I think it’s to keep it more in line with the grounded aspect of it so general audiences don’t think too much about it being set in the future.

Although does it explicitly say what year it is?

they're prob watching rn and catching every references from the game like

No clue but it’s what I read

Neil Druckmann

Need this show now

I'm ngl the actors they cast for Ellie and Joel both look off from the games, especially Ellie. It'll have to grow on me but I'm not gonna judge it off being an accurate portrayal of the games. I'm sure they wanted to do something different otherwise they would've went for more identical castings

Bella Ramsey looks way too British. Has none of the grittiness Ellie has

Ali Abbasi

Watching impractical jokers and they got ads for this in the middle lol. Marketing going crazy

New press photos

This is apparently all from episode 1

If true. We will meet Ellie in episode 1.
So 90 minutes…. Probably first 30 or so is outbreak day

This specific screen is from episode 5

I have never seen people as hyped for a tv show adaptation as y’all do rooting for y’all . I may even hold a controller in hand while I watch

i dont wanna judge 2 hard but so far from these stills it does not look as promising as i thought, goin in wit no expectations.
