The Last of Us Season 2: Electric Trannygaloo: The Movie: The Thread Anonymous 04/08/2025 (Tue) 03:57:55 Id: 2f9241 No. 1087091
The review embargo just lifted for this wonderful series which I know is near and dear to the hearts of many a /v/irgin, so I am making this thread so we can discuss how the TV adaptation of our favorite video game is going! To start off, here are a few noteworthy articles >'The Last of Us' Season 2 Review: Somehow, the Best Video Game Adaptation Ever Only Got Better https://archive.ph/udHG4#selection-1005.0-1005.94 <While the first game is a fairly straightforward narrative that made perfect sense for an adaptation, the second game, The Last of Us: Part II, is a story that felt like it couldn’t exist with the same power in another medium. There are years of flashbacks, multiple changing viewpoints, and some of the most tragic and difficult losses you’ve ever had to reckon with in a video game. It should be a logistical nightmare for any TV series, and yet, with Season 2, Mazin and Druckmann prove once again why HBO's The Last of Us is the strongest video game adaptation ever. At times, the show might deviate from the path, but it all works, even heightening and improving a phenomenal season of television that does justice to arguably the best story in video game history. >Pedro Pascal Wasn’t Allowed To Play ‘The Last of Us’ Video Game https://archive.ph/irHu5#selection-1005.0-1005.63 <During a video interview prior to the release of The Last of Us, Pascal confessed that while showrunner Craig Mazin asked for his leading actors not to play the game, he picked up the controller anyway. "My nephews were watching me play and eventually got tired of my inability to complete the level, so they took my controller from me," Pascal told IGN during the video interview. "But then we started shooting the show and living in the world ourselves!" Go ahead and post about this shitshow's progress and what your hopes/expectations are, then discuss it in full once it releases! Maybe we'll even get a little /v/-style watch party going? It'll be just like the good old days of watching Gone Home gameplay!!!!!!!!
Also forgot to note that IGN rated Season 2 as a 7. IGN. Rated this show. A 7. You know what that means.
Would need a streaming time so anon could suffer together. At least for a few episodes.
world's lowest bar has been whelmed a second time
Isn't a 7 from IGN like...really bad? They have shit taste and should love the show's politics.
LOL
>>1087092 Their cheque didn't clear in time, obviously.
Pedro Pascal not managing to even finish a fucking walk simulator says a lot about him.

>>1087214 >second image I feel like a disgusting pervert for liking such thick, pudgy bodies.
>>1087214 >another culture war thread Gee it's almost as if this 8chan as well as /v/ on the previous 8chan were entirely created because of culture war stuff. Since, you know, we weren't allowed to talk about certain topics since Moot picked a side in the culture war. Or we were forced to find a new home again because people against us in the culture war decided to use the actions of a lone nut as an excuse to try and silence us again. I wonder why so many people here would find it a frequent topic of conversation.
>>1087092 Basically nothing because the bad shit gets boosted to 7 and the good shit gets downplayed to 7? Even in normalfag spheres the "IGN 7/10" started to become a meme. Although yeah the beloved journo darling franchise barely scraping a 7 does raise an eyebrow.
>>1087327 >spoiler. anon, i assure you that liking soft, meaty women is natural. I assume it's like hugging a big teddy bear. A big teddy bear that you can fuck that is.
>>1087091 I hatebvideo game adaptations because they ruin what game should be, a fun interactive experience. But was last of us ever meant to be that? It's a cinematic shooter that is bassically an antithesis of a video game. I hope neil drunkmann will get killed in the most torturous way.
Hey /v/ Dodge this
>>1087936 GEEZ JOEL I TURNED MYSELF INTO A POTATO! I'M POTATO ELLIE!
Was the original TLOU good, or was it just a movie game?
>>1088054 Shit movie game, the epitome of 7th Gen trash
>>1087214 Why the fuck would you want nuNaughty Dog to make anything? You want Jak and Daxter to come back as trannies or something?

