VIP6Jeez, the snowflaky reactions of straight white men because not every single episode and narrative centres them - anything deviating from that priority is apparently "woke". Get over yourselves, you egomaniacal bigots.
Anyway, another great episode that nicely expanded Ellie's backstory - bonus points for the Mortal Kombat II appreciation, too :nerd:

@dw11 Don't bother. You're trying to have a conversation and typical left, only want to bash and shout, screaming how out of touch every white male is, and how we should all apologise for the next millennium of crimes that we're bound to commit..
I skipped the love story I and 95% of people can't relate to. So far this show is pretty mid. Hope it gets better.

@dw11 Shame to hear that you think nobody can relate to love. It's not gay to have emotions man.

@2ls1t As someone who is completely fine with this show (and knowing it in advance too since I've known the game for 10 years), and being white, what does race have to do with this shit? You're no better than them and adding to the polarization.

@2ls1t I'm black and it's just becoming irritating and predictable what they are doing on nearly every show.

@2ls1t Sure, but not everything has to center around being gay either. I've said it before, but it would've been better if Riley was the straight one. Ellie already forms a lesbian relationship later on, so instead of making every female companion she gets close to become some unrealistic romantic option, how about it portrays the fact that not every woman is homosexual? Would've been a nice direction to say, have Ellie make a move on her, get turned down because Riley doesn't swing that way, and then move on. It'd do well in showing us that yes Ellie is into other girls as a sort of foreshadow or character build for the future, while also not making it seem like some sort of gay wet fantasy.
The overexposure is very prevalent, we already had the whole Bill episode. Yeah, it's "woke."
TLOU2 is still one of my favorite games despite this, but still maybe accept the clear pandering intentions of the writers and producers here instead of denying it.
Getting bored. Been far too many deep moments already, and not enough action. Last thing the show needed was a filler episode.
I guess Neil was out of the office the day this one was written.

@badcontestant Bull. What made the game so great were the outbursts of extreme violence and seeing how far Joel would go to protect the values and morals of a world long since passed for him, interspersed with touching moments between himself and Ellie when that same world showed them just how beautiful it still had the capacity to be.
So far, the show has shown none of those touching moments between the two main characters, and has instead given us rushed and forced "reach for the tissues" tear jerkers of true small screen style. And the only moment of desperate violence it has given us was the fight in the museum, which also led to one of those aforementioned tear jerkers.
So far, the show has none of the subtle genius the game gave us.
I love the snowflakes saying they are no longer going to watch this show anymore after this timely and important episode. Dude, if this episode offended your backwards ass so much, nope out, fine with the rest of us, we, and Seth MacFarlane, don't want you here anyway.

@zoloft I don't understand the upset people. The baby was born female. The parents altered her without her consent. She got altered back. This should support the conservative "you can't change your gender argument"
