My partner didn't believe me about the Last of Us Part 2 but then immediately did a 180.

Partner and I have been watching The Last of Us because we stan Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

I was telling my partner not to expect a good character story for The Last of Us Season 2 since the show has been faithfully relaying the plot of the games especially in it's scene composition.

I'm incredibly curious as to how TLOU Season 2 walks this tight rope with the source material, political climate, and especially since Bella Ramsey has been so outspoken about the genocide.

Grimly realistic stuff. Gonna be interesting how they thread this needle.

Why does the actor who is playing a character that canonically has PTSD from watching her father be tortured and killed in a brutal way look haunted / sad / upset all the time? I feel like the actor doesn't have the skill to play this character with such a shallow emotional portrayal. That thread very obviously gets misogynistic and ablist very fast.
