They should of groomed a baby from birth to grow up to be everything like Ellie. That's the only way to do these IPs justice.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The right is Ellie from the video game. The left is the actress they chose to play the character on the right.

The actress did a great job playing the character, but she does not look anything like the character.

Why is it that in an adaptation where literally no actor looks like their video game counterpart (except the one who actually served as the model for her video game counterpart), people ONLY focus on how the underage girl looks "too different"

Is there a non-creepy reason for this phenomenon

What does being a great actress have to do with acting? Who is this guy? Get him the fuck out of here. We're having a serious conversation where looks are the only thing that matters

Pedro pulled off the Joel look really well. Nick Offerman does look like Bill. The actress for Tess was pretty similar to the look in-game.

David and Ellie are the only characters I can think of who look wildly different from the game characters.

Facial hair should be a little longer, but it's not super far off. Watching the show it never felt jarring seeing him play Joel.

What facial features are similar? They have no similarities at all other than being men with greying hair.

I can see it in the eyes and nose.

Like, I'd buy them as cousins but probably not brothers.

How hard is it to enjoy the actual shows when you can't train your mind to not be petty about every little thing >_>. I feel like TV is no longer directed at you when you get caught up on everything. Go do something else at that point.

If everyone is talking about how great something is and you're sitting there irritated because stuff never lines up exactly how you want, are you even getting anything out of tv anymore?

Hair, eyes, nose, ears.

Like I said, it wasn't jarring to me while watching the show that he was playing Joel. It's similar enough to the game character that it was believable to me. I have played the game 3 or 4 times tho, so personally it just means more to me.

My gf has only briefly seen me play the game and she didn't give a shit. She did think Ellie was annoying for the first couple episodes but I think the character grew on her as the season progressed.

Pedro's face is round, Joel's is rectangular. Pedro has a bit of the Chad jaw, Joel does not. Pedro is Chilean, Joel is white. Pedro's hair is black, Joel's is brown. Joel has more wrinkles.

They do not look alike aside from being men of a certain age with some amount of facial hair.

I miss when everyone here was a kid. Not looking like the character at all wasn't such a big deal back then. Hermione, James Bond, etc. looked nothing like their original counterparts and no one cared.

Now it's just a bunch of people constantly complaining about how the underage character was made less sexy, or something equivalent.

She's a talented actress and played Ellie very good. That's all that matters.

Hey, remember that time the Internet made a ridiculous, incessant, months-long fuss about how Al Pacino looks absolutely nothing like Jimmy Hoffa and yet played him in The Irishman?

Just wanted to remind people that this was a thing that definitely happened, in case you were misled into believing there's a very creepy double-standard undercurrent behind all of this.
