I actually do want more of what the game offered in its excellent story, or stuff like episodes 1 & 2, not the ish HBO is making up in the 3rd episode.
The thing I don't appreciate from your posts is that yes you might disagree with the direction for the episode or it was too boring for you but saying it was trash kinda makes it more clear that the culture wars issue is a strong part of your hatred towards the episode. We can agree to disagree on the direction and whether it was boring but "trash" implies poor dialogue, poor acting, poor set designs etc. Don't let the culture wars cloud your judgement.
It frames the entire story for Pedro P. & Ellie going forward in a meaningful way, you simpleton. m3 w@Nt m0R3 vId3o G@mEEe3
WTF? Why are you making ish up? It's trash storytelling and it's got nothing to do with culture wars, homosexuality or whatever weak reasons you try to excuse poor storytelling. I've said they could have the same exact episode replacing the same sex couple with a male/female couple and it would remain trash.
I want more quality storytelling, not garbage side story barely related to main story. Cut down Bill and Frank to 15 minutes tops and add more action like story in the game. Disagree with me if you want but I've not personally attacked anyone or made fun of posters on this board, unlike some other posters who can't disagree without insulting or demeaning others. All I've criticized is the direction of episode 3.
Are you implying I am? Because I didn't like episode 3 for reasons completely unrelated to sexual preferences? Check my posts in this thread and find where I said I didn't like it due to the same sex couple. You won't find it. Perhaps you should check your own biases first before accusing others.
Different than the game by a lot. Also, co creator does not mean that he didn't change things for worse (episode 3) or better (episode 2 death) as part of a TV creative team.
I mean you seem to have some reaction to that term? Did your incel teenage son get a hold of your Clutchfans account for these posts or something?
I read through the past three pages and yeah.... it kinda is obviously about sex for you. Of course you made excuses about how it didn't stay true to the story, didn't progress the two main characters, etc. etc. but those excuses fall apart when you actually address the critiques. Bill's one episode arc with Frank is solely there to drive Joel's motivation to protect Ellie. Bill is a mirror protector that Joel see's himself in, and sees himself as a failure because of Tess, and Sarah. Which is why the end just cuts like a knife when Ellie reads the note from Bill with Bill saying to protect Tess while Joel is looking at Ellie. That's the whole point, and nothing serves Joel's arc more than this episode. The fact is if a women fell into that pit for Bill to find and protect it would have been too duplicative of Sarah, Tess, and Ellie's character's with Joel. The show needed to diversify the "Lone wolf and cub" dynamic that we see three times with Joel with three different but similar females. So arguing that this doesn't serve character, or whatever comes off as a disingenuous critique. I mean if you don't like the show, and just want to see zombies get shot there are plenty of other IP's out there. However you are watching "The Last of Us" which even as a game has always had a ton of LGBTQ representation. Like... dude.... you knew what you were getting yourself into. If you have a problem with episode 3, you are going to HATE seasons 2 and 3. I recommend you just watch Zombieland for the straight white gamer fantasy action version of the Zombie apocalypse. I get it to an extent as a straight guy. I don't enjoy watching men getting busy with each other, but I can also get over it because the acting, and the story was so good, and you really felt that these two guys really loved each other. Seeing Offerman come out in his first scene as basically Ron Swanson during the apocalypses (which fits so well... it was awesome) and having the kind of arc he had while always being that character was incredible to watch. Truly one of the best acting performances I've seen in who knows how long.
So we're back to making stuff up? I don't care about their sexuality, the story was garbage, had barely anything to do with the main storyline other than a letter and didn't have action like the Bill's Town section of the game. I could barely stay awake through that snooze fest of an episode. They could avoid all LGBTQ content in episode 3 and it would still be garbage. I guess people just want to make up reasons to support their own biases that have been refuted. Go ahead, excuse the garbage writing in your head to justify your own biases, it was a trash episode and it has nothing to do with sexual preference or LGBTQ content.
A frame for frame adaptation would be garbage, like the Psycho remake. HBO is making stuff up for a show that was written by Druckmann and Mazin? Yet another thread becoming unreadable without the ignore function.
