    Idk I think a lot of these takes are comparing very very early character exposure to these renditions of the characters to fully contextual opinions we have formed of the characters from the video game.

    Like, in TLOU part 1 game, I really just don’t think at this point in the story we’re close to either Joel or Ellie being fully realized to the point where we’re connected to them heavily yet. At that point in the game, we’re still just learning about who these people are. Hard to compare 2 episodes to the experiences we’ve been through with Joel and Ellie in the games.

    Give it some time

    Sure I haven’t written them off or anything that’s just my early impression

    Glad someone else can acknowledge it

  • Great episode. Won’t use spoiler tags or even post any spoilers because my s*** never works.

    But I love the way the scenes shift from important scene to important scene. End of the episode is great too.

    Also was the show green screened or what because the scenery is insane

    Show is obviously well produced but the plot is definitely lacking so far. Compared to something like station eleven, as far as recent post apocalyptic HBO adaptations go, it’s not hitting the same

    Felt like I was just watching video game gameplay. Some good moments though

    Show has too much cap

    Man the new stuff that they added REALLY works well. The cordyceps s*** real deal creepy. Second episode easily tops the first and the first was fire.

    I’ve been replaying the remastered TLOU on ps5 and I’m right at the area where next episode is gonna be

    To be fair, in the game they aren’t really close yet at this point. It’s not until Bills town they really start to talk more.

    Yeah my first time playing TLOU was actually on PS4 since I never copped a PS3 funny enough. Instantly became one of my GOAT games.

    The new remaster on the 5 is crazy graphically. I wish they took more gameplay mechanics from TLOU2, but it’s still so good

  • why am i watching this while eating brekkie

    I love how the writers have given Ellie a character trait that let's you know when she is telling a lie

    I'm sure other people itt caught that as well

    I am not some xbox fanboy I dont own an xbox. I just think if Xbox fails (its looking grim) that a lot of studios will close and a lot (more ) than already are will get laid off in games industry. So I can't root for their destruction no matter how dumb they often move. Because once Xbox goes its f***ed

    How are they making a solid video game adaptation

    AND changing lore (kiss of death for many adaptations)

    AND inventing new story elements (kiss of death for many adaptations)

    And it’s all working

    Like I loveee some of the new stuff a lot

    I wonder if the the talk show / jakarta thing / Sarah getting the watch, the convo with the watchmaker etc from last week / other new things are actual canon like ‘these happened in the game world too but we just didn’t show it’ or if they’re just for the tv universe

    Bc I kinda wanna keep these things

    Btw I'm completely sold on Bella Ramsey now . I already had faith she would do well, but wow she is Ellie 100%

  • Loving this a lot. Episode 2 was fantastic

  • The actress playing Ellie is just great
