Voice actors get roles so long as their voice holds out. Ellen McClain (voice of Glados/combine female voice alert/administrator in TF2) is almost 70. Jim French, guy who voiced Bill in L4D and other dota heroes, was 89 when he died and had only retired a few years earlier if memory serves.

I think you're getting body building women confused with "buff". I don't see, in this universe with that setup they had at the stadium, full gym setup with people training which her physique is totally and absolutely possible. Folk just mad playing a buff woman because it makes them look like a fat pile of shit which most people on here are.

You're a perfect example of someone so far into ivory tower the west has created that you're not even sure what the natural world looks like anymore. Sure though, someone hitting the gym as an occupation to maintain muscle mass is something that would totally happen when all industrial production in society breaks down. I'm sure finding food, and even basic sanitary needs wouldn't occupy a huge chunk of people's productive lives.

In TLOU1 Joel tells Ellie how much he misses coffee. He hadn't had coffee in over a decade. They didn't bother covering food but it was quite obvious everyone was starving and eating whatever they could get their hands on.
TLOU2 ignores this entirely and has burritos and steak sandwiches. When, in such a situation, beefsteak and meat would be reserved for the elite just like it always was before modern society. Or for extremely special occasions. The average person in the mushroom apocalypse would be eating potatoes and root vegetables 99% of the time. Augmented by some fish or birds when they could catch them. Straight up scavenger society with no logistics or infrastructure. Simply because the power of the potato is how much caloric density you create with it. Potatoes created more calories, cheaper and in less space than any other vegetable and could grow in almost any situation. Why else do people think it took Europe by storm compared to all previous agriculture?

In a society where you have to fight to survive, be on constant vigilance for mushroom zombies and other human tribes, where would you find time for this? The method of bodybuilding are well known. You require lots of food, lots of sleep, and minimal cardio exertion and deprivation. 60 days of Army ranger school today and a bodybuilder loses literal years of work because of deprivation and exhaustion.
So when you're constantly deprived and forced to walk everywhere its very hard to maintain excess muscle mass. People would default to being thin and wiry before they were massive.

The seraphim/scav society was also bizarre to me, it looked literally like around 10,000 people chilling out in wooden huts on an isthmus. How the fuck would you feed that many people? It seems wildly unlikely that they wouldn't constantly be invaded by zombie hordes, one person gets bit and goes underground to hide and spores up creating a never ending cycle of near extermination.
Thats one thing I liked about TLOU1, it showed extremely tiny pockets of survivors that were one mistake away from vanishing, and even Tommy's little camp was more a dream than reality. Even the starting "city" was run like North Korea and ruthless in putting down any possible sign of disease. In TLOU2 you have at least four absolutely massive settlements, and only one - Santa Barbara - is run like what you'd think a post apocalypse society runs like.
yeah, yeah I know the reason why is because Cuckman wanted to tell a story about revenge and didn't really give a shit about building a world that felt "right" but its a bummer not a single writer tried to make it work. I didn't watch TWD past season one but it sounds like that show at least tried to preserve that sense of "nothing lasts long in this world".
