They repeating one of the same mistakes that fukked over Westworld by making us wait 2 years for the next season :snoop: Like what someone said, should have been greenlighted and filmed back to back

Season was good but felt super rushed. Thinking it should have been 9 episodes minimum. It may mess with the 1 episode per day in Seattle structure but oh well :manny:

Highlights were the 2nd episode, flashback episode and Jeffrey Wright's scenes in episode 4

I can give a pass to a lot, like iv said…they’re trying to put 15 hours worth of gameplay into 6-7 hours worth of TV

But, to be one of the annoying “game was better” people…
But with the last few eps outside of the flashback episode it has been very hard to ignore that The game is written infinitely better

And was the scene of Ellie getting taken by the scars between taking the boat to the ferris wheel just to pad the episode out by an extra 5 minutes or something? ?

Pissed me off so bad, like what was the point of the change :what:

Also after that I kinda didn't like Ellie's hesitance with Mel and Owen, it's consistent with what the show has made Ellie but it leans too much into keeping Ellie as the good guy

For a finale which was hitting the day three beats, its crazy how much this was inferior to ep 6

Random but I wonder if we get a Gail on the WLF side :mjlol:

I'm pissed. Jesse the GOAT got killed because of Ellie's b!tch ass :martin:

He should've let the WLF turn her into swiss cheese when she tried to be Captain Save-a-Scar earlier :martin:


Ellie in this season gets on my damn nerves. I really don't give a f*ck what happens to her :manny::camby:
Yeah they turned her into a perpetual brat even into adulthood
thing is, videogame Ellie was a driven sociopath and that wouldn't translate well to TV fandom neither

Bro this show fell the fukk off something crazy. That first season even with the changes was good. This season got dayum :russ: wtf was this bullshyt? it ain’t even coming close to the game. Even the game cutscenes more intense and better acting. I remember naughty dog was on rockstars heels for being one of the best gaming companies. GTA 6 about to make 10 billion day one while they keep trying to make mediocre movies and tv shows. Fire Niel and let this dream go it ain’t it.

so ND/ND fukked up because the show isn’t as good as the game? :what:

It’s also funny seeing people that have been straight shytting on the game for 5 years pretend they are dissappointed in the show for not being as good as the game. for years i had to hear about how unrealistic it was for Abby to have muscles now nikkas can’t stop complainging about her not having muscles in the show.

:mindblown:

yall just repeat whatever you hear on social media at this point. Season 1 was nowhere as good as the first game either.

I understand the meaning of it, Ellie who tried to save a scar kid earlier than gets her life decided by a scar kid who’s even younger who never met her, it’s to drive the point that nobody there is a victim, they’re all savages…but, it was just really weirdly placed within the episode

it ain’t even coming close to the game. Even the game cutscenes more intense and better acting.

No hate to you, and Even though I agree, it’s weird to put “even” at the start of that sentence like it being a game makes it automatically inferior, game voice acting and mocap is so advanced now that these voice actors absolutely deserve to be recognised just as much as live action actors, everybody in the cast for the game were excellent

That weird LOU2 hate sub Reddit has 20 posts a day on how the show is so bad compared to the game…

The same game they have been crying about for 5 plus years
