get information in the same order as the audience. what matters is that their motivations are internally consistent.

Admit it — Druckmann retconned Part 1.

how else do you interpret the ending of first game other than joel choosing daughter over the whole world? Stop being a schizo, mate. It's been 5 years, you can let go

they said they were going over snoqualmie pass to get to seattle. that is approaching from the east. when they showed the skyline of seattle the were arriving from the south. they are south of the stadiums. someone should get fired for this.

Don't have to, they'll won't have that segment on the show.

seattle clearly had an earthquake that changed things you retard
seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/a-deadly-earthquake-absolutely-positively-will-ravage-seattle-at-some-point-heres-how-to-survive-it/

because unlike jackson the wolves are constantly fighting scars and unable to relax and settle down plus abby is focused the whole time on getting revenge
joel thinks he's finally safe in jackson and can let go. he settles into a dad mode and even tries his best to give ellie space (when she says she's ready to start 2 man patrols)

The fungus rotated the city

that green screen looks awful

that's part of it but there's definitely a books>movies>video games hierarchy on standards for writing quality because the more shit you put around it the less important the plot and dialogue become. Of course this creates a feedback loop with gaming attracting bottom of the barrel retards who gladly eat up even the shittiest stories

Shills are so easy to spot.

yeah the whole notion that Bella "can't carry the show" is based on the fallacious premise that Pedro/Joel carried the show before.

its always been an ensemble cast travelogue story focusing primarily on one main relationship. now its Ellie and Dina. perhaps it will even become Abby and Ellie for a bit at some point.

its tlou 2 game world. you can see the viaduct on the right which is no longer there in real world seattle. it doesnt change the fact that all they had to do was say they were going to follow the columbia river and approach from i-5 northbound

weird that they moved the space needle back to its normal spot for the show even though it's on the seraphite peninsula in the game

The game is undoubtedly written better
doesn't mean it was written well, the show is just that bad by comparison

what about the tape? They included something like this in the game to make you think the doctors are hacks who don't know what they're doing? Does it sound like that to you?

"April 28th. Marlene was right. The girl's infection is like nothing I've ever seen. The cause of her immunity is uncertain. As we've seen in all past cases, the antigenic titers of the patient's Cordyceps remain high in both the serum and the cerebrospinal fluid. Blood cultures taken from the patient rapidly grow Cordyceps in fungal-media in the lab... however white blood cell lines, including percentages and absolute-counts, are completely normal. There is no elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and an MRI of the brain shows no evidence of fungal-growth in the limbic regions, which would normally accompany the prodrome of aggression in infected patients.

We must find a way to replicate this state under laboratory conditions. We're about to hit a milestone in human history equal to the discovery of penicillin. After years of wandering in circles, we're about to come home, make a difference, and bring the human race back into control of its own destiny. All of our sacrifices and the hundreds of men and women who've bled for this cause, or worse, will not be in vain. "

from this angle that would also be the duwamish river and there is a draw bridge over it

HACKS

Her... General American accent? What the fuck are you talking about?

books have more options because you can describe anything you want.
but really it's not a hierarchy: games are just worse at storytelling because gameplay is almost always a distraction from drama. Druckmann was never going to make a "revenge bad" story work when Ellie has to kill 100 people to satisfy the action game standards, and all the branching path shit in BG3 just made it a worse story than the more linear BG1 and 2.

all the whining about the show changing things belies the fact that it really is much more likely to tell the story properly than the game ever was just because it can actually focus on the story. Mazin did a pretty spectacular job in season 1 and so far season 2 is just as strong, I'm very impressed.

what was even the point of the cult massacre? felt completely disjointed and random like they were fanservicing the gamers or something

Mel is the true villain of TLOU2

to show you that wlf is formidable and also general setting for seattle - two factions at war

to make the seraphites seem like victims who are only fighting the wolves because they were forced to

how did a seraphite cult form in 25 years? dont the adults remember the religions from before? they all abandoned jesus christ?

the seraphites are a weird cult and if we saw them first through the WLF's eyes the "no side is good" themes they're going for wouldn't land.

