It's funny how Ellie in the video game looks pretty and Abby is unattractive but it's the exact opposite in the show

Not sure how I feel about the slight storytelling differences between the video game and the show so far this season

Ramsey says. “But I got quite fixated on the way that Ellie looks in the game and her physical stature and, to be specific, the muscle definition in her arms. And I didn’t look like that. My body type isn’t that. I talked about this a lot with Craig, and he never put that expectation on me. He wanted me to look strong and feel strong, and that was in how I carried myself, my posture and the confidence you have. It was a challenge for me to let myself off the hook for not looking computer-generated.”

Not helping matters was the fact that the game character’s metamorphosis versus real-life Ramsey has been a point of obsessive fixation among fans online. Even a casual dive into X and Reddit can uncover next-level cruelty aimed at the actor for not meeting their unrealistic expectations. A few months ago, Ramsey deactivated their social media accounts. “I always knew that I’d deactivate it one day and never even really wanted to have social media in the first place,” Ramsey says. “It wasn’t like this big dramatic thing, but there was an element of it that was thinking about the show coming out for season two. If I just avoid Twitter and Reddit, which now I’m doing, then everything’s totally fine.”

Yet watching the season, Ramsey has greatly evolved, in many ways. The episodes call for Ramsey to play just about every possible note — from comedy to horror to action to romance (and also learn literal notes, as they have to play guitar and sing). As Mazin puts it, “I’m not interested in the physical aspect, I’m interested in the emotional maturity and the change in personality. I’ve watched Bella grow and start to find her own two feet. … And I feel that in Ellie completely.”

Or, as Pascal puts it, “The evolution of Bella’s Ellie from season one to season two reflects their own development of independence. It isn’t an independence learned or formed, but one that was always there and given permission from themself to live freely.”

Surprised how slow this season is going. Not a complaint, could have felt rushed if the last two episodes were done in 1 episode, but this might take 3 seasons to cover the second game at this rate

The was slow paced?

?????????????

Game Abby is cute af .

This season is only 7 episodes and they still on the prologue of the second game. I think this season is great so far I'm just saying I anticipated them covering more ground by now

...the scene with abby and joel happens around the 2 hour mark in the game too, are u ok?

I would not have predicted the show follow the game hour for hour lmao I'm not understanding how that's a big deal. This season is 7 episodes so we only getting 7 hours into the game? I was surprised by that personally

For the record I love the game and show. If this means we get 4-5 seasons and they really flesh some stuff out I'd love that. I'm just surprised

Sources tell me we're not ready for Crashout Ellie

wtf

I can appreciate them it’s just that video game Abby comes across as a little too butch for me

Ehh

Muscle Mommy

lmao aight
