#unpopular opinion but joel's death was one of the best parts of the series

[laurasbailey]

Your tags in that trauma depiction post, the difference between Joel's murdering spree in tlou1 and Ellie's in tlou2, and the reactions from gamers who could accept one but not the other. Not realising essentially they have both created trauma but also failing at dealing with their own.

that's interesting bc i didn't think of them as an example!! but you're right, people were so outraged at joel dying for the consequences of his actions, meanwhile ellie is treated like a monster when really she's just a traumatized 19 year old who already lost everyone in her life before joel came along

and abby!! abby is villainized more for her body type than anything else but she's still treated like she's evil despite the amount of people joel killed to get to where he was. i swear people don't have comprehension skills of any kind when it comes to that game.

[alwaysupatnight]

Since you sent me an a bonus two, I am taking that as a greenlight to send even more! How about Kate Fuller and looking through your tags: Joel Hammond (Santa Clarita Diet) and Edward Elric (Full Metal Alchemist) 💖

omg this took forever!! lmaooo Thanks for all the characters though!! :D

Kate Fuller

Why I like them: My love!! I went into FDTD already a fan of Madie’s but Kate quickly became one my fave characters!! I love that she’s so small and cute but will absolute wreck you if you mess with her or someone she cares about!! lmfao She’s so fierce when she needs to be and doesn’t take shit from anyone, but she’s also so nurturing and forgiving and I think we all need a little of that in our lives. Absolute sunshine, not to be taken for granted.

Why I don’t: Sometimes she goes a little too far tbh. She doesn’t know when or how to say no. It’s not that I don’t like that about her, but it absolutely gets her into situations that could otherwise be avoided.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): Again season 2 episode 1!! I love how she sasses Seth in that episode. lol

Favorite season/movie: Hmm... maybe season 1.

Favorite line: “...So you’re gonna put this car into drive, and you’re gonna step on that pedal, or I’m gonna Bible-thump your ass all the way back to Kansas! NOW!” LMFAOOO

Favorite outfit: I think her black American Eagle jacket and jeans with the black boots outfit has become so attributable to her character in my mind. When I think of Kate she’s wearing either that outfit or the one she wears at the end of s1. I think those are my faves. Also Amaru’s outfit looked totally amazing on Madie!!

OTP: Sethkate obvs

Brotp: I’m gonna go with Kate and Rafa. He was too good!! I totally would ship them romantically too ngl. They were precious together!!

Head Canon: Ugh again with the head canons... lmao I kinda always believed she’d wanna study engineering of some kind if given the chance to go to back and finish school. Everyone always wants to make her a nurse or a teacher or something, and I can totally see that. But I like the idea that she’s interested in how things work. I totally wanna write a mechanic Kate au one of these days.

Unpopular opinion: idk that I have any unpopular opinions about her... She made some questionable decisions in season2, but I forgive her for making me suffer.

A wish: That she hadn’t mf DIED!! BECAUSE I SUFFERED OKAY. WORRYING FOR MONTHS THAT IT HAPPENED TO ME YET AGAIN AND THAT MY FAVE WAS DEAD. Also that she had gotten more screentime in season 3. She barely had a few minutes. It wasn’t fair. And I wish that Richie had owned up to his part in her death.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Romantic tres geckos. No thanks!!

5 words to best describe them: Too good for this world

My nickname for them: Seth’s badass beautiful young wife. That’s my tag name for her. :P Also Kate Gecko.

-

Joel Hammond

Why I like them: OMFG I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! lmao I love that he’s so dedicated to his family. And he LOVES Sheila more than anything, even though she’s become a zombie and her entire personality changes on him and eats people now, but he stays with her and never gives up on her. Even though he’s highkey stressed 100% of the time. :P

Why I don’t: I don’t think there’s anything I don’t like about him tbh??

Favorite episode (scene if movie): Ughhh idk I loved all the episodes tbh. But one of my favorite scenes was in season 3 after he and Eric do the zombie killing training and Eric says “Joel touched me” XD

Favorite season/movie: IDK. Maybe a tie between s1 and s3.

