hate to be a hater but that was some of the worst television i’ve ever seen. extremely bummed that most people will know this deeply inferior version of a beautiful, ambitious, and smart story. i’m not watching the next season. i can’t stand seeing one of my favorite stories get butchered so badly.

i deeply admire and love tlou2, while also thinking it has troubling subtext, that the first game is fairly trite and frustrating and that most of the game's creators think exclusively very stupid shit about what it means. i live a complicated life.

Kotaku TLOU S2E7 recap Despite all the golf club swings I’ve taken at this show, I’m looking forward to examining it further as HBO rolls out the next two seasons. The Last of Us Part II is one of my favorite games of all time, but I genuinely fucking hated The Last of Us’ second season. I don’t expect my feelings to improve in season three. At this point, the rot of Mazin’s poor creative decisions runs too deep for the show to be salvaged and reach the highs of the games. But if nothing else, it’s been a rewarding ride. Thank you for joining me on this seven-week journey. I think I’m due for a replay of The Last of Us Part II to wash off this stink. This shit was ass, HBO. I’ll see you in the ring again next time.

Tell me how a game made you feel, in all of that fierce subjectivity. That's the writing that really stimulates me, that gets me thinking about games in new ways. Stop removing yourself from the equation and imagining how it will land with "the voters in Terre Haute." Kill the CEO in your head.

No, I don't think I will.

Kotaku TLOU S2E3 recap Without getting too specific about future episodes, I still find the show’s suggestion that Ellie’s sadism and anger are just part of who she is to be both a misguided change and a fundamental misunderstanding of the story of The Last of Us Part II. Where some changes, like revealing Abby’s motivations early or heavily implying that Ellie had some kind of reconciliation with Joel, undercut the narrative tension of the source material but leave character dynamics intact, this shift just lets Joel off the hook for who Ellie grew up to be and colors her grief-driven crusade as more of a tantrum that needs to be managed rather than as the actions of woman lashing out at a life that has taken most of the things she’s ever wanted from her. Ellie’s arc in these games is so much more complex than anger issues, and I find the show’s vision of her violence to be so one-dimensional. Violence is a language characters use to express everything from love to hatred in The Last of Us, and it’s one that the show barely knows how to read.

The Last of Us’ weird creative decisions are getting free passes because “tv is different from games” but a mediocre video game adaptation just tells you what happened in the source material rather than even attempting to emulate the friction or themes of the original work kotaku.com/last-of-us-h...
Kotaku TLOUS2E2 recap That’s lost here, however, as Abby tells Joel everything she’s been feeling for five years, and it makes me wonder what Mazin thinks The Last of Us games were. Are they just a series of events that happened that you could watch with a controller in your hand, or were they a crafted experience meant to invoke specific feelings about our connections to the characters as whom we play? Yeah, maybe you can’t imitate that feeling exactly in passive media, but you sure as hell don’t have to pretend it was a negligible part of what made the story effective. The Last of Us Part II is a thorny, divisive tale because it’s a video game, not despite it. But in this moment, I don’t believe the team behind the show views it that way. This kind of translation feels like they view the attachment (or, in some cases, the deliberately cultivated distance) between player and protagonist as a fun bonus rather than something integral to its DNA; almost like they didn’t even think it was worth attempting to emulate for viewers.

The HBO show's unwillingness to sit with any ambiguity in its storytelling/characters, really saps it. Sure, I think the games are elevated by lots of quiet exploration/tension building but it's mostly seeing that story boiled down into hard data, pure plot to be consumed, that kills it for me

My ACLU colleagues who have been working 24 hours a day were definitely not sleeping and I am just so grateful for them!

While we were all sleeping:

The Supreme Court, in an order issued in the middle of the night, ordered the Trump administration to not remove anyone under the Alien Enemies Act until other legal steps play out in the lower courts.

www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
Screenshot of Supreme Court order, which reads: ORDER IN PENDING CASE A.A.R.P., ET AL. V. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF U.S., ET AL. There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter is currently pending before the Fifth Circuit. Upon action by the Fifth Circuit, the Solicitor General is invited to file a response to the application before this Court as soon as possible. The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court. See 28 U.S. C. $1651(a). Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissent from the Court's order. Statement from Justice Alito to follow.

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

i think tlou2 is a zionist text the same way apocalypse now is a pro vietnam war text. Its literally the meme of "not only will colonizers do war crimes they will make films about how the war crimes make their soldiers sad"
