Who's to say the show doesn't focus on an older Ellie?Ellen Page 15+ years ago maybe.
Ellie's 14 in TLOU, Ellen Page is 33
A disabled man being put in charge of everything with no narrative justification isn’t progressive how?I think this is really stretching. In no way do women rule everything, Bran ends up ruling most of the kingdoms, the majority of the kingdom's individual rulers are men and John goes back to being in charge of the Free Folks and Watch.
I agree the writing definitely went downhill but there was lots of really dumb things in later seasons that had nothing to do with progressiveness.
The fuck has this to do with islam?!Rape culture? So it's going to be anti Islam?
The main reason things got bad is they no longer had Martin's writing to work with. The series has always had strong females from the start. We don't really know if their decisions in season 8 came from an agenda or just bad writing really. If they did have an agenda it was so super subtle and I wouldn't attribute that kind of subtlety to the showrunners honestly.You didn’t notice the weird shift in later series to women being in charge of everything, male characters becoming increasingly dumb and weak willed, identitarian views on anyone not white seeing white people as instinctively hating them, general lack of depth and subtlety in characters that had before hand been subtle, intelligent manipulators with personal interests instead of vague one dimensional archetypes?
Don’t get me wrong, it was no where near as brazen as it is these days, and far from the biggest reason the show shat itself to death in the final series, but I mean Aria’s super human murder spree and completely unearned killing of the Night King alone kind of scream progressive politics getting prioritised over good writing.
Well rape wouldl be a topic in the apocalypse. But climate change lol?
It was in no way subtle, just not as overt as it is has increasingly become since. Again, you didn’t notice it, so you lucked out, but I and a hell of a lot of other people did.The main reason things got bad is they no longer had Martin's writing to work with.

See the situation now?Well rape wouldl be a topic in the apocalypse. But climate change lol?
Every episode, someone will get raped.Does that mean Joel will also be raped and it's not played for laughs?
Cause that some rape culture i would really want too see a show explore.
Do you think Ellen Page has been approached to play Ellie yet?
“It was the action of the patriarchy — or rather ‘white men’ — that inadvertently destroyed the society they had built with the Cordyceps Brain Infection.”
According to the insider the CBI was made by the U.S. government but evolved too quickly for them to control and ‘accidentally’ leaked into the environment.
“Global warming caused the man-made CBI virus to rapidly evolve. It is actually naturally evolving to purify the air of carbon. This will be revealed through small flashbacks scenes which will gradually reveal more information as the series draws nearer to the finale.”
There is still a lot of unanswered questions about CBI and, according to recent The Last of Us Part II plot leaks, it appears as though they will not be answered in the game.
If the leaks are real then The Last of Us Part II is actually about toxic masculinity, religion, and racism. The game is said to be divisive because of its very strong LGBTQ message… and this is something the insider claims will also be a strong part of the HBO series.
A disabled man being put in charge of everything with no narrative justification isn’t progressive how?
But hey, I’m glad you didn’t notice it, because once you get that pattern recognition you realise how fucked up the media is increasingly getting, but regardless of you noticing it, it is there.
If you fancy looking up yet another reason to be frustrated by how much of a cluster fuck that show became over the last 3 series, there’s plenty of sites that catalogued this shit.
Why are you quoting me on this one? My question has nothing to do with your answerBran being made King was pretty stupid and definitely bad writing. And it's the writing which is at fault.
Brienne, Bran, Arya and Tyrion can all be seen as progressive characters and there was no issues with that. How was Bran becoming king any more progressive then Brienne being one of the best fighters in the series or Tyrion being so important?
It was the quality of writing that changed not the politics.
According to an insider, HBO's upcoming Last of Us series will adress political issues like the climate change, problematic white men and rape culture.
Ellie would be the protagonist in a heavily female focused plot while men will mostly play antagonists.
Credibility-wise: Ofcourse no official statement is made but in this day and age everything is in danger to be politicized to a certain extent.
What do you think gaffers and most importantly, do you think the game itself will be used as a tool for a political message?

Now imagine saying it with a gay one!Imagine saying rape culture with a straight face.
Just you know, their existence in the northern hemisphere and how problematic it is.
Oh you.Now imagine saying it with a gay one!
No, they can't hurt their feelingsRape culture? So it's going to be anti Islam?
Anyone remember when did HBO stray from their old path? With Wokemen or was it even sooner?
Yeah, this is the non sjw versionI thought The Last of Us was about surviving, dealing with loss and holding onto whatever little hope you have in a world devoid of it.

All the methane from zombie toots.wtf does climate change have to do with a zombie apocalypse?
In a post-apocalyptic setting, climate change stuff makes sense. As far as the rape culture commentary, all I can think of is just the standard “lawless men running wild as the world ends” stuff we’ve seen in many other similar projects.
Ehhh, I mean, I want it to be good. Hopefully it’s okay
Please tell me that's sarcasm.
wtf does climate change have to do with a zombie apocalypse?
Naughty Dog and HBO two companys that continually put out quality content.
No need to be worried at this point tbh. (Remember all The Witcher TV show early concern threads?).
People were literally trying to get her to replace Ellen (who looks like fucking Nosfaratu)
It is for the people playing the actual game.I thought The Last of Us was about surviving, dealing with loss and holding onto whatever little hope you have in a world devoid of it.
Well, the Last of Us doesn't have traditional zombies, if I recall, people are infected.
