So anyway, I hate dogs

Stalkers don't make any sense, the fungus is supposed to take control over your body and make you go crazy, stalkers are intelligent enough to hide and flank and shit, as if a fungus can be intelligent. also what causes an infection to create a stalker instead of a normal runner?

In the games it goes:
Runner -> Stalker -> Clicker -> Shambler (if in a wet/moist area) or Bloater -> Fungal wall growth/Spores

Stalkers aren't all that special in the lore of the game.
The tv show doesn't really care about the infection timeline.

so anyway, Joel was right to do what he did and the fireflies are faggots and Abby is a tranny

imagine watching that ending with nora and thinking she's not ellie

I think i remember in the game they mention that the stalker phase is really short so that's why they're rare to come by, did i imagine that?

so anyway, I've already jerked off 3 times today

she's not ellie she's nora. silly anon.

so anyway, I started blasting

you have issues, mental issues ones that you should see a professional about. Because of that whole being an edgy teenager with a fear of mans best friend.

None of the Infected make any sense given the "scientific explanation" for it. Not even the normal zombies (Runners).
Real Cordyceps doesn't make ants go bite and infect other ants, all it does is make the ant climb to a certain height on a plant that's good for releasing spores.

I love a culturally degraded uglier version of a game that was already average in the zombie genre.
yep,I do.

So anyway, I love Dina

claiming actors are good in proportion to the degree anons want to fuck them is the standard critical approach on this site.

I didn't know professional hater was a career
Pretty good video unironically

They did a decent job with the Nora kill scene, but it's a sudden, jarring shift in tone and demeanor for Ellie when that's merely the 2nd non-infected person she has killed in Seattle, and how she's been behaving with Dina

*SQUITCH SQUITCH SQUITCH SQUITCH SQUITCH*

The wikia says:
Runner < 2 weeks
Stalker 2 weeks to 1 years
Clicker 1 year+

Which is retarded because 90% of the enemies you fight in TLOU are runners. Even in the first game Stalkers (before they become a miniboss) are only in like 3 places total.

the environment and time, mushrooms grow well in a darkish dank wet environment but not too much some heat but not too much humid dark environment is best for fungi. Evolves as needed, if the driving goal of the fungi is to infect then having some evolve into stalkers makes sense.

Season 2 fans, anyone else finding their friends and family just... not watching?
I am struggling to get them to continue, but they don't have any criticisms, it's not like online where incels rage about Bella... they just don't want to. Does anyone know how I can convince them to continue? There is only 2 episodes

I didn't know professional hater was a career

449 subs isn't a career.

My brother stopped watching after Joel died because
"Ellie is a bitch and fucking ugly".
He was right.

my brother actually stopped watching because he said YOU were ugly.
I pointed out you weren't in the show but he was very insistent.

I don't really hate dogs, it's just that the neighbors have really loud dogs that bark late at night and it fucks with my sleep. They don't take them on walks so they're permanently stressed and barking.

could you fuck off with this shit? its tiresome, seriously fuck off

she was very fuckable when she started bashing nora with a pipe

Cailee is too old to play Ellie desu

Bella Ramsey already has a cartoon series based on her life in the works

Haters just can't stop SEETHING
youtube.com/watch?v=3JOdfqQHd48

Gosh I wish that were me

Does anyone know how I can convince them to continue?

you can't make people like what you like.

My brother hasn't kept up with the latest 2 episodes even though he was excited for S2. He did play the games btw and liked them.

Originally clickers were the ONLY form of infected. Bruce Straley thought the enemy variety was lacking so he and his team came up with runners, stalkers, and bloaters last minute and put them all in the game in the last 8 months of development.

Stalkers are just a video game enemy to add variety and they don't really make much sense when you think about it but they are cool so it's ok

lmao

Maybe tell them that the next episode will be mostly or entirely Joel flashbacks, if his absence is their main reason for dropping it

yea so go tell off your neighbors for not taking care of their pets right. don't go spouting shit about dogs.

