Like her face, it's like a cross between inbred and down syndrome. At least they got Ellie's mannerism right though, she's perfect for that part. Looks like she is also returning in S2 and not being replaced.
Why would she be replaced? She's pretty good in the role.
To me she looks definitely different. She reminds me of people from the back country in Kentucky. A lot of them have very large prominent foreheads. I was pondering that maybe they chose a girl that had minimal sex appeal so as to make some of the more intimate scenes look more parental and not romantic.
Also, her previous character on Game Of Thrones was completely devoid of any sexual characteristic.
Because in some of the later scenes in the finale Joel's possessiveness and dominance of Ellie, lying to her, and deciding her fate, was almost on the borderline of an abusive boyfriend
Bah, clickbait titles I guess. There is a 5 year time jump between S1 and S2. Seeing how she's 19 but played a 14 yo, I guess it just fits for better or worse.
Probably have to do with his parental instincts due to the first incident at the beginning. Technically she's suppose to be a lesbo so I dunno what they'll do with her in S2.
The first time I saw her, I thought, "She looks just like Ashley Johnson!" Then I found out Ashley Johnson voices the character in the game. Interesting!!!
When I see her in the game she reminded me of Ellen Page, before the transition. I guess if you were looking at her backside or a 45+ degree angle she could look like Ashley, no way she looks like her anywhere else though.
She reminds me of a northerner ruler that lives on a forested island, with snowy mountains and rocky shores. The island also has plenty of bears, but is also home to a prominent noble house. This island would be in between the icy coastline of the far north and a warmer continent to the south.
