I'm over ragging on the what's her name chick in the show, but SPOILER ALERT, they're really gonna do this show without the main character who is one of two characters it's easy to follow if you're only watching episodes once and kind of the only likable character on the show?

Ellie is supposed to be convincing enough to be the main character of the story for this specific season + next. She isn't imposing, in any way, so yes this completely does not work.
To be fair I thought Pedro Pascal was a terrible choice for Joel. He looks like a foreigner no matter how hard he tries which does not fit the game/story at all.
I was tempted to pick up the game just to see how the story is meant to be told but I'm over hours of cutscenes. That's not entertaining for me, so I picked up the new Indiana Jones game instead.

The other thing that irritates me, especially right now, is how people act like this is the deepest, most sophisticated, mind blowing character drama set in a post apocalyptic setting ever. Unless I'm missing something there's nothing unique or amazing here.
Anyone seen The Road. Or hell, even the 28 years later trailer?

Take it to the Tug.
There’s a semi hot middle aged redhead with a great rack.

Strong resemblance here

Not the last movie I watched but I’m currently reading The Godfather for the first time.
A couple things stand out:
the first 100 pages match the movie very well
Luca Brasi is basically described as John Wick. Until they receive they receive the fish, Sonny and Tom Hagen are scared that Luca turned on the family
Paulie, Don Corleone’s regular driver, is much more complicit in the book than as described in the movie

Someone has finally created the content I want - people reviewing books of movies they haven't finished reading yet. It's a reminder to me that Hollywood has never really been about "original ideas." A lot of what people thought were original idea franchises were just based on books and short stories.

It's a good point. It's really just a good execution of something we have seen a lot. That's really it. Is it really better than the first season or two of The Walking Dead, but with fewer characters.
I think the bar has gotten really lowered for what gets raved about in TV and movies now.

I think that the main thing this IP has going for it is that Gen Z grew up with it and got attached to all these "non-traditional" characters.
I've actually gotten more enjoyment out of Hacks so far. At least that show can be funny once or twice an episode even if it's plagued by most of the same Max problems.

Once you hit like the youngest millennial you start to get people who grew up when almost everything was already not that good, frequently at best at least mega derivative of older stuff, and too much CGI and comic book nonsense and their ruler for what's good or great is all fucked up. My young millennial girlfriend/beard will talk about Avengers Infinity whatever like it's the best movie ever made to compare things against.
