On the contrary, I try to make a point of replying to posts that are actually talking about the show. That's what I come here looking for. There just isn't much of it between the "bad writing" posts and the woke police.

How many people here even watch the show anymore? It keeps popping to the top of my feed so I shit post once in a while but I haven't watch any episodes since s1. I tried like 3 times but episode 1 just puts me to sleep after I stop laughing at the "mma" match.

Have you ever considered, and stay with me here, that there is a fuck ton of bad writing out there?

Have you considered everyone knows what Bella Ramsay looks like and we don't need 10 pictures of her forehead on every page? What does that have to do with the writing?

I think its doing fairly well viewership wise, its just impossible to talk about here.

Like I am not thrilled with some of the changes between this and the game, but some of the changes have been quite good. I do think this most recent episode needed to change, its fine in isolation but when a season is 7 episodes they need more going on. Ellie and Dina should be chasing Tommy to Seattle with Jesse chasing them. Ellie turns into a monster and it costs Dina which costs Ellie and the cycle of violence goes on and on, its an OKAY story. But with just them there IDK where they will go and maybe thats better.

I guess it just depends how long they want to do this for. If they changed nothing this could have been done with 1 more season. But if they want like 4 or 5 seasons they will have to move beyond Abbey, its not a complicated arc between them.

This is also true. And they are all photoshopped in some way or another lol.

Yes, but that isn't even their main problem with her. The show, not the game, needs her to be a sympathetic character that people connect with in order for them to want to watch her more. We know they understand this because they changed the unlikeable, ugly Abby from the game into a more likeable and cute version for the show. Bell Ramsay must have been chosen as someone that could connect people in spite of her looks because, well, you already pointed it out. Instead, the writers have made her a totally unlikeable and unrelatable character from the very first episode and now have killed the likeable, relatable character last episode. That means they intended for her to carry the show but put her at a disadvantage from the start. So the writers have driven themselves into a corner by being fucking terrible and you are going to tell us that we are focusing on the wrong things. They are all symptoms of why most of these shows fucking suck ass now and it is sad to see you defending it.

The minute you realize Druckman wanted Abby to be the hero the entire time you will understand all his shitty writing choices in both the game and the second season of the show.

I now have 6 total posts in this thread brother, I am not defending shit. I just pointed out the training in episode 1 wasn't a real fight when Bella got her nose smashed. Fucking stupid thing to complain about when there are real points to critique but it's not worth discussing most of the time because hurr hurr here's another photoshop of elephant man.

Bro, you are doing the exact thing I pointed out this morning; you are focusing on the few trolls (that do the same thing EVERYWHERE) and then using their dipshit responses to deflect away from valid criticism. Then, when someone points out something that is tangentially related to a troll topic you dismiss it as further trolling.
Bella Ramsay's worst quality is not her looks; it is that she doesn't have the acting chops to turn the material into something worth watching OR she doesn't care enough to do it. What that means is that the showrunners cast her knowing that her look, bearing, and attitude didn't fit the character; so it was intentional. She doesn't even have any other acting credits that show her capable of carrying the load required of this story. Contrast that with the actress they hired for Abby. I don't even remember her name, but she was fucking stellar in Justified; she showed the exact type of performance that they should have been looking for out of Ellie and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear that she read for the role and got passed over. In what world is Bella Ramsay your best option if you're looking to make the very best show?

Lenas · 2025-05-02T16:59:27-0400

I don't think she should have been cast, I just don't think she's worth talking about at this point. Not like she's going to be re-cast. In no way have I defended her.

Bella was great in GoT, but I do agree she's entirely unlikeable in the show. It does actually make you sympathize with Abby more, and maybe that's the intent.

I wouldn't say great. She had a couple dramatic but funny scenes because they made it look like a 10yo girl upstaged a bunch of viking warriors.

Her killing the giant was just retard level arya stark level grrrl power fantasy.
