It sounds like it could have been an automated action, given that the TLOU2 leak occurred around April 2020 (?), and Sony and Naughty Dog Poop went all-out to copyright strike anyone that talked about the leaks. Or maybe Cuckmann is doing that as a proactive measure, before Season 2 of the HBO Show releases, but it isn't expected to come out until 2025 at earliest.
I really think TLoU live action series kind of started a concerning trend in video game adaptation.
"The Normie Pleasers"
video games used to have a niche audience that was usually harder to please than the average mouth breather that is just living life in automatic pilot mode. That, however, has changed. Gaming became more mainstream and, consequently, normies became more involved. But normies are still normies so their enjoyment is rather superficial, they like the pretty colors, the "intense gameplay" and "engaging cutscenes". They dont care about the deeper introspect details of the experience, once its done, they nearly already forgot it even happened. Or buy merch, that too.
Where Im getting at is that video game adaptations have changed accordingly. They no longer need to try to please the niche core audience that may never be satisfied, all they gotta do is satisfy the normies that obviously wont be hard to please as all you need are things that look like the game JUST ENOUGH so they are happy. Sure, the niche audience will still be displeased but they "statistically" dont matter anymore, their hobby doesnt need them to stay alive anymore. All they gotta do is put Pascal as Joel so normies will say "OH LOOK, ITS THE MANDALORIAN" because he was in The Mandalorian, therefore, this is kind like The Mandalorian!
After witnessing the Fallout series and seeing what a normie pleasing circle jerk it was, it truly set on me that they arent trying to please us and failing anymore, they are trying to please normies and they are actually pulling it off.
Which leads to me seeing that there is a chance Part 2 will be much more well accepted among normies because they lack the deeper connection to the characters and setting. Some will be upset, sure, but they can handle those looses because they have the normie cattle mostly buying into their BS.
Funny thing. The military is still active in TLOU. Meaning they probably still have scientists. If you want to pull a real villain arc, have them pluck out Ellie's eggs for embryo harvesting. Then you need the sperm of someone immune (or compatible), and a compatible surrogate. If there is one immune person there is more. But then it does raise the issue of the maternal-fetal environment and whatnot.
Maybe thats a bit villanous but considering Ellie was ready to die "for humanity" (aka, just to give her life purpose), her just donating her eggs for science would be the safer alternative...I mean, lets face it, Ellie will never have children so its not like she would ever use those eggs.
But knowing the style of the writing, Ellie will somehow have an issue with it and say "thats wrong" as if to say her sacrificing herself is good but just donating a part of her she will never use for humanity's benefit is bad.
I'll confess this detail flew right over my head. You're performing brain surgery in an OR you can just walk in, with no proper ventilation and filth. There was no way they were getting that cure.
Im very sure this was one of the many reasons that made Joel snap and terminate them all. If I saw all of that and heard they were going to cut the head of a girl I was practically raising now to get some retarded 1 in a million chance for a cure, I too would go into a murderous dad rage rampage.
Eh, they're gonna just fuck it up since they're still employing Hollyweird writers and have fucking retarded people on staff that will find a way to sabotage success. Also I don't think that 2 would be liked simply because it's just a shit story no matter what; even if you don't care about the games, some roided up rando murking a main character and getting away with it will annoy even the most basic of casual, since that's shit writing 101.
Like yeah Fallout did fine, but even then its finale was dinged on even among normies, since they thought it was a retarded ending to a "mid but kind of fun" show.
think it's really just genes sadly, jake lloyd (the phantom menace kid) had the same issue for a while where it looked like his face didn't grow at the same ratio as his head.
Why is the actress for Dina more attractive than the in-game model?
WHERE IS THE JEW NOSE DRUCKMANN? DON'T WANT ACCURATE REPRESENTATION FOR YOUR OWN PEOPLE? The synagogue is gonna be great, I'm calling it and who else is excited for Bigot Sandwiches IRL?
And we know there are people breathing today that would unironically pick the the latter. Maybe humanity deserves to die off if that's the case, clearly we fucked up somewhere and it's time for a less retarded race to take our place. I did say previously that IRL Ellie wouldn't be seen fondly by history.
She was downright cute in TLOU and despite an attempt to correct the male gaze with shitty tattoos and a perpetual sneer in TLOU2 she's still pretty attractive.
This lumpy goblin thing doesn't even remotely resemble either version of the character.
In fact the both the actresses for Dina and Abby look considerably more like the Ellie character than the actual actress that's playing her.
can't believe sony let the cuckman get away with the open celebration of genocidal colonizers... this is why you don't date and politicize your games kids.
