XAMJ Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Fantastic ratings for HBO!!! I am sure HBO Max and delayed viewership will be insane. Lets see if it holds or improves.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnusualBoy Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ok, I finally watched the first episode and I really like it, the first half was so good, it kinda dragged out towards the middle but it seems the next episode will be fire, can't wait. Also, Pedro Pascal is such a daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that hate it will probably be the ones who think Bill was straight in the game. I know right? I still want to cry every time I read that birthday card in the game. I might cry now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even understand how people could think that? People are just idiots. It’s why I came off social media during peak lockdown and the release of TLOU Part II.

HabbGaga Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 grace makes it seem like its so slow that viewers are gonna drop off, i hope that isn't the case but if the episode is slower like the 2nd half of the 1st episode i could see it happening. it should be heavy on action as well, otherwise it will just suffer the same fate as twd albeit that had incredible ratings for about 7 seasons. i don't even know how this is gonna sell a 2nd season without a certain major character.

Who the hell is Grace? The Walking Dead S2 was slower than S1 as it was double the size and had a lot more character building and it’s audience continued to grow that season and even hit a new series high with the S3 premiere, so I don’t see why TLOU would be any different. Judging from the series preview there is plenty of action to come, but TLOU isn’t a show where you need action every second. Its main appeal and why it has such a dedicated fanbase is because of the characters and how strong their relationships are. It was never about the action. I also don’t understand your last point because… Spoiler If you’re referring to Joel, why wouldn’t he be in the second season when he’s in Part II of the game?

I don’t like what he said about the scene with the soldier and the little boy. I don’t think the soldier hiding her expression was “especially cruel” at all, she was simply staying calm as to not alarm the child. They were trying to euthanise them in the most humane way possible. The commentator must have been watching a completely different scene to me.

You need to put things in spoiler tags. There’s no way they’re not going to adapt it faithfully. Part II was amazing and in some ways, better than Part I. If people want to cry, let them cry. I’d rather respect the creators artistic vision than change things to satisfy the bigots. A lot of people love Part II, it’s just that the ones who don’t go out of their way to tell you instead of just moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FailSafe Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The Last of Us doesn't need to always have an "action" scene to keep the audience entertained. Yes, the infected are a big part of why the IP is successful but there's a **** ton of post apocalyptic series/movies/games etc that have the same concept but end up mediocre or panned and forgotten. Character building/relationship was what made The Last Of Us the monster IP that it is, and if the production team nails it and use it as "window" in between the action scenes, there is nothing to worry about. Not to mention the "slow segment" of the second half of the first episode is literally the most boring part of the game because that's basically the "information dump" part.
