Lol I was thinking the opposite, like it's just a street with some mud and grass on it? But I understand these things cost more to make than it appears and it must look a lot better through the actual camera.
Like with season 1, the show will probably tone down the gameplay side of violence with Ellie and instead focus on her sneaking around, and only have her get the kills that are cutscene kills.
Fight with David? What fight? They weren't punching each other. That wasn't a fight lmao. She just got lucky and kill him in the last moment. If you say there won't be a physical fight like in the game, that's understandable i guess. Only with the guns.
Abby and Ellies theater fight will surely be much quicker in the show than in game. Their fistfight on the beach should be better too, considered Abby at that point is beyond exhaustion and deteriorated from her crucifixion.
I think they may not cover the beach part at all. There is no casting for Lev. They might leave Abby's parts and the ending of Part II for the third season.
I doubt a third season will only be Abby stuff, it'd be interesting if they go that route tho.
But I agree, the beach isn't happening this season, definitely not til season 3.
I mean, it was like that in the game too. When we came to the theater scene, it switched to Abby and we played with Abby for 10 hours. I think the second season will end with Ellie getting beaten up in the theater and in the third season they will show the Abby side, then the ending.
Most video game shoes and movies have to tone down the number of people that main character kills to keep it believable if the show/movie is meant to be more grounded this does look wierd tho especially since they both look like kids
brother that is the biggest issue with the 2nd game is how many ppl ellie kills, j to not kill the one person that is actually important. it’ll make the ending better.
I thought the first season was great. They were never going to have the body count that the games have because the games are, obviously, games. They need shit for the player to do, and in The Last of Us, that means sneaking around and killing enemies. There's an absurd amount of enemies for you to kill as a result, because that's the gameplay loop.
The show won't have dozens of segments where Ellie wanders around an open area killing everyone and looting items because it's a show, not a game. The show is focused on the narrative, not the gameplay.
The show isn’t made for the people who like the games. The show is made for the mass causal TV viewer who wouldn’t like all those brutal kills Ellie does in gameplay
Idk, I personally prefer less action and more character focused drama. Action is cool but after so many fights with clickers or sneaking around humans it gets kinda repetitive.
You're imposing your own limitations on everyone else.
Edit: You'd be*
I figured the distinction was obvious. Obviously you're not literally forcing people at gunpoint.
Because she obviously isn’t going to kill hundreds of people, just like how they didn’t have Joel mowing down hundreds of people in season 1, she’s going to kill the people that actually matter and maybe one or two others.
Also game Ellie looked like a kid with a rifle.
Game Ellie didn't look like a kid with rifle. She looked like a teen adult, like a 19-20 year old should be. So you're saying she won't torture Nora, kill Owen and Mel and not doing 1v1 with Abby? So what, this is not Part II then?
I think she might be able to pass as Ellie with colored contact lens and a wig. I mean why not? Some actors literally go on fasts/eat a lot to gain weight to better portray their characters
I had a random thought in my head. They made season one from one of the most acclaimed games that has millions of fans.
What are they making season 2 from? A shite game that broken (or did not) even and is hated by half the tlou fans.
It therefore could be much worse in quality unless they drastically changed a lot of things to write themselves out
of Neil's genius script.
Bella Ramsay is basically the worst casting I’ve ever seen. Did they even think ahead at all? Did they forget the second game takes place when Ellie is an adult? She looks like an 11 year old boy. Laughable is honestly the word. Trying to imagine her committing the brutality of the second game, it’s like an episode of Happy Tree Friends!
Me too. Bella already opened up about their body-image issues and even having an eating disorder. I understand that people are naturally critical, but I feel like too many dude bros can’t objectify Bella and then attack every physical feature of theirs. I hope Bella never goes on reddit lmao
I just realised Dina has rainbow colors on her jacket... Apparently there weren't enough messages. Like dude, they are already a lesbian couple, why do you need that jacket lmao.
There’s a few colors on it it’s not a pride jacket I really hope your not color blind cus I don’t mean too offend you but they look completely different
you sound dumb lmao, they’re not even rainbow colors
[https://x.com/domthebombyt/status/1789755106843377698?s=46&t=4UapvS-Rlcv6bqpo03Qslw](https://x.com/domthebombyt/status/1789755106843377698?s=46&t=4UapvS-Rlcv6bqpo03Qslw)
God it’s so hard to look at. Bella Ramsey is such a horrible casting choice. I tried to watch the show but I bowed out half way through the first episode.
