A Banboo Shark Simply Chilling

“everyone I have ever cared for has either died or left me. everyone - fucking except for you"

All she ever wanted was for someone to care about her??? And then you mean to tell me she cut him off for two years??? If the bar scene hadn’t of happened would she of ever talked to him again???

EXACTLY!!! she just wanted someone to care for her and then for her to ignore joel for 2+ years??? doesn't line up for me. if the bar scene didn't happen, I seriously doubt she would've talked to joel again. if we act like the golfing didn't happen, maybe a few years down the line, they would've talked. but I doubt they ever would've been as close as they were in the first game. and the conversation would've been incredibly strained.

was talking to someone about it and I really hope they change it for the second season. show ellie and game ellie are two different people to me. show ellie loves joel and actively wants a father figure. I mean, look at how affectionate she was from the start, when joel wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. show joel and ellie just seem to be closer. I.e. it wasn't time that did it. I can see show ellie being mad for a couple months, but 2 years???? mm-mm, not in the show. game ellie wants a father figure, sure, but it's not a necessity for her. yes, it would be nice, but oh, her father figure lied, guess I don't need one anymore. game joel and ellie just don't seem that close, so the 2 year estrangement kinda makes sense. I still hate it, but it makes sense

once again thinking about "everyone I have ever cared for has either died or left me. everyone - fucking except for you"

Are there any specific scenes you’re hoping they make in live action from part 2? I’m really hoping for scene from the gutair strings flashback where Joel kills that bloater to save Ellie. It’s such a badass moment. I kinda hate how they just brush it off afterwards tho

I'm trying not to get too excited about scenes, in case they don't make them live action, but there are definitely some I want to see!

firstly, I would LOVE to see joel and ellie have that conversation about dina. where joel looks over at ellie and says that dina would be lucky to have her? I just need to see pedro and bella act that out. it is a necessity.

I would also love to see the guitar scene flashback! I really hope they change it a little bit, though, because joel showed like no emotion when ellie almost got her head ripped off. I feel like joel should've had more emotion than that? sure, the estrangement had already started, but that's still your daughter. show something

also the birthday flashback! I would LOVE to see pedro and bella reenact that whole scene. with joel having to wear a cowboy hat, and ellie going around and putting hats on all the dinosaurs, and the spaceship D: the whole flashback needs to happen. it is, once again, a necessity.

the scene where ellie sings take on me to dina also needs to happen. some people missed it in the game, but I think it's just so important. and it should still be take on me, I think, cause they played it during the riley and ellie episode. and I know the creators knew what they were doing.

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I have off the top of my head :)

if you're bad at something when you're first starting out, just know your younger self is trying to help you :) they want to join! it looks fun! (you're doing great)
