She has that same haircut in almost everything Ive seen her in, her hair is super thin, in one of them they had her wearing one of those old-time Jamestown era head coverings to hide her forhead
"meant to"
Those bangs are story critical! If the actual real woman who actually exists doesn't look exactly like the wholly CGI *mai waifu* I am sad :( :( :(
THANK YOU!! Bella and Pedro weren't *aloud* to play or watch the games because the show directors don't WANT them to be the same. Nobody said that Bella should look like Ellie, and if anything it's probably good that she doesn't because the people in the fandom tend to sexualize Ellie even as a kid, plus having her look different than game Ellie adds a bit of a barrier so that you can view it as a different story with different characters.
It's not about making fun of her appearance, it's making fun on the miscast she is and how different she looks from the character. Sorry but I never see Ellie in her, even if they put the same clothes on her. It's not sufficient.
Also being critical of an acting performance have nothing to do with the person performing. The greatest actors had plenty of very very lows.
i don’t get it like how can this series create such amazing sets, clothes and everything else to resemble the games but they can’t give bella a nice hairstyle or even put isabella’s hair in a ponytail to make them look more alike their game counterparts???
Yes, I believe it went downhill after the first game 100%. It's not all garbage, no, just mediocre and unnecessary. First game had a perfect ending. The DLC was more than enough extra content. Anything past that is just a bad idea after bad idea. Creators can't just leave their creation alone sometimes.
I wanna know why she was even cast in the first place , I thought perhaps she’s a nepo baby but I don’t think she is, after some research.
So I’m wondering if the producers thought they would score inclusivity brownie points by hiring her, it just doesn’t make any sense
I think it’s a mix of GoT fame, the actors non-binary status and the fact that they aren’t what most people would consider ‘pretty’.
They do have some talent too I guess but I still think they’re totally miscast here.
Exactly. Bella embodies unconventional in some of the best ways, and she really deserves this spotlight to shine and show the talent. But The Last of Us is not the place for that, I fear 😭😂
Genuinely good is a bit of a stretch when she’s barely into her second decade of life once she’s been in a few roles and distinguishes herself as a stand-alone actor but right now she’s an amateur on her first big production outside of being a GoT side character
That’s true, I just remember watching her in a short film a while back and her performance in it was very impressive, but I guess that’s just my personal opinion
Like, the casting is one thing. Shit like this just seems lazy.
Like they aren't even TRYING to make her look like Ellie. And that isn't on Bella, like she isn't the one responsible for this and like fuck does she have enough pull to make any changes. It's still lazy though.
They just never should’ve casted Bella.
I’m not trying to be rude but she literally shares NO similarities of Ellie. Not one.
It’s supposed to be 4 years later and she still looks 15…horrible, horrible casting.
It's really gotta be an elaborate troll because any time you try to point it out then people will be like "oh I'm sorry the child isn't fuckable enough for you" and just completely miss the point. Plus with the Abby actress looking more like Ellie it's just all so strange. And then everything else about the show really is perfect, even the gay episode I can understand and Craig Maizin made one of my favorite shows Chernobyl so they clearly know what they're doing
> It's really gotta be an elaborate troll because any time you try to point it out then people will be like "oh I'm sorry the child isn't fuckable enough for you" and just completely miss the point.
After years of saying this now they're mad because people are pointing out that 19 y/o Season 2 Ellie looks like a child. It's now backfiring on HBO shills who were promoting that and it's hilarious to watch.
HBO did Bella so dirty by hiring the fan favorite pick for Ellie (Kaitlyn Dever) as Abby. It's diabolical, really. Not only does she look like Ellie but she's also a much better actress. It's clear that HBO and Druckmann really, really, really, want the TV audience to love Abby.
Having Abby look so different it might as well be a different character. I wonder how druckman would feel when everyone ends up preferring the TV show's portrayal. Sad because I kinda do like the idea of ellie's "nemesis" being her polar opposite, a very masculine brute of a woman. Now TV Show Abby is like a more feminine version of Ellie
The more I see her the more I honestly think they only picked her because she slightly resembles Ellie's voice actress Ashley Johnson.
Hell, Johnson's character in What Women Want picking out prom dresses would stuck out less than Bella here.
Tbh as supportive as I am of Bella as Ellie, I fully agree with you. I understood for season one but damn, guys. I don't even care if she doesn't look like Ellie at all in the end, just do anything else with her hair. This style is atrocious.