So the whole mushroom zombie apocalypse was just a bad dream? Or is it alternate universe/timetravel shit

I hate dog owners, not necessarily dogs. I understand it’s not the dog’s fault it’s a little shit, but it’s still a little shit at the end of the day.

this doesnt make any sense, wouldn't every(or almost every) infected be a bloater according to this? the outbreak was 20 years ago

That sounds like total bs.
Do you have a source?

What are you? PETA? Calm down dog police

yeah I'm really glad I quit games lol

Ya it doesn’t really make sense. E.g. the people stuck in the basement. Those things have been alive and intact for 25 years without food or water?

don't talk shit to me or my wife's dog ever again (the dog is a labrador and fucks my wife on the daily btw)

Bloaters were probably super common at some point (maybe 5-10 years into the infection) but bloaters eventually become the wall growth spore emitting shit that you see everywhere.

The real question is why the Ratking exists and why it isn't just wallgrowth down in the hospital basement

trvke

don't say weird shit about liking to kill dogs you weirdo.

yfw

yfw.jpg - 1000x667, 186.1K

another sub 8/10 on imdb

so that wall growth is the basement they showed in the last episode was dissolved bloaters? (for lack of a better term)

jealous of a dog

I mean bro, their is insecure and then their is you

the question is how come you can kill dogs but can't shoot jewish symbols in the game? is a bronze david star worth more than a life?

Probably. That's how it is in the game anyway.

i'm sure you can mod it now that it's on pc.

the people have spoken, and they're still really surprised that Ellie is gay and Joel is dead.

theres way too much pandering to the gamers instead of trying to tell a cohesive story. s2 is a fucking mess

Well at least you can also kill the IDF-equivalent soldiers in the game, in a variety of brutal ways

I like killing dogs just as much as I like killing people (in videogames)

see this is that faux lame edgy thing I was talking about earlier, you should work on that.

so if i understood correctly, the park is between WLF territory and another WLF territory (the hospital)? so Scars are surrounded?

Though still a 1.3 point significant improvement over last week

You can rest easy knowing I only do it here

If she could play a little boy in Devs she could have pulled off 14 yr old Ellie

I sure hope so buddy

scars don't live in the park

so why were they there and WLF won't enter?

It could have been a park with more than 2 entrances

Alrighty fella!

its thematic. the Scars represent nature like the Ewoks and spawn in forested areas, just like the cordyceps normally only spawn inside.

They have a homebase called Haven that is miles away from Seattle downtown and they send in soldiers to kill WLF.
I have no idea why the WLF would know they're in the park.
Maybe they're just worried about visibility in a dense forest?

It's possible that the Scars' home has been shifted to a park or forest or something, because the island is too much of a Gaza parallel and the show is trying to avoid that stuff.

what is the cause of the war?

repulsive

What's the best video editing program to make webms with?

Some poorly written allegory for the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Napster

The current conflict is because the WLF shot a bunch of kids who were carrying guns.
They had a truce for a few years prior to that and at some point the WLF killed the Scar's prophet.
Who knows why the original conflict happened. I dunno if the game ever answers that.

I use Shutter Encoder's VP9 function.

The original conflict was due to FEDRA being removed from Seattle and leaving a power/territory vacuum. WLF and Seraphites both simply want full control over the city and for the other side to fuck off

Webm for lazies, made by a Anon Babbleman. Google it

It's in the "official last of us podcast" on Spotify that came out around the time tlou2 released. If you're a fan of the games it's a very good listen

Anon Babble now supports normal mp4 files, if that's any help.

i dropped this show in the middle of the third episode, I miss anything or is it still shit

This bald bitch will star in Naughty Dog's next game

Did she fuck Neil or something?

she raped him

if you played the games you've already seen the better version of the story.

put a wig on her and she'd be smoking hot

Runner < 2 weeks

But there were a gorillion of these to attack the settlement after 20 years because…?

the game and the show don't have the same lore.

The last 2 episodes have been an improvement, with more action. Ep 3 was by far the worst one, with the worst changes to the source material turning it into a chore to sit through

The game still has huge hordes of frozen/dormant Infected in the mountains around Jackson and Abby gets chased by them

that horde are i the game though, attacking Abby, they just dont go to Jackson

i think anon meant the 3rd overall episode, not season 2 episode 3

Funny how TLOU has strong history on both Anon Babble and Anon Babble now.

