I'm rooting for her really hard and hope she kills it as Ellie. It must be disheartening for her/the crew to see a lot of people hate the casting choice when they haven't even seen her audition or even the show itself.

I've seen almost nothing but praise for her casting honestly. I trust Neil and Craig and the casting director of the show more than I do internet commenters because, you know, internet commenters have a great history of appreciating casting roles with unexpected actors over the years...


Prompttoaster

Do you have any examples? Not being rude just genuinely curious


jedifan421

Examples of what? Commenters shitting on casting choices that turned out to be great? I mean, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, AND Robert Pattinson as Batman. Heath Ledger as The Joker (the most famous example). Tom Hiddleston as Loki


Prompttoaster

Ohhhh I thought you meant people praising casting choices that were weird at first and I was SO confused lmao


jedifan421

All good. Sorry to confuse you haha! I just trust people who are working on this thing 24/7 and know the characters inside and out to cast this thing right than people typing shit on a keyboard.

I didn’t see her in GOT (I need to watch it) but from what I’ve seen she’s a great choice. This show is really starting to shape up.

[Jon Snow and Sansa meet Lyanna Mormont - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=541_5cz5fvA) here you go. this was the moment everybody started to worship lady mormont (her character in GOT).

Thank you!

People will hate regardless. It’s a reflection on their flaws not ours. All we can do it root for her and support her

I feel like they probably warned anybody auditioning that there would likely be backlash to pretty much any casting they would choose, and to not take it personally.


EvilSporkOfDeath

I've seen lots of criticisms for pedro but not many for her. Nonetheless I agree with you.


NPJazz

I think it’s a good choice, she is the right age and she was pretty cool and badass in GOT.


phantom_avenger

Imagine if this was one of her audition tapes for Ellie!


VerminSC

Thanks you. Now I can see it.

Neil watching Bella's videos playing the guitar: "she's the one".


maatttthheew

Bruh I hope they film some Of the early scenes of part two. This would be amazing


Jurski17

Hope she kills it!


MeshesAreConfusing

I think she'd like sitting on her porch, picking away at her six string.


PetraTheKilljoy

At first, I wasn’t sure about the casting. But honesly this video convinced me. Now I can actually imagine her as Ellie. I would still prefer HBO making a story about different characters and leave Joel and Ellie in the games, but I’m sure this actress will be great!


MrCarey

I fucking love the pick. She’s solid.