Who was the actress that played Constance? she reminded me of Debbie from Shameless I want to know if she's related to that actress, but imdb is no help.

and master tracker ellie determined it was for sure the wlf by looking at shell casings? lmao this is so ham-fisted

and master tracker ellie determined it was for sure the wlf by looking at shell casings?

timestamp?

hasn't it been 30 years? an entire generation after the end.

you're coming off desperate and didnt even watch the episode

Makena Whitlock you sick fuck

BEAKMAN BROS we eating good tonight

Makes the WLF look evil before season 3 where we'll discover that the Seraphites are actually way worse

youre coming off as a game fanboy who is telling themselves the creators can do no wrong

are we even getting more abby this season? theatre final episode perhaps?

that didn't actually happen. Ellie just concluded they weren't FEDRA.
the WLF doing it was a theory that made sense to Ellie because her and Dina have a motivation to see Abby's group as soulless monsters. you missed the character development, go play Super Mario or something.

How will the show handle the not so subtle Israel/Palestine allusions in the current climate?

yeah a theory she pulled completely out of her ass which was my point entirely. you sound like cuckman in the after show trying to tell the audience what they are watching instead of letting them form their own opinions. which is, it sucked. we already know what they think of abby. game fanboy service is all it was

that isnt even what happened in the episode you retard

calls other game fanboys

has clearly played the game

isnt even watching the show and is making up crap

When your at a sleep over with that friend.

Incel

at least she can act

And I thought this board had standards

your claim that it was "ham fisted" meant that you either didn't understand the self-aware point the writing was making about Ellie, or think the writing is best served by making Ellie some kind of sherlock holmes autists who never makes wrong deductions based on emotion. both are stupid conclusions to reach. you're not smarter than the guy who wrote Chernobyl.

Moner sounds like a fucking man from smoking so many cigs. Disgusting spic goblin

Can we have one fucking post apocalypse show without some weird ass cult in it? It's so fucking played out

coming from the east you can either
1. go around lake washington to the north and go south
2. go around lake washington to the south and go north
3. cross one of two bridges across lake washington

its very likely that the bridges are impassible by this time so they picked door #2

religion is what binds together people who aren't family, it's how the human species evolved
a cult enables you to actually be able to trust the other people in the cult to provide and protect for you

I mean, it's the US. they have enough cults for a post-apocalypse show even without the world ending. what do you think people are going to do after an apocalypse, start suddenly making rational decisions?

yeah from their perspective in that screenshot they looks like they're coming up rt 99 rather than i5

Snoqualmie you say?

Right, they'd literally be standing in the Puget Sound in order to get this skyline, it's not possible

Still makes no sense to approach the city from that direction instead of following I5 or through the neighborhoods in Rainier Beach along the lake.

i think there will be some wlf scenes with her before she met lev and yara. There was something in one of the trailers that suggested that

Her hair has zero volume.

then you know the arboretum is near the UW which is north seattle and the 520 bridge. why would there be trail sign pointing to the arboretum east of the bridges? this would imply they went around the north side but some how approached from the south?

I don't know if it's Bella's acting or the writing or what, but show Ellie is so unlikable. She doesn't feel mature at all. Game Ellie actually felt like she grew up in LoU2, and was hurt and vengeful. Show Ellie just feels like a brat. Dina's great, Tommy's great, Ellie just kinda sucks.

it's simple. you are a lookist in your media consumption.

Americans have an ear for the American accent.

actually it would be like southpark. the river there would be duwamish river and that crossing should be the 1st ave bridge which is a draw bridge

right, it doesn't make any real world sense but its just a tv show

seattle is "that way" to the left

but somehow

puget sound is "the other way" to the right along with the arboretum somehow

She just did the cell phone battery mod

the town meeting scene was stupid. I hate this show and everything it's trying to do.

Why can't chuds form an argument?

It's a lot to do with her looking the same, they probably started filming right when season 1 ended, and they want us to buy that it's been 5 years, but did nothing to mature her looks.

glad to hear it. enjoy the rest of the season.

democracy is... le bad!!!

many such cases

well even though i am being critical for no reason (i know its just a tv show). it says puget trail and seattle trail, neither of which exist

Jeffrey Wright is gonna carry this cringe fest. He's one of the top GOATED actors of recent times, Druckman can't possibly mess him up. He's gonna carry the show until the end of season.