>>1088054 Like >>1088056 said, it was cinematic dramatic trash. Not even fun as a video game, which is why nobody talks about the gameplay of TLoU, only the story I recall once upon a time, /v/ on 4chan loved the game and never shut the fuck up about it when it came out. And guess what? I was the ONLY one in those threads trying to call everyone out for being suckers, since I knew the 'game' sucked dick through a straw.
>>1088054 TLOU 1 was always an "Oscar bait" video game, anyone with a brain could tell what it was trying to do at the time. Only thing is that sometimes Oscar bait works, I never cared enough to actually play TLOU1, but what i've seen of it i'm sure it's fine if you're interested in games that care about their story first and foremost. The idea that the game starts out with the "Apocalypse" starting and you're trying to keep your daughter safe, only for her to die anyway, I'm sure was something that hit tons of people in the right way, and put them in Joel's shoes when he met Ellie, then they connected an bla bla bla, it's obvious enough why the games story worked. If rumor is to be believed then Amy Hennig might have been involved in TLOU1 to some capacity before Neil Fuckmann got her kicked out of Naughty Dog, but regardless if Amy Hennig was more directly involved with TLOU1 then it would be better, and TLOU2 Obviously wouldn't be shit. Because she has actual tallent as a writer, unlike the Hacks still at Naughty Dog. Amy knows how to make a narrative good while also knowing how to please the Intellectuals and commoners in an audience, because she studied Shakespearian writing, you know, like someone who it's their job to actually write good shit, rather then just writing to stroke their ego.
>>1088062 >I recall once upon a time, /v/ on 4chan loved the game and never shut the fuck up about it when it came out. Literally all console war autists and actual shills. Everyone with a modicum of taste was jerking off to MGR
>>1088068 I'm a little skeptical about the whole Amy Hennig thing because she worked on Forspoken and we all saw how that turned out.
>>1088075 Hennig had no part on TLoU, that was Bruce Straley, another Gen X numale. He wrote the original TLoU, the DLC and Uncharted 4 before fucking off Naughty Dog for good in 2017.
Reminder that TLoU is JUST Silas Marner "But with zombies"

>>1088054 It’s the kind of game that people who want to turn the gaming industry into another ‘Hollywood’ have always dreamed of making—by non-gamers, for non-gamers. They seem to despise games, the people who built this industry, and the fans who truly care about it. That’s why the first thing they did with Part 2 was kill off Joel, the one character everyone loved.

>>1088090 >>1088101 How do people every dust this shit and prevent sunbleaching? That's one of the biggest reasons why I have a lot of my toys in drawers of the boxes that they came in.
>>1088106 The way they’ve got this stuff set up, it’s like they treat it as sacred, almost like an altar. So, I’d bet they take pretty good care of it. Either the sun doesn’t reach the room, or they’ve placed it where the light won’t cause any damage. I keep my PS1 and PS2 games tucked away in a box under a table. I can’t stand displaying all this plastic shit. It was driving me nuts. I’ve only got two figures, and even though I’ve been tempted, I always hold off on buying more because I hate having clutter around the house. My shelves are just for books and manga, and I clean them thoroughly twice a year, once in the winter and once in the summer. I used to keep the boxes for special edition PS3 and PS4 games, but thank goodness I stopped stressing over that and sold it all. I’m done being a consolefag and supporting this shit industry.
>>1088090 >>1088101 How is there THIS much Last of Us shit out there? All official stuff by the looks of it.
(5.73 MB 1640x2797 legacy of kain.png)


