I remember Critical Drinker praised this episode as not doing it for political reasons. I’m a fan of Drinker but this opinion surprised me because the showrunner literally said it was done to “make people mad” or something like that. I didn’t play the game much but I’m told that them being gay is only hinted at in the game. I was gonna play the game but then I heard the dlc forces you to be in a lesbian relationship and I hit the point a while back where I’m tired of lgbt content. Not saying it shouldn’t exist but I’m personally not interested. I do find it ridiculous how they expand on stuff that is just hinted at. The wheel of time showrunner said the same thing about lgbt characters, yet the books specically describes the main characters but he ignores that ad well as the fact Perrin has no wife on the beginning
Not only was their gayness only implied in the game, it was not portrayed as this beautiful romance the HBO show made it out to be. The big thing about Bill's character in the game was that he was such a tremendous asshole and paranoiac that even his boyfriend decided he would rather die alone than put up with Bill's shit for one more day. He even wrote a suicide note telling Bill how much he hated him. I wouldn't have been surprised if Bill was honestly an abuser; guys like him never make pleasant company. But of course, you can't have a negative or nuanced portrayal of a non-straight character anymore.
Holy shit. That sounds completely different, tonally, from the show.
Yea it's why I find the whole thing to be bullshit and on that I'm with Az (HeelvsBabyface) as he also disliked the whole episode.
It jarred so tonally with the rest of the show. Some damn Gay Utopia where Frank was able to live out his Gay playing house shit. All damn peace and garbage. Which they ADMIT to making for the awards season.
Showing that nobody is immune to the turmoil of the Apocalypse would have been way better.
I don't like that Az is a giant man baby but he's usually spot on with analysis