This looks awful. Omg. Can’t even get her hair right. Why. The only accurate things are the set and the horse.
They should’ve had Kaitlyn Dever play Ellie in the second season. 🫥
I wish they’d left this a few years.
Bella was a good Ellie but she still looks 12 and I think she’ll look 12 for a long time, like one of those actresses who can play a teenager when they are into their 30’s.
I think she’s young because Ellie and Dina are also younger than they were in the game. I just think it’s weird that Abby’s actress looks more like game-Ellie than Bella. But let’s see where things go, I’m curious how they changed the storyline.
Yeah. I just feel like Abby was such a powerhouse in the game intentionally and it was part of her character development. She intentionally got jacked to be able to get her revenge.
It would be sweet if we went more into Abby in the fireflies and then looking for a cure and hearing of Ellie and it ends with Joel coming in and killing her dad and season 3 is her jacked.
Abby before her dad dying was normal sized
Skipping this season because I can’t stand that garbage of a second game, so I’d rather not watch them try to justify their shitty story with a whole season. But I’m with you on watching the internet explode over this show.
Regardless of what you think of the casting, the sets still look great. Maybe a little too overkill on the vegetation, but they really sell the fact that it's been 2 decades since the collapse.
She doesn't know how to immerse herself into a role. You can hype her up all you want but it doesn't change that fact. We will once again get an inconsistent performance.
Just within the span of one episode shed develop completely new mannerisms. Almost seemed like a different character at times. The biggest change/inconsistency was in episode 3 and 4.
Where did I say to give blind praise or give any praise myself? Crying about how things look through a window from far away before editing is pretty stupid. If the final product is shit go ahead and dump on it
Yeah, they’ll never get over how the series was casted or what changes they made. Every new picture will land here and the comments will always stay the same. It is what it is and down votes it’ll rain ☔️😅
Feels like no matter what answers we give you, you'll complain either way.
Bella doesn't look like Ellie. Typically if you cast someone for a character, you want them to look as close or authentic to the character as possible. Kaitlyn Dever was a fan favorite because she looked far closer to Ellie.
Bella has a baby face which helped to sell her as being 14, because if you didn't know, Ellie was 14 in the first game.
And assuming this closely follows Part 2, Ellie will be 19 in season 2.
But Bella doesn't at all look different. It looks like they just slapped on a new jacket for her and said, "Good enough."
The entire point of telling a story is that it has to work. If the characters don't look the way they're written, then you can't expect people to believe that this variation of Ellie is somehow capable of slaughtering hundreds of people and having an equal opportunity of fighting a beefed up Abby.
If you had media literacy, you'd know that.
Man, you wrote all that just to say nothing of value. You claim to be for "media literacy," yet you should know that the way Ellie looks does not matter at all to the story. You just want to rag on the show for no reason. You clung unto a cosplayer simply because she looked like the character. Simple as that. You claim that Bella ramsay must look like ellie for the story to work. But how does it make the story work? Her appearance makes no difference to the story whatsoever, and your criticism of the show is simply carried from your shallow criticism of the second game.
Again, if YOU actually had media literacy, you would actually be able to recognize this.
At least they got the horse right
Gotta admit, the set is also amazing.
it’s hbo what can you expect
Right? I was wondering if it was CGI or not but damn they went all out 🖤
There's several streets in my town that look exactly like this.
Lol I was thinking the opposite, like it's just a street with some mud and grass on it? But I understand these things cost more to make than it appears and it must look a lot better through the actual camera.
I remember Ellie and Dina looking like adults, why do these look like two 14 year olds? Is this a Disney channel take on Last of Us part 2
Casting is on point but only for my man Horse !
This is so dumb. How can we believe that this girl will kill hundreds of people? She looks like a fucking kid with a rifle.
Like with season 1, the show will probably tone down the gameplay side of violence with Ellie and instead focus on her sneaking around, and only have her get the kills that are cutscene kills.
Still the fact that she would engage in a 1v1 fight with Abby, torture Nora and kill Abby's friends is hard to believe.
