'The Last of Us' - Season 2 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | April 13th, 2025 (7 Episodes)

[904]

I'm a bit torn on how they're unfolding part 2 so far

I preferred the tense build up through flashbacks of Ellie's feelings towards Joel vs her feelings being put on front street so early..

I guess they weren't bold enough to tell the story the exact way it was in the game

oh god.

nikkas in here tryna gaslight like its breaking immersion cuz we don't think she attractive. My boy who played the game and hasn't watched the show yet and I told him who Ellie is and he said its a terrible casting with no provocation.

its a good show (could stand to add a lil more actual zombies in this bytch, lets not turn into the TWD ) but for what and where Ellie has to go thru in part two I'm very curious how Bella is going to be convincing. I'm open to be proven wrong for sure but that season opener

when she was telling that stalker to run at her I'm guessing it was posed to be a moment, but to me it was

It's a lot dudes in here talking about how ugly she is and how she looks.

And to your point you had to give grace in the game too because a man would've had trouble pulling off what Ellie did let alone her 110 lb ass lol

She was telling the stalker to run at her because that's what the infected would normally do.. It was to show she came across something different

It was pretty obvious at only this point in the game too that Ellie wasn’t good with Joel, only difference is we got the dance scene with Joel shoving dude at the start compared to near the end, but Ellie still talks about the events for it before she heads out on the run with Dina, so I don’t think it’s too different

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I don’t see how anyone could watch season 1 and still say that. This girl be acting her ass off

She's not a terrible actress but I also don't think shes "acting her ass off" either. It's bad casting and most people agree. All the legal scholars agree.lol.. And it has nothing to do with wanting to fukk her because Ellie in the game had no sex appeal either nor needed to. Bella comes off too much like a brat, she's supposed to be 19 and acts like a 10yr old who just learned how to curse. It's annoying is all. Maybe by the end of this season she'll grow on me but I just can't stand her right now lmao

 

[Monoblock]

Good first episode back, especially as someone who didnt play the 2nd game.
Joel cant say waht he wants to the mama from home alone cuz nobody can know what he did to save ellie


I fukk with Loretta doing her thing. Real believable to me


Is it me or is Ellie looking more Slothish this season? That staring scene in the church looked weird like it had a lil cgi on it or something

Yea that shot actually made me She's a hell of an actress...its just I think she was miscast for this role but we'll see how the rest of this season goes.

You as a viewer knew it was off and the reason for it but in the game you didn't know if she knew the truth until much later. She didn't have an all out fallout with Joel until much later I should say, there was just tension.

The flashbacks served as her questioning Joel over the years.

Spoiler

The scene at the dance being at the end led you to believe that's how they left their relationship and just really fukked you up at the time lol

Ellie at least looked athletic and fit, like a trained soldier. She was also a lot more pensive and cynical than the bratty rendition in the show. Abby a whole nother topic on her casting

I just rewatched a playthru to refresh my memory and they are going to have to do cinematic magic to make some of the events that transpire believable at all if they stay true to source material

They've already said Abby won't be doing as much physically as they wrote her role not to be the Hulk lol

And Ellie looked like malnourished skater.. I wouldn't necessarily say athletic

I agree with you on the bratty shyt.. She's still coming across like she's 14 at times

Idk Im in the gym errday she looked like one of them skinny ass cardio bunnies who do a lil weightlifting. But shyt, its wild when a malnourished skater is more convincing then what we got irl lol.

I aint know that, thats wack. Abby being tlou thanos to ellie was amusing and also more dramatic.
