I don't see a lot of people playing TLOU2 and walking away with that impression. Most people think she's only slightly better than Ellie if not just as bad.
Abbie's so incredibly mannish I find the theory that she is a male character model with a female face posted onto it credible, so a black woman would actually be a fine casting choice
Elliot. And I suppose it's possible, but probably Elliot doesn't want to risk triggering his dysphoria by playing a female role. Though I want to clarify that's just speculation on my part based on personal experiences, not based on anything Elliot has said. I know some trans actors don't mind.
I'm pretty sure Elliot said he would have been willing to keep playing his Umbrella Academy character as female coded but Gerard Way was fine with writing the transition into the story
I'm shocked they're apparently going with the same story for part two. I can't fricking wait to see the absolute disgust and disappointment on the faces of people who never played the games and don't know whats coming.
I didn't watch S1. How did they handle Joel's hospital rampage?
I'm pretty sure Elliot said he would have been willing to keep playing his Umbrella Academy character as female coded but Gerard Way was fine with writing the transition into the story
they shot it like a music video with the sound effects muffled and the main theme playing over it
then after that it's basically just the ending cutscene from the game
They're planning on mapping TLOU2 over two seasons
I can't see them killing Pedro before the end of season 2
So It'll be interesting to see what narrative changes they make for that to be possible
I'm also assuming Tommy gets a much bigger role than he did in TLOU2 because Diego Luna is a fairly big name that might carry the series
They'll probably have Abby's group infiltrate Jackson and ingratiate themselves with the community as originally planned, Abby was supposed to dance with Joel at the hootenanny the night before she killed him. This was all cut for time because it was too long of a prologue for a game that's already pushing on 25-30 hours
Since they're adapting TLOU2 into two seasons, they can probably do all this shit and kill Joel off in episode 3-4, then adapt Ellie's half of Seattle in the rest. I hope they have the balls make season 3 almost entirely about Abby
I unironically agree.
I like Joel but he's a monster. He has murdered hundreds of people. Tortured. Stole. Probably raped too. And most of it not in self defence.
In any other game series, he would be a goon working for the main bad guy who you off in a boss fight half way through the game.
>Live in a world where about 90% of the united states is inhabited solely by zombies and crazy muder/rape gangs >NOOO YOU CAN'T ATTACK MY LITTLE TRIBE IN PARTICULAR EVEN THOUGH WE WERE GOING TO BUTCHER YOUR ADOPTED DAUGHTER BECAUSE.... YOU JUST CAN'T OKAY
If she admitted she were a product of the postapocalypse and just out to make herself feel good people wouldn't have a problem with it and the narrative would successfully make people consider how from any perspective but Joel and Ellie's the pair of them are a wrecking ball that kill dozens in the first game.
Instead the narrative insists she's righteous and even has Ellie spare her for no fricking reason at the end. Everyone rejects this blatant falsehood, which causes them to revert to siding with Joel, the likeable one.
TL:DR Druckmann is a fricking hack and I absolutely believe that that one lady they fired from the writing team was the actual reason for TLOU 1's competent writing.
They should have had Ellie reluctantly stab Lev to goad Abby into an unavoidable revenge fight and become the monster she has rared to be for the whole game.
Yes well done homosexual "breaking the cycle of revenge" and all that midwit fricking shit I'm sure it was a good Game Theory video you watched on the topic
joelgays ignore all of the times the story criticizes Abby and her expressions of guilt + desire to do better because they refuse to show any empathy for the person who killed their heckin good joelerino
>murder rando who saved you five minutes because he killed your dad five years ago >also murder him with his unconscious brother like 30 feet from him >ALSO murder him in front of some girl who obviously cares about him enough to say she's going to kill you and your friends for this >leave both of them alive expecting them to take this as a sign of mercy despite the fact that you couldn't get over your dad's death despite having years + friends + great living conditions >ALSO wear jackets advertising where you and you group are located
>both witnesses show up and kill all of your friends >I LET YOU LIVE WHY U DO DIS TO ME???
I don't even give a shit about Joel. TLOU2's big flaw is that every character is a fricking moron who.
Like Craig said, people going "really?" will probably continue. They've already made a bunch of baffling casting choices with thee first season, that won't change with the second or third season.
Very interesting how all this will be implemented in the second and third season of the show. Putting the player first in one perspective and then another and having them fight themselves was a really bold decision. I'm excited for the game and hope the show doesn't cut corners.
Grown Ellie looks intimidating as frick because she seen some shit.The videogame really captures that fricking thousand yard stare and his rage/revenge attitude. The thing is how the frick this goblin is going to be able to pull up that without looking fricking moronic?
Imo, the casting of TLOU wasn't as bad as people make it out to be
>Great choices (Look & Act exactly like the game)
Marlene
>Solid choices (Look & Act close enough to the game)
Joel
Bill
Tess
Henry
Sam
>Bad Choices (Either don't look the part or don't act the part)
David (Good actor but doesn't look the part)
Riley (Looks the part but horrible actress)
>What the frick is this (Terrible acting & appearance)
Ellie
cast Ellie's half-Asian / Hapa son
idris elba
Hunter Schafer
Charlene Yi
i cant believe they turned ellie into a literal cuck that is raising her girlfriends boyfriends baby
Druck'd. In the original script Ellie jacks dying Joel off and fingers herself with his cum as lube, and it is her who gets pregnant with Joel's baby.
is this supposed to be funny?
>on cambodian basket weaving forum
>facebook and reddit morons:"WAs tHAt SUpposEd tO BE FUnnY???"
why are you writing like that? you should
improve your humor
ARE YOU 'AVIN' A LAFF!?
WHO LAUGHED
to autistic morons, maybe
Jessie was so cool man. Why did he die?
Because he complicates the Ellie/Dina romance. If Jesse was alive he would have parental rights and would interfere with their lesbian farm fantasy
He's Asian Joel, Cuckman doesn't like that.
That's not her son, he's Dina's.
Ellie is so pretty bros. I wish she were my wife
No thanks
She'll be black
i guarantee that they will make her black
She'll be the antagonist for most of season 2 so I don't see them making her black
Counterpoint; she's supposed to be a bait and switch antagonist who dindu nuffin' and should be forgiven
I don't see a lot of people playing TLOU2 and walking away with that impression. Most people think she's only slightly better than Ellie if not just as bad.
That's true, but it's also the intent of the writers, so unless they developed self awareness it will be something they attempt to add to the show
At this point i'd go "Really?" if they didn't make her black.
She was supposed to be black, in her concept art she is shown as such but they changed her to match Druckmanns personal fetish.
Abbie's so incredibly mannish I find the theory that she is a male character model with a female face posted onto it credible, so a black woman would actually be a fine casting choice
This girl is followed by Druckmann on instagram and has started to get swole over the past few months.
She's either already been cast in secret or she's a finalist. It's too big of a coincidence
probably.
Or she's getting groomed by him
>Grooming a 24 year old actress
wtf am I on r*ddit?
you dense?
the girl that was used for her face worked at naughty dog
and actually looks cute as frick
shame what they did to her
lmao how funny would it be if it was ellen page
Elliot. And I suppose it's possible, but probably Elliot doesn't want to risk triggering his dysphoria by playing a female role. Though I want to clarify that's just speculation on my part based on personal experiences, not based on anything Elliot has said. I know some trans actors don't mind.

