Kaitlyn Dever on playing Abby in HBO's Last of Us "It's hard not to see those things (backlash) on the internet"

Again, she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe. I think it's hilarious that you would use a review bombed episode as evidence that you're right.
Is your only measure of her performance the fact that she was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe? Let’s be real—those are just participation trophies. If her portrayal was truly exceptional, why didn’t her fans step in to counteract the review bombing? Nominations don’t reflect the broader audience’s sentiment or the impact of a performance.

It's funny that you think normal people try to counteract review bombing.

As for nominations not reflecting the broader audience sentiment, the fact that the show was a rousing success and has high marks across the season with the exception of two episodes really that were review bombed tells us everything we need to know about how people perceive her performance, which is that there is a consensus that she was fantastic.

She was also nominated for a people's choice award.

And no, these are not participation trophies.

Has this ever happened? Not a rhetorical question. I'm actually curious!

I lost all interest in the show because of the casting.

Yeah I can't take a show about The Last of Us seriously when this is the cast for one of the main characters. And listen I am against bullying anyone for their physique and I think Bella is proabbly a great actress for other types of roles but this was not the right person to be Ellie
