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

I'm sure those of you who watch Todd in the Shadows are familiar with his phrase "Delayed Flop" that he coined in his Trainwreckords video on "Witness", where he explains that it's a phenomenon where something manages to get really big and sell really well through sheer hype and artist goodwill alone, but nobody truly likes it and the artist ends up paying for it big time on the next work.

Something tells me whatever NaughtyDog does next is going to be that for them. Optimistic rate me all you want, but the toxicity from both sides of the TLOU fandom, how controversial the last game was in general and NaughtyDog's indifference towards their fans plus reports of their being shitty to animators (not to mention the remake of the first game, which they just can't seem to leave the goddamn fuck alone) is gonna doom whatever chance their next property is.

I wouldn't rule out whatever they produce next getting panned. They burned all their goodwill already with the most controversial game of a generation. Druckmann chimped out in twitter after it came out posting happy merchant pics he was getting in his inbox and not once addressing the actual problems people had with the game. And given the state of the world, you can't hide behind you being a kike anymore.

Whenever they end up doing TLOU3, I definitely see it doing even worse than TLOU2 in terms of sales since players that are staunch supporters of the first one that were ruse cruised into the sequel that felt betrayed won't even attempt at giving it a chance. I won't doubt at all there's a massive data dump of the game right before release just like last time, that probably cost them tens of millions. Whoever in the dev team that hated globohomo enough to put that out deserves a medal.

Tommy's VA came up with a new nickname for people that didn't like TLOU2, dogs:



The irony of that nickname, with how Drunkmann said that killing dogs wouldn't be a mandatory thing, but in one case it was, really stands out.

Anna Torv, who plays Tess in the HBO TLOU show, was interviewed about the show. One detail of note was the scene where she is surrounded by infected:

You go out with a bang, literally. What was it like filming the scene where Tess is swarmed by the infected? They look terrifying!


Yeah, they were pretty gross. The prosthetic guys did such a great job. The kiss was all CGI so I didn’t quite know what that [scene] was going to be. I don’t know what the point of it was? I’m like [squirms] gross.

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

There is also the fact that Carl is dead in the show when he remains living way into adulthood and even becomes a father.

You know its bad when even most of the actors and crew believed killing Carl off was a mistake. One the show hasnt truly fully recovered from.

Yeah, killing off Carl was one of the dumbest decisions that show made. I was honestly expecting them to keep the 20+ year time jump and have either adult RJ or Judith being the ones to carry on the legacy, but I guess not. Gotta make money from those spinoffs!

All the Negan clips I see pop up now are the same reoccurring scenes between Negan and Maggie where she's angry and crying at him or some shit talking about Glenn. It's become Days of Our Lives with occasional zombies.

I mean George A. Romero himself described TWD as "a soap opera with an occasional zombie", and that was LONG before all the Maggie-Negan stuff went down. I guess some things never change.

Maybe it's just a good show

Twin Peaks was a good show that, until 2017’s revival, should have had more seasons to begin with because fans wanted more of David Lynch

The Last of Us: The HBO Version™ is a “good“ show that has to remind you how much of a good show it is while trying to alienate the original fanbase of the video game. Gamers in turn disliked it and instead of getting a good sequel, we ended up getting the opposite and a TV show that no one asked for besides Hollywood trying to appeal to gamers through (obvious) pic related:

I mentioned earlier, but a TLOU show had the potential to crush TWD in it's peak if it came out shortly after the game.

This show is just another jewish vehicle to make White characters non White and force feed more globohomo shit. Go woke go broke is bullshit since these companies have endless resources. These things aren't meant to make money and they haven't been for a couple years now. They're to desecrate Whiteness.

Cape shit is over. All that's left is this Bolshevik propaganda. They lost half a trillion last year and they're not missing a beat to double down on it.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Like... is there any reason to raceswap Maria, Joel, and Sarah outside of woke brownie points?

Doesn't Hollywood keep hiring Pedro Pascal because he is part of an elite political Chilean globalist family with special connections?

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

So I gave the first episode a shot, and it's surprisingly okay, not great, but I expected it to be worse. I'm not a fan of shit like the zombies now having tendrils coming out of their mouths, which they have even when the infection first kicks off and they've been turned a couple hours at most, (You see one old woman clearly infected but not hostile yet during a daytime scene with Sarah and she has them when Sarah bumps into her during the night) if you want that shit save it for weeks old infected and not people who just turned.

Also at the end of the episode while Joel beats the shit out of a soldier when he, Ellie, and Tess are held up at gunpoint and discover Ellie is infected, he's in the same position he was in when Sarah was shot and killed, and the show flashesback to it, considering this is all literally one episode it really shows they don't respect audience intelligence at all.

Still, Mazin's influence on the first episode shows and Druckman's retcons are there but seem fairly minor so far and makes it better than I expected, but I fully expect as the show progresses Druckman retcons will become more obvious and it will be as shit as I expected it to be.

In their defense you gotta consider that Sarah is a black-hispanic girl whereas Ellie is a pasty white gender fluid "G.I.N.O".

The audience might not associate the two girls because of the vast difference and social value-ability there is with both of them.

Bella Ramsey is going to troon out exactly like Ellen Page, just give it a little more time. All the weirdos fawning over her have it coming.

Doesn't Hollywood keep hiring Pedro Pascal because he is part of an elite political Chilean globalist family with special connections?

If that's true, that's fascinating. I thought they were hiring him because he's ultra white passing while also technically being a POC to appease the woke mob and diversity quotas. Hollywood's favorite double whammy.

Seeing how the prologue of the game is one of the strongest narrative beats by far in it, I'm not surprised that the first episode would be a strong start, it's how they proceed after and how long it takes them to eat through the goodwill episode 1 generates.

And now, it turns out the lead actress playing Ellie is a godgundamned troon.

Remember when we thought Halo and the Resident Evil show was as woke and bad as it could get?

god damn that is one ugly goblina

Jesus christ that photo


Was Ellie not supposed to be based on Ellen Page who also trooned out? The Ellie to troon pipeline is very real.

Um. Why do so many people think wokeness is "jewish"? Isn't that anti-semitic? Or is that another slur being used here?

EDIT: Look, i've been seeing many anti-semitic comments on platforms like Odysee ranting about how "wokeness is all a conspiracy by the jews!", and It really rubs me the wrong way.

Why is this remind me of that YMS video of TWD where every actors were gunpointed to hype(rbole) the show and not to say anything bad about Season 2 and beyond?

Damn, is Jeremy kind of spineless. "Its D.O.A" but now he says he is wrong?

Geeks and Gamers are struggling for views, I swear

Some series start off shit, some series give a false impression but even at its best, it doesnt change anything about the problems with the IP and the fact they are already telling this already cinematic story in a game in now another cinematic format.

They didn't even give him any notice about it either. They just abruptly told him they were killing him off.

It really felt like a decision that was done on the last second because they felt the viewership was dropping. It worked, for like, three eps I guess.

Im sorry but they just sound like Goldman when they use that term (with behavior just as life like)

Well, all you gotta do is pay attention to certain paterns and concidences among the highest levels of power.

But I will leave that red pill for you to swallow, I cant do that part for ya.

Fucking what? You better share some of that rabbit hole for me now.

It won't be anti-semitic when the damn jews step up against this degeneracy in masses instead of being stuck up cunts like the world owes them something.
'Till then, very fucking suspicious when almost 2/3 of the degenerate game is conjured by faggots from jewish households with massive mental issues.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

People still listen to Geeks and Gamers?

Remember the dude praised The Last Jedi on release and only changed his mind when it was obvious everyone hated it. Dude goes wherever the views are.
