it's funny how people confuse real quality with garbage because they never tasted real quality go watch "The Road" (2009) movie, or better read book it's based on, and after that try to get impressed by "The Last of Us". no wonder why so many young people are saying that "Rings of Power" is a "fine" tv series, lol, these people unfortunately have no clue what is a true quality

everytime i see "The Last of Us" i have a strong feeling "this and that been done better there, there and there", but people have never seen those if Transformers is the first ever movie someone is going to watch, then of course he's gonna say it's the best movie ever, but the thing is - it's not

Never said it was the best thing i've watched? I think for a game adaptation it does pretty good so far, the story between Frank and Bill was (sure) basic but the way the actors portayed it was really really good. Thank you for being so haughty for no reason

What something is based on doesn't speak to the quality of the adaptation. Further, comparing a movie to a TV show is disingenuous. Movies have always been considered the higher form, artistically, because they're typically self-contained, have larger budgets and more concise themes or characters. Television has only started to become more creatively sound in the past two decades.
2023-01-30 16:37
probably not a good adaptation then!
2023-01-30 17:47
The book is really good - I doubt you read it. The movie is just average or a bit above average.

Boomer, u are a sad person, jailed in the past. Dont like the new things "The old are the best", "in my time they make good movies, the newest are all trash", the TLoU series is the best gaming adaption to a TV Show so far, if u negate this, just prove my point.

it's funny that you are saying this to a person who regularly finds great new things, and especially funny you heard nothing about 99% of them example: "Aftersun" 2022 movie, have you heard about it? do you know that critics call it the best film of 2022? do you know that his leading actor becomes the hottest talent in Hollywood right now? do you know how many awards this film has won so far? i bet you don't, and i can tell you a lot of examples like this one so stay away please with your bullshit "the old are the best", "boomer", etc.

discounting something because it's old or 'from the past' is a truly zoomer thing to do. It's also shallow and ignorant. Most everything in art (using the term very broadly to include music, movies, literature, etc) have not only been done before, but yes, been done better before.

man, i think of this more than i should i probably sound old af, but i truly believe that music produced in the past ~15 years is just regurgitated garbage. when will there be a new form of music medium? guitar is done, piano is done, percussion is done, etc. all these major classifications of music (jazz, rock, electronic, etc) have used up basically all the potential of the instruments within that group. we haven't heard a new type of instrument in decades. will there ever be a new instrument that will give way to an actual new class of music? doubtful

I'm not sure it's fair to say it's all garbage. There are some musicians doing some pretty neat things these days. But rock/pop has been around for several decades so there's not a lot of originality because there have been literally millions of songs written in that genre. But just because something isn't original doesn't mean it can't be good, in the same way that just because something IS original doesn't mean it's great. I think what happens is the longer we live, the more we see how much copy/paste there is and we get tired of it. The upcoming generation thinks everything is new, because it's new TO THEM. So while the older generation is getting tired of the same old stuff, the new generation keeps it alive because it still feels fresh. And so the cycle goes.

To expand on your other thought about whether or not there will be a new musical genre altogether. I think yes. Looking at the history of music (or any art form), there have always been phases, or eras. An era that lasted 100 years would have been a lifetime, but it still had it's day, then didn't. So yes, I believe there will be another era of music, along with new instruments. I mean, sounds mixed/produced on computer software make up the majority of what is produced today and that didn't exist 50 years ago, so that's an example of an instrument that's practically brand new (in historical terms) that completely changed music. I could see the guitar fading out. I think the piano has stood the test of time, so I'm not sure it's going anywhere for awhile.

It's hard to say, really. I firmly believe that music has been very stagnant for quite some time. All the popular music now is regurgitation from previous genres and instruments. I suppose you could say that the computer can create endless music possibilities, but we've already been listening to that type of stuff for decades already. i'm not really talking about different tunes, melodies, or anything like that, but rather some sort of new breakthrough method for producing music, like Eddie Van Halen creating a new guitar sound in the late 70's, or synth music in the 70's and 80's. People's minds were absolutely BLOWN back then bc it was something they've never heard before. I just simply do not see that happening again
2023-01-30 19:27
There's tons of new music out there if you don't stay in the pop music genre. If it's catering to one's personal taste is a different story ofc.

I don't know. I feel like the new stuff isnt naturally as "different" as for example rock to hiphop or whatever but in these genres theres artists new influences creating kinda new sound. Like I listen to hardcore/punk for a really long time now but knocked loose for example brought something new with those nu metallish dissonances. Or sadboy rap kinda pushed further what pop punk bands did around 2010. Black metal elements getting more popular in screamo and and... Obv none of them invent a new wheel but they refresh old sounds imo.

not to sound funny, but you're just not getting it i mean the influx of a brand new instrument, technique, and/or sound all together. think of something like Eddie Van Halen when he created the Frankenstein guitar and thus a completely new guitar sound that nobody has ever heard before. Same thing when jazz fusion started to introduce computer synth sounds, which lead to the synth wave of the 80s. stuff like that in the world today, we've heard all that. we've seen all that. there are no new instruments that i know of that are reshaping the world of music. people are just using the same tools to create the same general sounds.

