The actress has a advice for everyone who does not fit the occupation of the HBO series: “Play the game again!”
The first season of “The Last of Us” generally caused storms of enthusiasm. It quickly said: the best video game adaptation ever. Season two made spectators a little heavier. And despite many hymns of praise, violent criticism of Bella Ramsey poisoned the overall picture from the start.
Recommendations of the editorial team
The ex- “Game of Thrones” star plays one of the leading roles of the video game series with Ellie-but especially for the gamer scene, Ramsey seems to be an absolute misconception. Most of them complain that the mimin has no similarities with the figure and also tick differently.
The lesbian sexual orientation already shown in the game is still deepened in the series. There are also a lot of homophobic hate messages among the malicious comments about the actress.
Bella Ramsey reacts to ellie hatred
Bella Ramsey has now reacted to the criticism of her role with a kind of shrug. In a podcast interview (“The Awardist”), the 21-year-old said addressed to the fan anger: “I can’t change anything anyway. The series has already been broadcast. There is nothing that could be changed. Therefore I think that it makes no sense to read or look at anything.”
Ramsey continues: “Of course people have a right to their opinion. But that has no influence on the series, it has no influence on how the series continues or anything else. For me, two completely separate things. So no, I just don’t deal with it.”
She recommended laconically to all the people who preferred to see someone other than Ellie or wanted another staging: “Play the game again.” In the past, however, Ramsey showed through that she was troubled by the massive criticism.
For months, the gamer community has been mostly agreed that “Civil War” actress Cileee Spaeny would have been the right line-up for the tender but physically determined Ellie from “The Last of Us”. However, many video players already condemned the topic of homosexuality in “The Last of Us: Part Two”. Ramsey is open as a nonbinary person.
Meanwhile, there is further information on the continuation of the HBO series about humanity that has been brought to the edge of the apocalypse by an aggressive cordyceps mushroom. It is now clear that co-creator Neil Druckman (who also developed the video game and his development studio Naughty Dog with head) is no longer a author or director. However, he also acts as a executive producer. Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) comes to creative main responsibility.
It is still unclear whether there will only be another season or a supplementary fourth. HBO has already revealed that due to the extensive production process, a sequel was not expected before 2027.
