From the gameplay vids I've seen on YouTube, a lot of part ii was ellie turning up on the infected. Sign me up! You must have skipped the parts where she gets her thrown ripped out a shit ton of times Everything in Part II is aggressive |

Just watched the finale. Confident in saying this is the new benchmark for video game adaptations. Very little else that I've seen comes close.

Yeah as others have said, this is a really good show. I could also have seen it working as a movie. 8/10 from me. Wish I didn’t know how things happened because it always takes a little momentum away in my view. Seasons 2 and beyond will be just as good if not better I’m sure.

I accidentally posted this in the thread for TLOU part 2 the game, but yeah season 1 is getting a BluRay/4K/DVD release in July, including a special Steelbook edition, and it's open for preorders in the UK already, and should be made available for preorders in the US soon.

Between Arcane and The Last of Us, it's neat seeing video game adaptations succeed in the television format after years upon years of horrendous movies.

Well, we now have our Abby
Kaitlyn Dever. Interesting choice, I first saw her in Last Man Standing. She'll do fine acting wise, just hope she's ready for the general reaction to this role and everything else.

Try not to do anything stupid like threatening to kill Laura Bailey's baby this time, nimrods. |

Well considering the model for MJ for Spider-Man just got chased off social media because she doesn't meet these dipshits standard of beauty or some crap, I'm not going to hold my breath on gamer rational thoughts. |

All I know is within half an hour after I vaguely tweeted about Dever getting cast, my tweet had five replies of which I can't see, which... is probably just as well I can't see them, but yikes.

Well, we now have our Abby Kaitlyn Dever. Interesting choice, I first saw her in Last Man Standing. She'll do fine acting wise, just hope she's ready for the general reaction to this role and everything else. Okay, so I know I'm going to end up sounding like I'm one of those misogynist, racist, queerphobic Twitter trolls, but this casting has made me way angrier than it should. For transparency, yes I am thirsty for huge buff women, it's my jam. I'm on a wrestling forum, Chyna was one of my first crushes as a child. Abby is like my number one video game crush. It's one of my things. Whatever. But this isn't me being like one of those racist Tolkien nerds complaining about how nobody in Middle Earth can be black, or complaining that my fap fantasy is not coming to fruition in the series (I haven't even watched the first season yet). There is a year until this actor, who looks to be rake thin as most actors are, has to play Abby, and in that time there is no way in hell she is going to reach the level of buff that Abby is in the games. And the thing is, this isn't just a 'not looking like the character' thing. Abby is absurdly buff as a direct reflection of her unhinged obsession with revenge for half of her life that eventually proves to have been futile. If you were asked to describe her as a character, a word like 'buff' or 'swole' or whatever would be one of the first words out of your mouth, if not the first. Some people have suggested she might get CGI muscles or a body suit put on or something, and with how good effects are nowadays, maybe that would work. But you could also have just. Y'know. Cast someone who looks like that??? I admit I cannot name any actors who are as buff as Abby and could handle this acting workload and so who could get cast in that part, but uh, I'm not a casting director, it's not my job to. I simply do not believe that there did not exist an actor who both could have the level of bulk Abby has and be able to do the acting that the character requires for this show. I'm not an idiot, I know this will be a marketing thing primarily (both for getting someone with name value for the part although I've never heard of her, and that TV shows just generally do not cast people with non traditionally attractive body types), but man. It's really annoyed me more than it should have. |

The only person I could think of that is semi buff like Abby is Katy O Brien and she just started getting more showy roles when this casting was finalized. I dont blame you for being mad but it is what it is, as long as you don't hate on the actress playing Abby because of her body. You're not like the rest of the twitter trolls |
