Yeah, the incels who spoiled TLoU2 plots in random reddit threads when they game came out spread the rumor that Abby was a trans character. Turns out she was just really buff and it made sense narratively: Spoiler: Part 2, beware Abby is so consumed by her desire for revenge against Joel that she turns herself into a killing machine. The WLF is at war with the Seraphites and the game shows us their gym inside of the Seattle football stadium. Abby's life was fighting and preparing for revenge against Joel. Notice how much skinnier (and feminine) she appears in the final fight scene against Ellie after she's been tortured by the Rattlers. Lev is a trans character in TLoU2 but his sexuality is presented as something that breaks the mold of his rigid cult upbringing. He wanted to be a warrior, not a child bride. The incels were also upset that the game confirmed Ellie wouldn't want anything to do with them sexually. If I recall, Bill's sexuality is very obvious in the first game: tons of letters between him and Frank that the player can find and Ellie finds his collection of gay p*rn during a cutscene.
Question: in the game, is the city not a fortress? Sounds like in the game there are infected in the town, but in the show, there wouldn’t be??
Yeah, there are infected in the town in the game. Bill has some safe houses, but there are areas of the town where his security system has fallen into disrepair and infected have gotten in. The episode hinted at the difficulty of keeping this up alone when Joel told him that his fence was falling apart.
Episode 3 is getting some really positive reviews from critics. I personally enjoyed it. As far as more action and more zombies, we'll likely get them in upcoming episodes.
Exactly how I feel, on both accounts. Offerman is amazing, he's such a badass as a person and an actor, dude is capable of any range of roles. Spot on about the comparisons. The Walking Dead is the Big Bang Theory of zombie shows, this is Seinfeld. Its tonally, way different, this is a legit TV show.
There were a lot of movies like that actually from those eras. AND, what you're getting at is - 99.9997% of media content created in all of time is hetero. Gays = more % of population than .0003%. So we're just gravitating towards the mean. Sometimes people are gay. That's life. GOOD LUCK.
Spoilers bro. Episode was super poignant. This is powerful TV. I won’t be able to watch weekly if every episode is like this.
The show is following a path set by the game. I would rather see the "us" in the QZs under duress, or the "us" fireflies, or the many other "us" you are referring to that are not an hour plus of love story not relating to anything in the game but small references and overall 2 minor characters. It was boring garbage that did not have the intensity and world building from the first 2 episodes or likely much to do with the rest of the series. It just didn't fit whereas the Bill's Town section of the game did fit. It just seems somebody said "F it, I'm gonna do this whether it makes sense or not." And don't make it about homosexuality, it could have been Bill and Sally for all I care, if it followed the same story beats it would still remain absolute garbage.
I'm assuming you didn't watch the end of the episode where Joel and Ellie were reading the letter by Bill if you don't understand the relevance to Joel and Ellie's character development.
It incepts main dude to take care of the george washington girl in an interesting & meaningful way. BUT - if you just want more zany characters talmbout government conspiracies, mushroom/fungus, disease & guns, go listen to Rogan.
I did. I did not need almost the entire episode on a snooze fest side story connected with a letter at the eND. Garbage story telling
Oh well. We obviously have different tastes. For me at least, tv shows that incorporate humanity and slow nuanced relationships make the action and horror scenes more impactful.