Favorite line: haha idk I can’t remember any in particular except “You’re killing it!” when he finds out Abby soaked his iron skillet in the sink :P

Favorite outfit: I don’t think I have one? I never really paid attention tbh.

OTP: Joel and Sheila!! They belong together!!

Brotp: Joel and Eric!! forever dying at those two. I love their relationship so much!!

Head Canon: I never thought about it tbh...

Unpopular opinion: Don’t have any!!

A wish: THAT THE SHOW HADN’T BEEN MF CANCELED AND WE COULD’VE GOTTEN TO SEE WHAT ZOMBIE JOEL WOULD’VE BEEN LIKE. FOREVER SCREAMING AT NETFLIX FOR CANCELING ALL MY FAVE SHOWS WTF.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: that his personality would be really different from his original one after turning into a zombie

5 words to best describe them: Best husband in the world

My nickname for them: don’t have one!!

-

Edward Elric

Why I like them: I really loved his relationship with Alphonse!! They meant everything to each other!! I haven’t seen FMA anything in a long time, or I’m sure I would remember more things I liked. :P

Why I don’t: Okay I found the Brotherhood anime Edward pretty goddamn annoying sometimes with all the screaming and cartoony reactions to things...

Favorite episode (scene if movie): idkkkkk

Favorite season/movie: I definitely preferred the 2003 anime... Brotherhood might be canon but idgaf!! I still haven’t read the manga. :P

Favorite line: “You’ve got a good, strong pair of legs, Rose. You should get up and use ‘em.” haha idk I haven’t seen either anime in so long but that one comes to mind... there’s so many different versions of it. :P

Favorite outfit: He literally always wears the same thing. lol

OTP: ehh... I mean everyone ships him with Winry but I didn’t really ship him with anyone? I know he and Winry are canon. idgaf though. I hated that she was always fucking hitting him in Brotherhood and though I did think they were really cute in the 2003 series it didn’t really go there?

Brotp: Ed and Al forever!! Their relationship is my favorite thing about the series!! omfg I cried when I watched the Shamballa movie when Al says “brother” in his sleep, stuck in the other world. T_T I know it’s not “canon” but the brothers’ relationship is developed soooooo much better in the 2003 series and movie.

Head Canon: don’t got any!!

Unpopular opinion: NGL I loved the 2003 anime soooo much more than Brotherhood because they didn’t cut every potentially emotional scene off at the knees with some comedic BS to lighten the mood. The 2003 series really gave the story and characters time it needed, and it really allowed us to get to know the brothers and grow an attachment to those characters. That series just had wayyyy better character development imo and I really grew to love Ed and Al so much because of it!! I haven’t actually read the manga still after all this time. lol I’ve been meaning to.

A wish: idk... I haven’t been in that fandom for ages...

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: I can’t think of anything...?

5 words to best describe them: haha I hate this question

My nickname for them: don’t have one :P

One of the most popular gaming franchises on the planet, the Uncharted series has been thought to be suitable for a movie adaptation for quite a long time, almost for as long as it has been around. Saying the film has had a troubled production stage would be an understatement, and it has passed through the hands of numerous directors and writers over the years. But the film has finally made it to the finish line (at least the filming has wrapped), directed by Venom and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer.

RELATED: 10 Awesome Upcoming 2021 Movies That Would Make Great Video Games

With MCU star Tom Holland in the lead as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor Sullivan, there are definitely going to be many hopeful eyes on this film. And, people familiar with the series can jump on the hype train by playing the following awesome action-adventure games.

10 Horizon Zero Dawn (2017)

The vast open-world of Horizon Zero Dawn is one of beautiful natural landscapes populated by robot animals, which is as unique and fresh a combination as it comes. Players step into the shoes of Alloy, an outcast who embarks on a journey to discover her origins and that of the world around her that was ruined by an unknown apocalyptic event long ago.

With numerous locations to explore, puzzles to solve, and secrets to uncover, few games out there will make the player feel like a true adventurist in the way HZD does.