>>1088075 From what I've seen Amy Hennig only wrote the lore to Forspoken not the actual story or Dialogue. Amy wrote Jak 3 which has a good effective storyline, that manages to strike a Ballance of being in the gritty world that Jak 2 was, but still showing there is heart to the people living in it. She also wrote the majority of Legacy of Kain, the only game she wasn't Involved really was Blood Omen 2, and that game has a Noticeably worse story in how it's presented. It's still a good story, but it just doesn't hit the Dialogue the same way the other games do. She worked on Uncharted 1-3, and an Uncharted 4 that was never really completed, and as soon as she was out of the picture they added the bitch Nadine who can fight two grown men at the same time, and is clearly a bad guy, but the story doesn't Condemn her because she's black. Amy's Track record shows she's knows what goes into a good story, and her Career has suffered specifically because of leftists, getting in her way of writing stuff that isn't shit.
>>1088135 The voice actor of Sully in Uncharted, has spoken about what working on the 4th game was right, and none of the cast was Comfortable with Amy being replaced, but they decided there was nothing that they could really do about it, and just completed the work they were given as professionals, so it's Unlikely an Uncharted 5 if it ever happens will have the returning voice cast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FdUkVP3MlE https://yewtu.be/watch?v=5FdUkVP3MlE

>>1088466 Separated at birth assembly line? More likely than you think!
>>1088466 Oddly enough the girl they got to play Abby looks more like Ellie than the girl that plays Ellie, particularly when she was younger. She played the youngest daughter from Tim Allen's Last Man Standing.
>>1088123 When you've got money, you can skip building a franchise the hard way with good titles, fun gameplay, and compelling characters. Just pay off journos and e-whores to hype your brand and shill out money around to make it seem bigger than it is.
>>1088581 The 5 Guys saga continues
>>1088586 Absolutely.
>>1087091 I never played The Last of Us since I pretty much missed the whole 8th gen, is it really that influential as jewtubers say it is? If so what are some games in which its influence can be felt? Not so long ago I made fun of a friend for buying the port on Steam, is it worth torrenting 60+GB just to get the "experience"?
>>1088628 The Last of Us, along with MGS4 is what started the meme that Sony makes movies instead of games, just look up a cutscene compilation instead.
>>1088581 It was the same thing with FF7, Halo and the original God of War honestly.
>>1088628 No, even at the time it was recognized as a movie "game" full of cheap tricks to make you care. It's not even like where everything being a brown cover shooter was clearly copying Gears of War, the movie game thing was in full force at the time. >>1088631 I think PS3 movies was a meme before that. The choice to bundle Talladega Nights with the PS3 completely sealed that reputation.
>>1088628 >missed the whole 8th gen Last of Us was 7th gen actually. About a year before the PS4 came out. But yeah, it was Sony's first "movie game." Well, technically you could call Uncharted (especially 2) onward that since they were very setpiece heavy and "it's like an action movie you can play" was a pretty big marketing point. The difference with TLoU is that it featured an overwrought awardbait story like you'd see for Hollywood shit rather than the campy action movie Uncharted was. So for all the insecure journo and industry types like Goeff Keighly who always wanted the medium to be viewed the same as movies it was exactly what they wanted.
>>1088072 >Everyone with a modicum of taste was jerking off to MGR I've really fallen out of love with that game, for similar reasons to DMC5: it lets normalfags with no care for the franchise as a whole pretend that they are fans. Doesn't help that they repeat the same stale memes. >>1088075 >>1088135 From what I recall, Forspoken started life as a Final Fantasy tech demo called Agni's Philosophy before being divorced into its own thing. Shame, because "runaway cultist being hunted in the not-Middle East" seems like it was a lot more interesting than "sheboon gets isekai'd into a generic fantasy with her wacky white male talking cuff who's actually the villain". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-x4S1L1yZY
>>1088669 MGR and DMC were popular before Gen Z liked it Stop being a dumbass, they're still good games.
>>1088674 I'm entitled to resent specific titles overshadowing the rest due to vapid secondaries, whether or not they're good.

>>1088678 It is kind of a stereotype, though. A v poster suddenly hating something they like previously because it got popular is like a nigger reaching for the fried chicken.

