Something about that lol girl kinda scares me
I've seen some other mock-ups including this one, I don't think they'll have them wearing the iconic outfits straight from the game, maybe for an episode and they'll probably look different, they honestly should since Pascal and Ramsey look nothing like the game counterparts so they might as well try shaping new and different versions of the characters rather than just put them in cosplay and have them read the same lines.Just saw this mock-up posted on Facebook...
Well the first game has sold over 20 million copies with millions more watching playthroughs and movie edits on youtube, I wouldn't downplay the popularity of these characters and story and how attached people are to them, it is true that a TV show will bring in more people to the franchise but it's not something like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead where the books were fairly unknown until the TV adaptations came along.People saying what is the point of the show? Well there is a much larger television audience than gaming audience. People who have never heard of the game will watch the series. It's a whole new market.
Casting seems okay. They don't necessarily have to make them carbon copies of the game characters. Most video game franchises are changed in some way when they are made into live action. Resident Evil having a whole new lead character with Alice and the new MK film will have an entirely new lead character also.

Sasha Lane and Elliot are too old for the part, I only saw Bella as Lyanna Mormont and never in a million years thought she could play Ellie, however seeing some videos of her on other shows and behind the scenes makes kind of see why they went with her, though I think there were better fits, Kaitlyn Dever was suggested a lot and from the stuff I've seen her in she would've killed the role.When she turned up in His Dark Materials I thought she looked odd, and had forgotten she was in Game of Thrones as well.
It's not a face I'd associate with Ellie, which was initially Ellen Page in my mind. Now Ellen's an Elliot...
I'd rather they'd have made a clean break and gone for someone like Sasha Lane instead.

Oh damn I didn't even know Dever was 24, I thought she must've been 18 or 19! Her character in Booksmart gives strong Ellie vibes if you ever check that out but it's definitely more of a teen movie to play in the background and not really aimed at people like you or me.Elliot definitely is. Sasha's a year older than Kaitlyn - time has really flown since American Honey. I've never seen Kaitlyn in anything as I only managed to get through the first episode of Justified.
Bella can definitely act though.

What happened in the second that was so bad?I wonder if they’ll change the story. Nobody is a fan of what happened in the second. And Abby is hated.

Yeaaaaaaa but at the same time they kinda destroyed the hopeful nature of the first one. It is implied at the end before tlou2 that Ellie knew Joel was lying but she believed him out of her love for Joel.If they change TLOU's conflicted ending they may as well not even bother make the series. It's core to Joel and Ellie's relationship, which was set up in the prologue with Joel losing his daughter.
The conflicted ending directly leads to the tension and dynamic of TLOU2.
Abby killing Joel created a powerful storyline for Ellie.
Ellie's failure to forgive Joel while he was alive, and her decision to avenge his death as a means of atonement, sent her down a dark path. Just as Joel's rescue of Ellie in TLOU sent Abby down her own dark path.
Two unstoppable forces on a collision course, and up until the end I was hoping the two girls could find some resolution before it was two late. For me, Abby became the more sympathetic character. She was the one looking to atone, while Ellie was the one creating conflict through vengeance.
Joel's actions at the end of TLOU, born out of love, broke both girls. By the end of TLOU2 Ellie had lost everything.
If TLOU had ended on a happy note, without Joel's lie, and without Ellie's survivor guilt and her doubt about Joel's retelling of events, it would've lost its power.
TLOU2 is a tragedy generated from TLOU's love story. Both parts are driven by primal instincts, with the grim inevitability that it would destroy both Ellie and Abby before they both realised the insanity of their actions.
Half ass killed beloved charactersWhat happened in the second that was so bad?
Sounds like a sequel alright.Half ass killed beloved characters
Horrible development.
Bland characters
Destroys the great family dynamic theme Joel and Ellie had in the first by making Ellie pretty much hate Joel until his death.
Forcing a character who we don’t really care about down our throats.
Might as well have not done the second game
It was a mess. People hated it. People called it the last jedi of video games. Also the marketing basically lied to you about the story. They killed the franchise horribly. It’s sad cause the first is considered a masterpiece. However gameplay is solid and the environment is detailed. The story is just a messSounds like a sequel alright.
That's one thing the tv show can fix. They already made changes to the cast, for better or worse, so changing the outcome of the story and learning from the game's backlash might make the show better and less predictable.It was a mess.

That’s what I’m hoping for. More development on certain events. Like the sequel didn’t touch on the virus, why Ellie is immune or Joel’s past. Just some focused on big buff woman and her quest to find protein .That's one thing the tv show can fix.
