She is really like a real life version of Ellie look wise and has the acting chops to easily pull off the role. She was the fan favorite before the cast was revealed. Bella is a nice actress but the look is honestly off.

I thought Ellie looked like Elliot Page in, what's the accepted nomenclature, pre changes days.

When she was younger sure but not today. I also think they changed Ellie's face because of that.

Looks aren't that important when the performance is good.

She has the look and is also a good actress. She would have covered both things.

Bella Ramsey is slowly growing on me.. It was weird at first because she looks nothing like Ellie... but neither does pedro pascal as joel

She is doing a good job, certainly.

Dever is a good actress, but she's 27 and clearly looks like a woman in her 20's. Ellie is supposed to be a kid at this point in the story.

Ramsey is 20, but she looks young as hell.

Right show. Wrong actor I guess?