Oh yeah the Bill/Frank thing.
Well at least the show hasn't done anything like that again
(s2 e6 will be full of flashbacks, but all Joel and Ellie-centric ones)

they combined all the flashbacks into one episode? sounds stupid.

Oh I hadn't watched the series, if what they call Haven is in the park then I guess is right and they moved it from the island.

Yes, that's what it looks like.
Well maybe not all of them, it would be a fuckup to give us the front porch flashback with the

I would do it all over again

right now instead of at the very end, in another season or two.
But it seems like we are getting all the other Joel/Ellie flashbacks, and whatever new thing they are doing with Eugene, in the next one.

Eugene having to be put out of his misery after being infected being what triggers Ellie's survivor's guilt and causes friction between her and Joel is actually a smart change, as opposed to "oh no these two random teenagers we never met before died how sad a bloo bloo"

I'm also really excited for Joey Pants in the role. Did Ellie ever question why Eugene was on the Matrix poster on her wall?

What the hell is this insufferable girlboss galore? Literally no one believes that in zombie apocalypse world middle-aged women are going to lead every society. It's impossible to suspend my disbelief watching this dogshit.

I think if they were gonna have Ellie play 'future days' (stupid since this song shouldn't exist) then they should have had her play it a bunch of times throughout the season, then we find out through flashbacks at the end of this season that it's the song Joel taught her, which would retroactively make those scenes more meaningful. But by the looks of it, she played it episode 5 and episode 6 we're gonna have it explained. total shitshow.

Not every society is female-led.

David

Isaac

Tommy

Large Rattler who punches Lev

everyone at the top of the FEDRA command structure

Did writers forget Ellie is supposed to be consumed with revenge and grief? She and Dina are acting like they're out for a walk in a park. Like this is just some adventure for them. How is the writing so much worse than in the game?

Chuds are seething that the latest episode didn't have any embarrassing frames to nitpick and bully a girl over.

Get rekt.

stupid since this song shouldn't exist

lmao and the writers straight up said this was the reason Joel didn't perform Future Days on the season premiere, because the shift to 2003 would delete the song from the show's universe.
And yet Ellie starts playing it anyway...

they did take a walk in the park tho

Show is wack. Game has a much darker tone in Seattle. The show makes it seem like they are on a vacation. Also, Ellie is supposed to be consumed with revenge to the point of it destroying her. Instead the show has "I'm going to be a dad" and "You love me?!"

Game has spores from the beginning to explain continued infections. Also, timeline isn't absolute per the lore

Game has 10x better acting, tone, and the gameplay loop is enjoyable

that's what happens when you don't have a strong lead.

In the game it makes sense because Nora both confesses to Joel's death tormenting her but also does it to taunt Ellie. This catches Ellie off-guard and she moves in to pistol whip Nora, allowing her to toss some stuff at Ellie and start running

is the show gynocentric

as opposed to "oh no these two random teenagers we never met before died how sad a bloo bloo"

Good thing the game has at least two other flashbacks that explain of Ellie reigniting the whole issue with Joel taking her from that hospital

They're doing it because Ellie/Dina are way out of their depth and have no idea what they're getting into. Their semi-cheerful attitude is to be contrasted with tragedies that are yet to occur.

Or at least that's my guess. We'll see how good the execution will be, show's diverging quite significantly from the game in therms of character portrayal

What did you expect from the same guy who inserted a fictional girlboss into Chernobyl?

inserted a fictional girlboss into Chernobyl

She's a composite character and if there's one thing that you can give soviets for, it's their pretty egalitarian approach to men and women making a career in science

So no Tommy revenge tour? Not even a little snippet?

210555480

reddit spacing

actual HBO shill talking point from back when the show was airing

lmao

memes aside, did this show's viewership really tank? Writing is significantly worse this season and Ramsey cannot carry the show at all.

