Regardless of the superficial stuff, it hasn’t made a difference in quality of the show (for me) but different strokes for different folks I guess |

I mean, I agree. But it doesn’t matter to me or affect my viewing of the show. |
Who’s uglier: Bella Ramsey or the chick from Handmaid’s Tale?

He actually did a minor change, and that was Abby revealing why she was doing what she was doing. That did not happen in the game. You didn't find out who she was or why she did it until 40 hours in. Most players never made it that far. |

The story in TLOU2 was ****ing shit lmmfgdao. It got a show because the first game and story was amazing. Now, they're in the process of shitting on that story all over again. Your game sequel sales don't tank 50% with "one of the greatest stories ever told" lmmfgdao. Huffing Druckmann's anal vapor is hazardous to your iq, son. |

Moss could just go on a diet and she's passable. Ramsey is a hideous hagbeast who's literally decided she's not a woman anymore because she's that unappealing AS a woman. No diet, no makeup, no surgery, no ANYTHING can make her attractive. She's very possibly the ugliest mainstream celebrity I've ever seen who didn't have some sort of deformity, disability or physical abnormality. Ever single element of her just came out wrong. |

I have no F'n clue who Druckman is, but you keep doing you sir! You did make me laugh, and for that, kudos. |

I can find photos where Buscemi looks like a relatively average dude. Someone that can hook a 6 in a bar if he plays his cards right. Ramseys best photos look like a really talented artist...did her best. |
Ramsey gets the pleasure of acting in an apocalypse series.
They do their best to minimize makeup use, to make the women look rougher on purpose. She gets to show up with no prep work and fits right into the story. |
Ramsey looks like she walked straight out of a late Middle Ages portrait of a woman. Not necessarily that she looks like one in particular, but because of the very soft and undefined features typical of those paintings before hyper realism took over. King Henry VIII wives are a good example.

His fans clamored for 7 years for a sequel, and in response, wrote what you, and other Druckmann cucks believe to be "the greatest videeogame story ever told" when in reality it was Druckmann setting his franchise on fire and trolling his fans. Whomever was responsible for the leaks prior to the game coming out, they deserve a medal. They stopped about half of the fanbase from getting bait and switched. It appears your definition of greatest story ever told is wildly different from what a normal person would define that as. Does the greatest story ever told have repeated, inexplicably stupid decision made by both established and new characters alike? I think not. Is it ridden with so many plot armor eyeroll moments that you begin to question if any of these characters have an iq above single digits? If you believe that this shit pile that Druckmann tried to spoonfeed his fans is great writing, then I'm sorry but you have zero clue about writing in general.
Spoiler!
The show better get what it needs to say done this season, because there's no way a season 3 is successful. |

Please point on the doll where this Druckman guy touched you. The rant you posted kind of loses it's credibility when it starts off with "thunderdyke". (really gets to what the REAL issue this individual has with the game) But again - you're making me laugh today, so kudos. |
Quote:
Now you don't know the difference between a rant and a list of examples of horrible writing taken directly from the game. It's really no wonder you find the story so great. Somebody probably told you it was, and incapable of any modicum of critical thinking just jumped on the bandwagon. It only sold half of what the original game did, likely because those people duped into purchasing purposely avoided the leaks and spoilers. Had they known what was coming, the game probably doesn't even reach half of the first games sales. |
It's a zombie show.
Really stupid decisions by characters and wild coincidences are the writers' bread and butter. It's a show about fictional monsters. Just have to keep things in perspective. |

Lmao couldn't even pull shit off like this with Joel in the first game. Nah, she's TOTALLY believable. Strong female lead. |

I've played 1 and 2 multiple times. Did I enjoy 2 as much as 1? Of course not, but it's still better than 90% of games in the same genre. You're seriously becoming like indie record store employees - gotta shit on anything that's sold more than 4 copies. Agree to disagree on this one. I'm not going to lose any sleep over people loving or hating it......but your hatred over this is already influencing others to consider dropping off, which is really silly. At the end of the day, this is not the Godfather trilogy. As others have pointed out, it's a post-apocalyptic zombie story (where the story is about the people and not the zombies) I saw the blogs after playing Pt 2.........and it's painfully obvious a huge chunk of the hate is related to gay characters. If that's your thing - cool. I enjoyed Pt 2 - and that doesnt make me right or wrong - it's art, and art is subjective. |

The first season was quite possibly the most overrated show is recent memory.
There was absolutely not one single element of it that hadnt been done before and better...even the first few seasons of Walking Dead were better. The lead actress is not only unattractive but not really even very talented...the other guy was really bad in Gladiator2. I tried watching the first episode of season 2 and didn't make it past the first scene of the five people standing in a park. They had every race represented in that group and the dialogue was stiff...it was a total DEI fail that felt fake. I'm trying to figure out what the appeal is other than to fans of the video game...as an impartial viewer, i'll be sitting season two out...was indifferent to season one. I'll spare myself the ugly "inclusive" lesbian scenes... |
This is quite freaky. Yesterday I was walking up to my house and saw that this had fallen out of our massive elm tree:

Bizarre amount of hate in this thread for what has been a good show so far with some top tier episodes (S1E3, S1E9 and S2E2 stand out prominently).
I’ll keep enjoying it myself for now and I can’t say I really give a shit what Bella Ramsay looks like. |
Wallcrawler is a miserable ****er

Yeah, still having THAT amount of vitriol is something else.

