[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so glad Pedro Pascal came back!  But episode six was so boring. Besides his great acting chops. Bella Ramsey is such an awkward, affected actor. I'm done with this show[/quote]

"awkward, affected" describes a teen, which the character is, so maybe you're just done teens?

I'm done with the Bella hate from a bunch of alleged adults. Y'all suck as people. [/quote]

[b]DP.  The character of Ellie as played by Bella Ramsey is awful.  And we're allowed to say as much.[/b][/quote]

PP that played the game and hasn't posted too recently.  I think the above is the problem with so much of the animosity/hate towards Bella Ramsey.  It's not the character of Ellie as played by Bella Ramsey.  It's the character of Ellie as written/directed by Mazin, Druckman, etc. The hate has been unfairly misdirected at Ramsey.

I much prefer Ellie in the game, but I also recognize the limitations that character would have in a TV show. A terminator type of girl/young woman that is all steel and racks up dozens of kills wouldn't play well to a mass audience. I also know that my issues with the character are rooted in a general disdain for TV/movie teenagers that are over-the-top plucky and immature.  However, teenagers and young adults in real life are immature, perceive themselves as being invincible, and are very annoying.  TV Ellie is consistent in that and that was a decision that rests with the creators, and not her.  When given the opportunity to portray other characteristics she's done well. [/quote]