How do you claim "reddit spacing" on a single sentence. Also gj falling for a literal psyop

Ellie is going to be full revenge mode after killing Nora

It's fine, it's functional, but the Finding Strings argument being triggered by two nobodies the player has no investment in isn't that interesting. Assuming the next episode is good and we see Eugene and Gail's relationship and it all lands that argument could be even more hard hitting since the audience will be more invested in Ellie's guilt

Why did they make it a point of removing spores from the universe just to add it in the second season

I wonder if the cast and crew of this show have any self awareness or realization that a fucking video game has better quality acting from mo-cappers and voice actors than their own professional acting "skills." I mean honestly if I was bella ramsay and actually honestly played through the games and then compared and contrasted them to my own performance, it would be genuinely embarrassing to see how amateurish this production is.

What's even the point of this shit? A cinematic video game is already an improvement of the format of a television show, giving the person watching / playing actual interaction with the characters and story in a way that a tv show can never capture. So what is the point in downgrading these games to a tv show format? It's one thing to adapt a book to television or film, because with a book your imagination is really what brings it to life as you read it, how you perceive the characters, how they talk, how they look, how they act it's all based on the writing and interpreted by the reader. With this though, we already know what the characters look like, how they act, and there's a ton more "acting" both dialogue and story in a video game like TLOU1 / 2 than anything in this tv show, since you have to dumb down the format to fit a 45 minute episode.

I just don't get it, anyone can play TLOU2 and get a much better experience than wasting your time watching this. You could finish the game in a few days and get a much better experience, instead they are stretching out this story over 2 "seasons" of 7 episodes lol, what a waste of time.

Problem is she only has 1 more episode to display this (in Seattle).

"Future Days" exists in this universe where the world ended in 2003 even though it wasn't released until 2013

spot on

25 years of a fungus apocalypse

Spores just show up in the hospital at the right time

They did not want Pedro Pascal to wear a gas mask. Only reason. Then they shoehorn it in for the Nora scene.

memes aside, did this show's viewership really tank?

no evidence of that
tommy came with Jessie

This show would be legitimately unwatchable without moner. I hope she gets picked up for some lead projects after this

it's for non-gamers.

You could finish the game in a few days and get a much better experience, instead they are stretching out this story over 2 "seasons" of 7 episodes lol

with two years break in between lol

In season 1 it was probably because they didn't want Pascal having to put on a mask and sound all muffled each time he encountered Infected indoors (which rarely happened anyway).
Who knows why they brought it back in season 2. They easily could have modified Nora's death so it didn't require spores. Or why not make greater use of them and keep the Ellie-Dina immunity reveal more faithful to the game, instead of Ellie getting yet another conspicuous bite on her arm

it was all a dream

"hey kiddo"

kino ending. Im thinking of checking out now so I dont ruin my experience watching further episodes

2 years, seriously? wtf is happening with television production these days? Used to be shows could pump out 20+ episode seasons every year. Now these production companies can barely handle 8 episode seasons every 2 years.

wtf is happening with television production these days?

they need meetings to discuss meetings which discussed statistics from previous meetings.

The story about it not filming until next year was according to Moner making a guess.
However, it's possible that she was actually talking about her season 4 material on the farm (if that's what they're doing). Since if they're closely following the structure of the game, then Dina would be almost completely absent from season 3 and would have only one or two scenes in the theater, which she may have already shot

2 years, seriously?

yes. Third season starts shooting in 2006

i obviously meant 2026

farm + santa barbara that's at best 2 episodes. They are not gonna make a whole season out of it

They never release numbers but barely anyone is discussing it anywhere. Not even to mock it. So make of that what you will.

Only two episodes left

Are they really going to roll with Abby's perspective next season when the audience doesn't even know her?

