If I Had A Nickel For Every Time There Was An Honestly Really Good Darkly Comedic Show Starring A Young,

If I had a nickel for every time there was an honestly really good darkly comedic show starring a young, naive woman who learns about the darkness of the world but doesn’t let it change her, her loser boyfriend who’s desperate to feel some control in the world, which also featured a manipulative, chaotic, charming, awesome man with an accent and featured a scene where someone reluctantly cuts a dead guys body part off, that’s really a satire about corporate greed by fucking AMAZON, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

*chanting* GHOSTS GHOSTS GHOSTS

It’s… well, believe it or not it’s sorta angsty, actually. Basically the synopsis is that back in Jackson, Ellie starts to see hallucinations of the people who she’s killed, directly or indirectly (that she blames herself for).

It’s pretty awesome how TLOU Game has some of the best VA performances of all time, and TLOU HBO has some of the best Live Action performances of all time. Like, jeez, the casts in both are just out of this world!!

Can I just—

LOOK AT THIS GUY!! LOOK AT HIM!!

I LOVE THIS ZOMBIE SO MUCH!!! He’s like… gorgeous, in this scary way. The cordyceps growing out of him, the way he moves, it’s just amazing.

Not to mention the prosthetics, makeup and effects that went into this. Seriously I cannot express my love for this big guy.

Me:

Something TLOU HBO does SO well is show that Ellie’s just a kid. Even when she’s fighting for her life or in situations no kid should ever be in, she’s still just a kid. A kid who’s trying to act like an adult, sure, but just a kid.

She pretends she’s tough because that’s how she’s survived, but you get these wonderful, occasionally heartbreaking moments of seeing just how young she is.

You see it when she’s laughing with Riley or fascinated by a car. You see it when she’s making stupid decisions that she doesn’t know any better than to make. You see it when she tries to help Sam and has no idea what to do, and when she’s lost and scared while Joel’s incapacitated. You see it when she breaks down in her father-figures arms after learning a new horrible thing about humanity, and in her curiosity and naivety and recklessness.

She’s a kid so out of her depth, with nothing but the weight of the world on her shoulders and the lessons she’s learned from living in a world where everyone’s doing awful things to survive. She tries so hard to pretend to be in control, but you see these glimmers of the kid that she is, and her good intentions and hope that the world tries and tries to take away from her.

Y’all know me way too well looool🤣

Yep, Scars is the sequel to Skin! It’s gonna be angsty as fuck and sad as fuck😭
