'The Last of Us' - Season 2 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | Neil Druckmann stepping away from creative involvement

I think it's comical that you had folks in here telling people to STFU and calling them nitpicky, then it turns out that a majority tuned out or have the same exact gripes bothsides came together for once

Oh and for y'all who are confused: it's bad writing, direction, and Bella isn't that strong of an actor. She had a spark in got....

I hope there’s a season 3. I got faith my Dallas pawg Dever going to save this shytshow.

But those finale #’s and the behind the scenes footage showing how much $$$ went into the set build/fx, got me if we’re really going to get a Season 3.

add the fact that I believe episode 4 or 5 where Ellie and Dina going to some warehouse in Seattle and find a bunch of WLF killed & hung by the Scar and a couple of WLF come in with automatic weapons as they hide till Ellie windsup behind a soda machine and takes down a 6 foot dude and nearly chokes him out

as I said, in the beginning, the writing for this is fukking atrocious

So should they change the games story? Legit confused by these complaints there's even bigger dudes she's gonna beat

Maybe following a fukking video game script doesnt make for good television.

shytty writing is shytty writing. The writing on this show is straight ass. Im at the point that I forward past the forced sentimental chats between characters.

Im fresh off the brilliant writing of Andor.

This here is plain shyt. I had no intention of wanting to feel this way about the show.

If the story's ass the story is ass deviation from source material brings even more criticism. As far as the show its literally the games story, if you don't like the game you won't like the show

I don’t play the game. I want to watch a good show but it’s written like garbage.

This season seems like a long winded Black Dynamite scene where they try to draw you in to a character before killing them.

 

[kingofnyc]

thats hilarious. Ellie doesn't come across as believable at all going on a John Wick crash out mission. I can see why they cut it.

The Walking Dead on HBO.

she’s 5’1” & no more than 100lb
the WFL dude is like 6’0” & somewhere around 180lb
yet she’s able to run at his knees and knock him down like she’s Ray Lewis in his prime. This shyt was comical.

✂️ LMAO

Well, the major problem is
a lot of people who liked the game didn’t like the show

I mean i didn't like the story in the game so to me im coming in with the notion that its already a bad story but its true to that story

Bella does great with short lines and was a novelty on Game of Thrones, but quite simply isn't believable enough to carry a show.

I went and watched some of her scenes and she had a commanding presence for a child. This must be the writing not her

As a side character and novelty in the show, sure 10 minutes in a season...

But as a lead? She's not good but that's okay, some roles aren't a good fit..

Yeah she was at her best with Joel and especially Jesse, those 2 really ground her character

This show is a let down..don’t know why you game playing nikka hyped this so much.

To be fair, a lot of the gaming people, including me, are telling you that the writers changed some of the characters, including dumbing down Ellie and turning Jesse into this super straight laced militant cat.

The Last of Us season 2 failed Ellie in service of safe TV

Craig Mazin laughing at Ellie being incompetent is the last straw

They say it more succinctly than i can
And we not supposed to doubt or question these rainbow haired, half a faq TV writers? Ha!