7 episode season

non of the episodes are feature length

I think their budget got slashed and theyre seeing whether they continue. Wouldnt be surprised this gets plug pulled

this. It needs 2b to break even and 2,5b to make a profit. They are cancelling it in two more weeks

look this cope lmao, season 3 will be 2 years minimum like every other premium hbo show

They could if they wanted to. Here's my by-the-numbers, overly straightforward outline which stretches the epilogue to 6

Ellie and Dina on the farm gets a whole episode

Abby and Lev traveling, contacting Fireflies and then getting captured is an episode

Ellie's journey to Santa Barbara gets an episode, something noteworthy happened on the way, instead of the game's time jump basically teleporting her there

some sort of standalone flashback episode, if Bill/Frank and Eugene have made it a tradition to do that every season

Fighting her way through the Rattlers is another episode

Finale is finding/fighting Abby and then arriving back at the empty farm

Though if HBO is unhappy with season 2's reception and viewership then they really should do a lengthier season 3 and wrap it up there

having 7 episodes was a decision from Mazin to break the game's story like that and the budget is clearly bigger than it was in first season. Unsubscribe that reddit board, mate

god fedra is so based

the budget is clearly bigger than it was in first season

doesnt look like this at all. unless jeffrey wright's 2 minute scene about pans cost 100m

Your posts reeks of seethe

No shit. This is supposed to be a "premium" show? Could have fooled me.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was the best actor eve-

Alanna.jpg - 1080x1080, 770.23K

the budget is clearly bigger than it was in first season

Only "big budget" scene is the pointless zombie horde scene at Jackson

bigger and better sets, much more infected, episode 2. Budget per ep in s2 is definitely bigger

Where most of them didn't even have any kind of zombie makeup or even dirty clothes lmao

Literally every actor they introduced in this show is better than Bella Ramsey.

The Jackson infected battle on ep 2 is the main thing. Season 1 didn't do anything on that scale and had some obviously downgraded and cheapened parts compared to the game, like how Joel just gets stabbed instead of falling on the rebar

when will we see her again

Episode 7 and all of season 3

just watched Sicario for Moner
didn't know it was also an old man+teen girl adventure kino

AI post. Reddit really is all astroturfing

not sure what you watched but it wasn't Sicario

I literally just 5 minutes ago finished watching this ep and came here for the express purpose of talking about how unconvincing and completely unmenacing she was in that scene

This is the best Ellie kill in the game and it's embarrassing watching these hacks try to adapt it.

nora death.webm - 852x480, 3.27M

Nora's actress was actually pretty good in this scene.

i was watching Ted literally right after rewatching Euphoria and i didn't recognize her. Found out from credits

hey kiddo

LOST connection confirmed

hk.jpg - 1906x1080, 183.07K

is it racist of me that i remembered her being bald in the game as well?

another filler episode wtf what Tlou 2 game this bad?

make a game that most people hate

then adapt it into a show that even fans of the game are divided on

damn druckmann is having a rough go these last few years

you're probably thinking of intergalactic which is with the same actress

No. At least the game was enjoyable to play and the tone matched the story. The game did inject a lot of leftist ideology into a zombie apocalypse and the ending was bad, but was a masterpiece compared to the show.

Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado was Moner's second big movie role after Transformers 5 (lmao).
It's an ok watch but kind of only 2/3rds of the movie it should be, it just stops instead of doing the third act that you think it's building up to

i don't know what intergalactic is so i'll assume not.

make a game that most people hate

don't make me post it, chud

Fuck dogs. Man's most servile cuck. They're loud, dirty, obnoxious, intrusive, need, dangerous animals. They smell like shit, need constant upkeep and attention, whine and moan like fuckin' retarded children that never grow up. Dog owners and insecure faggots that need the constant validation from some shitty, third-tier predator. Dogcucks are the most vile, maladjusted faggots imaginable.

It's also possible you're remembering seeing her as the villain in the shitty Uncharted movie.

Why does the show feel like they are just 2 little girls going on a random road trip? It made me realize how ridiculous the idea of 2 girls going across a zombie infested country and infiltrating heavily armed military and cult bases to get revenge on one person is. Why is it that when I played the game it felt more believable? Does TLOU just not work in a tv format?

tlou.jpg - 1280x719, 130.27K

I mean look how clean their clothes are
that t-shirt's been recently ironed

My version of Ellie was running and hiding, popping people in the head with a rifle, diving into bushes, stabbing people in the back, setting explosive traps, luring them into infected, etc. That's how they should be approaching this shit. Not running into buildings with barely a concept of a plan then running out.

