The Last of Us Season 2 Trailer Just Did Something AMAZING...

[@tahnadana5435]

youre so pathetic, i got second hand embarrassment from reading your channel's name alone, its just a f'n trailer for just a f'n show, and its not even a original idea of a show... read more books, watch more movies, and hear more songs, your vibe is pure cringe

Pinning this comment for now just so people can get a load of your bullshit. If you RESPECTFULLY want to disagree with me and give me reasons for why you think it was not that good, then fucking communicate them but don't come in here and act like you think can insult my intelligence when I know what I feel and am not afraid to speak my mind on it.

[@dave9131975]

@@tahnadana5435 You clearly are not familiar with TLOU as a game or a show so I don’t think you have any right to cast dispersion on anybody for that. As he made mention if you want to RESPECTFULLY disagree that’s fine. By the way it’s more than “a f’n trailer” to MILLIONS of other people.. so if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it all.

@@filmobsessednerd Bro acting like pinning a comment is going to make him regret his actions. 1. no offense but you have 2k subs, I doubt anyone is going to really see this in the grand scheme of things. 2. He can just delete the comment. 3. While crass, he's kinda right (about the read/watch/play more things). The fact that people think this is the epitome of emotional drama just proves how marvel/Disney brain rot has ruined modern cinema/film/tv. People are so starved for high stakes emotional drama these days that they make videos as if this kind of content wasn't common place in the 90's/00's, and done with far more conviction, better storytelling and acting. I do hope that with shows like this and Penguin that more gritty, emotional, edgy content makes a return, and we can start moving away from the horrible age of superheores and generic action films, but honestly, TLoU2 is far from high art, lol.

[@lovelessmik5127]

what fascinates me the most is that some of the scenery looks EXACTLY like in the game. for example, the first shot of jackson? spot on. the shot of ellie playing guitar for dina? spot on. abby dragging herself under that fence while the infected try to get her? SPOT ON like WHAT

Easily the best trailer for a tv show in ages, it will be a very emotional season

[@filmobsessednerd]

For a TV show is a good way to put it. I'd have to look back at past TV show trailers and see which ones compared in quality to this one.

[@ArthurBaum]

FYI: Season 1 was shot on an Arri Alexa Mini with Cooke S4/i prime lenses. So, my guess is that the DP would use the same setup in order to create a consistent look. Also want to point out that it's not the camera which makes an image beautiful but the meticulous and interwoven work of so many departments and creative decisions. Please don't fall into the narrative of "your camera makes pretty pictures".

[@filmobsessednerd]

I appreciate you giving me the details of the camera! Also, apologies I know my statement about the camera in the video might have came off that way but I know it's not all about the camera. The camera is only one tool in the shed of filmmaking aspects that creates a beautiful looking movie or show.

[@dave9131975]

So last year I had Timothy B Good (the Emmy award winning editor) on my channel last year and will hopefully have him on this season. By the way the camera they shot it with was an Arri Alexa Mini 1:78:1 Aspect Ratio (Source: IMDB)

@@filmobsessednerdthat side of the community thankfully got snuffed out but, it got a ton of hate for many reasons including the actress choice for Joel’s daughter, Bills storyline being changed, “gayness being shoved down throats”, Maria’s actress choice. Over all a bunch of hate even though I actually really enjoyed how it all turned out. They were able to retell LOU story PERFECTLY without really changing anything! Tbh in my opinion the best game to movie adaptation to exist currently. People also forget Neil Drunkman was literally ON SET to make sure everything went smooth and did the game justice.

[@filmobsessednerd]

@@lunarnightterror7599 yeah those people can go to hell I’m so sick and tired of that bullshit

[@lunarnightterror7599]

I wish they did a “older” looking actress for Ellie. I mean I get trying to keep the faces the same but she literally doesn’t look ANY older. She’s supposed to go from a 14-15 year old to a 19-20 year old. That would probably be my only complaint BUT that doesn’t take away from how HAPPY I am to see how well this was made. LOU is my absolute favorite game (I have hundreds of hours played 0 shame) so when a show was being made I was scared but I was really happy with the first season and I’m really looking forward to the second!

