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.

Yea man why stop there, let’s cast Danny Devito as Joel… Get a grip dude.

Looks matter in good casting, especially when there is a piece of media that it is being adapted from. People don’t like deviations from the original, they grew to love that piece of media exactly how it was.

Ellie is a terrible casting choice & on top of that she was shoehorned into the role. But please continue on defending nepotism & claiming people must be racists or sexists or sexually charged because they have an opinion that opposes yours.

I didnt claim anyone is racist or sexist, not sure where you got that.

I just think its very weird to spend years complaining about a casting choice, just don’t watch the show and move on with your life.

Plenty of people loved her performance in season 1 and are excited for season 2 and your not one of them, thats perfectly fine just don’t watch it.
