I dont know what to think about gender-related woke things. I have no opinion on that. But Ive seen many people on the internet making comments about Ellie's looks. In my opinion, not everyone is a Greek god in real life. Some people have attractive faces and some dont. I personally think it's a good idea to cast normal, average looking people in lead roles. But I also think that if the story specifically demands an attractive lead, then they shouldn't mess with that, like what they did with Snow White. Such things only do harm to other good initiatives.

Andor Season 2 has been amazing, like the first season it takes its sweet time to get going but once it does, it is some of the best Star Wars I have watched in a long time. Left with 2 episodes. 

When did this come out ? I loved Andor first season as well.

Started airing on 22nd April, all episodes are out on Hotstar. Honestly, episodes 7–10 were top-tier, haven’t seen TV this good in ages.

I saw the first few episodes of season 1 and got bored. Dropped it. Maybe i should restart it

Yup it takes its sweet time to get into the thick of it, but it is rewarding if you stick to it.

I understand the feeling of a gamer inside you. But is it really necessary to copy everything from the game? Although, I do think Abby should be muscular like in the game, it makes her more badass.

 

By the way, Im also disappointed with this season. They failed to capture the strong emotions from the game. All they had to do was copy the scenes exactly as they were- the game already made things easy for them

My perspective, from someone who has not played the 2nd game yet (but i already knew the main plot points from random spoilers on the internet) 

 

Bellas acting is fine. Not perfect but fine. Some scenes she over-acts but nothing too egregious. When she has to deliver strong emotions she's actually very good. 

 

Looks wise she could have at least lost some weight i think. She looks too similar to the first season. They're trying to make up for it with hair and clothes and it ends up looking worse. 

 

I do think that the memes and hate is overblown. From her perspective it must be devastating to see so many people meme and mock your looks. Genuinely feel bad for her and hope she can ignore it. People being extra cruel for no reason.

 

As for the show itself i think it's a drop down in quality. The reduced episode count, this isaac guy feeling like a stereotypical bad guy, dinas character and the pregnancy plot. Not a fan of any of that. 

 

Pedros acting is still top notch. Abbeys acting was good too. The production elements are still great. The world, the lighting, the set design, the music. Enjoying it for all that. Im enjoying the general plot too. 

 

Can't wait to play the game later.

Agreed. I think anyone who’s played the game can’t help but draw comparisons and that definitely clouds how we see the show. There’s this Reddit group I follow that has both gamer and non-gamer discussions, funny enough, all the negativity is coming from the gamer side. I guess since we’ve all played the game, we go in with expectations and end up nitpicking, which doesn’t really help in judging the show on its own. Meanwhile, the non-gamers seem to be really enjoying it.

 

I have caught myself doing the same, constantly comparing it to the game and becoming overly critical. But honestly, I think the show’s decent and getting more hate than it deserves.

 

The latest episode especially, they absolutely nailed it. Pedro was incredible, just pure class and Bella was good too... really held her own. Watching the show makes me want to boot up the game again.

How can you call yourself a gamer when you watch the TV show first before playing the game it’s based on :bash:

Last of Us S2

Liked it but felt could have been better. Lot of the critical scenes were done better in the game imo.

 

House of the Dragon S2

Half way through and absolutely loving it.

The Meleys/Rhaenys scene broke me, looked like Meleys was almost saying 'Sorry mother, I failed'.

Curious of what you think of the 2nd half. Do post when you're done.
