Seriously. She’s in, what, the first couple hours? If anything, the live acted performance added a lot of dimensions to a character who came off as a relatively trite bad ass survivor in the game who has one line that gives her depth (the “if this has any meaning” line about taking Ellie)

I missed that, that’s pretty neat.

Right? Came here to say this. I genuinely feel like I’m watching a different show than the author. And also, glad I wound up watching the episode “live” and not waiting until this morning and seeing this headline. I’d spend the whole episode wondering how they did Tess dirty instead of just enjoying this phenomenal

Removing the spores for tendrils is an amazing idea, because even in the game, spores being isolated to one area is 100% absolutely stupid. They would stay on your clothes once you leave the spore area. And I hate to break it to you, more than the video game audience is watching this, and HBO needs more than just us

I’m going to be honest, I believe this change was not meant to reduce Tess’s standing in the show and more to do with explaining HOW the cordiceps in the show differ from the ones in the game in as scary and brutal a way possible. We already know that they don’t send out spores (this was done so characters didn’t have

Tess is a few things in the game, but dynamic is not one of them.

I suppose we see what we want to see. I still feel like she was a badass and that what they have been doing is trying to up the level of fear felt for the infected over certain scenes in the show (both Joel and Tess seem MUCH more apprehensive about running into infected than in the game). The way she handled herself

Yes... The *horrific* imagery in this *horror* show was, in fact, quite *horrific*.

Where in the PlayStation games she was a confident, dynamic character, HBO makes Tess an example

Good stuff.

And yet almost nobody talks about Rise of Skywalker. TLJ tried something. TRoS gave us cool scene vignettes (well, some at least) with no cohesion.

And that’s the part that gets me. It's possible a lot of people were planning to watch it and it might have blown up after some word-of-mouth promotion, but we'll never know. Netflix cancels shows after a couple of weeks if people don't immediately binge the entire seasons.

Literally no Marvel movie short of maybe The Eternals has a worse script than Avatar. And at least if you hate them, they end in two hours.

I think she did a great job, but the material wasn’t always there. Honestly, it kinda felt like the writers didn’t really know what to do with her, being the girlfriend locked out of the loop of the secret identity thing. There’s only so much a great actor can do when they’re given a weak character to work with.

I will never understand why fanboys hate Karen Page as much as they do. Deborah Ann Woll did a fantastic job, IMHO.

Of the 16 movies to hit $100 million in the US so far this year, only 4 have been from the House of Mouse (the three MCU films and Lightyear), so I get where you’re coming from with the perception of their massive reach but other studios have been getting viewers as well, away from Steamroller Willie. The lack of

 

And of course, you can’t go wrong with Glass Onion, the sequel to a little film called Knives Out.

Lazy worthless shit. You don’t deserve the gift of entertainment.

the movie will debut exactly on Godzilla’s 69th anniversary

Stop it with Apple. What’s wrong with Android? Not everyone likes Apple. The only good Android tablet is a Samsung
