The last one was really controversial when it came out as a video game... typical "Why did they have to make Ellie gay" "It was never implied she was gay so this is shoving it down our throats" shite

The controversy around the sequel was about the narrative and about Joel. I wont go into details for the sake of the show but Joel was the issue. Or more over the schlocky writing. |

Closest it came to being about Ellie was dirt rags like Kotaku cherrypicking one douche bags tweet off twitter and writting an article scapegoating everyone who hated TLoU as a biggot instead of addressing why the sequel was so reviled.

The series is very compelling. As someone who's played both games, it has exceeded my expectations.

Now that the second part has been out for a few years the controversy around it is so much funnier... it was a very interesting "commet" on video game audiences that a bunch of diaper babies complained they had to play as a character they hated. I thought it was a genius decision and admittedly i didnt even enjoy playing the game, like the game was upsetting because of this, but i appreciated that. "Gaming" is too focused on fun to be able to sacrifice pure enjoyment for the sake of storytelling and the audience at the moment is too immature to embrace it... but your kids are gonna love it |

Remember when Metal Gear Solid 2 made you play as Raiden?
We wanted Snake! |

First episode is good stuff so far.
I particularly enjoyed the racing through the streets as the world burns, that was well done. I’ve never played the game so it’s all new to me. |

The child has a weird face. Big round forehead, looks like a Neanderthal.

Kid can’t act. If sort of works because kids are little freaks at that age.

Episode three was about as good as a stand alone episode can be. Phenomenal.
Stupid kid starting to win me over with puns and F-bombs too. I’m enjoying it, didn’t plan on watching four episodes in a row and I might keep going. Melanie Lynskey just showed up looking all pissed off. |

That was an excellent series though I doubt I would watch a second because it was so well journeyed.

I didn't even consider that because I already "know" that there is another video game and another season was already confirmed....
But yeah, I wouldn't be mad if that was just the end of it. |

Season 2 will just be her making decisions that disappoint or scare him juxtaposed with her finding out the lie that will disappoint and scare her. Both will feel great guilt.
I can’t set myself up for that level of predictability or repetition…will they stick together or be torn apart?! |

Episode 11 is twice as good as episode 3.

They should do a series that’s just hours of names of the dead victims. They could call it “The List Of Us” and Peter Greenaway could direct it.
If you’re not having that one have this for free - make is an opera and call it “The Liszt Of Us”. Last edited by Seanny One Ball; 03-24-2023 at 01:35 PM. |

Just finished. Outperformed all expectations. The unicorn of a show adapted from a game that respected the source material while being able to put little spins on it to keep it fresh. Especially the last episode. Really happy that the ending was the same as the game. It was a great ending where the choice Joel makes can be debated but will never be settled on by everyone. Thats good writing.
Yeah, it wasn't perfect. Ellie was more obnoxious at times than I would have liked but they never went overboard with it or tried to make a "new and improved" flawless version of her. I even have a glimmer of hope that the success of the show will actually force them to retcon some of the terrible narrative choices made in the second game and we get the film version of what it would have been like if they hadn't fucked it up. Otherwise it would be interesting to see a new round of people who hadn't played the games be upset at what happens and those of us who have can laugh at them as they were probably the type who made fun of those who had the same reaction years prior. 9/10 |