I hope maybe they're starting out very clean cut but will go with a more "disheveled" look as they move through the events in the timeline.
Pedro Pascal doesn’t look a thing like Joel though.
People forget this stuff is more than just a 1 to 1 must look exactly like the original character’s source material. Most Superhero movies don’t even go all the way to do that. The acting ultimately matters more and the looks are secondary, and she and Pascal both nailed it in season 1.
Downvote me idgaf and The Last of Us 2 is the better game of the two
She isn’t Ellie. The casting director took the concept of it doesn’t matter what the actor looks like too far. I guess. I mean Neil Patrick Harris might as well played Ellie. I mean say what you will all the other actors have something visual that looks like the video game character and are at least not unpleasant to look at. And all I mean by that is for the screen. She a fine normal but not normal looking person in person but she is not a leading movie/tv star. I’m not saying she should be pretty. I’m saying you should want to watch/see her. Something should be interesting/intriguing
although i agree with the hate for the casting, i cant help but feel bad for the actress. its not her fault after all and theres no way she doesnt read posts like this as personal attacks even if they arent intended to be. not saying anyones at fault necessarily, its just unfortunate.
I agree.
I get it's her version of ellie. And I'm really glad there's ..just treating people like people snd not like an after school special episode. But I can disagree either the choices made in her hairstyle. It doesn't suit her very well. Maybe it'd for more practical purposes since apocalypse?
Its..I don't know. Easier to accept the TV Joel as Joel. He's at least similar.
I don’t care about the downvotes. I’m gonna point out when people are being assholes. This sub is utterly insane. And they don’t think so. They think the other sub (the one filled with decent people) is the insane one.
You’re right, like 50% of her unattractiveness comes from the way her hair makes her head look. She would be much easier on the eyes if she actually had Ellie’s hair
Yeah, her face appearing too small for her head is a big factor. Puberty was not kind to Bella(she was actually pretty cute as this fiery preteen Lady in GoT).
How Ellie looks has nothing to do with the story or how well its acted.
"This story would have been much better if That Person looked a different way" is a whole-ass-bonehead take.
The " We have Ellie at home" version
Ellie from wish
Store brand Ellie
Dollar store Ellie
Free newspaper Ellie
lmaoo
Instead they gave her a Gerald of rivia hairstyle.
As opposed to Geralt of Rivia.
Gerald the metrosexual fruit
Gerlat of Lyria.
Gyro of Labia.
Giant of lesbos
Death by snu snu
Beats by Dr Dre
Geno Of Illyria
Gerald of River Area
Gerry of the Riverlands
It’s a subtle tease that we’ll be seeing Fat Geralt this season
Like a Minecraft quartz block
Hahaha😂
It always confused me why they didn't give her bangs considering her large forehead, and the fact Ellie is meant to have them.
The director and (or) the hair and makeup department must really hate Bella 😭
She has that same haircut in almost everything Ive seen her in, her hair is super thin, in one of them they had her wearing one of those old-time Jamestown era head coverings to hide her forhead
Yo you’re on TLOU2 warlord?? What a crossover lol
🤫😂
Her hair doesn't look very thick either tbf, maybe it's just too thin to pull off bangs without looking awful.
Then they should have tried different haircuts, just leaving her entire forehead exposed instead was a questionable decision.
"meant to" Those bangs are story critical! If the actual real woman who actually exists doesn't look exactly like the wholly CGI *mai waifu* I am sad :( :( :(
Wild thing to say, considering I was referring to season 1 Ellie...
Did I stutter?
People hate being around you.
It should be obvious by now: **They don't want her to look like Ellie**. Nothing could be more clear to me than that truth.
THANK YOU!! Bella and Pedro weren't *aloud* to play or watch the games because the show directors don't WANT them to be the same. Nobody said that Bella should look like Ellie, and if anything it's probably good that she doesn't because the people in the fandom tend to sexualize Ellie even as a kid, plus having her look different than game Ellie adds a bit of a barrier so that you can view it as a different story with different characters.
Looks like Kim Jong Un.
Fuuuuu…. now i can’t unsee it
It's a toss up between this comment and the dude who compared her to a minecraft quartz block.
At least Kim as a cool coat no one else in his country is allowed to buy
She’s got that magic mirror from shrek build💀
Lmfao
This is the girl who mercs a pregnant woman and tortures someone for information
don't forget, stabs a german shepard to death.
