time to replay pt 1 and 2 while waiting 5 years for the next season

ETA Season 3?

2037

We getting cordyceps takeover fr before S3 💔

Purists been insufferable since day 1 this aint new lol

Don’t think it’s purists tbh it just felt so pointless. Save that island for next season.

It definitely felt pointless and I didnt like it but I’m not just talking about the scene itself

I think the biggest issue with Ellie this season is that she’s written to be a great solider/fighter in theory (at the start of it we see her using a sniper with good aim and people in the place recognise her as being good) but as soon as she’s in Seattle she is the weakest in every situation and her rational makes no sense.

Constantly bailed out. She walks into thag infested area without any knowledge of whether other infected are in there. The scene towards the end when she wanted to fight 6 solders despite Jesse saying he can’t die as he’s going to become a father.

I think if they wrote her more of being smart in these situations it would’ve made it a lot stronger.

Finale was good.

I think the season overall pales in comparison to the first but people are making this out to be some sort of disaster because it’s not a 1:1 adaptation

Still not 100% sure about how I feel re: Ellie’s approach to killing everyone, but if anything it’s not at fault of Bella. I would say if anything any big changes are at the hand of Craig Mazin. Now I don’t mind most of the changes but if there’s any one to point fingers at it’s him.

As a Part II truther I am excited to see how they adapt Abby’s side of things, it just sucks that we’ll have to wait 2 years to see it

They really aint film season 2 and 3 simultaneously smh

Also it was really cool seeing the cut Seraphite-Ellie part from the game but it does kind of stunt the pacing with how short it was. Say if the episode was mainly that and it ends with her escaping and the next episode would’ve fleshed out Mel and Owen’s deaths more then I think it would’ve been more effective.

tbf the difference being is that she is acting in anger for the whole time in seattle. That anger can tend to make her lose logic/rationale, aswell as focus on thinking before acting

Everything in Jackson was done way better than the game, very fleshed out and a lot of character. Everything in Seattle has felt like they're just checking boxes from the game. This really needed to be a 10 episode season and spend more time in Seattle

You think it’s ridiculous that I expect a television adaptation to sit down in the writing room and write stories and events to make it so characters arnt fast travelling all season long?

Agreed

😳 me?

They hate watching huh

Yes!!! Do u remember saying that? I may be ascribing more description than you did but you defo said something about it having the vaneer of prestige but not the actual foundation/meat of prestige

One of the best games ever made

yo fam quick question

I wanna finish watching season2 but i’m also playing TLOU2 for the first time and i’m like 40% thru

(i’m at the part where Ellie steals the boat in seattle and just navigating with it)

is it okay to finish watching S2 ?

yes

real

what episode you left off on

Crazy. Should’ve been a mid season finale and dipped off until like December

Show is legitimately not good lol