9 Max Payne 3 (2012)

Although the movie adaptation was hardly something to brag about, the games sport a much more respectable reputation as one of the best story-driven shooters out there. The first two games would seem outdated to many by modern standards, but the third installment and the most action-fueled one is definitely still worth a recommendation even now.

Not to mention, it comes from none other than Rockstar Studios, the same developers who have brought the world hits like Red Dead Redemption and  Grand Theft Auto, so their track record with awesome single players is a solid one.

8 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (2010)

Based on the works of author Tom Clancy, Ubisoft has created one of the most successful action shooter franchises out there, spanning multiple installments under numerous titles like Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon. Like the other entries in the series, 2010's Conviction follows secret agent Sam Fisher on missions, this time investigating his daughter's death and the organization he used to work for, the Third Echelon.

In order to make the games more accessible for a wider audience, developers put more emphasis on the action rather than the hardcore stealth of the previous games.

7 Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014)

While making a film adaptation of a successful video game is difficult in its own way, making a video game based on one of the most revered literary franchises in the world was no easy business either.

Thankfully Monolith Productions were up to the challenge, and the result was a sprawling open world filled with orcs, goblins, stories about rings of power, and everything else that is bound to satisfy both existing and newer fans of the LOTR universe. With a one-of-a-kind Nemesis system and set in the titular world of J.R.R Tolkien's creation, the games follow a ranger and his path to redemption against the forces that killed his family.

6 Just Cause 3 (2015)

People love blowing up things and doing crazy stunts in video games, and no other developer is more aware of this than Avalanche Studios. Armed with a grappling hook that is capable of ridiculous and yet infinitely entertaining feats, the player is set loose in the open world free to wreak havoc (the game encourages it through the use of a chaos points system).

RELATED: Uncharted: 10 Unpopular Opinions (According To Reddit)

Similar to Uncharted, a movie adaptation of Just Cause is reportedly in the works, being written and produced by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad.

5 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019)

Although Star Wars games have met a fair amount of success in recent years when it comes to online co-op shooters, a single-player narrative was something that hadn't been done in a long time. 

Jedi: Fallen Order features platformer puzzles similar to the Uncharted series, coupled with a combat system that takes inspiration from Dark Souls and attempts to pose as much of a challenge for the player as possible. It's not the best Star Wars game, but it tries its best. Not to mention, chopping up things with a lightsaber is something everyone should try for once in their life, even if virtually.

4 The Last Of Us (2013)

Some of the best games on the PlayStation platform are cinematic adventures that balance story and gameplay just right, and no other game excels at that more than The Last of Us, from the same studio that created Uncharted. 

The second entry remains a far too polarizing one, with some labeling it disappointing while others sing praises, but the first game is universally loved. The story of Joel and Ellie and their journey of survival in a world in ruins is one for the ages.

3 Far Cry 4 (2014)

In spite of the fact that the series suffers from the classic Ubisoft problem of repetitive gameplay, the games are still a must-play for fans of the action-adventure genre. Iconic antagonists are a staple of Far Cry, and although who is the better one between Pagan Min and Vas is a discussion for a different time, they're both bound to give the player some unforgettable experiences.

The absolutely beautiful world of the Himalayas still holds up today thanks to the graphical prowess of the Dunia engine too.

2 The Rebooted Tomb Raider Series (2013-2018)

Lara Croft and Nathan Drake walk similar lines as two of the most famous adventurists in video game history, although the former is years older than the latter and consequently has a richer saga.

While the previous games in the series will always be classics, the reboot series has undeniably helped the franchise maintain its prominence in modern times. The name of Lara Croft is no stranger in the world of cinema either, as a handful of successful movies have already been made starring the character.

1 The Uncharted Series (2007-2016)

Obviously, the best games to play in anticipation of the Uncharted movie are the ones that the film is based upon. Developer Naughty Dog's action-adventure series has established itself as not only one of the landmark titles on the PlayStation console, but one of the most popular action-adventure games in the world.

Exactly what parts of the video game world that people have come to love over the years will be carried over to the film remains to be seen, but hopefully it will be a worthy experience for both long-time fans and first-timers alike.
