Abby did nothing wrong.

 

[MMaRsu]

No spoilers from the games please

 

[kittoo]

Absolutely horrendous casting end to end.
But otherwise an OK show. Not great, not terrible.

 

[WoodyStare]

Missed opportunity to have Joel walk on a golf club.

Dever is as tiny as Ellie, and should have really played Ellie sine she looks more like her from the game.

I wonder how they're going to alter Abby's brutish stature from the game, in the show's petite frame.

 

[deriks]

Abby is a girl now

They'll probably rewrite a lot of scenes for her to be more agile or vicious than brutish. After watching Apple Cider Vinegar, I have no doubt she'll pull off anything thrown at her (acting wise). She is a goddamn powerhouse with a bright future!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I have the platform but I'm not interested in watching the series

 

[EverydayBeast]

Interested.

Oh she's going to be an amazing Abby.

I'm also curious how the actress playing Ellie will behave for THAT scene.

Last but not least...i can imagine the budget being much bigger this season...can't wait.

They addressed it in a recent interview. They're not going to have her be 'brutish'. Neil Druckmann says part of the reason they wanted Abby to be an imposing & muscular character was to vary gameplay between her and Ellie. Less of a problem in a TV series.

Chernobyl reference?

 

[bundylove]

I guess we went from watching other people play games to watch tv shows that mimic the game.

Imagine the last 5 years naughty dog made more shows than games lol

All could have been solved, if Abby were just a dude from the get-go then. More believable too.

 

[kittoo]

Chernobyl reference?

Yes sir!

 

[ProtoByte]

It's impossible for her to be Abby to the fullest extent, because her physicality is the polar opposite of the character in the game.

I'm not a Part II hater, but that they couldn't find a good enough actress north of 5'6 and pay her a low 7 figure sum to bulk up is the ultimate proof that Abby's sheer physique in the game was ridiculous.

The main reason she looked like that is because ND was captured by the "diverse body" crap of the 2010s.

Agreed!

Story wise, I think it works better that she is a woman. Considering the things that happened in TLOU2 at least.......

 

[Roufianos]

I honestly can't wait to see how people will react. Wonder if it will happen in the first episode.

Story yes, gameplay, no. And I rave about the game's gameplay.

Yeah, I was only thinking from the story's perspective.

Abby is my waifu. I don't want to think of her as a dude. Thanks!

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Man, when Season 1 ended, Season 2 seemed so far away. I'm shocked it's here already.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

this is gonna be a hole-in-one for HBO.

 

[Gamerfan81]

Missed opportunity for HBO to have Abby holding a golf club in that poster instead of a gun.

 

[Insane Metal]

Screw Ellie please. Make Abby great again.

 

[Represent.]

Fuck yeah

 

[R6Rider]

I wonder what the budget was for this season compared to the first.
