What's the story about the Shaggy VA?

Also, regarding Chris Evans larping as Steve - you don't need to tell me that shit.

Yeah Chris, exposing your child to human traffiikers, coyatos and rapists while running across the border ILLEGALLY is a MUCH better and safter option for your children than, you know, doing the work to do it THE LEGAL FUCKING WAY.

I've been thinking of putting FUCK CHRIS EVANS as my custom title next to my Cap avatar, but it's just not creative enough so I'm open to suggestions.

People need to remind him of that time he had whip cream on his junk and a banana up his butt in Not Another Teen Movie.

So the other day I saw Blue Ruin, and it got me thinking about how The Last of Us 2 completely fucked itself over with its whole cycle of violence shit. Blue Ruin has sort of the same basic ideas, even some of the same twists, but it manages to actually be good.

Blue Ruin gets away with its cycle of violence themes because, by the end, the revenge story ends up becoming emotionally hollow and meaningless. In the end, it's just a bunch of people murdering each other over something pointless, but rather than use this as a way to piss off the audience, Blue Ruin opens itself up emotionally. It's downright tragic that events unfolded the way they did, and the movie implies that everything could have easily been avoided. This even affects the protagonist, and as the movie reaches its climax, you get the sense that he realizes that everything has been for nothing but it's far too late to fix it, and he feels compelled to end it. That is a real cycle of violence and how people will endlessly perpetuate it. Where Last of Us 2 fails at this is that it's trying to get the audience to sympathize with a character who outright murders a protagonist from the previous game over a twist that's only introduced to set up conflicts that have nothing to do with the previous game. There's no real way to set up that same moral ambiguity that Blue Ruin sets up, at least not in any smart way (especially since the game has to frame Joel as a psychotic bastard to justify Abby's motivations). Even Blue Ruin gets this right when it's revealed that the guy the protagonist kills wasn't even his parents' murderer and that the real murderer died of cancer years before, showing that the protagonist's quest for revenge was ultimately meaningless and destructive. The twist doesn't come out of nowhere; it's foreshadowed repeatedly throughout the movie, and because revenge is the movie's central theme, it's able to tie that twist into the core of the movie without shitting all over continuity.

It also helps that Blue Ruin was directed and written by someone with actual talent.

The Last of Us writers was never talented or original. Hell The Last of Us was just a worst version of Telltale's Walking Dead season 1.

I literally said out loud 'That nigge.r did not read Blood Meridian.'

The book has no punctuation, uses anachronisms that you have to look up in a dictionary. It has untranslated, ARCHAIC Spanish. This faggot read the cliff notes. No fucking way that cuck read the book.

This is one nigga that did read a Cormac McCarthy novel:

I don't know much about Troy Baker except he's the voice actor for Joel and that's it - but it feels like he lives vicariously through Joel or something going by his last Twitter rant of I AM JOEL.

No, you're fucking not, Troy. Joel was a fucking chad who took out an entire base of bastards that were going to dissect a 14 year old. You're acting like a limp wristed pussy who obviously cares more about your paycheck than what made TLOU so appealing to people and would rather play dead than fight for that. And to talk down to fans like this is such a shitty thing to do.

Mark Hamill is also an apparent Trump hating leftist, but even HE was disgusted with what Rian Johnson did to his character. He took every passive aggressive shot at the films because even he knew they were an insult to everything Star Wars was.

I don't agree with his politics - he bitched at Ivana Trump for posting a picture of her kids wearing Star War costumes for God's sake and that was a pretty pathetic display. But I can respect the fact that he obviously saw the bullshit writing in Star Wars for what it was and at least TRIED to fight on behalf of the character and the fans.

Mark Hamill took a shot at kids, who have zero control over who their parents/grandparents are, for wearing a Star Wars uniform because he doesn't like their grandfather's politics? Well, my view of him's just gone goddamn sour. That is pretty fucking pathetic.

As for Troy Baker- I get celebrities pretending to be their character on social media and at events when it's all in good fun. But he was definitely taking things too seriously when he did that rant, and "I AM JOEL" just comes off as cringe. He could have just as easily said "Well geez guys why not just wait until the game comes out, give it a chance and decide for yourself" and it would have been a thousand percent more palatable and less condescending than the rant and the video.

Troy Baker's been in a lot of things, but as a person I really only remember being kinda turned off by him years back when he was at some awards show (the BAFTAs?) accepting an award on Ashley Johnson's (Ellie's) behalf and he claimed that her winning an award and The Last of Us having such a "strong female character" was a "watershed moment" in gaming history or something, and it just really rubbed me the wrong way because it came off as that feminist posturing about how "Current Year's Female Characters are the only strong female characters that have ever existed, none have existed before today."

Also, fuck this noise:

Troy Baker hints Joel has a dark past & possibly hurt women/girls in TLoU
In an interview with Fandom, the voice actor who plays Joel in the critically acclaimed Naughty Dog videogame, The Last of Us, claims that Joel has a dark truth and ‘close-minded’ people won’t like The Last of Us Part 2.

This is like the Titanic hitting the iceberg, and instead of trying to mitigate the damage they just start hacking away at the hole with pickaxes to make it bigger.

Sounds like Cuckmann is using the remaining crunch time to forcibly ruin Joel just a bit more because he delusionally thinks tearing down A = raising up B. He probably picked that up from his other idol hacks in the Hollywood world.

Of course, this brainland idea is ignoring that you still need to do the latter to actually do the 'raising' bit.
