Taste is subjective but to call Bella Ramsey a bad casting decision is to
1- completely mischaracterize and/or misunderstand Ellie's personality, mannerisms and speech pattern because Bella Ramsey has had that shit down to an art form from day one. I don't know what you guys are thinking.
And 2- to admit to being fucking blind! No, they don't look like Ellie from the game (and if that's your only complaint then I hope you keep that energy for Joel, Sarah, Maria, Tommy and show exclusive characters since we're apparently all such fucking purists now) but do you know who Bella Ramsey DOES look like?! ASHLEY FUCKING JOHNSON! The voice actor and motion capture actress for in-game Ellie AND THE ACTRESS FOR ELLIE'S MOM IN THE TV SHOW!!!!!
Once again, taste = subjective. You are not obligated to LIKE Bella Ramsey (albeit they haven't exactly given anyone a reason not to.) But to deny that they are a BRILLIANT Ellie is to be a pedantic asshole pissy that they couldn't 3D print a fictional character into the real world and puppet them around on strings in accordance with your tastes alone. You know, like something animated or whatever.
Bella Ramsey is doing a bang-up job. Some of you- NOT ALL! BUT SOME!- are just mad you can't lust after the 14 year old teen girl anymore and it really fucking shows
That birthing scene in the last of us was still somehow an easier birth than any of the on screen births in house of the dragon
Ashley Johnson (the original voice of Ellie Williams in The Last of Us game Part 1 &2) as Anna, mother of her character in the HBO series;
I made this Gifset on April, 2 of 2023 and since then it`s been (infecting) rotting at my drafts - since I forgot what was supposed to be written in this post - but anyways, here i go.
I watched most of this show all alone, but the final and the rerun of ep. 8; i got the opportunity to watch in the night of release with my family reunited (mom and stepdad) and it was such a surreal feeling! To have the chance of do it and comment with them about the logistics and experience such surprise at the few seconds of "Look for the Light". I just wish i could live inside that moment forever.
Also my mom is a nurse, just like Anna and it was priceless; just to witness her watching this last episode and talk about how this apocaliptic universe would be in reality.
I miss it so much....
