I think we can all agree that what we are most excited to see is how Manny will be written in the show.
As you know, in the game, Manny was Mexican, and the player needed to be constantly reminded of that fact, and through Druckmann's utterly brilliant writing, he accomplished this by having Manny use only one Spanish word during his time in the story. Pendejo. Yes, the ultimate reminder that this is a Mexican character. I think I lost count of the Pendejos uttered by Manny at around 65 times.

Jesus Christ dude...let it ****ing go. Apparently he ruined your whole entire childhood.

Meh. He's not exactly wrong in his criticism though.

It's cool...you didn't like TLOU2. You aren't alone in that but it literally has zero bearing on your life. But what did I expect? WallCrawler literally shits all over every thread he's about like he's some ****ing expert on EVERYTHING. |

This is a discussion on how season 2 will be received by watchers of the series, and how if it follows the game (which it will, Druckmann can't take an L on his prize piece of shit revenge project he wanted to do since college, but was shot down at every turn by anyone with a modicum of common sense, and only when those people with moving brain cells left the company and Neil rose to VP and instituted groupthink over common ****ing sense did he get to have his way) then the fan backlash will be tremendous. Perhaps instead of reading the criticisms I have about the terrible decisionmaking, writing, direction, and incoherent order of the storytelling that make you sad, maybe go enjoy a Neil Druckmann interview. Perhaps the one in which he describes weeping at his own work. That always brightens my ****ing day. In any case, the structure of season 2 almost has to change. You can't repeat the same mistakes of showing half the story from one side, and right at a key moment, stop the storytelling on that side to say BUT WAIT! Let's now take a few episodes to see how we got here! There will be no stakes, no tension, because viewers will already know where a lot of these key players end up. Like I saw character A talking to character B on day 3, so when character A is in what is supposed to be a tense life or death moment, it falls flat, because I already know that character A makes it to talk to character B later. Its going to have to fundamentally change. It can't become the story slog that the character switch in the game was. |

I will say that, yeah, my biggest issue was how quickly it all went by.
I thought we could have seen more between Boston and Kansas City at the very least. |

There’s only so many episodes you can have of them sneaking around infected. Could they have shown it more? Yeah. But it would have gotten old quick.

I really wish they would have had the Firefly’s find Ellie and Joel like they did in the game.

I agree in general, though. I’d have liked to see more infected, more sneaking around infected, more apocalyptic urban backdrops, more raiders and marauders, etc. Unfortunately the budget wasn’t cut out for all of that and people would have complained about it being slow if they focused on character development moments so it’s not a big deal for me. |
Finished watching the series and can say it honestly did not reach the high ground for me that this thread lead me into expecting. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad by any means but the hype is WAY overblown.
I'd put right with The Walking Dead season one popcorn fun. They need to put a cape on Joel just make him a little more super human. 6/10 |
If anyone is interested, the game was released today on PC.

Please point to the spot on the doll where the LOU2 hurt you!

Free HBO weekend so I'm binging the crap out of this to see if the hype is real
Just started S1 E1, love the idea of using the ant fungus We'll see... |

Series was pulled off incredible well and follows the game to a "T" with several twists incorporating the DLC and a story with Frank and Bill that was not included, but eluded to in the game. This series was incredibly well done and I enjoyed it thoroughly! :thumb:
PLAY THE GAME! Then reflect on the series. The Last of Us is a top all time game for a reason. |

But when they skipped forward 23 years I had to go looking for a recap to figure out what I was seeing, who all these new characters like Tess were, etc The next two or 3 are a bit fuzzier due to the vodka :D, probably gonna have to rewatch them today to stay in the loop going forward |
Just a couple nitpicks are...
Episode one when the soldier catches them near the river, he probably isn't gonna be alone Episode four, and the Walking Dead was guilty of this as well, where he's siphoning gas out of 23 year old cars... uh no, gas isn't viable after that amount of time even with stabilizers added to it |
So the arcade at the mall is still open 23 years later?
I'm always willing to buy in for a good show, but don't press your luck lol |
Dude…there are zombies. You should probably not take it too seriously.
|
It's a show my 15 year old daughter and I can watch together.
Good enough. |

I'm pumped after that teaser. If it's as faithful as the first one was, it will be insane.

That teaser got me all in my feels again

Last of Us Part 2: Temper your Expectations.
|
Man I have been playing the remastered version of this game off and on for like two years. Never finished it, but might now. Some of those scenes/locations look straight out of the game.

Season 2 premiere tonight!
|
|
Watching now
|
Kaitlyn Dever (Abby in Season 2) should’ve been cast as Ellie, such a no brainer…can’t believe they botched it.
|
For a treat watch the ASL version of “Last of Us” on Max.
|
Good episode but they try way too hard with the gay shit.

The dance scene is pretty damn accurate to the game as well. Nothing was forced. |

Episode 3 was probably the best episode of the 1st season of this show. The takes are getting bad in here.

It's consistent with the game. You're the guy Joel punched out at the party. |
Quote:
Should have been toned down. |
Quote:
Is it outside the realm of possibility for two or three people to be gay in a community? Look, it doesnt do it for me, but it's not distracting from the story - as a matter of fact, it's damn near shot for shot from the game. |

Homosexuals are 1-2% of the population. The show has shown us three gay relationships in 10 episodes. LMAO In a post-apocalyptic setting, this is extremely unlikely, comes off as forced and takes you out of the story. I'd be fine with one. I'm not a homophobe. But what they have done is just cringe. Fortunately the rest of it is good enough that I can power through it. |

And as I mentioned, spot-on accurate from the game. If that element is too much for some, it's easy to just not watch (though they'd be missing out on probably the best story ever told in a video game).

It’s unfortunate the creators of the ORIGINAL ****ING GAME didn’t have more incels in their focus group so that they would’ve understood that they overshot their quota of one gay interaction per ten episodes. That two-minute sequence really required a lot of grit to “power through it.” LMAO |
Relax, buddy. They didn't get my dime, anyway.

Clay, you're just showing your lack of self awareness. Of all people on CP to call out someone or something for being try hards or cringe you are the absolute last mother****er that has any right to say anything.
You spent years sucking off Nick Athan and making up lie after lie with him because you crave attention. You then bailed on him, but decided to slither over to your Facebook friends. You let your mentor Nick take all the heat from the lies you two made up, but instead of cleaning up your shit and growing up like most people do you got worse. Youre a full blown incel because your mom didn't give you enough love. Kinda sad really. There isn't a more cringe, try hard on this entire site. |
That's cool, buddy. I hope you enjoy some TV shows this week. Even the gay ones.
|
Didn’t see a Nick Athan reference in the Last of Us thread coming.
