• I just want to point out that one of the beautiful parts of TWD is that it does keep on going. Most zombie stories only focus on the start of the outbreak, but doesn’t show how things evolve as time goes on. This is what made TWD different.

      But I agree, eventually it needs an end, even if that is everyone dying/infected.

      The Last of Us needs to end because it’s based on an existing story that has an ending. Don’t invent new stuff, just tell the story that needs to be told and then end it.

    The second season has/had an insurmountable problem. The source material is just bad. The first game is one of the GOAT, the second game was just bad.

    You don’t kill a beloved character at the start… There is no recovering from that in a TV show or movie.

    Unfortunately the second game did that. The show had to either ignore that and go in a totally different direction or kill the beloved character.

    If the show had not killed him the amount of screaming and vitriol the online community would have unloaded about the show would be without end.

    Unfortunately they killed the beloved character so that just alienated all the non-gamer fans.

    It also doesn’t help that the entire second season felt completely rushed and slow as shit at the same time.

    I love Bella Ramsey as Ellie, watching her catch so much shit is just heart breaking.

      I felt the same way a few times throughout the second game but I came to appreciate the storyline. When he was killed, I thought fuck this I’m not playing this shit. Then again when I had play as Abby, but quickly game to appreciate the way it was narrated.