I actually think the entire hour long sub-plot was unnecessary, not just the gay part of it. I wouldn't be bringing up the gayness of it, if it wasn't obvious they threw that in there for woke reasons. if we lived in a world where that was just a creative choice by the director then so be it, but we both know there were suits in a studio that decided the show needed gay representation and that's why it was in there. I have no problem with gay characters in a film, it's when it's forced diversity that it usually leads to bad writing. go check out Brokeback Mountain or My Own Private Idaho if you want to see greatly written gay stories.

I mean that's what they showed us right? they didn't give us a reason why they would like each other, or even how they knew eachother were both gay.. like they're supposed to have some magical gaydar (oh this classical music isn't yours, this obscure pop 80s pop song that was cheap enough for HBO to buy the rights to is definitely you!) that was insulting to gay people and played into the stereotype that 80s music is gay. I should clarify, gaydar is a thing but it's not magical, you're able to see it in men by how they manicure themselves, their more feminine energy or their subtle behavior around men they are attracted to. they showed none of that and made it seem like he could smell that he was gay. the show oversimplified their relationship, not me.

I'm just guessing, but Bill being alone and frustrated before the whole shroom situation might have something to do here. You could see he was kinda of shy/tensed idk how to describe it, but put off. Frank on the other hand knew what he was doing but i think "old" men living with their mom might be a gay stereotype (not sure tho) but i guess that you know, no photo of any other women in the house gives a pretty good idea (either that or he's a virgin). There is also symbolism with the hole and the ladder and blah blah blah but it was telling something. wtf bro everybody loves 80s pop what is that weak ass stereotype

You're homophobic. You can just admit it. If it would've been a straight relationship, you may not have liked the episode still, but you wouldn't have lost a word about it. Nothing in this episode had anything to do with woke pandering. The only thing that you disliked about their relationship is that it was 2 men. Textbook homophobe. Deny it all you want.

nah, I've already gave 3 example of good gay movies/TV shows in this thread. if it was a straight relationship I still would have complained about how stupid and unnecessary the time jump and sub plot was just like I complained about the pacing of episode 1 of this show. I watch a lot of movies/TV so I can spot bad writing easily. when I was 13 like you I used to enjoy bad writing so that's probably the difference between us, one day you'll grow up and understand.

Because it's the truth? If the person said, "I didn't like the episode because [whatever that does not have to do with the love story being about 2 men]" it wouldn't be. But that's what they said and that's the logical conclusion.

so because a heterosexual person doesn't want to see gay men being intimate, they're automatically a homophobe? ~5-7% of the population in this country (not sure about yours) is gay. being gay is something that is not biologically natural and does not follow the traditional evolutionary path. all humans naturally pick out differences in each other and you're never going to change that. people aren't afraid of gay people, they just don't want to see something that isn't at all natural. in the rest of the animal kingdom, those gay few would not pass on their genes. that's the way it goes with natural selection this sudden push for the overwhelming majority to agree with, respect, and uphold the views of the tiny minority is getting out of hand. you don't believe what i believe, so YOU'RE A HOMOPHOBE. gtfo dude

maybe they (and me) hated the episode bc they focused too much on something that wasn't in the game, while ignoring potentially awesome aspects that would have been great to see. Bill wasn't like how they portrayed him Bill and Frank actually disliked each other Frank died from hanging they skipped the Bill / Ellie interations they skipped a potentially awesome bloater scene etc. that's why people are pissed, along with the fact that these modern shows and movies are literally forcing LBGT (once again... 5-7%) in just about EVERYTHING. people are sick of it, plain and simple.

Because Bill was a (rightwing) prepper ("survivalist") which he needed to be to be able to build that bunker underneath his mother's house basement and well... to survive. Not really any different from the game btw only that it's way easier and cheaper to program a few polygon to create a whole town, whereas it probably was a budget decision to focus on the house and the one street. Ps: him being not only in the closet but also deep underground was so symbolic. But in your "that's all woke trash" rage you don't care about the finesse the show is presenting at every corner. For example the transformation of the house over the years after Frank moved in.

Black libertarians are rarely preppers tbh A question that really bugs me for while now, probably nearly all the time i encounter you: why do you not allow room for interpretation or better why are you not entertaining the idea that people don't necessarily have overlooked what you think you can point out. I didn't say he needed to be white to be able to build stuff (that's only what you read into it) I said he needed to be a white prepper so it makes sense that he did build stuff...

episode 3 being a full hour long flashback of characters who were not intruduced previously. it takes you away from the narrative you actually cared about and inserted you into some love story you care nothing about and had no impact on Joel's or Ellie's plot. the entire sequence hour could have been skipped by the viewer and they would not have missed anything regarding the plot of the rest of the show to come. ignoring all that, if they wanted to have some stupid filler flashblack they could have atleast made it interesting to watch. it was boring as hell and felt forced. oh they fell in love because he cooked dinner for him and they played piano.. great character development. go watch Black Mirror San Junipero if you want to see how you make people care about a gay relationship in 1 hour.