Big Ramy. Make zero effort to make him look or act feminine in the slightest, just have everyone call him "Abby/she/her" in the script
Its obviously going to be Elon Page
Brendan Fraser in a wig
Dave Bautista
I'm shocked they're apparently going with the same story for part two. I can't fricking wait to see the absolute disgust and disappointment on the faces of people who never played the games and don't know whats coming.
I didn't watch S1. How did they handle Joel's hospital rampage?
Well then I suppose there's a chance!
they shot it like a music video with the sound effects muffled and the main theme playing over it
then after that it's basically just the ending cutscene from the game
Normies are less emotionally fragile than g*mers surprisingly
>censoring gamer
Shouldn't you be on r/gcj crying about your failed hogwarts boycott while screaming GERALDO at the other troons?
It's shocking how many people bought that game and ate that garbage of story happily.
Finally. TLOU2 was so much better than the first and I know the second season will be too
They're planning on mapping TLOU2 over two seasons
I can't see them killing Pedro before the end of season 2
So It'll be interesting to see what narrative changes they make for that to be possible
I'm also assuming Tommy gets a much bigger role than he did in TLOU2 because Diego Luna is a fairly big name that might carry the series
They'll probably have Abby's group infiltrate Jackson and ingratiate themselves with the community as originally planned, Abby was supposed to dance with Joel at the hootenanny the night before she killed him. This was all cut for time because it was too long of a prologue for a game that's already pushing on 25-30 hours
Since they're adapting TLOU2 into two seasons, they can probably do all this shit and kill Joel off in episode 3-4, then adapt Ellie's half of Seattle in the rest. I hope they have the balls make season 3 almost entirely about Abby
>we need to keep Pedro around for as long as possible or else people won't tune into the show
Pathetic
Maybe the DLC from TLOU1 will be the season 2's intro
She did nothing wrong.
I unironically agree.
I like Joel but he's a monster. He has murdered hundreds of people. Tortured. Stole. Probably raped too. And most of it not in self defence.
In any other game series, he would be a goon working for the main bad guy who you off in a boss fight half way through the game.

