Enjoyed that a lot. Being such a faithful adaptation it seems to have the same ups and downs as the game though, exceptional intro, then a bit of a slump before they leave the QZ.
Final shot was beautiful

By Old King Rob Go To PostThey should have made Sarah -> Ellie and Ellie -> SarahYou mean swap the actors? It would have been fun watching people lose their shit over a black/biracial Ellie.
Yeah that’s what I meant
But for years I heard it’s just whoever the better actor for the role is, so it shouldn’t be a problem

I agree Nico did a good job tho
Props to the actress playing Tess, she doesn't do that weird out of breath whisper talking a lot of actresses do in dramas. She comes through with bass in her voice and speaks like a normal human being.

By RATHasReturned Go To PostCan you find me some examples of that?
It's like they're speaking from the back of their throats, and taking all the bass out of their voices.
There's a hell of a lot more, once you notice it, it separates the good actors from the bad. Another one is actors/actresses who are breathing heavy & out of breath even though they didn't run or do anything that warrants heavy breathing.
By RATHasReturned Go To PostCan you find me some examples of that?Literally every line from Rebecca Ferguson
lol I've never even noticed that
great now something that never would have bothered me will forever bother me

I had my volume to max whenever she was on screen.

It was done in House of the Dragon too, think it's for drama but once you notice people doing it in scenes where they should be speaking loudly it's hard to get by. I understand if there's clickers or zombies or whatever else is around, but in so many shows people are whispering for no reason at all, like the Lord of the Rings scene. Danai Gurira can't even turn it off now, she was doing it in Wakanda forever.
Tess speaking loud and clear with bass in her voice is great.

I hope they make her Asian, black or hispanic, anything other than white just so I can watch the internet collapse on itself.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostI hope they make her Asian, black or hispanic, anything other than white just so I can watch the internet collapse on itself.Tried to talk about the show in another forum (the biggest forum for fans of my football team), people were complaining that Bella Ramsey was only cast as Ellie because she was gender fluid and the internet would go to shit if they didn't cast anyone LBQT+ friendly.
Of course they also complained about Sarah being black.
By LFMartins86 Go To Postpeople were complaining that Bella Ramsey was only cast as Ellie because she was gender fluidThis was only publicly announced a few days ago. Doubt casting would have known a couple of years ago.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThis was only publicly announced a few days ago. Doubt casting would have known a couple of years ago.Of course that wasn't the reason. Pretty much every review I saw said that she was the standout star of the show over Pedro Pascal.
I haven't watched Game Of Thrones but it seems obvious that she is a good actress and she has a connection with Pacal from GOT.
The ironic part is the guys that talk about the "woke" and "libtards" crowd complaining about everything everything are the ones who pick on every little thing to complain.
If someone uses woke as a negative thing I immediately tune out.
Edit: That reminds me of Gina Carano's latest movie that was a massive bomb. Released by Daily Wire as part of their "movies without a woke message", it's been heavily criticised by conservatives for by a woke movie with a female lead that is "as strong as Arnold".
By Kuma Go To PostThe opening scene had me cooking.I'm wondering if they will be doing a cold open for every episode.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI'm wondering if they will be doing a cold open for every episode.Lined up well with what they did in episode 1, yeah
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI'm wondering if they will be doing a cold open for every episode.
Maybe. A good way to add the audiobooks/logs to the show.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostHey this is still good whats going on
HBO cancels out videogame adaptation
speaking of videogames: that bit in the first episode where the burning cars blocked the alley so tommy had to go around it was very videogamey.
By Not Go To Postyeah the mass writhing in waves thing from a distance was cooler than anything in the game
I feel like they can bring the spores back but make them more limited, the way they were in the game nobody in the world survives that. The fungal network is a nice touch though.
By Laboured Go To PostDamn, fraud Neil couldn't even get a basic bird eating frog shot to work.Oh so you had a fake frog AND a real frog on hand, Neil? Nice try
4,000 frogs died in the making of this production
Why spend 9 years of your life on QA and maps when you can take one year to tell your story in a way that gets you that sweet twitter trend dopamine? This is what he always wanted. He's going to Game of Thrones himself; part 3 on TV first
By Not Go To PostNeil is never going back to video games is heAlready working on the new game baby. Prestige television is his side hustle between shipping classics.
Last of Us 3 getting handed off
