Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 When Ellie was playing Mortal kombat in the last episode, her MK character Baraka’s finishing move chopped the opponent into little pieces. Her opponent that Riley was using had a finishing move where she ate the person and spit out their bones. Neat little potential foreshadowing of this episode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat little potential foreshadowing of this episode There is no Baraka finishing move that chops people into pieces. His finishing moves in MK2 either stab you in the chest or chop your head off. Ask me how I know. Edited March 6, 2023 by purbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I misremembered it being a fatality and that you ended up in pieces. as I said, I only saw the fatalities a handful of times because I never learned them Edited March 6, 2023 by Momma There Goes That Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "cutting into little pieces" or anything. Basically, saying that foreshadows anything is a stretch IMO.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I kinda like it more now actually since we don’t see what she does to David but can tell she stabs/cuts him repeatedly. I think it fits enough to not be stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it fits enough to not be stretch If you look at the comparison video I posted earlier, that scene is virtually identical to the way it's depicted in the game. I'll agree to disagree with you about Baraka's move foreshadowing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 So do we feel good about them effectively wrapping up the first game in the single remaining 43min episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wish the season was like 12 episodes. I feel both of the "side story" episodes (3 and 7), in the grand scheme of things, were too long. They were both good episodes on their own. Both of those stories could have been explained in half the time on those episodes which means we'd have at least 1 more episode to explore more with Joel and Ellie. Those 2 episodes are definitely bottom tier for me in the whole scheme of the season. I think they will wrap it up decently though just because of how great the show has done thus far.

That’s what makes it inadvertent. 😂 You asking for another episode with to explore Joel and Ellie suggests/implies there isn’t another one. As someone who knows nothing…. But even less so of this video game… I have no reason to believe that next season won’t kick off resuming Joel and Ellie’s journey towards the Fireflies. Im not upset though… I love spoilers. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I bet that at the end of this season and the beginning of next season, there's going to be a zombie outbreak and then people are going to get guns and shoot each other and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the season has moved quickly and I wouldn’t mind a slower episode of them just on the road somewhere talking or something before they get to their mutual understanding and feeling toward one another that we see by the end of episode 8. You can’t go back and retell that story in the future so seeing more of their journey to this point is what I want and I think he is also saying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they will focus on this scene and maybe make Joel be especially cruel to the surgeon since it will be so important in season 2. -Killing Marlene last -quick truck scene where Joel lies -arrive back to Tommy’s and Ellie is suspicious -Joel lies again -“Ok” the game moves pretty quickly through the end and there might be 5 minutes from the time he encounters Marlene at the bottom of the elevator to the end of the game. That leaves like 35 minutes for the rest which I think works since they have toned down the gameplay and killing so much. Joel will probably only kill a few guards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler "we'd have at least 1 more episode to explore more with Joel and Ellie." Since there's a season 2, we'll have a ton more episodes to explore more with Joel and Ellie. One extra episode spent on back story won't matter. But if Joel or Ellie aren't gonna survive for much longer...then the episodes dedicated to them are winding down. Which, if that were the case, would be a spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have 9 episodes to do everything, and 2 of them were basically about stuff not in the game story. And I'm saying I wish we had more time to explore the stuff in the game.

I read that Joel and Ellie are in pt 2 of the game…and there’s no reason why there can’t be some flashbacks in season 2 that help give some additional story showing what they went through together.

purbeast Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) @Califan007 The Constipated I am not going to quote you because of potential spoilers about the second game, but if you read about part 2 of the game, then now I'm even more confused as to what you think I could have even spoiled but now you are the one spoiling stuff lol. Now that I am watching some reviews and reading about episode 8, they missed out on quite a bit of stuff that I totally forgot about the game (since it's been a decade since I played it) that would have made the episode better as well and explained a bit more. But, apparently they felt they needed to rush this show to finish in 9 episodes and left it out. Edited March 7, 2023 by purbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have played it on the easiest difficulty and rushed through it and/or skipped over all of the cut scenes. 10 hours is significantly lower than what the general consensus of the length is. https://howlongtobeat.com/game/9997 Edited March 7, 2023 by purbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
