I love Dina so much, and so excited to see her the rest of the season!!But I’m not sure how I felt about how current-trend coded she was. (For lack of a better term) Just for the fact that it’s supposed to be a future apocalyptic world, they’re not going to have the same lingo and stuff as what’s popular rn. Idk, how do you guys feel abt it?
I guess some ppl don’t realize that makeup/costume is a part of acting and a major part of portraying a role. Yeah Bella looked young in S1, she was supposed too. And Ellie in the game looks young too because she is (19 in the 2nd game) and she still looks young then underneath the blood, and dirt caked on her face and clothes, which will be part of the costuming. You ‘can’t imagine Bella being menacing’? Did you not see episode 8 in S1? That there is proof she can act menacing, Bella’s a great actor no doubt about that. If you don’t like the casting so much then don’t watch it.
Plus you mentioned Abby being a ‘hulkette’ but I don’t see you complaining about Kaitlyn Dever not looking strong enough or having enough muscle compared to Abby in the game. I wonder why.
It’s telling how these kinds of people take every criticism to mean, “you just want your fuck the actor!” They completely ignore 90% of people are complaining about the casting because Bella looks like a 9 year old and they’re 5’1”…
Bella worked in the first season because, while not looking like Ellie from the game, they pulled off the “I’m a kid” phenotype and captured the spirit of Ellie. Bella can act.
The problem isn’t even Bella’s height since canon Ellie is 5’3”. The problem is that Bella, for me, can’t pull off the menacing tone because of how they look.
If Bella played some 15th century queen with the pale white face and recessed hairline, they’d be amazing for the role. Maybe some Victorian woman. They have that phenotype; like a painting. And they pulled it off when they ware meant to be 14 in s1 despite looking younger. But Bella doesn’t look 19. Bella looks 9. I can’t see them holding their own against the hulkette that is Abby.
And working class bootlickers worship them for it.

Oh no, I haven’t watched the ep yet, they better not ruin our precious Ellie
Still not a fan of the whole “Violent heart” narrative they’re pushing with Ellie.
It started after David (source: The Last Of Us official podcast) and now it seems they’re continuing it (the opening wrestling scene where Ellie wouldn’t stop)
I’m the 1st episode just came out but I’m already thinking abt the fact that we only have 6 more 😭😭😭 and then we have to WAIT AGAIN.
The pain of watching Joel hold onto hope and really trying to believe that Ellie is just being a teenager and will come around hurts so much knowing what we know
supernatural will never die. this used to be a threat. now it’s become a comfort. supernatural will never die !!!!!!