[@filmobsessednerd]

If I may offer a counterpoint to the idea of them recasting the character for her age, we do have to remember that they are doing a third season adapting the second game, right? So that being said, I don’t know if we know the full landscape of the events and timeline of when the second season is taking place in. To be clear I’m not saying that from somebody who thinks he knows the second game I’m just saying that as a way to be fair to the idea that we are getting another season after this that will adapt the second game and give time for Bella to age in real life again before they start filming it.

[@lunarnightterror7599]

@@filmobsessednerd I didn’t realize they were stretching it out so far! I was honestly hoping they would do at least a few episodes of Jackson life with Ellie and Joel instead of solely relying on flash backs like in the game. At this point I couldn’t really think of a older looking actress that could do the same justice as Bella but, I just hope it’s as good as the first season and does justice to the second game and the message it presents. I wanna see Ellie’s dark era. I also hope they present a redemption arc for her but, idk if they’d wanna do that first or a third game!

Its not the height for me personally Bella Played ellie perfectly But the only similarity between her and game ellie is the hair colour other than that she doesnt look Like in the games. And for the main characters (Joel and ellie) its 1 important that they act like the character But 2 they need to look like them too which Bella does not one bit. If i had the chance to get a 10/10 acting but 2/10 visual similarity Or a 8/10 acting but a 8/10 visual similarity i choose the 2 Option if it is about the main characters Joel is perfect casting btw Bella isnt

Play the games. The first season is better told in the games. So many moments from the 1st game was watered down in the show which made me not enjoy the 1st season as much as most people. The fact that it was on HBO and they could've gotten away with pretty much anything and still chose to tone it down made me sad.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Lol idk about you but it felt like they did some stuff in S1 that was pretty dark. I am sure that some stuff is a bit darker in the game but to me S1 told the story affectively enough that I never bat an eye at it.

The trailer is good, they did it on purpose, is all scenes from the game transposed in live action.

Just play the game! She did good but far from kill it!

[@lunarnightterror7599]

If you think the story is that bad then you clearly don’t understand the meaning behind last of us. It’s supposed to bring the player the feelings of hopelessness and hope, fear and peace. It’s supposed to show humanity but also how quickly people can lose theirs. How a hero in one persons story can be a villian in someone else’s. How every action has a consequence. A butterfly effect. How selfish a human can truly be. How selfless a human can be. Don’t get me wrong when I first played I was angry and I merked Abby a bunch of times. And I almost just quit playing all together. But when looking at both games as a whole and the story it was trying to tell. The lessons it was showing. It’s truly a gut wrenching experience.

Season 1 was so boring and disappointing, I have zero interest in another season. The moment in the 2nd game that outraged people won’t have any resonance in this season because they didn’t make me care about them in season 1, unlike the game which was masterful in building their relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if the big moment is right near the end and they fill out the season with parts of the DLC flashback of the girls in the mall. Then 3rd season is Ellie in full revenge mode.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Hey agree to disagree on that, S1 wasn't a knockout for everyone

[@misterjiggles5041]

Sorry man, there's nothing wrong with having opinions on Bella. Now, I totally agree with you in that stupid details such as eye color are trivial and have virtually no impact on the role. However, other details DO matter. Physicality MATTERS. For instance, watch the image of Ellie walking out into Jackson in the fur-lined coat. She looks like a freaking TODDLER. Her gate, the speed she walks, and her childlike head barely popping up to see. Again, she looks like a child. That matters. I know you haven't played the game, but aside from the flashbacks, there's NOTHING childlike in the game. It's adult themed content with visceral violence that requires a certain level of physical stature and maturity, both in the delivery of fight scenes and others that are more intimate. They screwed up, and if you disagree, that's fine, but this game needed a more established, mature, and slightly feminine actress. Yes, Ellie's gay, that doesn't mean she can't be feminine in her own way.

[@filmobsessednerd]

Bruh... really? Wtf does her femininity have anything to do with this? Is that really a criticism now that we're throwing at people? You had me at disagreeing about your other stuff that you said but then you went and threw that in. I am sorry but that literally does not matter.

[@nerdwithoutorder]

The comparison to Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig is crazy. It’s hard to overlook but Bella Ramsey’s performance as Ellie is definitely the weakest. It feels like she just played the game and tried to emulate the character instead of reading a script and bringing something unique enough where it’s faithful to the character but also brings something new. That’s my only criticism.