Same here. As I stated before, most movie or tv show adaptations of video games are unpolished turds Its nice to watch something where they’ve gotten everything right as it relates to the experience of playing the game. Now, if they ever do the same for Bioshock, I can leave this earth happy! |
Quote:
As you're incapable of explaining how any of those decisions made any sense to even just you personally my point stands that they're absolutely braindead. So unfortunately, that whole greatest videogame story ever told is a big load of horseshit from simps of the guy that booted Amy Hennig from the company so he could turn it into a DEI factory. And dilphag9, yes season 1 was good because it was based on a phenomenal game that fans begged for a sequel to for 7 years. Funny how that works out if you slept through cause and effect in school I suppose. Now, either read the spoilers which you claimed you didn't want to see, so you actually know what the **** the discussion is about, or run along and ponder the ongoing burning question on whether you'd rather have sex with your mom or your girlfriend. Come to think of it, guys like you who ponder that type of shit are Cuckmann's target audience anyway, so you'll probably rabidly defend this trash regardless lmao. |

I've asked repeatedly for you to explain how any of those examples made sense to you, as a person touting this as one of the best videogame stories ever told. I haven't really seen anyone that agrees with those decisions explain why. I'm open to hearing an explanation, however, explanations defending these decisions either do not exist, or they're kept close to the vest and not discussed. I'm not 12, I'm just highly amused at your refusal to answer the question. Again, how did even a single one of the examples I pulled from the game (including one that the show changed because it was so stupid), make any sense whatsoever to anyone born with adequate oxygen? |

I answered every question you have. You seriously might be rerunned at this point. I can't help you if you don't like my answers. |

We have some winners like "I'm not going to take the time to respond"(while responding and avoiding the question) "Hit the blue tent" and "Are you 12." You also hilariously seem to think that my posts have influence of some sort and that they are making people not watch the show, instead of watching on their own and deciding for themselves. That was in there. While entertaining for sure, it still remains a poor deflection from the list of examples in the spoilers that I asked you for your takes on, specifically. You've provided no glimpse at the other side of the coin. I think this decision happened because......_________. It makes sense to me because....__________. Nothing. Lmao. You've simply abandoned the point while slinging the most pathetic attempts to hurt my feels instead of just giving your takes on what I believe are examples of monumentally stupid writing. |

So look. If I ask someone to repeat themselves, it isn't because I didn't hear them. (Or in this case read it), it's that what was said was so stupid, I feel morally obligated to give that person a do over. Unfortunately for you, this concept flew over your head and chance after chance to have a mulligan was passed on. I find it extremely difficult that you actually believe any of your defense of such idiocy. Now dilphag9, I'd expect this from. He can't help himself and it's not his fault. Maybe you do in fact fall in the target audience for Neil Druckman, and will buy literally anything, and even the most basic common sense is not a requirement for you to not only enjoy the story, but trumpet it as one of the best games stories ever told. "Turn your brain off" isn't supposed to be taken literally. Not sure if you caught the memo on that either. I have a spectacular bridge to sell you, by the way. |
LMAO God Damn dude, we get it. You didn't like the video game and don't like the adaptation. It's been 5 years since the game was released. How's about dipping out of the thread and leaving it for the folks that DO want to enjoy it?

Poking fun at one of the folks trumpeting this nonsense as great writing by pointing out a few examples of the worst writing weve ever seen, and the doing a bit of admitted trolling by treating his hilarious defenses of said decisions as a non response, isn't really anything to wring your hands over. Its pretty standard CP fare. However, there appears to be an ever increasing number of CP posters who cannot process a post more than three sentences long, and in this sect is where you'll find the largest number of supporters of this show/game, because it appears to be too much to ask to think about what you've just seen, and reason out if it actually makes sense or not. Like if you're just full on washing Neil Druckmann's balls, then there's really no hope to get any type of common ground. The show did change one of the most egregious decisions made by a couple of characters in the game, and provided a bit more information about others much earlier, so there has been at least some form of forced logic in the creation of the show. Like, hey Neil, this was really unfathomably stupid how this went down in the game, let's go ahead and give this part the ol rewrite. If they continue to do this with more of the mind numbingly stupid things that happen, the the show still has a chance to be better than the game was. The issue the show has now, is you've still just shit on the main character out of left field, and now your story has to be carried by an honestly miscast actress. Funny enough, the actress cast as Abby is literally the perfect choice to be playing a 19 year old Ellie. |

Someone needs to tell Ridley Scott and James Cameron that their Aliens movies were "DEI". I wonder what their reaction will be.

Furthermore the protagonist has to be female because the Alien is a walking, hissing penis in more ways than one. There's a right way to do a female lead and there's a wrong way. Modern directors keep getting it wrong. |

Mexican Joel in Pedro Pascal. Joel is very clearly not from Chile in the game. He's red blooded American born and bred in Texas. Then he cast Kaitlyn Dever, the perfect actress to actually play a 19 year old Ellie, as the incredible bulk. Otherwise known as Abby. Abby in the game is a 5'9 170 pound monstrosity built like a brick shithouse with Hulk Hogan's arms from 1988. Kaitlyn Dever is 5'2 and 100 pounds soaking wet. Not liking the brick shithouse with Hogan's pythons branded you a toxic fan because Abbys physique was totally normal according to Cuckmann, but somehow Abby is this tiny little girl in the show. It's ****ing hilarious how sideways the casting went for this show. |
I'm still trying to understand why literally anybody cares whether actors look like video game characters.
