We can only hope. The only thing that could hold it back would be Part 2 being multiple seasons as there would be years in between breaking up the story, which the game didn't have to deal with.

Completely agree

I gotta watch arcane. But I'm going to wait till season two and binge both of them.

And more dangerous too. Wish there was more infected because there were too many episodes where one didn't even make a brief appearance.

Tbh not every actor in a video game adaptation is gonna look the same head to toe That’s just something that’s gonna happen

I think the issue is that Ellie didn't feel like Ellie, at least for me. She lacked a lot of the innocence and kindness that I saw in Ellie in The Last of Us . She felt more like the Ellie in the second game.

@@matthewjuasemai3257 I think the issue the person above had is probably not that she looked different, but that she felt different too. For me, the Ellie in the show didn't feel like the Ellie from the games, at least for me. Joel, on the other hand, whilst not a carbon copy, still came across like Joel.

@@liamnidas honestly I agree like Ellie was a little shit in the show

@@matthewjuasemai3257 She was really annoying too. And just a bit too weird in my opinion.

Part II is a logical continuation of the story and themes of the first game. Both games together tell a larger story that enhance each other. Regardless of whatever the fuck you've heard online (don't get me started on the largely bullshit, bad faith "discourse" around the game)... it is worth playing through (if you have the means, PLAY IT, don't watch it. It is a game, it is meant to be played). You should have your *own* opinions on things. And the show is great, too. It is an adaptation, it is a separate canon (i.e. the story of the games is separate from that of the show). It doesn't care much about superficial crap, and chooses to remain faithful to the most important thing: the core of the characters, the tone, and the themes. Then it takes creative liberties to do things somewhat or even COMPLETELY differently. The show is a separate thing. It is not trying to replace the game; neither thing is a replacement for the other. The show is trying to tell that same story via a different medium, hoping to utilize its strengths. I really like it for what it is. It is a worthy adaptation of the games. And it is really nice to see new players who play the games because of the shows. I very much look forward to seeing how they adapt the second game.

@@SidPhoenix2211absolutely this! I love part 2 more than part 1 but that’s just my personal opinion and I would have missed out of that entire experience if I just listened to what other people thought.

@ignorethis214 Sometimes I'll watch a show that I'm planning on making a video on but then end up feeling indifferent towards like Andor. That was a show that disappointed me. Sometimes, there are shows that I love but choose not to make a video on because I haven't seen them in a while and I want to rewatch them before I make a video. That's what I did with Black Clover. Two shows that I watched recently that I probably won't be making a video on are Fallout and Reacher. I enjoyed both, especially Fallout. But I don't feel strong enough about either to make a video. Two anime that took me by surprise would be Heavenly Delusion because it is excellently written but not a lot of people have been talking about it. and the other would be ID: Invaded because it isn't the greatest anime in the world but it hit right with me and I loved the main character. Also Kaiju no. 8 too because it wasn't what I expected and at first that disappointed me but now I really love that anime. I don't really have any comfort shows. Same with games. once I've watched something I'm done with it. Only very rarely do I ever return to something I've watched before and that's usually if there's another season. That might change as I get older though.

@@SidPhoenix2211 They did an overall excellent job with the show, and like you said neither feels like a replacement for the other. just two alternate takes of the same well-crafted story. I'm very interested in how season two adapts the game as I think it has the potential to really expand on it. Personally, I didn't like the second game because of how small (whilst still important) Joel's role in that game was. (Whilst I like Ellie, I never found her as interesting as Joel.) And more importantly, the structure of the game. How the first half was Ellie and then halfway through the game sort of resets for Abby. And I didn't like the ending, I think Ellie should have killed Abby (which I think was the original planned ending for the game before it was apparently changed for being too dark.)

@@Lunaxrose It's good to listen to the thoughts and opinions of others but you should always experience something for yourself. There are plenty of things that people love that I don't like and vice versa. I would never know that without giving them a chance.

I agree. I just hope they restructure the story a little because I don't know how well it will be received if season 2 is Ellie's story (which will probably be received fine) but then season three is completely Abby.
