    I’ll probably give this show a shot, but damn, Walking Dead fell off so hard

    The Pedro Pascal TV Multiverse is better than the Marvel Cinematic one:

    GOT
    Narcos
    Mandalorian
    Last of Us

    It's the Walking Dead if the show actually had a planned conclusion.

    This wont go on for 20 seasons doing random s**t every season to crank out episodes. It will go for 3 seasons and tell it's complete story.

    There are only two games and I hear the 2nd one was a woke fest disaster. Not sure about 3 season's of great source material.

    Then you heard wrong. The extent of the "wokeness" is that a main female character wasn't masturbation material and that upset the incels.

    The only problem with the second game is that it's depressing AF, excessively so IMO

    Reviews said there was explicit geh butt sex scenes with two dudes, Ellie is geh and there was a muscular chick that pretty much beat up everyone.... Iono, sounds pretty woke to me.

    I'm normally too chicken to play those kind of games or watch those sorts of TV shows / movies. I like this one. I watch it with the wife, so she is my buffer against the jumping moments. Lol.

    dont remember anything remotely like the first thing your list (probably incel right-wing projection given their propensity to secretly love/engage in the things they b**** about the most); if the last two things on your list constitute wokeness does that basically mean you hate anything that has homosexuality (even if it isnt being presented with any message or agenda) in it or has a muscular woman in it? bc like...this is the world you live in brah, homosexuals exist and not all women aspire to be subservient housewives. you must hate life or try really really hard to stay inside a primitive bubble.

    You are right, it was the muscular chick and not a dude. I apologize. I don't care that she was gay, I just hate woke propaganda in entertainment. Its so forced. If they want to write gay characters that's fine but now n days they sort of just push this whole gay/trans agenda towards soo many people that aren't. Its the new way of making characters "edgy" or "sophisticated".... Its neither, its lazy writing and annoying. I did not play either of the games. I don't know if Ellie was was gay in the original or not. If she wasn't in the original and then was in the 2nd then that's the woke leftist movement for ya.

    but again...how is the mere presence of homosexuality in a story pushing some type of agenda? what about ellie's story constitutes an agenda or propaganda about homosexuality? if you can't answer then consider whether the agenda really exists or you are just insecure (about what, who knows) / grossed out by homosexuality. and own it instead of hiding behind some woke agenda bogeyman.

    Nick Offerman deserves an Emmy for his performance, and I loved how they gave depth and a backstory to two supporting characters (at best) from the game that barely had any importance.

    This show is pretty incredible so far and its only gonna get more intense. Any comparisons to Walking Dead end at the zombies. This is far superior.