Why did Ellie accept the bigot rifle and bigot horse?

i took that to mean "puget sound is that way" and "seattle is that way" but who knows

because both her and the bigot are driven by hate

Dina is doing it right now
I hope you're right

his character dies

FUCK THIS THE SHOW SUCKS NOW BELLA WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CARRY IT

That's insanely far from the view they're getting

I love that the show has created a situation where there is no way for chuds to agree with anything that happens even if it consists of a character looking at the camera and making a speech which exactly duplicates their worldview and values.

jeffrey wright dies late in the game

lookist

Get a load of this fucking faggot.

It has nothing to do with her looks you whiny faggot. It's how she's acting. She's still acting like S1 Ellie when she's supposed to be a brooder.

the therapist is also dogshit, like with most adaptations the tv writers add some dumb shit which sucks

Isaac barely has screen time. He's in the beginning of Abby's section, then next time he shows up he dies.

K drama anon. it's the medium for you.

Gail fucking sucks, why was she created for this show? All she does is spell out the themes for the viewer.

yes I'm anticipating the response here after enough anons adopt him as their surrogate father figure. the Joel cycle repeating with no one having grown up or learned anything.

the therapist literally spells out for you why she's bad
do you people watch this while braindead and drugged or something

she's supposed to be a brooder.

I literally think Mazin just recognized that making Ellie into nuJoel was a stupid idea and decided to keep more of her varied emotional responses from the first game and Druckmann was like "yes daddy call me if you need me for a podcast".

if you think about it for more than three seconds you'll realize that letting Dina and Ellie be cute occasionally will help keep the story watchable.

I'll explain how Anons think regarding this IP

different from game = bad

the same as game = bad

WTF they actually did this meme? But made him a homophobe?

niggas in this thread be like

you have to care about them correctly orienting the view of Seattle!

bro I don't care if Seattle slides into the sea to be forever lost beneath the waves

she's bad in a shouldn't be in the show way i don't give a shit if she wants to smoke blunts and get drunk all the time plus i skipped her shit baseball scene after like 10 seconds because it was retarded

and that's why I think the Great Depression will be fixed by killing all the Jews and Blacks, eyyup

THIS

you can put a disney park at the left and I won't give a fuck

It's a collection of infected bodies that are merged together after being trapped and isolated in a hospital basement for a long time.
In the game it's basically just a Bloater with other uncoordinated bodies piled onto it against their will- in the show it could make a bit more sense with the tendril hivemind thing, making it function as a single entity instead of a pile of conjoined twins

It is admittedly goofy, inspired by God of War and Bloodborne bosses, and afterward Abby says "no one will fucking believe this" and never mentions it again

le seattle bad because muh right wing twitter account says so

IT'S MA'AM!

Yes dumbass because they are Actively growing the same cordyceps in a blood sample that's the same in her brain and spinal fluid.

It makes zero fucking sense. Also the whole game basically shows you that fireflies are fucking useless. But we will just ignore that. Because "doctor said a lot of medical words".

Abby says "no one will fucking believe this" and never mentions it again

well, that's the amount of character development the game's fans are comfortable with.

the people are largely shithead, but the city itself and its environs are kino
t. lived here 15 years

So what do they eat in Seattle? Where do they get gas, lubricant, spare parts, machinery and anything really to have a big (for the post-apocalypse) army.

is her face getting smaller or something?

It's a solid theory, FEDRA was established by the government and would have standardised equipment, so she could rule FEDRA out. The WLF are an independent paramilitary unit and essentially scavengers. Highly organised scavengers but scavengers nonetheless who operate with whatever they can get their hands on.

Reddit. It’s the medium for you.

the same place everyone else in the setting gets stuff which hasn't been manufactured for 30 years: Neil Druckmann's ass.

they take whatever they want from the Leaf Republic to the north

You think moner already cheated on Ellie to get pregnant by the Asian dude so Ellie has to raise an infidelity baby

What's with all the Druckmann hate? Is it the jew thing? Israeli thing?

Does hbo really need to dumb down their video game adaptations?

But left wing Seattle news programs even say Seattle is shit

Yeah that's why she said she got back together with him

it's to make it so the 3 month time gap lines up with her only realizing she's pregnant while already on the quest.
plus she had PTSD and used his penis as an antidepressant.

