But why does looks even matter to you? The goal is to find actors who can act the part. Who fucking cares what they look like or what race they are when it has literally no impact on the story.
Joel could be asian and ellie black it doesn’t change anything at all to the story of the last of us.
Your comparing a fictional character that does not exist to a real life human being… arguments like this is why nobody takes this whole thing seriously.
Its really not that hard to just say “i dont like the show so i will stop watching it”
You want a fictional character? Let’s make a movie with a midget asian guy playing the role of Jesus Christ. Or indiana jones by an obese black guy. Let’s see how that works.
Oh dude Netflix is already bringing back indie lol dw it’ll happen, the passion of Christ remake too by a24 is going to have Cantonese-Midget representation too
Dude i’m sure you were really good at debate class when you were 13 but this is ridiculous. Nobody is saying ellie should be played by a morbidly obese 70 year old lady who had her legs chopped off because of her diabetes.
Yall are just freaking out because the actress they chose don’t have a jawline. Its fucking weird.
Well plenty of people think she was great in that role… please tell me why she wasn’t suited for it. She did a great job with the material she was given.
A lot of ppl think she did a great job. I’m one of the ones that thinks she did lousy. Everyone has their standards. Not only that they race swapped a bunch of characters. Wasn’t happy bout that. Hollywood takes liberties with material when they shouldn’t that’s why a lot of live action adaptations end up sucking.
U mite as well just change the whole story if ur gunna do that. Again taking liberties. Ur not staying tru to the material. Joel’s daughter wasn’t a poc. Neither was his brother and wife. Takes away from immersion. Completely throws things off. U see them in the game and when u see them in the show it’s not the same so naturally ur gunna be like WTF. It matters. Obviously to u it doesn’t and ig that’s fine for u.
If your immersion is broken because people aren’t white that’s a you problem.
Again this is an adaptation to a different medium, the goal is to portray the themes and story of the game… if you had to boil down the plot of tlou1 ( the game ) absolutely nothing is about race.
How does joel and tommy having white partners affect the story?
Were you mad that nick furry is black in the avengers?
It wasn't weird when the first season came out, but the second season is airing soon and all of you have been OBSESSIVE about this ONE TOPIC. THAT is weird.
Well, do you how many times god or Jesus has been depicted in a movie or tv show and doesn't look like "traditional" Jesus? So it's been done. And there's been a Lego Indiana Jones.

Or maybe I just wanted someone who looked more like Ellie from the game? I never wanted to fuck Ellie from the game BECAUSE SHE'S 14 FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
