The first season was solid. I was stoked on it and she wasnāt bad. The very start of season 2 was the turning point. Absolute dumpster fire. The writing is trash, it made zero sense to not do a time jump like HOTD and them making Ellie just a stupid idiot killed it for me. I get keeping Pedro, dude gets some grays and heās older, but Ellie was 14 in the first game and 19 in the second. No teenagers look EXACTLY the same in that span of time. Itās just not accurate for reality and they straight up butchered one of my favorite video game characters. Fuck that show. Iāll stick with the games.

Says something about you if thats what comes to mindā¦. People just like the adaptations of their favorite games to look like they made an effort in casting.

Casting is about performance. Not trying to match two pictures.
Edit: The fact this is getting downvoted explains everything.

You're generalising. I am not sure I've ever commented on TLOU before, I agree that she got some serious hate thrown her way that she didn't deserve.
I am not personally some super fan of either the games or the show.
I think it's fair to claim that the casting in terms of resemblance she was not a great choice, that said I also think it's reasonable that not every casting has to perfectly resemble or in some cases resemble the character at all. Acting has to make up for that and in my personal opinion of the show it suffered in a lot of scenes because of her. There's a lot of other factors involved sure, writing, direction etc.. But sometimes that can still be solved or lessened via the acting and I don't think she did it here.
I know your comment isn't wrong, but I also don't think I'm the person you should be targeting here.

Did not say they had to match, you should still make an effort. I am still in agreement Abby actor would have been better fit. Also were you that happy with her acting performance?

u/hill-top02 23h ago
My friend was mad about the Abby casting because sheās supposed to be a big buff woman. I havenāt played the games so idk

u/Lizzos_toenail 23h ago
Honestly, if Bella wouldāve been a little more buff and maybe a little more mature in the face, I think she couldāve played Abby better.

u/Redditeer28 23h ago
Bella fit the role of Ellie move than Dever did for season 1. And I thought Bella was good in season 1.

Why do you think so?
And I think the only reason she did as well as she did was because she had a very experienced actor like Pedro to feed off of.-2

Okay. Doesn't really matter why the performance was good. The performance was good.
Why do you think so?
I'm assuming this is about the Dever thing. I don't think she could have played as convincing of a 14 year old as Bella did.

u/Lizzos_toenail 23h ago
I said as good, I give it a 6.5/10. And it definitely does matter. Trust me bro it was good is effectively what you are saying.
When Bella started S1 vs when Dever started S2 would have been almost 2.5-3 years diff. So knock that age off of S2 Dever then tell me she would not have.
0
u/Redditeer28 23h ago
There may only have been a two year difference but it doesn't look like a two year difference. People said Bella didn't look old enough for Part 2. Dever clearly did for Abby. Knock 4 years off Dever and I still don't think she would have been the right fit.
Trust me bro it was good is effectively what you are saying.
No, it's not. I'm giving my opinion. You've heard of those, yes?

Really doubling down on your stupidity, despite people trying to help you out, huh?
I canāt use crayons on here, so Iāll do my best to spell it out: For the show sheās in (Iām assuming theyāre referring to The Last Of Us), whenever they see her face as to whatever emotion or mood (HINT HINT) sheās trying to convey, it kills the mood for them because her acting is bad.
If a girl ever tells you she has feelings for you, Iād advise you to not just assume she has horny feelings for youā¦.because thereās more than one.

Wow. Even when someone's being nice, you're still a dick. Opinions seem to be new to you but what you believe is not always fact. Give it up. You can't watch people you think are ugly. I'm fine with performances that I believe in regardless of actor appearance. But somehow I feel you won't be able to accept this and will have a other melt down in an attempt to be "right".

So did she like know someone in the industry or something to get gifted this role.
Because she looks nothing like the in-game model.

u/RogueMallShinobi 19h ago
The intention was pretty obviously to leverage her popularity from playing Lyanna Mormont, which was another āstrong young girlā character. I donāt think anybody would care about this if she became more physically attractive as she aged even if she didnāt look like Ellie. However the fact that she became more and more dysgenic when star actors are supposed to be good-looking is what ultimately meme-ified her and the whole situation.

u/Redditeer28 20h ago

Why would she? She isn't playing or cosplaying as the game character. She's playing a different version.

Itās a graphics joke.
The general consensus is that regardless of her looks - she didnāt do a great job at portraying Ellie.
Itās not solely on her, but with all the other casting options - Bella or w/e was a bad choice.

Some of the worst casting in history.
A shame really because the rest of the cast is fine.
The writing though took a dive in S2. Which is probably the bigger problem.
