505thAirborne Posted April 14 Posted April 14 THE LAST OF US Season 2 started last night, I thoroughly enjoy it. Captures a lot directly from the game as well as its own personality. Quote
azrael Posted April 21 Posted April 21 I thought they would drag this out but nope, guess we're doin' this. Get ready for some real brutal stuff. Spoiler I would love it if they brought some of those brutal kills montage videos to TV cuz I really want to see Ellie go brutal on WLF NPCs. Yeah she's gonna kill all of Abby's friends but I really wanna see Ellie go ruthless on the NPCs like you can in-game. If anyone thinks Abby is gonna get off easy, keep watching. Quote
jvmacross Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I had no previous exposure to the Last of Us game franchise....really enjoyed Season 1....but was really shocked that they killed off Joel...wtf?!? I am not sure if I am all that interested in any of the other characters, especially Ellie....I find her sort of annoying... It sort of reminds me off how they killed off Glenn from Walking Dead....personally, the show went downhill after that.....the death of Joel is eve worse....he's literally the main character as far as I'm concerned... Oh well....will keep watching for now Quote

Oh well....will keep watching for now Most people thought they were just gonna kill him off last season. I do get what you’re saying though. They made him into such a big character and to be honest I thought it was a mistake to get rid of him for the game as well. It’s definitely going to be missing something big going forward without Joel, but it’s also one of the better shows out right now. Overall, so far it’s definitely better than the new season of Andor, but that could change either with the lack of Joel or the next batch of Andor episodes that could be great Quote
Tking22 Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago I don't know, Joel was a solid character, but I just didn't get as attached as others did from the first game, especially at the end, I figured someone somewhere should be wanting revenge, and there you go. I also loved the story of Last of Us 2, I know it's dark, and the message is pretty much revenge is bad and the cycle to seek it never ends, but it made perfect sense within the context of the first game's events. And the Abby "twist" was fantastic, I loved seeing the other side and getting dual protagonists basically being the other character's antagonist, it all worked for me. Quote

It's why I want see the producers (who also are the game's creators) recreate some of those kill montage videos folks have posted on YT. I really want the producers to show us how much anger and brutality Ellie is willing to demonstrate to get to Joel's killers. Spoiler And yes, Ellie killing Abby's friends will be pretty dark and traumatic itself. As well as the Rattlers sequence. But... I really want the producers to SHOW, not tell us, how far Ellie is willing to go to get revenge. Quote

As I said...I had no knowledge of the game's events so was just enjoying the show without any expectations....but killing off your main character is pretty bold, regardless of the media....it's a great show so far, so will give them the benefit of the doubt that they can keep it going....

Yeah the level of visceral violence in the second game was nearly a character itself, Ellie and Abby both go to great lengths for revenge, and their path there is frakking brutal. like, put the controller down for an hour brutal.
