The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Come to think of it, how would a deaf kid manage to survive in a world infested with Clickers?
The same way a rabidly insane murderess would have a gym covering a whole city block and all the roids and hormones available in current civilization, to turn into some refrigerator looking transdude. That is to say it's completely unrealistic.

It always cracks me up when Cuckman goes on of those "gamer" podcasts for and by people who hate gamers and brags about how immerse and realistic TLOU2 is while Abby hangs over him like an extremely large and ugly shadow.
 
They're not seriously going to retcon Sam into being a deaf kid, are they? Come on, he already has a shitty enough deal in the original.

None of the world building in the TLOU makes sense. You have the WLFs going around casually driving humvees despite no parts or petrol production, you can find ammo everywhere, you have wooden fireplaces in the fundamentalist Christian Scar camps, you have a buff woman some how getting enough protein to put on excessive muscle mass, you have electricity being wasted on Christmas lights that somehow haven't burned out in 20 years, you can have a Jewish character lecture about torah scrolls and how awful the holocaust was in a Lutheran Church-to-Public-Building Synagogue despite being born during a world wide pandemic that has destroyed 90% of the Earth's population.

The HBO show is going to bomb hard once the general public tune in. HBO is generally unsympathetic to shows that get low viewership unless they are made cheaply.

From the sounds of it, it might be good, but it won't be a good version of The Last of Us. So they might as well have just bought the rights to the world and then told a different story, like people wanted for Part 2.

Also, HBO isn't as bad as Netflix but is still pretty bad on the woke casting front - to be as bad as Netflix there would have to be black Targaryens in the new Game of Thrones show, and I don't know that there are, yet. Still, adding in diversity that doesn't make sense to pander is something all the streaming services are doing to a greater or lesser extent, most likely because they pay too much attention to Twitter and not enough attention to the people who actually pay for their subscriptions rather than sharing a friend's account.

So what is this TLOU thing that will be released though? The HBO series reportedly won't debut until next year, and (I think) Naughty Dog is still hiring, so....

It's sort of a shame because I think video game adaptations have a better shot as shows then movies because like games they have more time to develop their stories and characters over 10-12 episodes then a 2 hour film. The shame part is this is the crappiest time to try to adapt things into TV shows because of the forced diversity quotas even when detrimental to the product. You already have to overcome the not so great history of game adaptations you don't need any other trials piled on top.

really depends on the source, most of the time the characters are so flat there's not much you go on. like how would you characterize doom guy (before 2016)? people shit on the super mario movie, but they were facing the same issue.
that's why video game adaptions are iffy in general, most of the time you need to make stuff up on your own to appeal to normies, where even when entertaining enough usually doesn't go over that well with the fans because it's not exactly the same (or even as they expected it), like the street fighter movie

This reads like a combination of low IQ and something like the manic phase of bipolar disorder.

Or maybe it's a language generator ("AI") that was trained solely on the diaries of people with severe mental illness.

Or maybe it's just Neil Druckmann.
It's most likely Neil Druckmann, haha. The dude's pathetic enough to do this.
 
"there is no extra or exaugurated violence"

Abby literally beats an old man to death with a golf club after shooting him. That whole sequence was drawing out Joel's death for no reason other than wanting the audience to suffer the death of a popular character in the worst way possible.
And then posthumously go “actually, HE was the bad guy all along! Don’t you feel bad for Abby?”
 
That's probably the only reason why there's a TV show and a remake of the first game in the works, who knows how many things they will retcon in order to make Joel look like a monster so Abby will look better in the second game.
I fully expect that garbage to get shoved onto HBO Max and completely forgotten within a week beyond the shills trying to keep it alive.
