              Part II killed the franchise, so much so that they had to re release Part I as the early stage attempts of getting the audience back on side. They will revise the tv series to do the same, before coming out with Part III that has almost zero to do with the pre-existing game. Again, your post epitomises the notion of being disingenuous and you are fully aware. I'm actually glad I've responded to you enough times to assure your weak ass bait wasn't properly taken in the way you wanted, but also now I can freely continue to completely destroy any pathetic attempt you piss out to try and rationalise your bait. @ me you lil bitch.

                And here we see the goalposts are shifting.
                1 - You do not have "good" taste, or at least what would generally constitute as "good" in a subjective realm of discussion. I can prove that to you if you so wish to continue this conversation.
                2 - You don't have any friends or anyone to talk to, and the majority of the internet disagrees with your underpinning point, so who the fuck are you talking about when you say "most people"?

                Nope. The burden is on you to defend your retarded claims. I will not be suckered into a dumbass debate about why a critically revered video game that swept just about every single award it was capable of, is still talked about over a decade later, has spawned an HBO television series that is currently dominating the zeitgeist, and is the subject matter of the very thread you are visiting is "special". You make a controversial statement, you back it up. That is how these things work you baboon.
                Also I know this will be hard for your zoomer brain to compute, since you most likely believe that the slightest hint of a disagreement is the equivalent of a sparking a family blood feud, but I am not flipping out by pointing out just exactly how retarded you are.

                I liked the episode but it would have made more sense if he wasn't gay and he found a woman in the hole. Him being gay was off putting and made zero sense and was just kind of visually wrong. It didn't make sense or work. It sucked all the emotional impact out of the episode.

        It really seems like good writing is no longer important, people just prefer pretty visuals. You'd think there would be at least one company that prides itself on the writing but that doesn't seem to be the case.

          I think good writing still exists. I just think long gone are the days of establishment trust. ie HBO used to be a stamp of quality approval, you knew all good writers wanted to work there, and the devs wanted good writers to work for them - all for the mutual benefit of them/the audience. Ergo the shows all hit a certain quality barometer even if they weren't for you. It's not like that anymore. It's far more individualised.

          The problem is they hire blacks, gays, women, and trannys not based on talent or merit but if they check off a box and then they let these mutants have at an existing IP. And then act shocked when they make the ninja turtles binary gender fluid, and april o Neil a they/them. And the plot is shredder (a woman with an afro) trying to destroy all the worlds dilators. And then when normal people say what the fuck is this? This is stupid. The people involved in the show cry and blame bigotry. It's all a joke and why current media is so fucking awful.

            The only world-building part was the few comments Joel made about the spread of the outbreak. It's funny when people defend this episode on the internet they always point to things that have nothing to do with the Bill and Frank flashback i.e. the main focus of the episode. It's always "we know how they got a car" or "we know where Ellie got the gun from".

        That not true as most people still have cable not only that but hbo is involved in a scandal right now over misrepresenting streaming subscriptions numbers and defrauding investors.

          Yes I'm sure in an era of costcutting and frequent cancellations HBO is just losing money on TLOU because they NEED to show gay sex on screen as part of a israeli psyop

            I think you are forgetting hbo is so shit they just got sold to a a reality tv company discovery +
            and tlou was already in production at the time of the takeover
            So while shills and hbo act like their supper successful the fact they got sold betrays that assertion
            Also discovery + has been clear about its vision for hbo going forward and it’s not looking very woke

        >8.2 million
        According to hbo sir
        But most all that had to come from streaming which is convenient as they average less than a million views on telecasts
        Highly sus sir

        >8.2 million viewers
        >but HBO is lying about its viewership numbers
        literally yes. highly fucking plausible. I work with analytics for a similar service and it's omega-bega easy to fudge the numbers. Generally users are called viewers. You separate between
        >Eligible viewers
        >Active viewers
        >Engaged viewers
        >Sleeping viewers
        These are all categorized under "viewers", legally. This is why silicon valley apps can say
        >"We have 1 million users"
        which triggers angel investors, but in reality they have maybe 10k active users which is where the money is at. But bozos like you and angel investors don't know the diff, so you get scammed:) It's ok though it's funding my lifestyle so all good keep doin what ur doin my man. Speak truth to power!

    Dunno why everyone loves eating this shit show. I think it's another overhyped leftist garbage about some zombies. Only Pedro Pascal carried this shit.

    I hope that in the next season they don’t fuck up the pacing like the did in part 2. Cause lord knows if they kill off Joel as early as they did in the game the show will probably tank.
