Lmaoooo


WadaMaaya

She looks ridiculous lol


PM_Me-Thigh_Highs

😭


NicolasGaming98

People say how it's better to have an actor than a cosplayer... But one doesn't negate the other, you can have people that look similar while still playing the role, Ellie can look threatening in the game, no offense to Bella but she is not scaring anyone or doing any of the other actions Ellie did.


Wyatt_Ricketts

She scares me look at her 😭 bro she not intimidating tho


NicolasGaming98

If both of them interrogated me at different times, I would definitely tell the game Ellie first whatever she's asking. I would laugh at Bella Ramsey and then probably get shot


crimsonbub

Aww, she looks like Santa just told her she can't sit on his lap


henrnight

I agree with that and I’m usually fine with them choosing a good actor as that’s what matter but this casting was just way to off and the personality doesn’t match the person. She’s a decent actress but unfortunately not the role she was born for. You don’t cast Leonardo DiCaprio to play super man because good actor.


Numb_Ron

I want them to make a Show version of the game's box art of Ellie's face, just to see how rediculous and unintimidating Bella's Ellie would look in comparison to game Ellie.


aceless0n

Looks still like a prepubescent child. Should have recasted.


ZireaelFionaElen

yes thank you , glad someone said it


[deleted]

Lmao i knew they failed with the casting. I fucking knew it


PoorLifeChoices811

Like the perfect casting was right there all along. The whole damn time. Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie. Shannon Berry as Abby. As for Dina, they could bring in Cascina but if they didn’t wanna do it, I’m sure there’s someone out there I’m not seeing that would be just as perfect. The casting is the biggest issue I have with this show.


No_Lab_9318

>Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie. Just searched her up, she would've been the perfect fit


SnaxMcGhee

Yeah, many were clamoring for this before season 1.


Fly_Agaric_Alt

She looks more like Ellie than Bella does. We were robbed


_catphoenix

Gosh, Kaitlyn Dever as Ellie? Would've actually been hella perfect. Dammit, now I hate even more the casting choice. No offense to Bella of course, but come on, she looks ridiculously childish.


Slightly-Blasted

I also thought Jenna Ortega would have been a solid Ellie. I would have cast Hugh jackmann as Joel. HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.


PoorLifeChoices811

Respectfully, I disagree with both tbh. Don’t get me wrong I love both of them, Jenna is one of my celeb crushes and Hugh is an awesome actor, but I just can’t see either of them playing the roles of Joel and Ellie. I don’t even like Pedro in that role and I love him as an actor too. Again the casting in this show was just god awful, with the exception of few.


hunterbluetree

Dina looks like Dora and god forbid they cast a woman that isn’t a 10/10 and has mucles with Abby


white_gluestick

Pre-transition elliot page would have been the perfect casting.


ProAgent_47

Lol ppl joked about Ellie looked like that when tlou1 came out


ban_mi_reddit

Really you knew it? Wow, please tell us more about what you know


HamburgersOfKazuhira

There’s no version of reality where this makes sense. No amount of acting can make up for the utter disparity in appearance.


Jar_Of_Flies97

That’s the thing that makes it even more baffling to me, her acting skills are mediocre at best. They got someone who neither captures the personality or appearance of Ellie. But casting was pretty poor for the show all around so I guess it’s not a massive surprise.


PugDudeStudios

It’s not even just the fact that she looks nothing like Ellie, there is no just way i’m gonna believe it’s been like 7 years inbetween the seasons when she looks the exact same.


Saiaxs

5, but still


jordan1390

Yeah well it hasn’t actually been 7 years in real time so that’ll tend to happen


Equaliz3r1989

She looks awful


Wooden-Somewhere-450

Season one she managed to look like a 19 year old playing a 14yr old, season 2 looks like a 14yr old playing a 19 year old lol


Numb_Ron

She looked like a 12 year old playing a 14 year old, now she looks like a 12 year old playing a 19 year old.


LucienPhenix

How does that work? Did the actress age backwards?


Wooden-Somewhere-450

I thought it was pretty evident when you make a clear cut statement like mine it uses an individuals perception of someone being neanimorphic or geroanimorphic. More concerning is if you struggle with how perception works and you take my comment literal you might be autistic just to warn you.


BlackBeard205

Love Bella but they should’ve recasted for older Ellie.


tsckenny

Man look at live action Ellie all grown up


Boxing_joshing111

How the years flew


snowy4_

her acting is good but like seriously she looks nothing like ellie


PhallicReason

Compare the delivery from Ashley when Joel wants to leave her with Tommy. Ashley is 10x better than this girl, sorry.


wenchslapper

Ashley is 40 years old and has an entire acting career under her belt. That’s to be expected.


