Ironic, considering how the last few minutes of the episode show us Joel taking his first steps towards becoming Ellie's protector and surrogate father.

Bella Ramsey bonded with Pedro Pascal over her "gender journey."

What a confused young lady.

Anybody that refers to your average mundane undertakings as a "journey" has perceptual issues to begin with.

Normally operating people just work-out as part of life, manage it, increase their skills, etc. People who can't comprehend fundamentals of something do the absolute deep-dive and call it a "journey" because they were so far gone in the first place that they had to have some transformative seeking of the mundane information.

It's thick-rimmed glasses, coffee-house, turtle-neck-sweater style sophistication. These people didn't learn anything in a 4 year "journey" through college, but they call looking at the knot between their legs a "Journey".

That's not sophistication, that’s just fooling oneself. And no one else.

Exactly. Except for the rest of the cross-section of the population who cites Psuedo-Journey's over mundane nonsense. They get fooled.

Is it not creepy at all that a 45 year old man aspired to be some kind of a "gender guide" for a 17 year old (when she was filming) girl?

Because there are like at least 2 points of SJW bull#@!( involved, they won't claim "grooming" this time.

I wonder if this will be another Ellen Page situation... Bill Ramsey, maybe? Kinda funny considering Page originally inspired Ellie.

And then they'll have Ellie become a transgender man in the middle of the Last of Us II storyline (just like they did in the Umbrella Academy) and it'll be hailed as a bold and brave change, like how episode 3 was this season.

Well, now we know where she reattached that finger Abby bit off...

*Andrew NDB* · 02-28-2023, 11:12 AM

wtf... Bella Ramsey used "chest blockers" (basically, to flatten her boobs) during the whole shoot? Because she didn't want to show her body. What? You're an actress. Your literal JOB is to put your body in front of the camera.

I think it's because Ellie is still a kid, so Bell has to hide her boobs to look more like a kid.

What's weird is that this is obviously to make her look more like Ellie and yet she's trying to treat this as some sort of gender sexuality thing.

That would be like if the Punky Brewster girl strapped hers down cause of gender issues.

~~ChosenOne~~ · 02-28-2023, 11:43 AM

And on that note, something I'm curious about: when do you guys suppose season 2 will enter production, given how Bella is still a tad too young/short/baby-faced/what-have-you to convincingly portray Part II Ellie?

Totally. “How can I use this to further my activism?”

I wish someone would explain to these weirdos that all the mutilation and make-believe in the world still won't change their DNA. Trust the science, y'all.

I've heard actor was taking pills to make his dick soft, so it won't stand out in his tight costume, but it was in the 60s. Actress taking pills for her boobs to stay small is...ahem...rather strange to say the least.
Can't costumers do something about said issue?

Well, she was 17 when she shot it and would be at least 20 by the time it's time to shoot season 2. And Ellie was 14 in the first game and 19 in part 2, no? But Bella Ramsey has got that Tom Holland thing (with a Down Syndrome twist) going on to where she's probably going to look the way she looks now for... many years to come. So she's probably as LOU2 Ellie now as she's ever going to get.

So wrong, yet so right.

Part I Ellie is easy and believable, Part II Ellie as she looks right now... With the hand-to-hand fighting and the making out and the baby... Not so much. Don't know how it'll look/work if she doesn't physically mature just a little bit more.
