Ciel Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Reading through the last few pages has been interesting...I didn't have any expectations going in tbh but the spore concern is certainly valid. I'm just...over the moon that there's a live action adaption in general. & even though I know what's going to happen, it still feels like I'm re-living the experience I had with my first playthrough in 2013. I'm super hype for what's to come I completely forgot how much I adore Joel & Ellie. & if there are plans for a part 2 adaption....whew I won't be able to handle it.

Not awful but not spectacular either; just enough for me to continue watching and hoping it gets better truly better. Honestly, it's probably better for people who have never played the game or watched a play through on YouTube or something. If I had gone into with fresh eyes like "oh, what is this brand new show? Lemme stream!" then maybe I wouldn't be as disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slate Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Loved the first episode I'm not much of a gamer, so I never actually played the game but I always thought it looked very cool and intriguing. Happy we get this now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if you didn’t enjoy the show, it is what it is. Everybody has different opinions and I’ll always do my best to respect that. But I personally loved everything about this first episode and I’m a huge fan of both games. I’ve also spent a lot of the day watching people react to the episode on YouTube and most of them had played the game and they all loved it. But like I said earlier in this thread, the world would be boring if we all liked the same things. Also, you better stan the best MCU character Miss Maximoff.

I personally think the show is even better if you‘ve played the games cause you‘re getting a lot more backstory.

I agree because getting to see more of Joel and Sarah’s relationship and Ellie with Marlene has been amazing. The show feels like a directors cut of the game to me so far and I’m here for every second of it!

The game never mentions what actually happened between them. Stuff like that will elevate the game to even greater heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand why bigoted people would play a game like TLOU when it’s clearly inclusive. But yes, I am so excited to see their story fleshed out.

Dystopian Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 i don't think the spores are that important to the story, they served as a game mechanic. the infection is still based on cordyceps which sets it apart from zombie franchises.

We can all love different things, but what we won't be doing is deny Ms. Maximoff her flowers. Taste recognizes taste! But I'm glad the community is liking it so far. We all need some joy in this abysmal world so I will never knock that ! Edited January 16, 2023 by Scarlett Witch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some people (bigots) are still in denial after all this time. TLOU2 also got a lot of hate from those idiots for its „wokeness“ it‘s not even worth arguing with them.

Spoiler I wish I was lying. I’ve seen people saying they were just friends. Did they not read the letter Frank left behind or pay attention to the fact Bill referred to him as his ‘partner’ - I actually can’t cope with the sheer ignorance of some people. I’m excited for the episode but I just know we’re gonna get the usual ‘woke’ and ‘forced LGBT+’ comments even though he’s always been gay. I never argue with those types of people though, because it’s just a waste of time. I’ll go back to being open-minded and they can go back to not realising the human ass can indeed be washed.

This is pretty much my stance on it as I feel like storylines such as… Spoiler Dina finding out Ellie is immune can be rectified with her being bitten instead of breathing in spores. There’s more than one way to show that somebody is immune, so I have faith they know what they’re doing.

There’s an eye icon on the formatting bar above where you type your replies, highlight your chosen text and click that and it’ll put it into a spoiler box. Spoiler I assume you mean Abby? I actually really enjoyed her as a character and wouldn’t mind seeing more of her. In some ways, I preferred her journey with Lev over Ellie and Dina’s which I didn’t expect.

Spoiler That reminds me of the people who were in denial about Ellie being a lesbian for the longest time. „Riley was just a friend she cared a lot about“ even though Left Behind couldn‘t make it any more obvious how in love she was.

Spoiler I remember seeing people complaining about Ellie being a lesbian in Part II like it was some sort of new revelation? These are also the same weirdos who lusted after her even though she’s 14 years old. 🤢 There was nothing subtle about Left Behind, so I don’t get how these peoples minds work. Cordyceps would probably improve their personalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absofuckinglutely I wanted Ellie to go find and kill her in the worst way possible, but then they switched it up and I started realizing how damn similar Abby and Ellie actually are. I don‘t know how anyone can love Ellie, while hating on Abby. Let‘s not forget that Abby let Ellie live TWICE, but she chose to go after her again and again. They both lost the person they loved the most, which led them both to a very dark path. I could write a lot more, but honestly i‘ve had this conversation so many times with people before, i‘m tired.