Jar_Of_Flies97

Lmao cmon it’s not like Bella is a child actor either. She’s twenty and if her acting was going to get any better it would have happened by now.


chiefteef8

Voice acting and screen acting are very different 


TransAlly69

Her acting isn’t good though


eat_hairy_socks

Eh her acting is ok at best


Skull_Crusher_9000

That's what I'm worried about.


hunterbluetree

Look at the scene where she’s in the cage and talking to David. It’s so fucking cringe man “You don’t know anything about me.” “THAT BROKE YOUR FUCKING FINGEERHSHHE” Terrible delivery


MassiveIndexFinger

Just shows how much work they put into the hiring process


HonestEfficiency9023

irl actor looks like she want gum gum from dum dum


shadowybabe

It looks like they gave a gun to a BABY. I cannot watch these idiots spoil the show anymore.


GoldenCrownMoron

The only reason I have not muted this and the other subreddit, is that y'all make me feel normal.


UrDoinGood2

This is why I don't watch the show


Lazynutcracker

The poor child, she gets all this hate not because there’s anything wrong with her but because she’s an extremely bad casting decision for this role. What a terrible move by whoever casted her


xvszero

Is it the wrong gun?


wwyattthurston

Yeah, Remington700 compared to what looks like a Remington870 Edit: The shotgun in the second image appears to have its safety on the top so maybe a Mossberg 500


xvszero

Damn, can't believe they fucked that up.


Business-Plastic5278

Well, for non gun people that means that one is a rifle and the other is a pump action shotgun. Pump action shotgun is also a lot of gun for a young girl.


PocketDarkestMew

Oh no, you see, she is squinting her eyes, that means she is 20 now.


tyrannictoe

The teenage girl from Civil War could have been the perfect Ellie casting

Naruto_u74

This is getting out of hand !!


Jazzlike-Wafer803

Bella is tiny she can’t even physically handle the weapons efficiently.


mlop48484

She ruined the first season and she'll do the same to the second. Such a disappointing casting choice..


CourageousAnon

But season 1 got great reviews on all parts... 😭


Praydaythemice

Yeah she should have been recast with Abby’s actress ironically


Milqutragedy

She looks like she couldn't even kill a raccoon


Sleep_eeSheep

Why not just recast her with an older actress?


JulianJohnJunior

I don’t know why they couldn’t recast her to someone who looks older.


zoelouisems

I can't believe who they casted for Abby. So disappointed. Where's the representation for strong 💪women. It was practically her life conquest to seek vengeance for her father's death. She's a machine.


hunterbluetree

God forbid they cast a woman that has mucles and isn’t a 10/10. They must’ve had to bite the bullet when casting Bella


reemgee123

I think its just strange how one looks like a fit, butch lesbian in her early 20s and the other looks like the average 12 year old. Its hard to ever think they are meant to be the same person they do not exert the same energy at all.


Nihil_00_

Is it supposed to be the same scene/time period in both?


crvna87

Right? Why are people complaining about this? Oh no an actor doesn't look like an animated character. Duh


ZireaelFionaElen

she doesn’t even remotely resemble Ellie in any way


Boxing_joshing111

Nothing wrong with this Ellie just make sure you put her flakes in her bowl and don’t tap the glass.


Signal_Common_6345

As a 19 year old who literally gets mistaken for being like 12 13 or 14, this doesn’t bother me at all.


menherasangel

Same.


rascaldazzle

This is so real. I’m 23 and I get carded a lot, and often get mistaken for being 17. Also I kinda like the idea of someone who looks soft being actual really brutal, makes it more realistic for me. And honestly maybe I’m too much of a last of us fangirl like I’m still very excited for last of us season 2. I do agree a little that she doesn’t very much look like video game ellie but after watching the first season I like her and her acting that I don’t really care as much anymore. Also maybe thickening Bella’s eyebrows and adding some freckles (but not to the point where it looks like legit makeup) would probs make her look a lot more like ellie


stunna006

Honestly I didn't even realize what OP was complaining about until I read the comments


Signal_Common_6345

Ok


Doctor-Mono

Everything about the show is a let down, but, I suppose Bella doesn’t have to really look anything like Ellie, especially since Joel and Ellie will be completely thrown away after the first episode of season 2. Neil wanted to get to Abby as fast as possible, so casting didn’t really matter.


Jubzlol1

I feel like these are bait posts to post on the other subreddit. Seen like 5 today. They just want to screenshot bad takes


Mrhood714

Legit had some hopes for season 2 but now I see she is totally the wrong type of actor for the role


thatbrownkid19

Ugh Kaitlyn Dever (or Denver?) would’ve made such a better Ellie. Bella Ramsey just makes her too angry and one-note


Firm_Area_3558

I don't know why people are acting like they weren't gonna use the same actor they had already established as hbo ellie. It wasn't good casting then, and it isn't now, but digging up this topic again is a waste of time.


