Only because they're a vampire or something tho. They've aged like 2 days since Game of Thrones.

they're spending an awful lot of money to produce a show that you can already see acted with more charisma between the two leads in a five hour YouTube video
Still worth it if they do another episode like episode 3 in season 1

Okay but the games suck and Pedro Pascal+Bella Ramsay rule so it's a fair trade

Eh I agree she was poorly cast. Was fine for S1 but as shes supposed to age up they should have recast her.

I haven't played 2 but isn't it only a few years after 1? She wouldn't change that much

She goes from 14 to 19 by the sequel. She looks like she aged to adulthood by then. Bella still looks 14. Hopefully with her being the star in S2 shell shine through that obstacle.

Meh, I got used to her in the role. She really does look young for her age though. Honestly if they tried making her look all gritty it wouldnt work on her probably.

Have they confirmed theyre going straight to the second game ?

Id imagine a season 2 would be a good way to world build before season 3 is the revenge story.

I haven't played the games so this is not a concern of mine. First season was great. Bella Ramsay is 20 by the way.

I don't understand why they style Bella's hair the way they do. Even in the first season, it looked nothing like Ellie's. It's like they want to show off her forehead or something.

Also I didn't think Pedro looked like Joel in season one but he looks even less like Joel now.

I wish Ella Purnell played Ellie instead. Or even Elliot Page.

It was confirmed before the first season was done airing.

makes sense for a vampire to have a mushroom zombie immunity, tbh

I dont think making her appear more gritty/aged-up will be a huge deal. That said, theyre splitting the second game into multiple seasons, so theres still time.

Before I started Season 1 I thought there way 0 percent chance she was going to be good. I was 100 percent wrong. She killed it. She was great. My only complaint, and I'm probably an asshole for it, is she is kind of goofy looking. But I think once I got used to seeing her that went away.

I love both games. I love the first season. And I thought she's a great cast and did a very good job.

As someone who didn't agree with the casting choice of Ramsey at first, I highly disagree woth those that say she sucks for the role. I think she's almost perfect, the only blemish being that she obviously looks really goddamned young for her age.

Really looking forward to season 2. I'm wondering how they're goong to do it though, and if they're going to take real care to avoid the same pitfalls they made in Part II.

Same. She was fantastic.

I was hesitant at first due to the difference in appearance. Those concerns vanished once she opened her mouth and started talking. Totally nailed the attitude and won me over.
The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

This post perfectly encapsulates my feelings on her role as Ellie.
