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

The Uncharted movie is taking stuff from 1-4. So it's not going to be a 1:1 retelling and will deviate.

Ah, okay. I couldn't see that from the trailer. Interesting.....

ZMOT said:
eh, fillion doesn't really fit the role imho (bit too old and more dork than ladies man I associate with nathan drake), but he certainly does a better "charming rogue" character than tom cruise in mummy. boy did that clash.

Yeah, that version of Drake does veer on goofy and he's deffo 10 years too old minimum. It still felt kind of fun, though....

I think there's a bit in the Tom Cruise version of the mummy where he's called 'young man'. It was an utter desecration of a great action franchise.

Pascals gotta demand a high price after The Mandalorian. Sure he doesn't show his face in the show but everyone knows of him because he was in some Starshit. McConaughey I don't really see being that demanding since he hasn't really been in too many big hits recently and the budget for True Detective was about 4 million an episode where reportedly TLOU show is 10 million an episode. Granted much more of that budget might be allocated to SFX compared to TD. Viggo doesn't really seem to care much about budgets for films as long as he finds them interesting so he might have just said:

I've had a thought. Many TLOU2 fans say that Joel deserved to die because he condemned all of humanity to die by saving Ellie. I honestly wonder what these fans would do if they played Life is Strange and at the end they had to choose between Chloe and Arcadia Bay.

It's basically the same situation only on a smaller scale. Everyone in the town dies if Chloe lives, but everyone will survive if Max kills Chloe. Most LiS fans have been pretty split on the ending choice (except for people who dislike Chloe obviously) so I assume TLOU2 fans would be in a similar boat, save Chloe or the town?

If they chose Chloe, essentially all these TLOU2 fans have indirectly admitted that they're hypocrites. They chose one girl over the deaths of others because of their close connection with the character. That means Max and/or the fan deserve a good golf club hit as punishment.

Also, Chloe is kind of a selfish bitch from what I've seen of the game, anyway. I dunno if she has any development or an actually valid excuse to act like a cunt all the time.

Quite a bit, and his dynamic with Ellie was what I enjoyed most about the game.,,

Uh, this game would just end up pissing me off, wouldn't it?

So I did some digging into TLOU 2, and is this an accurate summary of the ending?

Tommy, who somehow survived a bullet to the head at pointblank range, peer pressures Ellie into tracking Gigantor to California (a sizable distance from Wyoming, remember how long it took Joel & Ellie to go across the country?), causing her girlfriend to dump her. She takes down a slaver organization and finds Gigantor strapped to a cross, and decides to help her instead of leaving her to die. She then changes her mind and goads Gigantor into a fight by threatening her version of Ellie (who seems more like a Mulan situation than an actual transgender, but whatever).

They fight in ocean water, Ellie gets three of her fingers bitten off (wouldn't her blood end up infecting Gigantor?), and she's within seconds of drowning Gigantor before wussing out due to a mental image of Joel (why would he give a shit about his Judas?). Gigantor leaves to helm TLOU 3 (if it ever happens), and Ellie sobs pathetically.

She travels back to Wyoming to find out that her girlfriend left, and finds herself unable to play Joel's guitar anymore thanks to Gigantor (ever thought of flipping it over and playing it with the other hand?). Depressed about her worst fear of being alone being fully realized, she abandons the home for parts unknown, left an utter failure who fucked up the only goal she had the whole game (all this after killing dozens of foot soldiers, what would one more kill be on her conscious at that point?).

Jesus Christ, this thing really is like The Last Jedi for video games. Did Neil despise Joel & Ellie or something?

Oh yes, it only further solidified my decision to stay away from the game.

Why should I play a slightly refined version of the original with the main characters getting ruined for Gigantor's sake?

Because you can't appreciate the narrative genius of this game, how it really shows that mankind is not intrinsically good or evil, that going on a crusade of revenge is a fool's errand, and you're a fucking misogynist if you don't believe Abby absolutely could look like that!

...is pretty much the entire defense anybody's ever given the story for butchering beloved characters for absolutely no goddamn good reason.

And yeah, I absolutely 100% agree with you that the trans kid set-up feels way more like Mulan and really paints a bad picture of legitamate FtMs because it implies they make the decision not of their own free will but in order to survive a shitty life situation. Not that this was EVER BROUGHT UP by the game's white knights, of course.

Yes. It's fucking virtue signaling. I'll laugh if this ends up like Blizzard's hyped up female co-leader who fucking flaked after only THREE MONTHS.
