  Wild how the show tried making Ellie dumb when it was literally known in the game that she was being groomed to be a fedra captain/leader because of her intellect and survival skills

  My biggest complaint is the shows violence, or lack there of, whenever i say this. it just get interpreted as &quot;Not enough blood&quot; but thats not what i mean. The biggest example i can give is the kansas/pittsburgh ambush,, in the show ellie and joel just step out of the car and take cover, doesn&apos;t show their care for eachother while the game, ellie gets grabbed and Joel kicks the man then slams his skull into a table, it shows Joels desperation to care for ellie, and he would go far beyond just protection, even before the hospital. The show needed more violence and even then this is a game about raw human nature and the show kinda forgets that

  Giraffe scene is such a game moment. to me the shock of the giraffe scene cant work if joel and ellie were not working together the whole time doing task like finding planks and ladders to traverse and build a bond you feel that distance when that mechanic is missing or played with...<br><br>Therefore When ellie becomes distant after david you feel it because she is not as responsive making you concerned for her then she finally does it and then runs off making you more concerned for her, then boom giraffe scene... we dont get that feel in the show and it could never even come close to that ...

  Ashley Johnson’s Ellie is the greatest acting performance ever imo

  I think a reason you don&apos;t see much hate for the game right now is that people who actually disliked part 2 didn&apos;t even care to watch the TV show and I&apos;m including me, I really really disliked part 2 and I&apos;m not a mindless hater, I knew I didnt like the source material and most likely wouldn&apos;t like the TV adaptation so I didn&apos;t &nbsp;even bother

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QVhBEAMiTA&amp;t=2532">42:12</a> so happy to see someone else has noticed moistcritical&apos;s ability to switch his opinion based on what the internet thinks and you also showed how contradicting he and the internet as a whole are.

  Took me a while to understand the same thing that you said at the end of the video. I spent so long getting annoyed by other opinions on Part 2 that I forgot that I was the one letting them take my joy away. Great video essay.

  I think Bella was just unable to effectively portray the same maturity growth in season 2 that Ashely Johnson did in Part 2.

  About the fan criticism: I 100% agree with basically all of your video, including the part where it&apos;s basically impossible to have a discussion about it. It&apos;s either the greatest thing since the sliced bread, or the worst piece of media ever created.<br><br>For me, the issue is with the player emotions (other comment). Which also means that I was looking forward to a linear interpretation of it, which I, arguably, didn&apos;t get... Why is Abbie shown on her revenge quest without the surprise twist, why isn&apos;t she &quot;unlikable by default&quot; anymore, Why isn&apos;t Ellie on a quest, why it feels more like a fun road trip most of the time, Why show scars as humans before showing them as danger, what was that boat trip to scar island about, including it&apos;s WTF resolution etc. etc.<br><br>The porch talk took the cake by a mile. I was literally angered when they shown that and I&apos;ve shown my wife how the events unfolded in the game for comparison. How they put two dialogs, separated by months, into one dialog, with a timespan of one minute, and how they just expect it to work... How series Ellie doesn&apos;t talk to Joel basically, because of a hunch, and then discovers the thing and accepts it in one line. <br><br>I didn&apos;t like the game for how it treats the player and I dislike the series for how it treats the original story.

  The issue with the last of us is that it was clearly made to cater to a fanbase that analyzes and enjoys the discussion. It was made to be played meticulously but considering the studio and their popularity its no wonder why we get the average gun and ball gamer

  Other people&apos;s opinions about something you enjoy shouldn&apos;t diminish your own enjoyment. If they do, it likely means you&apos;re placing too much value on external validation. You can either seek out like-minded people and form your own echo chamber, or simply accept that others might not enjoy it as much as you do and that&apos;s totally okay.<br><br>Again, you don&apos;t have to &quot;join&quot; a fandom for something you enjoy, nor do you have to force yourself to seek out discussions about it. You can just... enjoy it silently and move on with your life.