>>1088678 There are other more valid reason to not like DMC 5. >>1088682 A tale as old as time.
>>1088682 Man...... you made me remember all the siege threads here. Motherfuckers were actually playing it, and was surprised at how for once Ubishaft did not go with the slop route on Siege. Until Ela happened, and that is where the downward spiral starts.
>>1088678 >>1088685 Stop being retarded, just because twitter trannys like a game doesn't make it bad.
>>1088782 I don’t use Twitter, avoid Discuck and pretty much all social media. I just know what anons are saying, and they think it’s a pretty fun game. I never played it and i never will, based on what they did to the characters i loved. I’ve always wanted to check out DmC, but I never did because the devs shat on the fans who built up the franchise in the first place. The industry turned me into this monster. I love vidya, but not what they’ve become. Honestly, I’m kinda glad. Now I don’t waste money on an industry that keeps catering to people who seem to hate it and the people who built it. I'm honestly eager for the next DMC. I’m curious if they’ll lean harder into the trannification of its characters or go back to solid, sexy designs and models.
>>1087091 Why does the middle girl look like that? She's very off looking
>>1088809 My inner /pol/ says she's a jew/asian mix. They say that's going to be a big push in media coming soon. >>1088786 The breast reduction one is insane. They want the characters to be female but not visually. It just doesn't make sense. Everyone must be visually genderless it seems. It's like this is the eventual end goal, to visually resemble the stalkers from Half Life.
>>1088842 The way trannies, fags and baizuo reject and despise tits is something I still cannot understand.
>>1088842 >They want the characters to be female but not visually. It just doesn't make sense. Indeed, it doesn't make any sense, but they believe that anyone can "identify as female" no matter how he looks on the outside. So they have no desire to make a female character look feminine, beautiful, or even a little pretty. In fact, some of them might take great offense to the very idea of making that a game/movie design priority. >Everyone must be visually genderless it seems. It's like this is the eventual end goal, to visually resemble the stalkers from Half Life. Erasing any ideas of binary sex from society is one of their end goals. That's why they are so against using the term husband/wife/spouse and insist on using "partner", to make marriage and romantic relationships more ambiguous. They push for the use of "ya'll" or "folks" to refer to groups of people instead of "you guys" for the same reason, even though the term has been used to refer to mixed groups of men and women for decades now. Breasts are, literally and figuratively, one of the forefront ways to visually tell that someone is a woman, whether they are huge or more average sized. If a mentally ill man wants to get breasts so he can look more like a woman, it would involve expensive drugs or expensive surgery. So to appease them, they have consistently reduced the size of female characters' breasts in hopes that it starts to blur the line between male and female. Ironically, they also seem to be the ones that push the idea that breasts are always sexual and should thus be censored, leading to the removal of breast sliders, tight clothing options, and similar gameplay elements. Too bad for any female gamers who happen to have large breasts and want to make the customizable MC look like them.
>>1088868 >spouse But spouse works for either sex. >"folks" to refer to groups of people instead of "you guys" for the same reason Actually that one is for more spiritual purposes. Because it isn't "folk" as-in a community or group, but "folk" as in a united people's consciousness. You know, like the German VOLK in Nazi Germany, and all the esotericism that was attached to that. >If a mentally ill man wants to get breasts so he can look more like a woman, it would involve expensive drugs or expensive surgery. It can be done "naturally", even to the point of lactation, but it's similar to acts like foot-binding in China or those neck-extenders in Africa as the body is not designed to function like that.
>>1088876 >But spouse works for either sex. Yes, that's literally the point he was making. >You know, like the German VOLK in Nazi Germany, and all the esotericism that was attached to that. Yeah, because that's what the SJWs are thinking of. It's totally not just them "ironically" using a term associated with southern (conservative) culture, to try to make themselves seem "normal," while also conveniently being gender-neutral. Again, it's the same with "y'all."
>>1088881 >Yeah, because that's what the SJWs are thinking of <They view themselves as their own people <They have their own flags <They have their "laws" How long are you going to keep going along until you realize that they're not being "ironic"?
>>1088892 I'm sorry, but the obvious connection between their use of "folks" and their use of "y'all" is just too obvious to ignore, but you're ignoring it. Your hypothesis is interesting, but I think it's ignoring too obvious a point.
