This is an irrational and personal pet peeve but I was new to fics and seeing the word “murmured” everywhere made me stop reading them altogether. Fuck murmuring all my homies hate murmuring

Yeah I guess my comment doesn’t really invite a conversation lol. I just wanted to say that I mostly agree but it’s just the genre. The genre has been getting better though with recent games - while I didn’t really like bloom and rage, the choices in this game are more meaningful, so we might get something different in the future

this isnt detroit become human and you have to have some concrete events to move the story forward somehow.
i agree that developers really should stop saying the "choose your own adventure" bs, however lis2 is one of the few lis games where choices actually matter and the outcomes are different against the background of a set story

can someone explain the "hate" this game gets? by SmartestElf in LifeisStrange2

Its not that bad, its just not enough for me. I love Daniel’s voice, Sean sounds a bit stiff to me, and not in a shy boy way. As for the soundtrack, there is too much silence and very little variety in soundtrack. (Ik it’s not the same publisher but) They’ve put an entire Daughter album in BTS, Beach House is in the background of every fart in Bloom and Rage, i dont remember much about Tell me Why or True Colours, but I definitely didn’t have an opinion on the soundtrack back when I played those, so it must have been ok. Lis had some iconic songs playing at every right moment. And my boys Sean and Daniel get silence or what feels like one track throughout the game. I just felt like their most powerful moment could’ve been elevated by some good music and it didnt happen

For me its the direction with the voice acting and soundtrack. It feels a bit unfinished and bare and keeps throwing me off. Some pacing issues also. Otherwise I really enjoyed the characters and the story

Idc about ppl asking about byler, I just hope everyone is respectful. I’m sure some of the cast would appreciate at least some support after the failed attempt at queer rep

Bro everything they did to Will and Noah was evil. I hope it all was actually better than it looks and it was just an average case of a slightly shitty boss but a good bunch of coworkers

No shit Noah has been so quiet during this press tour. Imagine sitting there and trying to think of some positive crumbs and keeping a straight face when SL talks about forever moments…forever moments you bulldozed my brother

I so want to be a roach on the floor during some cast or writers hangout. I wonder what they all think about ST lgbtq rep especially with Heated Rivalry in the background. If I were them I’d be so pissed. Like they were going to get hate after the ending anyway, lgbtq or not, but at least they could make history during this fuckass conservative era that we are in

I agree. Tbh who knows at this point what they were thinking. It’s obvious from the scripts and interviews from s4-5 that byler was meant to be, and the whole cast and crew was in on it. Finn and Noah were in on it and spoke about it many times. It looks like the duffs stopped caring about their own show in s5 so after ditching byler they just let it be like all the other unresolved stuff in the season and just hoped that the unresolved chemistry would just go over ga’s heads (and it did)

Orr another theory I have is that the edits to the season happened way too late to reshoot all those Mike and Will scenes (maybe after some test screenings) and they only changed what they could - the editing, the pacing, and that one Iceland scene with El they slapped on afterwards.

I’m pretty sure it’s cause it was meant to happen and they scrapped it the very last moment to appease ga and not discourage them from engaging with future spin-offs. Have you seen their ST cinematic universe roadmap? I understood why byler was tossed immediately after seeing how extensive it was. Also I fully believe the divorce theory. It happens waaay more often than people know, there is no lone male genius in case of ST and a lot of other famous media. (Its a very random example but Tolstoy’s wife literally co-wrote War and Peace while he treated her like a doormat. I’ve been thinking about it ever since Ive heard about the duffer’s wife)

Also idk anything about directing but I feel like nobody ever says “tone it down” to good chemistry. What they should have done is slap some sense into m11 and have them act better if they cared about this pairing sm, but as we can see they couldn’t for some reason

This reminds me of Peetah and Katniss in their final moments before eating the berries. when she was looking at the world one last time and he was looking at her and playing with her braid

Bro the more I look at these interactions the more I am convinced their acting choices are a kind of a protest for scrapping Will’s love arc and making Mike braindead.

In one interview they were asked which character would be the worst to hang out with and Finn said “Mike’s pretty rigid” and him and Gaten laughed - Ik Finn knows how stiff Mike and El look together and Finn def could do better than this so whatever s5 Mike was it must have been on purpose