I think it established a lot of rules, relationship with current govnt, raiders, comfort difference in and out of QZ's, idk there is a lot to take away from this but i guess it's mainly lore and maybe including it in third episode was not optimal, it didn't really bother me. Also talking about character development, i found it quite interesting that a survivalist, who was living with his mother, a prepper, decided to kill himself.The focus shifted from keeping imself alive to keeping a loved one alive. There are things to talk about but maybe it doesn't appeal to you for some reason? Maybe those thoughts have already been resolved by your mind? I really don't think the fact they were homosexuals had anything to do with it. It could have been an heterosexual couple, there would be no difference in the message. I soflty disagree regarding the overall plot, sure it doesn't evolve a lot, but the relationship between Ellie and Joel evolves, and each characters start to evolve separately too (very briefly unfortunately). I don't think it's badly written, i can agree that if it's not your cup of tea and you were eager to see action, it might be disapointing tho.
2023-01-31 00:08

you're right that it did establish some rules and lore, but the point i'm making is that it was a terrribly written way to do that just so they could showcase a gay relationship. all of that backstory could have been introduced with Ellie asking "where are we going, how do you know these people, is it safe out here?" some guy in this thread mentioned the movie "The Road" in that film the scene where they come up on the cannibals is a great example of interesting and entertaining writing and set the scene for their world without an hour long gay relatinoship that didn't add to the main plot. it doesn't appeal to me because they were sub plot characters who barely tied into the main story, and their plot had no effect on Joel, he'd have gotten the truck if they were dead, alive, or if their gay romance never happened... I don't care about their development and after they died, I felt like I wasted an hour of my life for a pointless sub plot. if you want me to care about some character's love plot, you better make me care about the characters first and they did not do that, they just introduced them and then threw their love story in your face like you're supposed to give a shit. you would definitely be talking about how boring and unnecessary it was if it was a straight couple. how did Joel and Ellie evolve from finding out they were dead? they didn't even react to it, they got changed, got the truck and left.. Joel didn't even talk about them much. You spent a lot of sentences hinting at me being homophobic and that's why I had a problem with the story, that is not it at all, it was just a boring sub plot.

i think i get what you mean by that, and as i said, maybe it was the most optimal way of telling their story, but is it badly written? There is a lot of symbolism, #209 for exemple, and it does serve a purpose in the story in that sense. Take the relation to sickness for exemple. You know they have their set up, it's pretty good it defends them against raiders and all, they have food, and some medicine, and they're protected against the infected, and it is the main focus of the story : surviving against the threats after the apocalypse. And Bill and Frank did that pretty good. but they're still human, in good and bad ways, a lot of the both being shown in this episode. Sickness is stilla round, and there is nothing they can do about it. And it makes you realize that, even if this is a post apocalyptic world, there is sickness, there is art, and music,and everything is not so dark after all. it's mainly what i took from this episode, and that is super important, and in that context, i guess it was preasonable to make you watch an hour of gay romance after just 2 episodes, because you have to keep that in mind for the rest of the season now. Maybe i'm being too much, i just think keeping that in mind just makes the rest of the events they'll encounter much more dramatic. Everything doesn't have to be played by the main protagonist in my opinion. A story is a way of transmitting a message, the protagonist serves that purpose but without the world building it's useless. So yeah, i'll have to disagree on that point. Other than that i agree, the way it was being brought to us was not so great. I don't think it justifies calling it bad however.

hmm I guess we'll see in the upcoming episodes if this context was needed and adds to the show. someone who has seen all the episodes of this show told me before the show was released that this show was a legit 8.5/10 except for episode 3 which was a pointless LBGQT+1 episode. so I don't know if this will have much ramifications for the story.
2023-01-31 00:51
Also (maybe i'm reaching) I felt that there was a weird resemblance between Bill and Joel until Bill let Frank in his life. And it becomes a warning (via the letter at the end), basically saying that if Joel keeps shutting down to others, he might end up like Bill at the start of the story, and miss out on life. And ofc Tess is already gone but he still as Ellie in a different way. I found it interesting too, but to each their own

Actually a 10/10 episode. That's what you call a top tier television. Incredible story telling. The chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey (who's btw an absolutely amazing actress) is just magical. Can't wait to see more of it. This episode got me hooked af, and I was sceptical about the first 2. And I know that the gay scenes could've been avoided. I don't mind them kissing like in that wedding scene, but having sex ? Kinda had to look away for a few seconds. Like I said, it wasn't necessary and will only bring hate towards the show.
2023-01-31 01:40
I liked the episode, maybe I'd like a bit more Ellie and Joel cause they're developing a good chemistry and their dialogue is well done. Really love both the actors. Not my favorite thing to watch gay dudes having sex and kissing, but IMO it was done tastefully and this is the last thing I will remember about this episode. HBO just know how to do it, unlike netflix who ruin and fail at everything they get their hands on.
