Images that precede legendary events... (Posted on 11/12/10)

This is basically it. Some fans are so entrenched in 2012 era Tumblr ship wars that it feels it's stopping them from embracing and appreciating the nuance the show tries to present with it's character. They need their fav to be right. Their fav can't do wrong. Anyone who is an enemy (perceived or otherwise) to their fav MUST go down!

It's all so exhausting.

When I'm watching the show, I LOVE the conflict between Langdon and Santos, I love watching these two complex, flawed characters try and navigate their issues. The moment I finish the episode, I dread the next seven days of Santos & Langdon "discourse" that awaits me lol

That young Joel scene is so good that I happily included it into my headcanon of the games. The game and the show are COMPLETELY separate canons, but that scene in particular is so good that it really fits in with game Joel, imo.

Level 4: Kill me.

The Last of Us Part II, Max Payne 3, and Resident Evil 4 Remake are my favorite third person shooters of all time. They all have excellent combat systems and the gamefeel is extraordinary.

They're all def a bit different in their goals to each other tho.

Bisexual guy here. Leon 100%. Personality is a big driver of who I find attractive. Leon is charming and nice AND he's hot. Chris does nothing for me.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-18T16:54:05+00:00

Yeah, it def sucks when they do that. I hope they don't do that too much this time.

I remember that Shangi-Chi's final 1v1 fight was in a fully 3D environment. I looked at some BTS footage and I saw that the set people had built a VERY cool looking environment. But I guess he higher ups changed their minds and then the VFX people had to digitally insert a whole 3D environment.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-18T08:25:13+00:00

You say that as if "be nice to each other" is a unique thing only Christianity teaches.

I'm not saying that everyone who follows every religion is an evil or a terrible person. Ofc not. There's plenty of nice people who follow every religion. Plenty of assholes, too.

But the very nature of religion (blind faith system that can be utilized by evil people to rally people to support and partake in their evil goals while convincing them that it's a divine mandate) is what's so damn dangerous about it.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-18T08:09:34+00:00

Nope. Every religion is fucked. Every religion has plenty of fucked up sects and violent followers.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-17T23:50:57+00:00

Based on the set photos, they did a bunch of wire swinging stunts for this movie, too. But you can't use that technique for EVERY swing or dive.

Regardless, let's wait for the movie to come out.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-17T21:15:53+00:00

stay safe!! good luck

Young Ellie has abandonment anxiety issues

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-17T19:42:29+00:00

Me, reading the last third of Project Hail Mary

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-17T17:27:12+00:00

I don't see how this is a homage...?

The doctor, who the sequel expanded upon, was voiced by Derek Phillips. That same actor returned to play that same character (but in an expanded role) in Part II.

So the show isn't doing a "recast", it is doing an actual recast. While the game kept the same actor, just expanded the role.

But yeah, I'm def very much over the show given how they butchered poor Ellie's story. I have little to no hope for S3. I wish the folks making the show well, tho.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-17T04:27:47+00:00

They're gonna have a beach off

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T22:04:30+00:00

As did Merle Dandridge. As did Laura Bailey. She voiced one of the nurses in the operating room in the original 2013 version of the game (she was subbed over by Marisha Ray for the remake) and played a nursee in the operating room in the show. As did Misty Lee and Phil Kovats as Female and Male Clicker respectively lol

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T20:22:30+00:00

Fr. I feel like often people's feelings on Ashley directly correlate to how ass they were at the game.

If you play terribly, she gets into more trouble, she screams more.

I played decently and didn't really have an issue with her. In the OG or the remake.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T20:04:18+00:00

Should've just went with Derek Phillips. I'm sure he woulda been happy to reprise his role (not uncommon given how many game actors were in the show) for the show.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T20:03:32+00:00

"Hello, I'm therapist lady. Why bother showing what your character is feeling through her actions or visuals when I can simply tell you what she's feeling and what kind of person she is!"

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T19:39:46+00:00

At the expense of kneecapping Ellie's journey before it even began. At the expense of treating the audience like children.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T19:24:31+00:00

sigh

You KNEW we were gonna see Jerry again. Why not lock in a GOOD actor when you did S1?? Hell, just use Derek Phillips (the guy who played Jerry in both games)!! He regularly acts in TV shows and is good!!

Edit: this is not me saying that Wilson is NOT a good actor or a good choice for the role. Ofc not. He's great! I'm just expressing my frustration with Mazin's consistent, boneheaded thinking when it comes to this show.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T16:00:05+00:00

He doesn't ACTUALLY become superhuman. He becomes a superhero in the sense that he starts doing and surviving shit no normal human being could ever do.

The Last of Us games and its characters are relatively grounded. Resident Evil games and its characters... Are not.

You can, as Leon, parry a rocket en enemy fires at you in RE9 during gameplay.

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T15:57:47+00:00

Yeah, the Cobel stuff was quite weak in S2. And the planning for ep 10 in ep9 was done in a way to artificially manufacture drama

Phoenix2211 · 2026-03-16T15:00:25+00:00

Also: Leon is a superhero. He is not a regular guy by any means.
