You're retarded if you thought that was a statement on Ellie's gender.

I can see this thread has fallen apart to bunch of shitty sophomoric jokes from dudes who never graduated middle school.

I'd be all down to discuss the positives and negatives about the season but it seems the same idiots just want to make shitty memes obsessing over Belle because they cant jack off to her

Most people use the internet to search out their favorite interests/hobbies/media and discuss them, but there will always be trolls that get no fulfillment in their own lives that group together like a bunch of rioters and try to tear down everything else.

Somehow attacking a 21 year old girl with autism is the only thing that gives them a dopamine hit to feel happiness for a moment, so they keep coming back to it.

I only see lesbians calling each other mom when one of them is expecting or after they adopt or one has a kid for them.

It’s either a statement on Ellie’s gender or on her retardedness (Apple is incorrectly telling me this is spelled incorrectly and wanted to autocorrect it to retiredness with no other choices for either autocorrect or the replacing pop up which is also retarded).

It's literally a dumb joke. Good God I never seen people get so heated over a very obvious joke. Y'all are literally gas lighting yourselves

You appear to be the one of the only ones here getting upset. Making memes and jokes about what you are saying was literally a dumb joke doesn’t seem heated.

Regardless this version of Ellie seems like the long lost child of Karl Childers.

Ok, I'll play.

Positives?


The Seraphites are very interesting to me. Often called Scars, they are a primitivist cult and antagonistic faction. They are currently at war with the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) for control of Seattle. I don't know why, but it's an interesting arc. Don't know the game or where they came from or story line.

The show continues to deliver stunning visuals. Was always a fan of the Walking Dead, and it mirrors that vibe so to speak in many ways.

Negatives?

Season 2 has sparked mixed reactions, particularly regarding Ellie’s character and the overall storytelling.

BUT...

The miscasting of Bella Wood as Ellie, her inane dialogue and "bad arse bravado", are among THE "negatives about the season".

Let's start with "Unlikeable Behavior". Ellie’s impulsive decisions and disregard for others have made her a frustrating protagonist for some viewers.

Or:

"Revenge Arc Fatigue" – Every episode it seems. The relentless pursuit of revenge has been criticized for making her seem one-dimensional and overly aggressive.

What other negatives are there in the show? Can't thank of many others (well the millions of infected just rising out of the snow in mass...)

I could go on, but Ellie IS the negative.

"She Has Failed"

While discussing the pressures of following a stellar first season with a second one — Mazin and Druckmann shed light on the ups and downs.

“There’s this thing that happens when you’re making the first season of something where you truly are just rolling down a hill on fire. If you stay alive, that’s a huge achievement. If a show comes out, that’s amazing,” Mazin said. “The second season comes with so many expectations, and we did learn a lot of lessons. And the problem with learning lessons is then you have to be accountable to those lessons. And you’re not allowed to make those mistakes anymore, which is tragic. You do feel pressure to somehow fulfill what people want but also surprise them. You’re now a topic of discussion, whereas before you were just new and surprising. I mean, the bar for video game adaptations was pretty low. We had that going for us in Season 1 — now we kind of fricked ourselves.”


quote:

Druckmann added that it “can feel very scary” doing a second season, just like it did when creating a second chapter of the video game. “People had very strong reactions to whatever controversial story decision we made,” he said, referring to the death of Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller in Season 2.

“He did a thing. Everyone lost their shite, and then I had to do that same thing, because he did the thing. I loved doing the thing, I thought it was great,” Mazin says of the death. “The big complaint that I’ve gotten is, ‘Why did you kill Pedro Pascal?’ And I keep explaining, we didn’t kill him! He’s a man, he’s alive. He’s fine. And he’s in literally everything else. So I don’t know what the problem is!”
