Although there has been no real information revealed about the screen adaptation of the popular Naughty Dog game, The Last of Us, HBO have officially announced that it is currently in pre-production.
A source close to production revealed that Ellie will be the main protagonist in a heavily female focused plot.
Ellie will be joined by her first girlfriend Riley, as well as Tess, Marlene, Maria, the insider told us.
Men, while some indirectly, will collectively play the part of the antagonist.

lmfao this has to be some bullshit they are running with, right? It'd be hilarious tho

after dealing with the virus i dont think anybody sane will be interested in a game or movie dealing with a virus that decimates society. I think thats the reason they delayed the game.

maybe it'll show how in the post-apocalyptic setting, it positively benefited the climate, like you see in the game, where nature seems to have reclaimed a lot of the environment.

and the rape culture stuff can be dealing with the whole David thing

Thing will incorporate popular or topical things at the time of its creation that can be related to its subject matter. I'm sure its going to deal with more than that, but everyone will cry about those two for some reason lol.

One season. Tops.
It should be 4 seasons and each season covers a....season of year. Like how it works in the game where its broken into 4 plot sections over a year

I mean just being objective here. If most of humanity was wiped out the environment would improve in terms of pollution. And without laws or a government rape would likely increase (this has been a staple in post-apocalyptic fiction forever).

I never actually played the game. Did it have a lot of anti-male subtext? >_>

If not, it seems weird to inject it into a video game adaptation rather than just making an original feminist story about zombies. Its HBO, its not like theyre hurting for writing talent. <_<

No, the base idea behind "woke or SJW" stuff is valid, it's just getting entirely too psychotic and silly at this point. It's becoming a menace rather than something to improve society and how people behave like it should have been originally.

I wasn't talking about the TV show, it was this kind of anti-intellectual nonsense being pushed as fact in nearly every aspect of our lives. Of course CE doesn't do nuance so I'm just wasting my time engaging here.

People use this kind of extreme thinking as a cudgel to beat people with and ruin their lives and the fact that it's still getting pushed is pretty dangerous yes. Look at "Woke Twitter" when they decide to crusade against people. Facts don't matter, just destroying the "offenders" life does.

I don't know, normally the postulate is that it's invariably shit. But I heard some good praise of that Witcher thing on Netflix. Haven't seen it myself but it seems to have met some favourable reception.

Problem is video game publishers are notorious for not understanding why things bomb.

If it bombs, it bombs, and so does the whole IP because "I guess nobody likes TLoU anymore!"

two thoughts

climate change stuff is probably dealing with the conditions that allowed the fungus/parasite to develop and spread in the first place (this is already kinda hinted at in the first game with news reports and shit)

the rape culture thing is probably the david shit, as has been pointed out already
