Los Angeles, California: HBO’s “The Last Of Us” has amassed millions of views since the show’s January premiere but has also come under fire for casting Bella Ramsey as the primary character. Many of the objections gamers have made about the HBO rendition of the popular video game are directed at the young actress. Ramsey has finally addressed the severe criticism in her customary straightforward manner.
Bella Ramsey co-stars with Pedro Pascal as Ellie, one of the main characters in “The Last of Us.” Lyanna Mormont, a character from “Game of Thrones” was also portrayed by the young and gifted actor.
I wish I could claim that I felt confident.
Because some people thought Ramsey did not resemble Ellie, the young actor received a barrage of slander and abuse. Some thought she wasn’t “pretty enough” or “too ugly.”
Other complaints about Ramsey’s casting included that she wasn’t “rough” enough to represent Ellie. Many have commented that Bella Ramsey lacks the physical and acting skills necessary to portray the character’s strength and independence successfully.
In an interview with GQ, Bella said, “I wish I could say that I was secure enough [already] that it hasn’t influenced me in any way, but it has. Despite the harassment, she stated that she was happy with her work on the post-apocalyptic series. “I’m simply pleased that I was able to accomplish that for them, the program, and Ellie. She said, “I want to treat her well.
Toxic gamers
Fans of the toxic video game have complained about how she doesn’t resemble the fictional character ever since her casting was made public, but it shouldn’t matter. Ramsey continues, “This is the first time I’ve ever reacted negatively to something.” She attributes her unhealthy habit of reading online reviews of herself to this.
But after a protracted casting procedure, Ramsey was selected by the show’s writers, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin as the best candidate for the part. Future episodes of the HBO adaptation will have more scenes of Ramsey and Pascal together, and fans can’t wait. The show’s early popularity and the positive feedback on her performance will be helpful.
According to a statement issued by HBO when it renewed the show for Season 2, the first episode drew more than 22 million viewers in on-demand formats, which is five times the audience for linear broadcast.