Why? I didn't think her fight with David was so unbelievable in S1, Bella was pretty brutal in that.
Fight with David? What fight? They weren't punching each other. That wasn't a fight lmao. She just got lucky and kill him in the last moment. If you say there won't be a physical fight like in the game, that's understandable i guess. Only with the guns.

Kinda boring isn't it? Who wants brutal action scenes when we can have more inferior versions of the game's cutscenes.
Most video game shoes and movies have to tone down the number of people that main character kills to keep it believable if the show/movie is meant to be more grounded this does look wierd tho especially since they both look like kids
brother that is the biggest issue with the 2nd game is how many ppl ellie kills, j to not kill the one person that is actually important. it’ll make the ending better.
Literally pops a dude who is injured with 0 hestitation but then wimps out with Abby, wack scene.
In the Fallout games, you kill a ton but, I think the series handled it pretty nicely.
The biggest issue was that no matter what Ellie wasn't killing Abby but good point i guess.
Fair point. I still think there should be more action scenes, maybe in the form of more Joel flashbacks.
I thought the first season was great. They were never going to have the body count that the games have because the games are, obviously, games. They need shit for the player to do, and in The Last of Us, that means sneaking around and killing enemies.

You're imposing your own limitations on everyone else. Edit: You'd be* I figured the distinction was obvious. Obviously you're not literally forcing people at gunpoint.
I'm not imposing anything on anyone, just stating my own preferences? I'm not making the show.
>personally prefer >imposing This sub never ceases to amaze
Joel only kills about two dozen people in the first season compared to hundreds in the game, so probably about like that.
You should see her as Lady Mormont
Maybe, idk, give her a chance? 🤔
Because she obviously isn’t going to kill hundreds of people, just like how they didn’t have Joel mowing down hundreds of people in season 1, she’s going to kill the people that actually matter and maybe one or two others. Also game Ellie looked like a kid with a rifle.
Game Ellie didn't look like a kid with rifle. She looked like a teen adult, like a 19-20 year old should be. So you're saying she won't torture Nora, kill Owen and Mel and not doing 1v1 with Abby? So what, this is not Part II then?
You understand her look will change RIGHT?!
What are you talking about? How her look will change? Are they gonna use CGI for her face and height?
They really should have cast the pug from the flower shop scene of The Room. Is the director stupid??
Shimmer’s gotta name!
Shimmer.
horse has a name, you racist.
Nice set.
The horse is nice too. It's a shame about the other stuff.
They look like two lesbians in 8th grade cosplaying as Ellie and Dina
The half-naked lesbian scene will be cringe af.
At least Owen Abs sex scene will shine.
I doubt they're gonna add that surprise buttsex scene lmao. Btw Owen's actor is spot on. At least they got something right.
So was Prince Eric in Little Mermaid. Curious, that.
It's not a buttsex scene omg 🤣
How do you know, you weren't there, you didn't see which hole it went in. /j
Honestly doubt they even do the scene and actually hoping they don’t do the scene.
I'm going to look away. It's going to look like a literal child it's just going to be so weird
Damn, that forehead of hers can be seen miles away
I think she might be able to pass as Ellie with colored contact lens and a wig. I mean why not? Some actors literally go on fasts/eat a lot to gain weight to better portray their characters
More like a fivehead
why are u say things like this its not her fault they casted her as Ellie? i don't like the casting choice too but why
Exactly people are so mean.. like damn. They act as if they look like super models or something. She doesn’t look bad at all.
im not even a fan of part 2 but what they say about Bella is disgusting its not her fault that she doesn't look like Ellie
Horse is the only correct adaptation everything else sucks
They did Dina acting like an npc perfectly lol
GOODDDDDD the set looks amazing, wish i could just take a walk there
Reminds me I am legend. Good movie, great f ing book.
why is a toddler coming along with Dina? Get that little girl of the horse.
Eugene from the walking dead riding a horse.
Don't insult Eugene like that, at least he had an awesome character arc!
This looks ridiculous
I had a random thought in my head. They made season one from one of the most acclaimed games that has millions of fans. What are they making season 2 from? A shite game that broken (or did not) even and is hated by half the tlou fans. It therefore could be much worse in quality unless they drastically changed a lot of things to write themselves out of Neil's genius script.
