I get that but the Boston QZ was definitely the worst part of TLOU game for me. I think they improved on it and now we move oni thought it was pretty good but kinda dragged in the middle

Episode 2: left behind plus Boston state house. Tess dies.Seems like they are just retelling the games story, not sure how it’s going to fill 9 episodes, I’m guessing lots of flashbacks and filler content. Wife liked it, but complained it was another zombie tv show,
Elle actress was a bit shit, but did anyone like Elle in the game. Not sure why she was main in part 2.
Part 2 story was so bad, so at least I don’t have wait for season 2
I know. Just saying clearly some part didn't make it to the final version. Make me feel little disappointed.That all part plays out differently. Joel motivations is completely different from the game
Hands down.
I feelings exactly. The left and right are the most annoying people in the world. I wish they could just fuck off
Wait until we reach episode 3. They'll lose their mind when find out Bill's gay and have whole episode focus on his relationship lolWell since these people never actually played the game, wait until they find out Ellie is a lesbian. They'll spit out their bigot sandwiches.
This is the one time I agree with the internet - Florence Pugh needs to play Abby
Not only could she easily be made to look the part (minus the buffness), but she is a phenomenal actress.
You're not gonna find a super buff girl that can act to play Abby - so she wont be buff in the show.

I've still got my tinned goods from the pandemic, lets do this!There's only one way to find out lol. We need a good old fashioned Apocalypse.

Isn't this the guy that thought Ellie at 14 years old was hot in the game, and Bella was not hot? That's some pedo vibes right there.
Complaining about ‚wokeness’ in modern entertainment, and yearning for the ‚good old days’ of the pre-2010 era is just retarded at this point. It‘s not like girlbossery or anti-racism are new phenomena. I mean, ‚To kill a Mockingbird‘ came out in 1962, and that‘s one of the ‚wokest‘ movies you‘ll ever see, establishing the stereotype of the white woman falsely accusing a black man for raping her. ‚A Time to Kill‘, a 1996 movie about a bunch of sweaty white rednecks raping a black girl, is actually based on a book that’s based on a real case – except the book reversed the races of victim and perpetrators! Hollywood has been doing this stuff for a long, long time, and anyone who claims there‘s some ‚new‘ trend going on is just dishonest. What‘s changed is simply that the writing has gotten worse and less subtle, which is why it‘s easier to notice this kind of messaging. But it has always been there.
I think this loss of subtlety is also noticeable between TLoU 1 and 2. Part 1 is just as ‚woke‘ as part 2, but since it‘s more subtle, and better paced overall, and revolves around Joel and Ellie‘s developing father-daughter relationship (which is something very wholesome in a bleak world like this), the wokeness kind of flies over most people‘s head. If part 1 hadn’t come out 10 years ago, but only today, you can bet the messaging would’ve been much more ‚in your face‘, and the game would’ve been just as divisive as part 2.
Anyway, regarding the show, Tess following Joel‘s lead actually mirrors how gender dynamics work in the real world, and feels more natural than their dynamic in the game. So in that aspect the show is actually less ‚woke‘ than the game lol. Overall, I think it would‘ve been pretty hard for HBO to fuck up a show based on TLoU part 1; the story and themes are too straightforward and wholesome to mess up. It‘s part 2 that‘s gonna be the real challenge. If they adapt that as faithfully as they seem to be adapting part 1, then I expect future seasons to be just as divisive as the second game.
You havent even played the game so you the last person that should be making comments about how the show is more "woke" than the game.We'll see, the series appears to have a lot more Tess material than the game.
I love this YouTube channel and I love that they're going to cover the series.
I have played the PS4 Remastered years back. I didn't say it was more woke, the reviewers did.You havent even played the game so you the last person that should be making comments about how the show is more "woke" than the game.
Is she hunting for smurfs?
I went to check global top sellers and its in ~50 place excluding free games. Are you sure you don't have regional/language filters on? Could be trending more in some specific countries (its in the ~20 places in brazil for example)So...TLOU Part 1 is about to enter Steams top 10 of the best selling games. At #11 right now (not counting the free games above it of course).
And this is after only a single episode!
Yeah, it's nowhere near the top 20 here in the Benelux on steam global chart.I went to check global top sellers and its in ~50 place excluding free games.

Well, I'll just list the wokeisms I saw:
- global warming in the first five minutes
Next time spare us your trigger warnings.
Part 1 wasn’t woke. It was a great story. They went woke with part 2. Part 1 was a simple story. Part 2 they injected their politics with stupid unnecessary changes for the sake of woke.Haha I totally you were joking but you were serious! This whole whole thing is far past comical at this point. For sake of clarity, is the part 1 woke also or is it just part 2? And what exactly made it woke again? The musicale woman? Too much lesbian action?
Just so you know, I’m not trying to attack you. Just really curious.

Pedro is excellent as Joel. Bella is awful as Ellie. She is just not a good actor not just her looks. I mean Sarah actor is better.Watched the wholemovieepisode yesterday.
My wife got mad at me for not telling her the episode was so long beforehand, and she went to bed later than initially planned. I guess it'll take us 3 days to watch that ~2 hour episode.
Regardless, the show seems good. Not OMG-IT'S-100%-ROTTENTOMATOES good, at least not for the 1st episode, but it's definitely above average in production and screenwriting like e.g. Andor.
Pedro Pascal, Anna Torv and the rest of the cast seem really into it and they're doing great.
Bella Ramsey as Ellie, on the other hand, does not.
She moves and speaks fine, but she's apparently incapable of doing facial expressions and that's constantly putting me off.
Every single time there was a close-up on her face (and there's a lot of those in the first episode), all I could think of was Saitama's dork face. And she's always making that face.
This is Bella Ramsey when Ellie's relaxed in a room:
This is Bella Ramsey when Ellie gets knocked against a wall:
And this is Bella Ramsey when a guard points a rifle at Ellie:
Sure, they didn't need to choose a conventionally pretty actress for the role. That part's fine to me.
But Ellie's facial expressions are always a big part of what sets the mood in the games, and they went with an actress who seems unable to do any.
Just look at this example.
Pedro Pascal is clearly using a facial expression that transpires danger and anxiety. I can tell he's in a hurry and worried about who or what he'll encounter in the next turn he makes.
Bella Ramsay in the back looks like she's in a line for getting in the school bus on a tuesday morning, wondering if her mom ever really packed that extra jam sandwich she asked for.
I’m not gonna drail the thread. I have played Part 1 more than you have and the focus is the story.Part 1 has multiple gay characters.
Its as "woke" as anything. The internet and it's obsession with things being woke is hilarious. Especially when you ignore it in one thing and claim it ruined the next.
What a load of nonsense you are spouting.

Sexual preference, gender, race is not woke in itself, if the show is making it a defining characteristic and worthy of big attention is when things can start to appear woke.Part 1 has multiple gay characters.

I wouldn't bet on that. I've played both games a hell of a lot.
No one has said the focus isn't the story....
The focus is also the story in Part 2 despite the fact you consider it "Woke"
