Her mannerisms were much more important than a perfect 1:1 face comparison.

And she NAILED who Ellie was for sure.

She was amazing in the role and she seems like a cool person, so I'm nothing but happy for her. I don't give two shits if her facial bone structure isn't the same as the video game model's.

What's sus about whining and insisting on wanting to look at a 14 year old video game character a certain way unironically, who in turn was weirdly based on an actor for a while there?

There are a lot of aspects that I like better about her characterization in the series. Like one or two things that I thought could've gone better, but that was more due to pacing than Bella's performance. She's a great actress

It's an odd age where you're mostly a kid but learning how to be an adult. Bella nails it. She very often leans into the child like aspects but dips a toe into adulthood when things get heavy and shows flashes of maturity. It's dramatically more authentic feeling.

Video game Ellie has some of that, but much more often leans into being an action hero. It works better for the medium, but I don't think it works as nicely into the actual story.

So yeah, they're definitely different. I prefer 14 year olds to act like, at best a fairly mature 14 year old. It's weirder when in the videogame she could've been college aged and the story would've been more believable. Ellie could've been swapped out for Ashley from RE4.

Vast majority of actors and actress. Eyes and eyebrows usually determine natural/unnatural for me

The rest of it is more along the lines "I wish she was portrayed by someone else" in every one of those topics. Everyone already knew what was up before he mentioned Bella's looks.

Exactly. I replayed the first game before starting the show and Bella even manages to convey Ellie's body language and movements at times. She absolutely nailed it despite supposedly never playing/watching any game footage.