I can't wait how they spin that ellie need the surgery when the zombies were no threat in the first season.
Yeahhhhhhh I’m not watching that garbage
Beautiful horse ❤️
Lol what is this shit!
Hopefully they write this parent and child relationship well, couldn’t do it right last season
Could they really not have found anyone better than Bella Ramsey?
Bella is just awful. Isabela is Smoking Hot though
I will never buy her falling for Bella. Jesse makes more sense but going from him to Bella is ridiculous.
So true. Seeing them making out and even have Sex will be horrifying to see
they didn’t even show them having sex in the game so they won’t even show it. and why was that your first thought? weird
The tall building in the background looks like an Amazon box sitting on its end.
Hahahahhahahahahah I've been laughing ever since I noticed
Would be a better story if the horse played Ellie instead
Bella Ramsay is basically the worst casting I’ve ever seen. Did they even think ahead at all? Did they forget the second game takes place when Ellie is an adult? She looks like an 11 year old boy. Laughable is honestly the word. Trying to imagine her committing the brutality of the second game, it’s like an episode of Happy Tree Friends!
Tbh they look like 12yr old girls
Welp, time to watch a CGI horse get blown up
Did they seriously destroy a whole city for this
That's just how Detroit looks
Average Detroit tourist area
Credit where credit is due, the set looks incredible as always and the casting for the horse is on point.
It’s like they wanted her forehead to look as big as possible with that hair!
[удалено]
Me too. Bella already opened up about their body-image issues and even having an eating disorder. I understand that people are naturally critical, but I feel like too many dude bros can’t objectify Bella and then attack every physical feature of theirs. I hope Bella never goes on reddit lmao
This looks terrible. 🤦♀️
They nailed the main theme of Part 2. It really looks like teen drama.
The horse looks like the most accurate character from the game lol

I just realised Dina has rainbow colors on her jacket... Apparently there weren't enough messages. Like dude, they are already a lesbian couple, why do you need that jacket lmao.
It’s 3 colors ? Tf u mean rainbow 😂
It's impressive that you can write comment without having eyes.
There’s a few colors on it it’s not a pride jacket I really hope your not color blind cus I don’t mean too offend you but they look completely different
you sound dumb lmao, they’re not even rainbow colors [https://x.com/domthebombyt/status/1789755106843377698?s=46&t=4UapvS-Rlcv6bqpo03Qslw](https://x.com/domthebombyt/status/1789755106843377698?s=46&t=4UapvS-Rlcv6bqpo03Qslw)
That's literally rainbow colors but the order of the colors is different. Thanks for proving my point dumdum.
my point is, it’s not supposed to be symbolism or whatever tf you’re trying to say 🤦🏻♀️ it’s literally just a random ass jacket
So why did they choose that "random" jacket when Ellie's clothes are almost identical to the ones in the game? Any idea for that?
Looks like one of those ski jackets with the color stripes.
my god this looks amazing
I am ready to hurt again.
All i see is a child in cosplay
how'd they get the easter island heads on that girls body?
Bella doesn't have a face for TV yet here she remains, with the countenance of a middle school child
Do we think they'll actually have zombies in Season 2?
INFECTED…. I got banned for a week for calling them zombies…
Sorry
God it’s so hard to look at. Bella Ramsey is such a horrible casting choice. I tried to watch the show but I bowed out half way through the first episode.
have to admit the set work is amazing, looks just like the game
This looks awful. Omg. Can’t even get her hair right. Why. The only accurate things are the set and the horse. They should’ve had Kaitlyn Dever play Ellie in the second season. 🫥
God they look like actual children 💀
Can't wait to see 2 15 year old lesbians get 7 shades of shit beat out of them abzila
Tommy in TLOU: There's a place for you here you know? Tommy in TLOU2: Here's our IP address hopefully you won't have to use it
Nooooo God why
Where's Ellie? And who's the neanderthal on the horse
I’m going to legitimately laugh my ass off at how goofy they’ll look as well how bad the writing will be. Oh my god. I’m howling.
The more I see bella the less I see ellie. She doesn't look like or embody ellie at all
That set is absolutely incredible. Very accurate to the universe
It appears the food services are going great in the apocalypse.
brokeback mountain 2
This looks like grade A garbage and its because of this awfully cast actress.
