“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk

Ellie Williams is my all time favourite fictional character and seeing her being so blatantly mischaracterised in Season 2 is why I’m so critical of the way Craig Mazin wrote her.
Shoutout to Bella Ramsey who did their best with whatever script they got.
The TLOU games explore what love causes you to do. So it's out of love that I offer some critiques on TLOU S2.
I'll make this short. Let's start with the central theme of TLOU2 story:
"If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself."
The game nailed that. The show didn't.
I absolutely despise the trope of inserting a therapist into a story to let the main character talk about how they're feeling and why they're thinking it. It's such hack fraud writing
i guess this isn't bad performance-wise. i do not like her outright explaining her motivations to him after she explained to the audience in the first episode. it's such a far cry from game abby, there's less anger and more of a sick pleasure to dever's abby that i don't get
not gonna lie this scene feels so dumbed down in comparison to the scene in the game, why is she just telling us her motivation instead of the story naturally conveying it to the audience?
no ellie and dina smoking scene…no tommy on the patrol with joel and being in the lodge with him…no dina finding and trying to comfort ellie right after that scene…no big beefy muscles on abby….#TheLastOfUs
