How Bella Ramsey From The Last Of Us Is Dealing With Negative Reactions On Social Media

Just read up on it. Ramsey chose to be non binary because no one was sure what gender the freak is. Im still not sure shes not a bird.

Just found out the reason shes referred to as "they" is because they're "non binary". First time I've ever felt like ive understood what that means and agree. Not masculine looking, but way to hideous to even be deemed female. At least they admit it. Granted "it" would be a better pronoun in this situation.

Ive never been so viscerally distraught by the looks of any actor or actress. Ellies bratty attitude is cute.. When shes cute. When she looks like a scary bird girl hybrid it just makes her seem awful. I don't even care if she looks like the og character as much. Heck, i forgot the story to the point id thought joels daughter was ellie. Pc hollywood casting would be.. Whatever. at least i could look at her without an urge to complain on every site that'll listen. Shed be more pleasant to see as a cordycep zombie.

i think she did good for her first

It’s not about looking exactly like the source material, but rather embodying the character.

Bella looks nothing like Ellie. And perhaps she (they) may not be the most attractive actress. But remember who also didn't fit their profile, but ended up being possibly the best iteration of a character? Daniel Craig as 007. I'll reserve any judgment about Bella until I watch the show. I'm glad the overall reviews so far are exceptionally strong.

As long as she is a good actress than I’m totally ok that she play Elli.

Must be awful being a woman and having media constantly focus on any negative energy directed your way. Look at this article for example, choosing to highlight the negative comments about Ramsay. They could have written about the overwhelmingly positive response to her performance, but no. They’ve chosen to focus on the negative. Didn’t do that with Pedro Pascal. Very sad.

They couldn't have possibly picked an uglier girl to play Ellie, especially one that calls herself "non-binary". This show is gonna tank.

I don't have as big a problem with Ramsey playing the part of Ellie as I do the casting of a Black girl for the part of Sarah. Sarah is a cute blond white teenage girl who in the game I could easily believe was Joels daughter. That said I have a huge problem believing that this nappy haired black girl is Joels daughter given that Joel is a good ole boy from Southeast Texas. I highly doubt that interracial marriage was accepted in Joels time or part of the country.

This is further evidence that Neil Cruckman has screwed up again at the very beginning with the casting. Perdro doesn't fit the role of Joel. No beard and can't grow one from what I've read. Person cast as Tommy looks nothing like Perdro and they're suppose to be brothers in this show. The person casted as Tess is too old and looks nothing like Tess. I mean come on people if your going to copy a video game and bring it to life then cast people that fit the damn roles and look like the characters from the game.

Keyboard warriors gotta keyboard. Best to just not look at social media. There will probably be millions more supportive comments than toxic ones once the show comes out but most people only remember the toxic ones. Just stay away. And if people want an Ellie that looks EXACTLY like Ellie, replay the game and stfu. Sure, it would be nice if they looked more alike but the most important characteristic is acting ability. And once a show has been cast and in production, trolling the cast over petty things will gain you nothing. If the show is as good as critics are saying, these trolls will probably soon forget about the actor's looks.

I've been saying this a long time. These little bitch gamers of today have never been punched in the mouth for talking too much.

The only actress that looked like Ellie was Ellen Paige. I think the character was even inspired by her. Since she was sold on the idea that mutilation is the path to happiness, there's no more Ellen. Now we have Elliot.

Bella Ramsey is a great actress. Been a fan ever since the "You Refused the Call" rant on GOT.

She may not be the spitting image of Ellie, but she looks the part and I have no doubt she will deliver.

Now about Joel.... If Spiderman can play Nathan Drake, then f*ck it. I also think he kinda looks the part, just expected Joel to be taller.

what is really odd to me is how come no one complained about Perdro Pascal? he doesnt look like Joel and Joel was white due?

why are people so gung ho about Ellie looking so different? its actually kind of weird. i feel like here is a pedo reason why that may be the case

That's the problem with trying to adapt a videogame. With all due respect to our fellow gamers, but a lot of them are toxic, way too ignorant about other media that are not videogames, and they practically expect a live action reenactment of the game with people that look similar. No creativity, no good actors, no art at all. It's by far the most toxic nerdy community, because this doesn't happen with Marvel's MCU.

The funny thing is that we all gamers then whine about the awful videogame adaptations and again lose hope. But what can we expect? If the whole community is toxic and has zero ambitions in any kind of creative work based on a videogame.

I blame the showrunner.

Death, Taxes and nerds complaining about stuff online. What's new?

I don't understand the "the acto doesn't look like the character" complaints. Would people rather actors be casted strictly based on looks or talent? Because if the goal is to find a great actor that is a splitting image of a fictional character good luck.