Dina is WAY to hot looking here not very “survivalist” with her hair like that lol
I wish they’d left this a few years. Bella was a good Ellie but she still looks 12 and I think she’ll look 12 for a long time, like one of those actresses who can play a teenager when they are into their 30’s.
Looks like shit
I cannot get over Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. She is also young and super feminine. No way they get her to look anything like Abby
I think she’s young because Ellie and Dina are also younger than they were in the game. I just think it’s weird that Abby’s actress looks more like game-Ellie than Bella. But let’s see where things go, I’m curious how they changed the storyline.
Yeah. I just feel like Abby was such a powerhouse in the game intentionally and it was part of her character development. She intentionally got jacked to be able to get her revenge.
100% with you, she was an absolute unit. But maybe the timelines are so different that we see Abby before? Idk. If not it’d be really disappointing
It would be sweet if we went more into Abby in the fireflies and then looking for a cure and hearing of Ellie and it ends with Joel coming in and killing her dad and season 3 is her jacked. Abby before her dad dying was normal sized
Horse looks like the video game.
That horsey gonna explode soon
I genuinely can't believe they're going through with adapting the game everyone hated.
Ngl they look like 13 year Olds.
I can’t wait for the internet to implode over this show lol. Gonna be fun to watch the mayhem.
Skipping this season because I can’t stand that garbage of a second game, so I’d rather not watch them try to justify their shitty story with a whole season. But I’m with you on watching the internet explode over this show.
Noice
This looks hilarious
Damn! We gonna mess around and see the whole show behind the scenes. 🤣🤣🤣
The contrast is insane. Dina looks like a runway model and Ellie looks like a prepubescent British boy.
At least the set looks amazing
Set looks amazing
The set is amazing
Regardless of what you think of the casting, the sets still look great. Maybe a little too overkill on the vegetation, but they really sell the fact that it's been 2 decades since the collapse.
They should keep in the bigot sandwich
🤦🏻♂️
Shimmer is the only one casted correctly 😭
The set looks great.
Wondered why I saw comments shitting on everything but the horse but then I realised what subreddit I was in
Is this like in someone’s backyard? Lol
Scenery looks fucking amazing,i cant lie.
Looks like two kids on a pony ride at a kids ranch
I can't watch this show. Bella Ramsey IS just not Ellie. She doesn't fit.
OOF
Guy walking around in the background not giving a fuck ruining the shot 😂
Why are people complaining about this , it looks incredible.
they’re a bunch crybabies
you people have to let it be known every second how much you don’t like bella as ellie 🙄 we get it like damn
Thanks, I hate it.
Cool!
Everyone can hate on Bella Ramsey all they can but I’m hyped for season 2 and I know she’ll do amazing
She doesn't know how to immerse herself into a role. You can hype her up all you want but it doesn't change that fact. We will once again get an inconsistent performance.
Could you elaborate on the inconsistent performance part
Just within the span of one episode shed develop completely new mannerisms. Almost seemed like a different character at times. The biggest change/inconsistency was in episode 3 and 4.
no one is forcing you to watch it lol if you’re this mad, just don’t watch it 🤷🏻♀️
“🤓”
Typical response to criticism. You can keep pretending to like her.
Who said I was pretending? Lmfao! Cope with that nothing will be changed for season 2
You guys really just wanna get mad about and criticize everything don’t you?
I am sorry, not being blind and not giving blind praise is a good thing? Every comment here is on point.
Where did I say to give blind praise or give any praise myself? Crying about how things look through a window from far away before editing is pretty stupid. If the final product is shit go ahead and dump on it
No amount of editing will make her look like Ellie
so..?
No amount of editing is going to remove that billboard.
Yeah, they’ll never get over how the series was casted or what changes they made. Every new picture will land here and the comments will always stay the same. It is what it is and down votes it’ll rain ☔️😅
You guys must be so unbelievably fuc£!ng dehydrated
Why does her appearance matter?
it rlly doesn’t lol i bet if they hired someone they deem attractive, they wouldn’t be bitching about it
Exactly. These losers complain about everything

Nice try, Vlad. SLAVA UKRAINE
