That's what every other director is doing with the ip since Disney bought it. Maybe it's not the directors...

While she would have been too old to play season 1 Ellie, she could have easily played her in a later season. She was my #1 pick for Ellie when there were rumors about a TV series/Movie.
She's too fem to play Abby in my opinion. Unless they pump her with test not sure how intimidating they can make her.

Yeah, people are crazy that they can't even distinguish between fiction and real life.

As a male feminist, I'd recommend "Booksmart" instead. Directed by Olivia Wilde.

Yeah, I’m not buying it. No way a neckbeard has already Leeroy Jenkinsed onto set and made any kind of real threat that would warrant a statement like this.

I mean this is fucked up. It's like when the actress from TLJ was getting sent death threats and shit. Like, she just played a character. She didn't write the script or the dialogue you fucking cretins.

Is it just the quote in the OP? Because that quote says it was done as a precaution, not because of an actual threat.

I'm sorry but this reads like complete bullshit. I fail to believe no fan is that sad or stupid.
People were sending death threats to developers, writers, voice actors etc. I bet there's one in hundred lunatics who would actually shoot or stab someone over fictional characters given the chance. Absolutely. This hobby attracts a lot of different people and also the worst kind.
This is a good call. If they wouldn't do it and something happens everyone will say the writing was on the wall.

There's something wrong with these people that liked tlou2. The game sucked.

It is the directors but with compliance of the producer (KK)... I truly believe and no one can change my mind that KK enjoy very much seeing all of us angry males getting to see she fucks up this franchises.. and no amount of money loss can get her to loose her job.. that contract is iron tight since the inception per reports and leaks... from story groups to directors she is hand picking the people she knows will do exactly what she wants, think like her and say things she knows will piss everybody... the last two directors hired were plain feminists/lgbt activists with almost no experience in this genre or line of work.
I think after serving coffee for so long and being in the shadows of great man and taking orders from them made her life goal to fuck up whatever they touched. And whatever she can she will do. People say she is incompetent I think she is very competent in doing exactly what she wanted to do and will continue to do until she retires into the sun.
She is peak disney movie witch vilan... quite fitting and ironic btw

I can entirely believe that some losers would target an actress who's playing a character their tiny little incel brains couldn't compute - but this is also your bog standard PR bullshit that exaggerates something out of all proportion.

This is like saying give me piss because Im tired of shit.
On a more serious note.. her character and physicality were never the problem imho, but the origin story and overall plot she is in ?.. sheeesh.

Sounds more like people with mental health problems than actual fans. I enjoyed the character. It was a mixture of love and hate.

This sounds like more fan fiction drummed up by Kuckmann.

Have you seen some of the comments in here?
Yeah, I think a little extra security is a good thing.

Do yall seriously not understand you're not supposed to find every character in every piece of media you watch likeable? Some characters are specifically written to not be likeable?

Do you not understand that you could and should like "villains" too? I like some Picollo, Freeza, Cell, Majin Boo and Vegeta. Why do Japaneses can make likeable villains so easily?

This wouldn't surprise me at all, unfortunately. If a piece of media has a lot of fans, it is guaranteed that number of fans will also include a smaller number of weirdos and creeps disconnected from reality.
I really do not envy and I feel bad for any actress who has to go through some shit just for portraying this (understandably) hated character.
However...
Agreed. Setting the stage for reactions and whatever Twitter Brain Rot-level conversations are coming later down the line about this show. It's a cynical way to look at this, I'll admit. But exploiting the sheer hate for Abby as a marketing tool for the show is not something I'm going to put past anyone.

I wonder how she gonna actually look in the series, since abby took roids for few solid years will she be actually be somewhat buff and with changed maskuline voice(first thing woman loses when on juice is her voice, happens even to under 100lbs bikini fitness competitors ;p).
In the game abby throws and overpowers huge men left and right so i wonder if in the series it will be similar and how realistic they will make it actually.

The irony of this story is if I were a celebrity and wanted security, the security persons physique would ideally look like Abby from TLOU2.

Half of those dont even stay villains, so in pretty sure you WERE supposed to like them.
Thats different than Abby, for whom they directly wanted you to spend the first half of the game wanting her to die before putting you in her perspective.
Abby also isn't a "villain" just an antagonist. In that role, many many people like her portrayal.

Never watched it. But imagine being that angry about *a television show*. People need to get a life, for real.

Maybe they will use cgi to give her juiced look, w/o actual performance enhancing drugs she has 0 chance to reach abby's ingame look/musclemass/strenght even if u gave her 10years for it, simply female hormones wont allow it, arms/shoulders/neck respond to high testosterone lvls onlyBro, does she even lift!?
