CAUGHT UP W TLOU!!!!
okay so second ep!! i was super excited for it and whooee it was just as good as i was expecting. this part is so so scary in the game and they made it so tense and atmospheric!! but i was wondering like. why dont they do the thing :/ like when the clickers were there and then joel stepped on the fucking glass shard. like in the game you can throw [brick/bottle] to distract em and crouch-walk the other way. are they saving that for later?? i hope it comes up. anyway wHYYYYYY did they do THAT w tess’s death aahhhhh!!!!!! so fuckingg gross and invasive!!!! fucking gnarly wtf!!!!!!! okay but it still made her iconic death scene still cool but in a diff way. like her inner strength was so well-portrayed, like in her last moments before total assimilation she still did the thing. tess is like a universally well-liked character so im glad they didnt change that aspect of her. i still dont like that they had a zombie mouth-tendril her (male zombie too… uncomfortable…) but its not cuz im mad at the spores->tendrils change. i get it. not smart to constantly cover up the actors faces w masks. and the tendrils are fucking viscerally disgusting. its whatever to me. i like the visuals so much. esp that fucking horde of prone bodies just wriggling en masse. fucking grody as hell. anyway, yeah, cool ep 2, thoroughly enjoyed.
ALSO. I FINALLY FOUND BETTER KOREAN SUBS. the first round was so awkward and weird and stilted and the jondaenmal-banmal was so wild and out of the place. but i found this other subber thats not just actually korean, they add lil * when necessary (like to explain that wake me up before u go go is an 80s song :) !! all according to keikaku) and my mother had a lot of fun. she asked me as soon as it was over how many episodes there are gonna be and when the next one is coming out lololol she agrees w me that ellie is brilliantly acted and very cute. my mother’s all like, ‘the child is swearing and acting big, but not cuz she’s actually ill-mannered. she’s actually a sweet kid, huh. just… frightened.’ astute observation, mother!!!! the new subs are litcherally so much better. like night and day. naturalistic, well-thought-ought, characterful, and ellie switches between jondaenmal to banmal and back again just like a real kid would. just like i would, even. sticking to this subber from now on.
ALSO BONUS. during the hotel scene she asked me to pause and then randomly asked me, ‘the main guy. who plays joel. whats his name again?’ and in my head in like 🙄🙄 oh here we go again. mommy crush time. and im like ‘his name is pedro pascal’. ‘is he famous?’ ‘oh, super famous and popular right now. he’s a main character in a star wars and he’s been in a lot of recent movies. he plays a lot of dads.’ AND THEN MY MOM SAYS: ‘you know, it’s just the makeup and the acting. that’s why joel looks so gruff. but when you really look at him… doesn’t he have like… a kindly face…?? doesn’t he actually look like he’d be sweet??’ and i’m like ‘!! oh!! yeah!! if you watch his interviews he just laughs and giggles a lot!!’ and my mom nods. ‘thats what i thought. its just the character, isnt it. the actor himself has a face full of laugh lines. okay.’ and then we continued watching. all this to say, i think ive lost my mother to pedro pascal