Ellie was a major miscast and Dina is too made up. The writing is too focused on their romance and not the story of revenge

Ellie and Dina aren’t womanlets in the game, for one thing

Game Ellie is hardened beyond her years, and in Part 2 is acting like a depressed and subdued 30-something, even before Joel's death.
Show Ellie forgot to even do a time jump and is still acting like an immature, impulsive, jubilant 14 year old.

I think in the game by the time they realized what's going on they were already in the thick of it and there's no going back, in the show they realize almost immediately they've entered some civil war shit but choose to keep going regardless which make every move seem stupid.

I like Bellas acting, yeah she's ugly but she's good

she looks weird in stills. In the show she looks allright like 90% of the time

gets absolutely bodied by abby later

lmao

reddit screenshot

It does looks ridiculous. These are supposed to be hardened veterand survivors but they look like two high school girls.

I haven't watched a television show or film in years

Game Ellie...

very likely desu

both of them are cocky and overconfident

Why? Nothing in the show so far has demonstrated to us that Ellie and Dina are somehow expert zombie killing machines kek

WILL WE GET THE BOAT SCENE??
That's all I want

She’s hilarious on Ted

Hey guys.

_00.png - 1024x675, 848.08K

seeing how episode 6 is gonna be all flashbacks, i don't see how episode 7 is gonna have Ellie killing the rest of her friends and the pregnant woman in one episode, but we'll see. speaking of which do you think they're gonna have her kill the dog as well?

all of you would

I don’t think they’re gonna include the pregnant girl in the story desu

with curly hair she kinda looks like my mom

Nothing in the show so far has demonstrated to us that Ellie and Dina are somehow expert zombie killing machines kek

literally episode 1 of s2. In the first season meeting a clicker was a massive deal. Now they have so much experience they are taking them out casually

Clickers in season 1 are oh shit we are about to die enemies

S2: lol a few clickers are nothing

They will rush through it. Have you not been watching the show? They literally rush so fast through important parts that they feel soulless and not impactful at all.

Didn't wanted to have dear Pedro to wear a mask, that's the real reason "muh it wasn't realistic!" my fucking ass

Only Ellie looks better in the game. The brown girl is some ugly jewess and abby is troonmaxxed.

i hope so. Fucking hate dogs

Really it's just Owen and Mel left because they cut her friend group in half.
Manny is killed by Tommy during Abby's section.
Episode 7 will mainly be dedicated to getting to wherever Owen and Mel are and taking them out.
Then in the last 10 minutes they'll arrive back at the theater and Abby will show up, shoot Jesse/Tommy and cut to black.

but masks are his thing

They did it just for the Nora scene kek

They won't have her kill the dog because that would have everyone go NOOO NOT THE HECKIN PUPPERINO and make Ellie too unlikeable to the audience

They didn't even fucking TRY holy shit, aside from the coughing Nora just looked fine as ever in the show

Literally everything about the show is so fucking lazy
$10 million my ass

Saar pls understand this is small production they didnt have the time or budget sirs

someone make a xitter/reddit bait thread about how this is actually racist

season 2 should drop soon

Whole point of the game was to make Ellie unlikable

Whats even the point of s2 if they're not following that?

I'm convinced they spent most of the money on Pedro and also the marketing because the amount of ads (and shilling) I've seen for this season is ridiculous

Flagship show too kek

We did 20 takes and that was the best one.

you have a hot mom, man

Compare it to what hbo was putting out 20 years ago. Grim.

New episode was boring

we have tlou at home

I like how in the game, aside from being roughed up, you can see the signs of infection on Nora immediately from breathing in the spores.
In the show they just shined a red light on her and called it a day.

All the people replying to unironically as if the bait declaration isn't right at the end of the post

Bravo

I think HBO never recovered from GoT season 8 (and 7), they haven't made good tv since.

CRUSH THE BLACKS
THAT AIN'T RACIST
THAT'S A COLOR CORRECTION TERM

Bro they're called INFECTED

Chernobyl is good
HOTD s1 and TLOU s1 are decent
The Rehearsal is good

is this real? wtf

this isn't noticeable without autistic screenshots to make a bad point

HOTD s1 and TLOU s1 are decent

debatable.