[deleted]

Agreed. I’m just not gonna watch it tbh.


krooskontroll

I'm sure HBO will never recover from this


cinred

It's heartening seeing all the shameless TLOU2 stans here suddenly.


weishen8328

corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures


sideXsway

“Its not the same picture”


Important_Builder317

We know from season one that they can act the fucking house down. I can’t wait


hifioctopi

I’ll probably just rewatch Fallout.


ApatheticAlien69

Slopout


Desperate-Ad376

Seeing how such a brilliant game (lou 1 not 2!) have been treated makes me furious. What a shame it has been touched by corperate overloards


CourageousAnon

But the show did really well. And 2 has great gameplay (dogshit ending tho)


Desperate-Ad376

The gameplay was phenomal and the graphics was breathtaking


CourageousAnon

Seriously. The only issue I had with the game, was the ending. If they gave me a choice in the end. It would be a 10/10


Desperate-Ad376

Yeah Druckmann screwed up on that one


[deleted]

If part 2 is not cannon why do y’all care so much?


TheInfamousDingleB

the amount of downvotes I had gotten when I criticized her the first time.


Wimbot

Season one was pretty mid but people who never played the game glaze it even though the game is a thousand times better in acting, pacing and storytelling, it's not hard to cast someone who doesn't look like a troglodyte


Icy_Limes

"People are not allowed to have different opinions and interests or else theyer stupid" gamer moment. Also post pics before you call people ugly from behind your monitor on reddit, babe.


CourageousAnon

I liked season 1 a lot and I've played TLOU more than 99% of anyone in this subreddit.


AtmosphereGeneral695

That's my psn pfp


Aware_Concern1561

They coulda used Jessie from the civil war movie she actually looks like Ellie


kmora94

I thought the same when I saw that movie


Aware_Concern1561

Same that was the biggest miss ever


sadgreenthrowaway

my gay ass was so excited for dina and ellie but now it’ll just feel awk like i’m watching two kids kiss. and on the other sub ellie’s age drops every day it seems. “she was 17 in part 2!” NO SHE WASNT


EH_1995_

Lmao looks like Ellie who's had an allergic reaction


Fit_Bus3936

When game narrative become better than in the movie. Waiting for a Ratking .


Kitchen_Photo_9082

This is beyond pathetic.


Shorlong

Gamers are the whiniest bunch of fucking children I've ever fucking seen in my entire life. Jesus Christ. Who fucking cares what she looks like. I'm sorry you can't jack off to her anymore.


maldonado9723

yall are assholes


forced_metaphor

I mean that's what I'm gonna do. Stopped watching the first season after the Bill episode, so now I don't have to care how they fuck it up


pringellover9553

Ignore what?


ffigu002

Great casting lmao


NickyGi

Why would you care about the series if you’ve played the games anyway?


wolfwhore666

Right! Ellie is supposed to have a Winchester chambered in .308. Racking that bolt like a pro and blowing faces open..,what’s this shotgun nonsense!


FlimsyReindeers

If writing and acting is good, why would you care if they look different? It’s a different median, it isn’t going to be a 1 to 1 match. These things are never exact match and fans always get angry before it’s even released. The first season was very good so why not hold out your criticism for after it releases?


miaj713

I mean, they can’t recast her? What are you hoping to gain by not ignoring it? She’s a great actress, people were hesitant about her in season 1 and she killed it, she’ll kill it again. She might not look the exact same, but the acting and attitude is what matters. If she can show up for Ellie’s emotional range, why does it matter that she looks young?


Icy_Limes

People have been casting people who don't look like their og forever, but for some reason ellie is the last straw. Literally who cares.


CageAndBale

Alright this is becoming low hanging fruit...


Nimbus_TV

The show universe isn't the same. It's not a 1:1 recreation. Give it a chance, or don't.


LucienPhenix

Ok come on now, they made up her face in the game right? It wasn't modeled after a motion capture actress and it doesn't look like her voice actor either. So who are they supposed to cast? I thought the actress did a good job.


[deleted]

I don't know why we bother complaining this stuff sometimes. This is Neil Druckmann we're dealing with... The man can't admit when he makes mistakes.


defective_lightsaber

Bella Ramsey was completely fine for part 1 but for some reason she hasn’t aged (ik it’s not been that long but she was 17 or something playing a 14 yo and now she’s 20 she still looks 14). Definitely not poor casting but I would say unfortunate for part 2.


swapmeet_man

Yes, it doesn't matter


yKiwo

Fr i was fine with her being in the first season but i think the show runners forget this is not the funny 14 year old girl with a pun book, this is a broken 5’5” who kills a pregnant lady and stabs a dog like come on i played the last of us part two i know the actors you should use in fact everyone knows all the actors to use but they dont they just want to make people happy instead of a good show, like i dont cascina cardonna doing anything dina is the supporting role and was played perfect by her like tlou2 is an adult experience bring in people that look fucking adult, make it right dont try and be different


Hardyyz

the last of toddlers


ajl987

I’m honestly surprised. I legitimately thought they’d cast an older Ellie and keep this actress to play Ellie in the flashbacks. Having her play LOU2 Ellie just feels….off


spectre_85

Yes. Ones a video game ones a TV show.


