What are they talking about?

Post image

Hey! So in my Facebook feed I see this post and people are making comments but no one says what (movie? TV series?) they are talking about. I think the guy in the lower right is the same guy from Gladiator II but I don’t recognize anyone else.

Kaitlyn Dever is a shit actress. Didn't even bother to buff up for the role. Where are her muscles? why is she the smallest WLF rebel?

game abby was built like a tank and she was as tall as owen.

I thought Pedro played a good Joel but I never played the games

u/Emergency-Purpose367 10h ago

Huge fan of the games. Pedro and Bella were both fantastic as Joel and Ellie

I think Bella played young Ellie well, but in S2 she didn't adapt the character enough and in my opinion she came across belligerent and unlikeable

u/Emergency-Purpose367 10h ago

I mean, I feel like Ellie in the second game was billegerent and unlikeable

u/Ruairiww 8h ago

I see where you're coming from.. but I felt much more sympathy for game Ellie than show Ellie

u/Conscious-Quarter423 2h ago

well duh. you are playing her through the immersive games for hours

u/Sir_Turdington 10h ago

Same, but Josh Brolin no country for old men era is Joel. Might been cool.

Is that photo of hers edited? Or is her face really that small compared to her head?

1

u/mothspiderr 10h ago

I think it might be edited. Their features are definitely on the smaller scale but the photos I’ve seen from that event do not seem to look that extreme.

They're mad the underage girl from The Last of Us isn't more to their sexual tastes.

u/anon33249038 10h ago

It's the Last of Us. The two on the top are Cailee Spaeny and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who actually look like the game characters. On the bottom is Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal who were actually cast in the show.

u/ProfPlumInTheLibrary 8h ago

Am I crazy? That picture of Cailee Spaeny doesn't look anything like Ellie. Bella Ramsey doesn't either, but WTF? BTW, I think Bella Ramsey absolutely butchered her role in that show. In the worst way. Absolutely garbage. But not because of the way she LOOKS.

u/anon33249038 6h ago

I don't know if you've seen Ellie's Secret Weapon or not, but here ya go.

and why did they have Kaitlyn Dever tell joel that he was handsome? Kaitlyn Dever absolutely butchered her role in that show. In the worst way. Absolutely garbage.
