We all knew how the comment section would be... LOL
This is simple... Made the characters as they are in the games, no exception. That's the mark of a good adaptation. I don´t care if Ellie is gay or not, all I want is a good story who has respect for the original material.
Any romance in the serie would be a normal romance if done properly.
People (especially in the US) is completely nuts about these themes....
The main story is Joel and Ellie growing relationship. Not Ellie sexuallity or Joel inner problems.
Those are factors who may influence the inner response of each character, but not the main plot, who is so simple as, a young girl finds a father, and old man finds a daughter and a reason to live again...
@deviltaz35: Well... You know what to do... Don´t play TLOU 2 and don´t see the serie... It´s an easy way out. If you already think to know whats coming whats the point? I was happy with just TLOU 1, but I´ll give it a go... and then I'll criticize... not before...
@XBgyManX: Actually I don´t recall a RE movie ever made... They took the name of the franchise and the name of some main characters, and that's it...there are fan made movies with more RE than those piece o crap attempts of cash grabbing...
@mezzanine58: So we should just accept and smile to a guy with no charisma?The guy is an ass from start to finish, it doesn't matter how good his work is, one thing doesn't hides the other...
"I am tempted to say that this happened because of the author’s exceptional talent, but I won’t do that, I am too modest."
Without disrespecting the source material... the games are the spark, without the games the books would have half (being nice) of the popularity...And the games evolved the books into something else... characters, lore and complexity...