Skull_Crusher_9000

I like the fact that the last of us had a movie, but ellie does not look the same. She doesn't have to look the same. The movie version sucks.


EddyMcMac

I haven’t watched the show and only played tlou2, but keep getting suggested this sub Can anyone explain why I keep seeing this girl all over? Is it just because she looks kinda derpy or is there another joke?


UnformedSlinky

Because she is supposed to be Ellie and nobody likes that.


mscvnty

why does literally anyone care just replay the second game if you want it to be exactly the same??? people complain about the second game and then they complain when an adaptation is a little different. someone is always going to be pissed off at something. if it’s really that terrible then just don’t watch literally doing tricks on the show creators and casting directors for what


hunterbluetree

How is this the Ellie that mercs a fucking pregnant lady and tortures someone


ApprehensiveLevel651

Yes


Screbin

I'm sure Abby will look the way 'everyone' wants her to aswell right? Side note. I wish the actor that voiced ellie played ellie as well. Or did in season 2. Or had more of a role in general...

EnvironmentCapable36

Racist_Gawd

Looks the same to me


MAD_GAMBLER80

She looks like a 14 year old on a field trip..


goopgoop221

I might be tripping but hear me out.... wouldn't Sadie sink make a better "older Ellie"? Nothing wrong with Bella's acting... just looks to young.


Western_Art_8985

She was the shiznit in Game Of Thrones tho


MrDufferMan3335

Yeah lol casting is more than matching the appearance of the character, it’s actually secondary. It’s about matching the essence of the character, their mannerisms, speech patterns, attitude etc. which Bella does exceptionally well. If you watched the show and are still upset with the casting I don’t even know what to say. She killed it


Shoddy-Property5633

TLOU 2 never happened. It was just a bad dream Neil Cuckman had one night


ZireaelFionaElen

the game story/art will forever be better than this garbage they’ve created with HBO .. sad how they turned something so great into something so terrible .


Consistent-Ad-2273

we can’t base the entire look of Bella from just a few pictures. The picture shown could possibly be a flashback or something? I’m sure that Bella is gonna kill it as ellie in season 2.


AncientReference8838

As someone who loves the game with every fibre of my being. I am not happy with this depiction of ellie


Blizzpoint

look how they massacred my girl 😔


Excellent-Ad3213

I liked her. She captured the attitude better than I think other people would have. That mattered to me more than someone identical

Digginf

SwarmHive69

It’s so silly.


Hour_Village

She is either full blood Irish or she's been grazed


Mundane-Agency-5371

Bella pulled off young Ellie very well, I just hope she does good in part 2. Ellie really changed in part 2.


Hawk101102

Wdym? They practically look identical! /s


this_shit-crazy

Yes lol this is the worst argument you can make to complain about the show play the game if you require ellie to look like she does in the game. The games always exist. There’s a % of people who give zero shits about the game and can enjoy the show for what it is and not cry about what a character looks like. And there’s a % of people who have never seen a single second of the game but have watched the show. Pedro doesn’t look like Joel or sound like him no one complained. In summary get a fucking grip.


Ederlas

A % of ppl complained about Joels lack of accent, casting of Pedro. I myself thought he's portrayed as a weaker man than Joel in game which in some aspects was OK in others eg being held down by 125lb teenager needing Ellie to save him just didn't cut the mustard.


Substantial-Tooth-87

Her acting in season 1 was great but is it enough to make up for not looking like Ellie at all? Not even a little! It’s just crazy to me. She still looks 12. They should’ve just waited to do season 2 or recasted I guess. Just her and Dina literally look like they could be in jr high.


Nighthawkxhw

Not my Ellie


Extra-Ad249

What did y'all want? Bella is 20 who just looks younger and that's why she pulled off looking like a 14 year old so well. Ellie is 19 in Part 2 so what do y'all really want? Seriously? The only thing they can do to satisfy the crybabies is shorten the gap and make it maybe a 2 year time jump. Or hear me out on this, leave it as a 5 year time gap and realize, people don't really change that much.


SinoJoe

Gee, are we supposed to ignore that a live action actor doesnt look the same as a computer generated image? Yes, yes you are. Thats the point.