We love saying "zombies," don't we, folks? Some people, they don't really like that, they look for any reason to criticize me... They go on NBC and say "Trump said 'zombies.' You can't call them 'zombies,' they're 'infected.'" Can you believe this, folks? They get offended if you say "zombies," you gotta use some politically correct term. But they're out there... groaning, rotting, and -- some say -- eating people. They're zombies.

Everyone has their own story and they're not all good or bad. The WLF and the Seraphites are just shades of grey.

Well except the Rattlers. Fuck those guys.

who are the raiders? why did they choose to be raiders?

she cute, i would try to pet her.

Did we ever learn more about the Rattlers in the game? Why were they keeping slaves?

Bella Ellie has Dina still going with her almost like nothing happened after the pregnancy reveal, which gets her into two highly dangerous encounters and having her get a fucking arrow to the leg

Game Ellie would literally fucking murder Bella Ellie on the spot, no kidding

natural selection

To pick tomatoes. Seriously.

when they showed leon

grim desu

man hands

This isn't even the first time they've nearly gotten fucked by stalkers. They just seem stupid, rather than foolhardy.

Also why why did they make Bella Ellie a moron? Game Ellie isn't book smart but she's not an idiot

Why'd he become a mushroom man so fast? That kinda shit is end game init?

It's implied that he was sent down there probably some time before Ellie got there, and no, this isn't in the game

what do you mean fast? You know that scene at the beginning was a flashback, right?

huh durr a protractor? wtf is that???

they probably think making her a fucking retard is funny and makes her endearing, it doesn't, nobody irl likes fucking retards

I think in the show breathing spores just make you a spore man, not a normal zambie.

Well I mean clearly he never became a clicker and definitely not a bloater. His outfit is also in great shape for being down in a wet, moist environment for years.

To pick vegetables per the game.

why did abby get crucified?

for trying to escape i think

this is obsessive black pill incel shit

where are they getting pooka shell necklaces from 20 years after the apocalypse

One of the prisoners says that she and Lev tried to escape

he hasnt seen station eleven

That's exactly what Anon's family said.

Yeah, something about a genetic.mutation blah blah

She looks better like that

was the Firefly base at Catalina even supposed to have been real? I don't remember anymore.

It was confirmed to be actually real long ago, Abby and Lev just happened to had the bad luck of getting ambushed

In-game Ellie was actually a good attempt at the "badass woman" trope. This show is just... sad.

Its funny how the show has made the game look so much better. Fuck, this was Druckmans plan all along huh. I kneel.

is lgbt the biggest evil in tlou universe becuase it stops ellie from breeding and passing the immune to zombies trait?

In-game Abby is still stupid.

They ruined my schizo murder hobo waifu

His outfit is also in great shape for being down in a wet, moist environment for years

This is a problem with everything in the show in general though. Everything is so FUCKING clean. Did the costume designers not get the brief that it's supposed to be a post apocalyptic world?

i liked you more when you were spamming war of the buttons

lmao

the show would never have an intricate episode of setting traps to fuck up people. even joel in part one only got the sniping sequence and the hospital extraction to display how much of a beast (in gameplay) he can be. though actually that would be a better use of an episode than the gay one, little to no dialogue, just various setups and ambushes.

I was under the impression they only discovered the spores recently

this looks like that little faggot spirit that witches stole speech from witcher 3

why are the bite marks always these perfect impressions of teeth instead of one of them ripping a huge chunk of off ellies forearm

this shit is so corny. its laughable people pretend like the game is any better or something special

bella is too young

t. cat

it's like staring at the face of a 1 year old baby combined with the face of a 40 year old man.
is she gonna troon like ellen page? because it would make sense on this case.

they're on their way

Kinda wished they would have still had the WLF try to hunt down Ellie in the basement and getting into trouble with some infected there in the process

so, leftards only defend the first season of shit that align to their opinions and then they let it die?

Does the game really have a large group of fanatics that dont give a fuck about zombies and host executions in a seattle park, and only use bows/xbows kek.
So sick of this plot armor btw
This show is now officially below master cheeks

Ive seen the show is faithful to the game...was the second game really a cringefest?

That would've been cool.
Anything cool needs to be cut.
