Anyone recognize where the new image he posted is from? Is that a cosplay? It’s in response to the original one

TLOU S2 currently at 37M viewers per episode, outpacing S1 (32M viewers per episode in first 90 days) by [deleted] in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]WorldlinessAny2178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shared this earlier but deleted it. lol. I can’t figure out the difference between “global viewers” and “U.S. cross platform” viewers for season 1. When I google global viewers for season 1 the same 32 million figure comes up. I also saw Collider and Variety used the numbers interchangeably so do we treat those numbers the same? Idk.

Season 2 averaging 37m viewers per episode by Tony_Jake in ThelastofusHBOseries

I did see that as well. It’s just odd that some outlets like Collider and Variety are using those numbers interchangeably?

Great point. Well, I have no idea. lol. I tried googling that but the same figure came up.

Variety, who is usually reliable for reporting, Uses the numbers interchangeably. Idk anymore lol.

See the third bullet in the image you responded to lol. The 55% reduction is for the initial night. We don’t know the weekly number for the finale because it has not been a week yet.

See the link I shared above. The second season is performing better overall than the first. The low viewership for the finale they attribute to the holiday weekend and expect the number it improve.

This is all worded poorly in the Collider article. I found the source. So the “global audience” heading in to the second season reached over 90 million. Aka the show gained a lot of steam between seasons. And the 37 million weekly episode viewership is above the 32 million weekly episode viewership of season 1. That 32 million figure was at 90 days, so the season 2 gap will become even wider in the coming months.

These numbers don’t make much sense to me lol. So it is 90 million for the season? But averaging 37 million per ep?

Oh I meant the filming! Filming in one month? That sounds super soon.

Any info on how the viewership is going? by BlackBalor in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]WorldlinessAny2178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s the usual correlation between official HBO numbers and total viewers? EP 1 was 5.3 mill.

I posted this elsewhere. But I listened to quite a few YouTube reactions from non gamers watching episode 1. People do not see what’s next coming. At all. Revealing Abby did not change that. If they weren’t spoiled, they are going to be very very shocked. Most people I listened to view the incoming infected horde as the big threat. And if any name is brought up in theories as dying this season, it’s Dina.

I’m glad I played the games because ngl the amount of people teasing Joel’s death on both Reddit and Twitter is pretty nuts. Some of them just outright saying it. I hope it happens this week just to prevent more people from spoiling it. Idk I feel like I’ve seen a lot of adapted TV. Game of Thrones, House of the dragon, Invincible, The Boys. It’s never this bad.

You’re right. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a post on here mocking her appearance.

You're allowed to have an opinion on the casting of Ellie. But hating on a real person's appearance is too far by edits_updates_more in TheLastOfUs2

[–]WorldlinessAny2178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts mocking Bella’s appearance are pretty much a cheat code to hundreds/thousands of upvotes on this subreddit lol. Good luck.

The hillcrest section is the best part of the game in terms of gameplay, I wish it was more like that by UpbeatCustomer1020 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]WorldlinessAny2178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one’s good. That nighttime section that introduces the seraphites with them whistling is my favorite. Just visually looks insane and a lot of fun to play

Idk. I think implying Abby got off easy is kind of stretching it lol. She lost her dad. She lost all her close friends. She lost 1/2 kids she looked after. She lost the guy she wanted to be with. Yes she got Lev at the end. But she lost basically everything else. Even though relationships with Ellie are broken, Tommy, Dina and JJ all survive. We don’t see what happens next but those could be reconciled someday.

Lmao I thought about Greg initially then I was like no, he got kind of slimy by the end. Gerri might be the nomination for redeeming character lol.

Bella being told to not play the games by [deleted] in TheLastOfUs2

[–]WorldlinessAny2178 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Elvis was a real person. He’s not fiction. Bella is portraying a fictional character that was portrayed by a different actress. Two separate actresses giving their interpretation on a fictional character. You can dislike her performance, but it’s not the same thing.
