I'm slowly catching up with TLOU. I played it when it came out and really, really loathed it...

Non spoilery terms, but Joel's decision just lost me. I really wished there was an alternate ending, but alas. I played Pt 2 and  I've enjoyed season 1 thus far, and I think one of the key things is that I'm not playing as Joel. I am passively watching a story unfold as opposed to actively playing it, and being railroaded into actions I just flat out disagree with. I'm curious as to how I'm going to find the finale, because I legit hated it.

Neil Druckmann has announced he's not longer going to be working on the show for Season 3.

Given how much Season 2 deviated from the game (and how bizarre and poorly received those deviations were), it does feel like Druckmann and Mazin have probably had some creative differences that has caused Druckmann to walk away. Mazin has the keys now and the quality is probably going to dip further as a result.

Is it definite that Druckman was against the changes and was the one upholding quality? I saw that Pedro Pascal was frustrated with Druckman’s directing and apparently at one point asked him “do you like art?” lmao

Part 2 (the game) was goated with the sauce. Utterly brilliant. Then the zionist subtext came to surface and I just can't really enjoy it anymore.

Haven't watched season 2 of the show. Kind of lost interest tbh.
