Heard a comment a few weeks ago that stuck with me.

"Joker2 was written in the same spite for the audience that 'loved' the main character in the original.... should be called the 'TLOU2 treatment.'

Yup, both original movie (Joker) & game (TLoU) had defenders of their main characters, which apparently wasn't the intention of the writer/producer of each project.
So the premise of each sequel was to destroy that respect each fanbase had for each main character.

Also Season4 of The Boys seems to have the same 'TLoU2 treatment' with a section of the fanbase enjoying Homelander as a character through Seasons 1-3, and the 4th seems to be written in a response to that fanbase.... and the entire show suffered for it, just like Joker2 and TLoU2.

It really displays how some writers/producers have contempt for their audience.
"You're supposed to buy/view my content, but not supposed to like who I'm trying to villainize or dislike who I'm trying to make the heroes."

We told y'all the actress was miscast first season. Humans like looking at attractive people, it's hardwired into us. Having the lead character in a show be a potato is insane.

It's more that she looks absolutely nothing like Ellie. Which is kinda important when you're casting a beloved character from one of the most beloved games ever.

Was listening to Critical Drinker's podcast a few days ago and one of the guests has 16 years of BJJ experience.
They break down the 'Self-Defence' scene.

I dont think you really need to break down anything from that scene, its just hilarious to anyone who knows anything about bjj or mma
 
Cant wait to see how they raped it even more. Piratebay here we come.
 
I never played the games (because Xbox) so I was surprised to see how episode two played out.

Now I hear theyve confirmed season 3.... I'm guessing the second game is enough two break up into two seasons?

TLOU 2 took everything we loved about TLOU 1 and destroyed it. It's the same thing The Last Jedi did to Star Wars and Dark Fate did to Terminator.

Yes, more things to cover a flesh out.
 
I will say that scene was handled much better IMO in the show than the game. Kaitlyn Dever is a much better Abby than Abby was.
 
Some people were complaining about that monologue, but you gotta let an actor like Dever show out. She's probably the best actor going right now.

And doing a part like this right after her own mother's death.
 
A shame that Cailee Spaeny auditioned for the role of Ellie but didn't get it because she wasn't as famous.
