This shit is just a CW show with gore.
Would also depend on the state of the population, if it's regrowing at a good rate or if it's still struggling to meet replacement rates. I doubt in the latter women would be let into front line combat roles as easily as men.Wouldn't it make even more sense since it's "all hands on deck"? I really don't think in an apocalypse people would be "nah that's a woman...choose a man instead"
I managed to not laugh at anything in their thread until I saw this picture.![]()
Decided to drop the show, but I am enjoying all the memes.
Don't feel sorry for her. It was her decision to become an actress and she is making good money with it. If i would have been a millionaire at her age, people could talk all day long how ugly i am and how much my acting skills suck.Honestly I feel so bad for the actress, she must be having a hard time reading and hearing about all the criticism and memes. Honestly I feel sorry for her, its not her fault, its the idiots in charge of the show and the casting thinking this was a good choice. Those people should be fired and kicked out from the industry
Absolutely stupid decision all around, no excuses
But the actress seems like a good person and I dont wish her any harm, the whole situation is just sad
Season 2 has been absolutely fantastic. Much improved over season 1 and Bella Ramsey has been wonderful.
I think she is being carried by the people around her. Everyone else seems to be better at handling the scene than her.
Jury is still out on Kaitlyn Dever as Abby as well; I'm not sold on her yet but we haven't seen her all that much either.
Dever has never been bad, so I am sure she will be good. Glad you are enjoying everything. There were some things I liked last night, like the cult group and chasing down the one WLF girl. Although people in an elevated position with clear line of site not being able to shoot her was a bit silly.
when did they imply this in the game ?do not watch the show.
in season 1 did they imply ellie got raped like in the game
Ironically i feel like Bella is much better at playing angry Ellie than the Ellie we've been seeing lately with Dina.Much better episode than last week's, but I'm still not feeling Bella as Ellie at all. The scene where she's confronting Nora at the end feels like you're watching a child talk to an adult.

Dina has been stealing all the scenes with Ellie. Even early in the episode she seemed more focused than Ellie which makes no sense, lmao.
in part 1 the mountain man played by Nolan Northwhen did they imply this in the game ?
In the show it's so dark as if they try to hide the lower budget with darkness.
I think Ellie at the end with Nora was fine. What I think didn't fit was Ellie the entire episode was all cheery, smiling, and in love and then at the end she just transforms. I guess you can say a switch flipped when she was holding the guitar, and maybe it did, but 1) She shouldn't need a switch to flip. She should've already been that way. 2) If the guitar is a trigger for her, why not at the music shop?
I think the scene would've been more impactful if show Ellie was driven by incessant rage like game Ellie was. But with that said, I think Bella delivered the scene fine. She's a girl who looks like a teenager. It's always going to look a little silly when translated to live action, it is what it is. Like I've mentioned multiple times before, it was always why it was going to be hard to translate Part II to TV. A 19 year old on a revenge tour against militants and cult militia is just hard to believe outside of a game setting.
Looking at the episode in a vacuum though, the only things I didn't like about it were cheery Ellie and Jesse saving the day, and the writers holding back that he and Tommy left for Seattle purely to create a shock value moment.
As an aside, every time I open my Youtube there's another video talking about how "The show is done and it's about to tank!111!11!"
It's just hater grifting clickbait. It may not be as good as the game, but it's not awful.
She identify as non-binary, she is a dumbass who likes attentions, don't feel sorry for her.Honestly I feel so bad for the actress, she must be having a hard time reading and hearing about all the criticism and memes.

I think it's an industry-wide problem. Half the shows have become wayyy too dark. It drives me nuts!Honestly seems to be an HBO problem. The last couple seasons of GoT had the exact same problem.

Well, if I just go to McDonald's for cheap pleasure, I want my Big Mac to look like a Big Mac. Bella doesn't look like Ellie. She looks like a Big Mac too!In terms of Bella being Ellie, with it being a TV show, does it matter that much that the actress doesn't look identical to the game character?
The stereotyping of gamers not liking anything is living strong in this threadbut I understand the reasoning!
In my opinion, it's pretty good, some really cringe dialogue in there especially between Ellie and Dina. But generally believe the look and feel of the show, the casting, the pacing is being really well handled. It's not being a 1 to 1 re-enactment of the game since this medium has obvious limitations.

Looks like Mibu no ookami every time he sees a post not praising Sony.
I think it can work, it just stood out here. I actually think it worked great in season 1 with the Sam and Henry episode. In that one, Kathleen is the sister of a very successful/charismatic male leader and people follow her because of that when he died. It was jarring here because she was two feet shorter than the men that were loyal to her. which is not to say that they can't reveal more information later that makes you go, oh okay that's why they listen to her. Cause otherwise, it's not obvious why this elderly woman who is also a dwarf commands so much respect from more capable men.Wouldn't it make even more sense since it's "all hands on deck"? I really don't think in an apocalypse people would be "nah that's a woman...choose a man instead"

I think the biggest issue is the tone. It's all over the place.

Attached? Wasn't it only 8-9 episodes? We aren't talking about recasting Kelly Bundy here — no one was latching onto Bella for her character work with Ellie.While Ramsey was solid as young Ellie, I'd agree that she isn't quite nailing the older, colder, angrier Ellie we expect. But then, the perpetually grim tone of the game wouldn't work in TV format. People expect a bit of levity and entertainment value, even in a show like this. I don't agree with the sentiment that she should have been recast, audiences would never have accepted it after growing attached to her in season one.
Pretty much. In fact all my non-gaming normie friends who watch the show love it.

Could have recasted easily be done for overall betterment of the show but they decided to fall on the sword.
Really using a line Emmy nomination as the anchor to your argument? Okay.Has anyone in the history of television been nominated for an emmy for a role and recast in the following season?
*and didn't leave on their own accord

Off the top of my head, can't think of one.
But I can think of examples aplenty in sports where a failed championship run still got people the axe.
Same difference.
In award nominations, only one actor can win. Not really a great point.You might not think it is a big deal, but the reality is that it is...
I personally thought she should be recast before the start of the season, but you're playing a dangerous game in doing so. Losing both Pedro and Bella when you have one of the most popular shows on television? That's a huge mistake.
It's not the same difference. In sports only one team can win.
And as I said, it would have been unprecedented to replace her after her success in Season 1. The reality is that she's a 21 year old playing a 19 year old. She's short and has a baby face, but the general audience does not care about any of those things. Bella Ramsey is going to be Ellie this season and next season. That's a reality.

But to each their own. I definitely am not seeing what you're seeing.