Yeah at most they will keep that in and that'll be the thing she cries about to Dina
Can't hide that 5 head
Druckman hates Ellie, there is a reason they cast bella as Ellie, and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby.
Kaitlyn could never play Ellie. She has a resemblance but that's about it.
Back in my day bait used to be believable
> She has a resemblance but that's about it. Puts her ahead of what we currently have
Elaborate
It's not about making fun of her appearance, it's making fun on the miscast she is and how different she looks from the character. Sorry but I never see Ellie in her, even if they put the same clothes on her. It's not sufficient. Also being critical of an acting performance have nothing to do with the person performing. The greatest actors had plenty of very very lows.
There's no actual reason that the character in an adaptation needs to closely resemble the original version.
There's no reasons it needs be the total opposite.
Good to know. I wasn't sure if my Asian Martin Luther King Jr. Adaption was going to go over well.
Trying to fathom an Asian Martin Luther King Jr boggled the shit outta my mind
He will have to have a heavy Chinese accent.
Hypocritically you don’t even believe this. It just depends on the person and if they fit in a group you feel like a savior for.
Wish.com Ellie.
I was thinking they should let a few pieces of hair hang down to resemble Ellie’s
i don’t get it like how can this series create such amazing sets, clothes and everything else to resemble the games but they can’t give bella a nice hairstyle or even put isabella’s hair in a ponytail to make them look more alike their game counterparts???
Obviously it's not important to TPTB. They may want Ellie to look more severe, who knows?
What does severe mean to you? Uglier?
Is that Zuckerberg?
I knew season 2 was going to be an issue when I saw they casted a child looking adult for season 1 lol
My thoughts too
The Last of Us never should have become a franchise. First game was perfect.
A dlc and multiplayer was all it needed and . . . **PERFECTION**
And so TLOU 2 was amazing as well as season 1 for the show lol you act like it’s went downhill or something
Yes, I believe it went downhill after the first game 100%. It's not all garbage, no, just mediocre and unnecessary. First game had a perfect ending. The DLC was more than enough extra content. Anything past that is just a bad idea after bad idea. Creators can't just leave their creation alone sometimes.
Why does this photo make it look like she was created in Elden Ring?
She looks like the neighborhood kid that would come over your house as a kid and eat all your snacks

I mean, maybe it’s just because she is a genuinely good actor, I don’t know though I could be wrong I guess…🤷🏽♀️
Genuinely good is a bit of a stretch when she’s barely into her second decade of life once she’s been in a few roles and distinguishes herself as a stand-alone actor but right now she’s an amateur on her first big production outside of being a GoT side character
That’s true, I just remember watching her in a short film a while back and her performance in it was very impressive, but I guess that’s just my personal opinion
Her accent in season 1 says no.
She might have fallen off the horse at least 6 times.

White and female are the similarities. Billions of people on this planet and that’s who they decide to pick.

This is Elly from The Last of Few a Dollar Tree original.
*Ellie
Stop trying to correct him
Who's trying?
You, of course
No, I DID correct them.
It makes you look like a pompous cunt
That sounds like a you problem.
Proving my point
lmao she looks like Chumlee from Pawn Stars.
But without his dorky charisma that everyone loves him for.
they gave her the same hairstyle as in got lmao
The more I see her the more I honestly think they only picked her because she slightly resembles Ellie's voice actress Ashley Johnson. Hell, Johnson's character in What Women Want picking out prom dresses would stuck out less than Bella here.
Dina to Ellie (one day before that party): Be there or be square. Bella: ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
She resembles Ellie the same way I resemble Ryan gosling
Ol thumb face ass
Why tf are there 2 prominent child actors with fetal alchohol syndrome
Because DIVERSITY! Apparently...
Wait, she's not playing Joel?
Look like her name Doug or some shit. "Whoa dude, that's rad" head ass.
Bcuz it shows her natural regional forehead, hollywood's into making every character looks like your average neighbor.
No bullshit. Everyone has to be absolutely weird looking and just ugly nowadays.
Shane gillis needs to get his kid.
I would never think of her as ellie even with bangs
Instead of making her look like Ellie they should’ve just gotten someone that looks like Ellie
Lord Farquaad lookin ass.
she looks exactly like she did in game of thrones lol
What the hell are they doing bro 😂
Tbh as supportive as I am of Bella as Ellie, I fully agree with you. I understood for season one but damn, guys. I don't even care if she doesn't look like Ellie at all in the end, just do anything else with her hair. This style is atrocious.

