Still mindboggling that they cast her. We could've had Spaeny

Ellie casting sucks cuz the actual scene meant a lot in the story. More sadness in her voice and thats all linked to joel. Instead of singing it to impress dina she is trying to remember the chords joel taught her

That's ridiculous. They could have made this so much easier on themselves and the viewers by simply making the extremely obvious decision. What a frick up.

This is how you do Take on Me in a tv show.

I know. The mf that was making his own movie and just a huge TLOU fan was able to nail the casting better than the actual TLOU people.

It’s not just a look thing either. Cailee is an extremely capable actress, and Bella is just terrible

Was Spaeny going to play Ellie? I remember hearing that Dever was approached, but I never knew that spaeny was as well. I just know she's always been at the top of fan casting.

HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us’ Review Bombing Surpasses The Game’s Review Bombing


quote:

The Last of Us season 2 is now heading into the final half of its rather short seven episode season, and things have been somewhat…different this time around.

The first season of the show was praised for embodying the game well, outside of a few critiques, and critics and fans essentially agreed on its quality, a 96% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 87% audience score.

Season 2? Well, something’s changed.

As it stands, season 2 has a nearly-matched 95% critic scores to season 1 while the audience score has dropped a full 45% compared to season 2, and is now down to 42%. This is, ironically, something that mirrors what happened with the game, which received sky-high critic scores (a 93 Metacritic and it went on to be one of the most-awarded games of all time) contrasted with a 5.8/10 user score. Now, the sinking of the show’s second season has blown by even that low water mark.

The best thing about this show is the endless meme content. May be the goat in that regard.

Yep, there's a lot of funny shite out there. I've always said I hope Bella stays away from social media because it's freaking brutal

Glad that Jesse (and hopefully Tommy) has showed up. Those smart clickers are terrifying.

Get a Joel flashback next episode.

Thought Ellie’s acting tonight at the end was the best she’s been.. she actually looked menacing and intimidating for once