If she admitted she were a product of the postapocalypse and just out to make herself feel good people wouldn't have a problem with it and the narrative would successfully make people consider how from any perspective but Joel and Ellie's the pair of them are a wrecking ball that kill dozens in the first game.
Instead the narrative insists she's righteous and even has Ellie spare her for no fricking reason at the end. Everyone rejects this blatant falsehood, which causes them to revert to siding with Joel, the likeable one.

Filtered.

Yes well done homosexual "breaking the cycle of revenge" and all that midwit fricking shit I'm sure it was a good Game Theory video you watched on the topic
>"breaking the cycle of revenge"
filtered
>If she admitted she were a product of the postapocalypse and just out to make herself feel good people wouldn't have a problem with it
That's the point of her arc and why she didn't want to fight ellie at the end of the story
joelgays ignore all of the times the story criticizes Abby and her expressions of guilt + desire to do better because they refuse to show any empathy for the person who killed their heckin good joelerino
>probably raped too
Opinion wholly discarded
troony says what?
The ironic part is that it is true.
Her biggest crime is having no charisma
True, she had the right and duty to avenge her father who wasn't a random thug either. She looks better after the haircut too
>murder rando who saved you five minutes because he killed your dad five years ago
>also murder him with his unconscious brother like 30 feet from him
>ALSO murder him in front of some girl who obviously cares about him enough to say she's going to kill you and your friends for this

I don't even give a shit about Joel. TLOU2's big flaw is that every character is a fricking moron who.
Only creepy musclegays like Abby.
Neil just crowbar'd his fetishes in.
>Two lesbos smoking dope while Joe gets the shit kicked outta him.
Kek.
Fricking Sony movie games man.
It's Sadie Sink btw.
Sadie should have played Ellie if anything lmfao
Baffling casting choice
Like Craig said, people going "really?" will probably continue. They've already made a bunch of baffling casting choices with thee first season, that won't change with the second or third season.
I hope they turn her into a black troony so when she beats Joel to death with a golf club she can both scream REPARATIONS and PROTECT TRANS KIDS
Do you need to be shitlib to understand the blue/orange morality of this series?
So the producers just admit they’re shitposting with this series anyways?
Very interesting how all this will be implemented in the second and third season of the show. Putting the player first in one perspective and then another and having them fight themselves was a really bold decision. I'm excited for the game and hope the show doesn't cut corners.
Elliot Page
>leave joel to me
Grown Ellie looks intimidating as frick because she seen some shit.The videogame really captures that fricking thousand yard stare and his rage/revenge attitude. The thing is how the frick this goblin is going to be able to pull up that without looking fricking moronic?
You are in the minority chud. Everyone agrees her performance was amazing.
she did in the show already
Imo, the casting of TLOU wasn't as bad as people make it out to be
>Great choices (Look & Act exactly like the game)
Marlene
>Solid choices (Look & Act close enough to the game)
Joel
Bill

David (Good actor but doesn't look the part)
Riley (Looks the part but horrible actress)
>What the frick is this (Terrible acting & appearance)
Ellie
>Terrible acting
Nonsence
Bella Ramsey is a good actress (despite occasional accent slipping) and she captured Ellie's personality well.
It's just unfortunate that Ellie is beautiful and Bella just...isn't
I thought she got better as the series went on but the first couple episodes are painful
>Terrible acting
Where? Provide a peer-reviewed source that her acting was bad. She's a good actress, she just looks like an alien.
Her body language and scream when the black dude shot himself sold it really well, she’s good
Just missing a few chromosomes
>good track record
>good
Watch them completely drop the physical fitness/muscle aspect of the character.
100% guarantee it will happen.
>cast a twink femboy
I don't know why they didn't do it from the start. There'd been no where near the amount of shitposting.
They're still trying to make abby a thing? I figured they would have reconned that shit and started new considering literally no one likes her
she will have to cut some mass for the role, but she's ready
She may have to boost her cardio to actually lose some mass, but Swol-e Moritz is the obvious choice.