Hi Neil

there is literally vegetation growing everywhere

/shc/ - Seattle hiking routes and culture general

The show is even worse then, Abby goes on a spiel for like 5 minutes before shooting him. Game Joel would've murdered that entire room by then

he also would have been unharmed by the shotgun blast owing to having scavenged some armour from a concealed safe in an earlier level. and that's assuming he wasn't using cheat codes, which... gets moved to Anon Babble

Bella is quite a distracting creature.

Yea she's doing really well

In the game they farm and raise animals in a baseball stadium that also serves as the army's base/training center.

It's always funny/weird to me when I finally watched something that has one of Anon Babble's actress fus in it. Like I see them get posted all the time but often never actually see them in anything so the first time I do it's always a little strange. This has happened to me with a bunch of Anon Babble actresses.
You're crazy she's perfectly fine

He killed Anon Babble's virtual flannel wearing coffee drinking Texan dad

So is this thread full of TLOU part 2 enjoyers who dislike the tv shows direction or are you guys the same seethers from 2020?

It's been 5 years man, let it go

The show often trends on twitter on Sunday nights when a new episode premieres. This episode didn't trend. I wonder if it's because a ton of people dropped it after pro golf?

Gods I hope so

bot the seraphites and the wolves have massive fields and animals

It's the same contrived grifter outrage that Rian Johnson got for The Last Jedi.

twitter is gay and for conservative boomers

show Abby is a cutie and I want her to survive and succeed and help repopulate humanity. Preferably with me

Based. I will infect myself with cancer and then contact the make a wish foundation and have them force Dr Uckman to make your dream come true

Tlou2 sucks
The show executes it even worse

So what you're saying is instead of killing her they should have just made her a breeding sow?

are you guys the same seethers from 2020?

Are you mentally ill trannies still out of touch with reality and can't look up reviews that tell you the majority of viewers hate the show? Especially season 2? Your propaganda isn't fooling anyone.

Oh shit nigga what are you doing ? Download 265 ELITE

ah excuse me normies clearly hate it and my favorite yt faggot said it was bad what is wrong with you?

fuck right off you fucking normie faggot, is your argument really that plebs hate it? really thats what you've got? go back

why don't you guys just agree with the plebs?

you need to go back

Same audience that likes Minecraft movie? Dumb bitch audience mean nothing

CHICKEN JOCKEY

Based autist anon

stupid child go the fuck back

Never played the game, don’t like the show.

you people won with trump, why cant you finally be at peace? you're still obsessing over a video game from FIVE YEARS AGO

you fuck off too, you stupid faggot none of you should be here whining about what normies think whining about your political party, go the fuck away, we are talking about a tv show.

I like the therapist. Her being an alcoholic and pothead and making snide remarks is fun. The only part I didn't like was when she was womansplaining to Joel or when she was complaining about him killing her husband

literally nothing happened in the episode

i think tlou2 is a masterpiece and the show disgusts me because they're ruining key factors for no reason. plus they made ellie the ugliest creature alive who can't even act

my rss downloader just fetches the first WEB-DL that comes out.

Ellie and Dina literally traveled a thousand miles.

she's even better when you realize she's the same character from Home Alone

The only part I didn't like was when she was womansplaining to Joel or when she was complaining about him killing her husband

she was being honest and using that to try to get joel to be honest and heal himself
normally a therapist shouldn't have any involvement with their client, but that's not possible under the circumstances
she was addressing head on her problem with joel by admitting to it and not pretending it's not an issue, but still trying to be empathetic and helpful to him

If I could fall into the sky...

What? I watched the aftershow thing, and even the creator of the series said people are complicated and even bigots can have positive qualities. That's hardly a standard woke viewpoint.

Do you think time would pass me by?

you live in some weird fantasy world

damn she really hit the wall

Joel: Do you have any idea what it's like to lose a child?
Gail: *looks at camera*

Kek

Shit on bella all you want, she kissed and hugged Anon Babble's waifu and you didn't

people cross their eyes when they're disoriented right? i'll do that!

it's basically confirmed that Mazin is heavily expanding on the Seraphites and probably the WLF too. "expand" meaning "change a bunch of stuff and add context".

Because that worked out so well last time for the human antagonists in the episodes adapting with Pittsburgh (wasn't it Kansas City or something in the show?)

No way that can feed them all. But do they have a mill to process grains for flour? I don't know why Americans think all you need to survive the apocalypse is an AR-15 and a vegetable garden.