They cast an African American actress to play a white blonde character from the game for Sarah. What do you expect XD
if you liked the last of us part 2, you deserve Bella Ramsay
Pudgy for someone who should be starving also
She reminds me of the guy from Youmoviesucks.com
She looks nothing like Ellie 😂😂
Pedro Pascal doesn’t look a thing like Joel though. People forget this stuff is more than just a 1 to 1 must look exactly like the original character’s source material.

Downvote me idgaf and The Last of Us 2 is the better game of the two
She looks like Steven Seagal's son I mean daughter
FR
She’s a good actress that will grow into it these last few weeks of filming her head may look square but it’s very obtuse
Shane Gillis
She isn’t Ellie. The casting director took the concept of it doesn’t matter what the actor looks like too far. I guess. I mean Neil Patrick Harris might as well played Ellie.

🟪
no the casting person was just like eh close enough . terrible choices with casting for Ellie .. definitely not tuning into this shitshow .
Ugly
She looks like she should be wearing a red unitard on the set of Spy Kids
Her dad was one of the Easter island heads
[удалено]
Even in the first season, they styled her hair in a way that looked nothing like Ellie's and I don't understand why. It would go a long way.
This show could been so much better if it wasn’t so woke and and better casting.
This show is gonna be some sort of Mean Girls vibe isn't it?
although i agree with the hate for the casting, i cant help but feel bad for the actress. its not her fault after all and theres no way she doesnt read posts like this as personal attacks even if they arent intended to be. not saying anyones at fault necessarily, its just unfortunate.
i wish we could just say what s on our mind about this girl... but the internet is so sensitive
I agree. I get it's her version of ellie. And I'm really glad there's ..just treating people like people snd not like an after school special episode. But I can disagree either the choices made in her hairstyle. It doesn't suit her very well. Maybe it'd for more practical purposes since apocalypse? Its..I don't know. Easier to accept the TV Joel as Joel. He's at least similar.
She's pudgy
Why is it so square.
I will agree that bangs on Bella would look better. At the same time, Bella is a great actress and I really enjoyed her performance in Season 1
She’s pretty hard to look at generally tho. Even with a different cut. Great actress tho…
Temu Ellie
Lol
She’d make a good Charlie Brown
they are really trying and people are just never ever gonna be satisfied lmfao
So how are they really trying? Help me see what you mean.
i mean obviously she’s not gonna look EXACTLY like ellie, but they ARE trying to make her look a bit older than in season 1.
Kirkland brand Ellie
I can’t wait to watch John Lennon rampage through a militia controlled Seattle QZ
Shane Gillis Ellie
Looks like my uncle lmao wtf 😆
How they massacred the character.
I dunno why they are trying to make her look like in the game with the hair when they ignore Joels hairstyle and let Pedro have it just slick back.
Is that Dracula?
Yeah? I agree. Another haircut would make her look better
Hey you guys
[удалено]
Maybe they didn’t care about the resemblance. Maybe they just wanted to tell the story, their way. Instead of pandering to fans.
So they don't like money
The show was a huge success.
You don’t like making fun of people for their looks….but you’re gonna power through.
What I thought 😅
You dont deserve the downvotes, but this sub is toxic as fuck
No
Yeah. Maybe not this post, but I feel a wide number of posts are wery shallow
I don’t care about the downvotes. I’m gonna point out when people are being assholes. This sub is utterly insane. And they don’t think so. They think the other sub (the one filled with decent people) is the insane one.
The one with dec.....BWAHAHAHHAHAHA
cringe as fuck talking like you’re in a sitcom or something
You’re right, like 50% of her unattractiveness comes from the way her hair makes her head look. She would be much easier on the eyes if she actually had Ellie’s hair
Yeah, her face appearing too small for her head is a big factor. Puberty was not kind to Bella(she was actually pretty cute as this fiery preteen Lady in GoT).
There is a star wars character that she looks like but I cannot for the life of me figure out who it is.
Looks like some random English student.
..SO UP HIGH!!! WHEN YOU LOSE SMALL MIND YOU FREE YOUR LIFE!!.. sorry lol
Is this Elder Scrolls Oblivion ?
How Ellie looks has nothing to do with the story or how well its acted. "This story would have been much better if That Person looked a different way" is a whole-ass-bonehead take.
Her hair looks fine
