The mere presence of homosexuality in a story that has nothing to do with homosexuality is not the least bit suspect? How many movies in 70's,80's,90's were centered around great stories with homosexual characters just for the sake of making the homosexuals? Yeah, imagine the original Star Wars with its great story but the twist is Darth Vader is a trans.... Nah, they used to tell original stories that leaned on good writing. I've watched series and movies that make sense to have gay characters because its tied to the entire plot. Like Moonlight. I don't like them making characters gay just simply because. Its woke trash...
Not sure its far superior to the first three season of TWD, so far its been impressively good. TWD season 1 was just as good.
There were rumors she was transgendered and she wasn't, she was just buff. Nope. It was just a bunch of incels upset they couldn't jerk it to a female video game character, much in the same way they're lamenting how the green M&M isn't sexy anymore. I'm guessing those people hated this episode. Interesting how they used this point in the story to flesh out the relationship between Bill and Frank. We never really meet Frank in the game and Bill's homosexuality is only hinted at. In the game you fight a bunch of infected and have to search the town for parts to get the truck running. The show focuses squarely on Bill and Frank and Joel and Ellie just show up at the end, grab the truck, and leave. So far, this show has been a blueprint for how to tell a video game story without getting trapped by all the video game elements that don't translate to TV.
The 3rd episode was garbage and it's not because it was homosexual and most of it not in the original game (which is a valid criticism in its own right but I'm not bothered by it if it was a positive change). However, seeing as it was just a long drawn out extremely boring side episode that had almost nothing to do with the main storyline or the game, I do have to rate it as garbage. I came to watch zombie apocalyptic world, not love stories in an apocalyptic world. The Bill section of game was sooooooooooo much better than this utter bull HBO just pulled off.
You realize that ~90% of the people watching this show never played nor give a crap about the video game?
And I would rather watch the live TV version of what happened in the game that the snooze fest I just watched. Garbage, absolute garbage. I dare say most people would rather watch the game's section that this episode.
But the show is called "The Last of Us" and not the "The Last of the Zombies", so the focus would be on the last remaining people, right? It reminds me of when folks were upset that the focus of HBO's "The Leftovers" wasn't about the reason why half the Earth's population departed. I mean... it's right there in the title.
Cmon. Let's be real. Some of the scenes were over the top and didn't even fit into the plot. I've played the original game probably 20 times. The episode was drawn out.
So torn on which way to feel for episode three. Before the first episode I said to a couple of my friends who were about to watch - and hadn't played the game - that there were 5 or 6 things from the game that I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation over seeing how it's done on the show. Two of those things were from meeting Bill, and now obviously not going to happen. Spoiler: Spoiler The introduction to the first boobytrap hanging upside down fighting off infected and Clickers. Not only this though, the whole time going through the town was amazing in the game. And the second, being the hunt for the car battery which results in the gymnasium fighting a Bloater for the very first time. I know with the second point we're going to see one eventually - but the game interaction revolving around Bill was so much better On the other hand though Offerman acted the f*ck out of that episode and was absolutely amazing, I couldn't even care less they devoted an episode into fleshing out a character who's only interaction in the video game is Spoiler: Frank seeing him hanging after killing himself since it meant more Offerman.
Yeah so it's clear that for you, characters cannot be gay unless there is some plot justification....which is just...bizarre? Would you ever say this about straight characters? Just admit you hate homosexuality and own it dude. There shouldn't have to be a reason as long as it doesn't negatively affect the plot. Explain how homosexuality negatively affects the plot of the last of us. Otherwise your use of 'woke trash ' is clearly just code for 'gay is bad'. Not sure what I am expecting though, your answers so far pretty much say it all.
it would have been more boring if it was a straight couple for that entire episode. Spoiler im surprised ron swanson died too. i figured this episode was creating the backstory for his character, who would be in the rest of the series. it was a slow episode, but i assumed there was a purpose to it...but it was just a one-off about two characters who will not be in the story moving forward. in that respect it was odd to spend an entire episode on them.
How odd the same exact people who **** on TLOU2 **** on the third episode. It's as if the quality of the content isn't the issue, but the culture wars. It's so pathetic. Honestly a great episode because by the end of the episode I felt like I just sped run through a gauntlet of emotions seeing an entire relationship start, blossom and end. Like it felt like an entire season's worth of character interactions by the end of that episode and therefore the emotional connection was strong.
It's probably because you hear from trash click bait outrage farm YouTube grifters. The second game provides 2 seasons with of content easily
White man=Small Penis. That is who uses “woke”. Can’t handle strong women, anything “gay”, dislikes people of color and immigrants. b****es about “race-switching” of fictional characters. That is you, my friend. If the world doesn’t revolve around white heterosexual males, you can’t handle it.
