The noise at 1.12. If you've played TLOU2 you know what I mean. .

Recently replayed that game.

Cheeky use of Pearl jam for the trailer too @Niamh.

[Benjamin]

I feel for the actress (Kaitlyn Dever) playing Abby

Spoiler:

I can imagine she’s going to get A LOT of hate. Not going to say why, even in a spoiler.

…yeah I was thinking that too, it’s a lovely nod to Pearl Jam and will introduce them to wider audiences…

Spoiler:

i know what you mean, but for all we know they are doing things differently compared to the game again? i mean Bill wasn't killed off in the video game, unlike here in the series, we also got our first bloater scene at the snipers nest level (which wasn't the case in the game, which was just you vs hunters)

i am curious for Miss Cascina Caradonna's reaction to Isabela Merced portraying her

Spoiler:

Yeah, spent years playing Pearl Jam around my kids and my son suddenly likes them and learns Future Days after playing the game

I replayed both (well, played the remaster of the original and replayed 2) with my wife during the first season of the show. We actually did an "episode to episode" thing with TLOU1 where we watched each episode week to week, then played the game up to the point where that episode ended, which was fun for scene to scene comparison.

I guess Joel is canonically a Pearl Jam fan, if he's used them to teach Ellie to play guitar.

Spoiler:

Oh gawd that ending scene of TLOU2 with the guitar at the farm

[Quantum Boy]

My only real issue after seeing the trailer is, although I know she actually is in her early 20's, I feel like she still looks too young as TLOU2 Ellie, knowing what the events of the season are going to be. TLOU2 Ellie and kid-Ellie from season 1 are very, very different characters with the very different roles.

For Abbie on the other hand, while I would say game-Abbie is a touch TOO hench, I wonder about TV Abbie not being hench enough? There's a parallel supposed to be drawn between the characters in that they can very much take care of themselves; Ellie because she's been raised by Joel and has a tonne of skills/smarts and Abbie because, frankly, the girl is an absolute tank - there are parts of the game where you can straight up have her kill Clickers with her bare hands .

Looking at the two of them in the trailer I'm not sure you get that contrast of Ellie being quick/smart/"tricky" and Abbie being hard as nails.

Excellent games. Was a bit weary at first watching S1, but nah, it was brilliant

…I’m not familiar with Abbie, her character in TLOU but I’ve read that the actress, Kaitlyn Dever has been pretty intense in her training for the role to resemble Abbie physically…the main thing that I’ve seen her in was Unbelievable which was based on a true story and she was so excellent in that and as well as being a strong character, she has a vulnerability about her as well…I don’t know if any vulnerability in character applies to Abbie…

Abby in-game is muscled to the point of it not frankly being possible without her being on steroids - but that said, minor spoiler...

Spoiler:

Her community lives in a sports stadium so maybe she found a stash of performance enhancing drugs at some point

I low-key love Abby even over Ellie though, great character, the "backlash" against her (that extended to the voice actress playing her) in the game was horrendous, and people are genuinely concerned it'll happen all over again with the show.

…a lot of opinions seem to be that Kaitlyn will be great and very believable in the role and that the character doesn’t have to be that ‘tank’ type physically…I hope that she doesn’t get hate for it…I know that she lost her mom quite recently and has been devastated by that and this might be the first big role she’s had since then…

Spoiler:

Yeah, I loved Abby too. I loved both their stories.

Kaitlyn Dever has already hired extra security in preparation for the release. People are twats, they need to get a grip on reality, it’s a bloody character.

Spoiler:

and one in Abby's allies is pregnant, right

but honestly i don't know how much of the game will be in the tv adaptation, considering

Spoiler:

Bill got killed off here in the tv series, although in the game he is still alive as far as we know, with the entire town he lives in boobytrapped

but tbh for

Spoiler:

the ''one thing'' to happen, and i'll also not say it even in a spoiler, since it is something major to the plot, but due to it being major to the plot, doesn't that kinda mean it does need to happen or maybe someone else

[Nicky91]

this is also fun to share

Youtube video

the likeness from video game Dina to tv series Dina is absolutely perfect honestly



Cascina is Dina's face model (not her voice actor) btw, she also played the game

Spoiler:

…I don’t know what huge significant part of the storyline is being referred to because I don’t know the game storyline…(…but I can completely guess just by the few bits that have been posted in here, I honestly wish they hadn’t…but that’s by the by…what I wanted to say is that I’ve read that the storyline of the game will be split into two parts so the second part then being season 3 effectively…so that would mean (..possibly, if what I’ve read was correct…)..all characters would be present throughout the second season…this is also why these sort of spoilers are something that I wish didn’t happen…

Release confirmed for April (no date yet)
