Disappointing final episodes | TLOU

14 days ago

Hace unos días les hable un poco sobre mi opinión de The Last Of Us, les comenté que no vería más capítulos hasta que terminara ya que a mi parecer la historia iba demasiado lenta, aun asi guarde un poco de esperanza ya que las series de HBO suelen ponerse mas interesantes al final para dejar al espectador con muchas ganas de ver más, sin embargo, no fue el caso. TLOU ha sido bastante decepcionante en esta temporada y realmente no entiendo porque cambiar tantas cosas, se que es una adaptación y quizás quisieron darle un giro diferente a la historia del juego, pero literalmente estan matando su esencia poco a poco.

A few days ago, I told you a little about my opinion of The Last Of Us. I mentioned that I wouldn't watch any more episodes until it was over because, in my opinion, the story was moving too slowly. Even so, I still had some hope because HBO series tend to get more interesting towards the end, leaving viewers eager to see more. However, that wasn't the case. TLOU has been quite disappointing this season, and I really don't understand why they changed so many things. I know it's an adaptation, and maybe they wanted to give the game's story a different twist, but they are literally killing its essence little by little.

Hasta ahora me había parecido extraño no ver ningún flashback de Joel y Ellie, ya que en el juego estos flashbacks suelen aparecer muy seguido en ciertas ocasiones, en este caso quisieron cambiar la dinámica y nos entregaron todos estos flashbacks en un solo capítulo que a mi parecer no fue una buena idea, todo pasa tan rápido en esta parte que no te da tiempo de empatizar mas y no duele tanto porque Joel murió hace muchísimos capítulos atrás y gracias al comportamiento de la Ellie de la serie no sentimos como si realmente hubiese muerto, siento que su actitud le quita peso a la situación terrible que vivió.

Until now, I had found it strange not to see any flashbacks of Joel and Ellie, since in the game these flashbacks tend to appear very often on certain occasions. In this case, they wanted to change the dynamic and gave us all these flashbacks in a single episode, which in my opinion was not a good idea. Everything happens so quickly in this part that you don't have time to empathize more, and it doesn't hurt as much because Joel died many episodes ago, and thanks to Ellie's behavior in the series, we don't feel like he really died. I feel like her attitude takes away from the terrible situation she experienced.

Y me parece increíble que no sepamos que Ellie intentan representar, ya que en ocasiones la vemos ser extremadamente tonta y que parece que no sabe hacer NADA y en otras un poco más ruda, pero jamás llega al nivel de la Ellie del juego, quizás soy muy fastidiosa comparando pero es que una de las cosas que más hacían sentir TLOU II una historia oscura y mucho mas seria que la primera era la actitud de Ellie, la cual tuvo un antes y un DESPUES de Joel, los argumentos de querer hacer la historia mas realista se cae cuando vemos que los personajes se ven mas limpios que un vagabundo y tambien cuando vemos una Ellie decidida a vengar a quien consideraba su padre y luego estar perdida y dudando de su decisión, simplemente no entiendo.

And I find it incredible that we don't know what Ellie is trying to represent, since sometimes we see her being extremely silly and seemingly unable to do ANYTHING, and other times a little more tough, but she never reaches the level of Ellie in the game. Maybe I'm being too picky with my comparisons, but one of the things that made TLOU II feel like a darker and much more serious story than the first was Ellie's attitude, which had a before and after Joel. The arguments for wanting to make the story more realistic fall apart when we see that the characters look cleaner than a homeless person, and also when we see Ellie determined to avenge the man she considered her father and then lost and doubting her decision. I just don't understand..

Para el ultimo capitulo quedaba mi ultimo frasco de esperanza, si les soy sincera me dormí en una parte del comienzo, estaba realmente aburrida y para ser el ultimo capitulo no hubo casi acción y la poca acción que hubo no me gustó, sobre todo esta parte que no entendí, la toman, no la matan, Ellie se va y fin. QUE.

For the last chapter, I had my last shred of hope left. To be honest, I fell asleep partway through the beginning. I was really bored, and for the last chapter, there was almost no action, and I didn't like the little action there was, especially this part that I didn't understand: they take her, they don't kill her, Ellie leaves, and that's it. WHAT?

Ellie disparando por nervios y no por sed de venganza, meh. Esta escena no me gusto tampoco jajaja

Ellie shooting out of nervousness and not out of a thirst for revenge, meh.
I didn't like this scene either, hahaha.

Aunque sabía que Jesse moriría me sorprendió un poco que no lo dejaron ni entrar y ya lo mataron lol.

Although I knew Jesse would die, I was a little surprised that they didn't even let him in and just killed him lol.

Siento que no supieron manejar el ritmo de la serie de una manera correcta y pensar que la próxima temporada será la historia de Abby me desanima aun más, vimos la historia de Ellie y fue demasiado lenta, poca acción, historias de personajes secundarios que a mi parecer no eran tan relevantes y quitan tiempo valioso para mostrar la realidad de Ellie y como en su camino de venganza se desequilibra cada vez más, sin contar que durante varios capítulos dan vueltas a un mismo tema como si necesitamos sobre explicación de las cosas. Sinceramente esperaba mas pero ahora no estoy segura si quiero ver esa tercera temporada la cual probablemente salga en dos años, es decir, que de aquí a allá menos ganas me van a dar de verla.

I feel like they didn't know how to handle the pace of the series correctly, and thinking that the next season will be Abby's story discourages me even more. We saw Ellie's story, and it was too slow, with little action and stories about secondary characters that, in my opinion, weren't that relevant and took away valuable time from showing Ellie's reality and how she becomes increasingly unbalanced on her path to revenge. Not to mention that for several episodes they keep going over the same topic as if we need an explanation of things. Honestly, I expected more, but now I'm not sure if I want to watch the third season, which will probably come out in two years, meaning that between now and then I'll probably be less and less interested in watching it.

Para terminar quiero decir algo que percibo y es que la relación entre esta Dina y esta Ellie es rara, no siento mucha química y los momentos tan pocos serios que tienen no ayudan nada.

To conclude, I would like to mention something that I have noticed, which is that the relationship between this Dina and this Ellie is weird. I do not sense much chemistry between them, and the few serious moments they share do not contribute positively..
