I guess some ppl don’t realize that makeup/costume is a part of acting and a major part of portraying a role. Yeah Bella looked young in S1, she was supposed too. And Ellie in the game looks young too because she is (19 in the 2nd game) and she still looks young then underneath the blood, and dirt caked on her face and clothes, which will be part of the costuming. You ‘can’t imagine Bella being menacing’? Did you not see episode 8 in S1? That there is proof she can act menacing, Bella’s a great actor no doubt about that. If you don’t like the casting so much then don’t watch it.
Plus you mentioned Abby being a ‘hulkette’ but I don’t see you complaining about Kaitlyn Dever not looking strong enough or having enough muscle compared to Abby in the game. I wonder why.
It’s telling how these kinds of people take every criticism to mean, “you just want your fuck the actor!” They completely ignore 90% of people are complaining about the casting because Bella looks like a 9 year old and they’re 5’1”…
Bella worked in the first season because, while not looking like Ellie from the game, they pulled off the “I’m a kid” phenotype and captured the spirit of Ellie. Bella can act.
The problem isn’t even Bella’s height since canon Ellie is 5’3”. The problem is that Bella, for me, can’t pull off the menacing tone because of how they look.
If Bella played some 15th century queen with the pale white face and recessed hairline, they’d be amazing for the role. Maybe some Victorian woman. They have that phenotype; like a painting. And they pulled it off when they ware meant to be 14 in s1 despite looking younger. But Bella doesn’t look 19. Bella looks 9. I can’t see them holding their own against the hulkette that is Abby.
was measuring out some sugar and i scooped out one spoonful and fucking said "two." i didn't know you could even lose count that fast
I loved David but my precious Philip deserved much more than the show gave him
kathryn and david getting more screentime than philip and trevor plus actual character arcs over 3 seasons while philip and trevor get single episode arcs is my villain origin story. no I don't care about kathryn's marriage issues. no I don't give a shit that david has anxiety now. this is the equivalent of devoting half of star trek's runtime to the hypothetical civilian spouses of kirk and spock. I'm inconsolable. there's 3 episodes of the show left and kathryn is still drinking wine in her fucking apartment
awesome. this is just what America needs
Bella Ramsey is an amazing actor and so excited to see their acting in S2!
with the last of us season 2 coming out all I have to say is
