Is Ellie from “The last of us: Part ii” on steroids??

Looks like a very fit women to me. If you really want to see a woman on steroids, check out Brooke ence. She says she doesn't take steroids, but... Look at her. A guy couldn't have that body without steroids, let alone a woman. Hell, 90% of guys on steroids dont have that tank of a body

It seems to me that you haven’t seen Tesseract Tesseract then?
 
Edit: First the ''Control'' lady with Greek god like chiseled jaws and now this. Why are devs hell bent on making female protags so manly?

There are women that seem manly, though I would say the amount is limited and they usually seem rather manly in their teens as well.

Now in regards to Ellie. I wouldn't say she's looking really manly honestly, sure, she's got some muscle, but it's nowhere near unreasonable amounts for a woman doing a lot of physical labor. Meaning it's not odd. More so, she's a tomboy, living in a post-apocalyptic society out in the woods, meaning that her dressing as she does makes sense as well. I don't really see the complaint here, at least not yet.

Steroids? Seriously?

She has the physique of a young woman who is in good physical shape. In other words, she looks natty. She isn't even particularly lean either, just visibly toned.
that other lady in earlier trailer was much more ripped

Agreed.

LOLing hard at this "She's way too dude" crowd. That's what happens when you don't sit all day playing videogames and on online forums.
I wish ND shows Ellie's boobs now so these freaks can STFU.
There's a lot of strong/real woman out there, you know? Their body hair grows too.
The same way there're a lot of slim and not muscular looking men with woman attributes.
I always get surprised Pikachu and I see these arguments, how can people be so short sighted.

I do find the complaint odd though. Like, how do the fungus properties in TLoU compare to real life fungus?
There are hundreds of different cordyceps fungi, and what's really fascinating is that they each target only a particular species. Of insects, so they don't (yet!) take over lifeforms with high cognitive abilities. But they're able to direct the behavior of the insects for the short while they remain alive while infected. Usually they make an ant or such climb to a high position, then bite firmly into a leaf to hold it in place. Then a fungus will grow out of the insect, spreading a ton of spores onto unsuspecting victims below. It's quite metal really.

Right, I'm aware. So we should be complaining that TLoU should be about a bunch of ants or snails standing really high on top of leaves, attracting unwanted birds and ruining Joel's garden.

I’m trying to allow for the possibility of being physically pushed to survive every day in a world like that, that it might actually be a good thing that she looks like she can play the part she’s going to.

There’s a complaint about 90 pound girls throwing men around unrealistically, so it’s somewhat interesting to see this addressed.

But, it just makes me feel uncomfortable. There’s weird gender stuff going on in pop culture in general right now, courtesy of the usual suspects, and this just seems a further extension of that.

This is a more what I’d expect from a heroine in peak condition, forced to survive. Not turning into a hulking man.
2 different type of enemies to fight.

sarah fight against something where muscles are useless, only gun works.

ellie fights against humans and infected with melee weapon half of the time, she needs some power in his muscles to do serious damage against big men and mutated creatures.

She should have severe orthopedic problems (malnourishment, diarrhea, diseases, no comfortable bed to sleep on, wounds and bruises from walking barefoot, climbing etc), plus rotten teeth.

World apocalypse sent the world back to the middle ages and most kids and adults who did manual labour back then had deformed bodies

Have you ever seen a woman on Steroids? I guess not.

Most „Men“ these days are more flannel or pussies then „Men“

No, she just has high testosterone, and more so than a Ree member. And the director wants to shove 'strong women' narrative in games, with masculine features. Just like Hollywood, and the music industry etc. Women don't need a man right guys?

Her muscle tone doesn't mean squat to me. Continuing the story from the first is all I really care about as long as the mechanics are similar or better. I'm actually really excited about PS+ next month too. Having long since traded in the disc, I'm looking forward to a refresher and maybe trying the multiplayer this time. Anyone know if people still play it?

Looks pretty realistic for someone who spent whole life fighting and running,
workout alone can't lead to that kind of body, the diet is just as if not more important which in the dire setting seen in TLOU1 doesn't seem to be luxurious enough to sustain such. however the new trailer seem to show the characters living in a more developed area so who knows.
 
Steroids or not I'm more interested in where the hell she's getting the calories to maintain that from. Isn't t supposed to be a post apocalyptic world?Is she like eating dead clickers or something?

I guess the gym, steroids, nutrient-rich foods and clicker protein shakes of the post apocalyptic future are reserved for the lesbians.

If she's willing to do patrols as we saw then she'd get the best stuff, that'd be how a real post-apocalyptic settlement would be handled, all the best for the people who are brave enough to venture beyond.

I agree, and also add that just surviving in that world would probably keep people more physically active than the modern human of today.

Disappointed she’s not wearing a pink lace g-string.

Not really.
There's a middle ground between sexual object of desire and hulking mountain. The VAST majority of women fall somewhere between the two, if ND are going for realism why not have a realistic female body type?

Will say that Ellie looks perfectly fine in every other shot, has a totally normal body. It's actually strange how her shirtless body looks totally different to physique when he has clothes on. If anything clothes should make you look beefier, not less beefy.

She's like a third of Joel's size so she probably needs less calories to maintain that than Joel needs to sit on his butt

Just gotta suspend the disbelief guys. A 150 lbs (tops), 5'7 lesbian killing hundreds of men twice her size. If anybody can sell that koolaid its NDog. They had 5 years to create the perfect mary sue.

Looks fucking awesome. How the hell else is she going to stove an enemy's face in with an iron pipe? Definitely feasible in my mind, and I'm a bit jelly at the rear delts :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Drive by a gym and youre going to find some physically fit woman.

She's also not that big.

I've seen women who workout everyday and they have a more toned body.

"But how cam she get enough calories!?"

There's literally a meat shop in the trailer. They have enough fod for the entire community.

Same thing can be said about Joel in TLOU 1. He should've bern skinny because he didn't have enough calories.


Even Bill was chubby.

" ND really trying to push the stong woman narrative."

Sure, make her 85lbs trying to take out physically fit man.

Having her with some muscles makes it a bit more believable.

I mean, that stuff sells better when you're the one controlling her. Watching Angelina Jolie and Milla Jovovich do cartwheels in a movie there's a bigger disconnect, plus they have emphasized what a struggle the fighting will be in the trailers, meaning they aren't afraid to acknowledge the size difference.

she won't be hitting the gym 3h/d every day
surviving won't get you anywhere near that ripped
