My take on the whole casting situation.
With all this talk around the first episode of the second season I just wanted to share my point of view with you guys. So the first season I found amazing. I think Bella did a great job embodying Ellie's character and okay I get it she doesn't look like her but who cares? Her acting was great and that's what matters looks should come in second. All those jokes and memes and making fun of an actress just trying to do her job are childish and totally uncalled-for. Half the people making this kind of comments are people who are annoyed not because of the missing resemblance but because she isn't considered conventionally attractive. Now for the second season I too am annoyed by the fact that both her and Dina look like 15 year olds but what was worse was the writing pointing that out. The whole scene where she and Dina entered the infected building is so badly written and off. Not only do they look like they are underaged they also act like it. maybe they should have changed the actress for the second season but just image someone who looks the wright age making those stabbing faces, two times worse. My point is it ain't only the actress it's mostly the script and directing.
