Ellen Page claims Naughty Dog “ripped off” her likeness

You don't see Nathan Fillon getting all hot and bothered about Nathan Drake.

Like I said, if she wasn't starring in her own game in the same time frame, she shouldn't be mad. But it makes a world of difference when Naughty Dog is bumping dicks with her work. Ellen Page has every right to be upset when her work is potentially compromised.

I respectfully disagree.  Ellie looking like Ellen Page won't make me less likely to buy Beyond: Two Souls.  Ellie looking like Ellen Page makes me go "oh yeah, I remember her...that chick from Juno.  Isn't she ironically in a game coming up?"  As far as I'm concerned, it's a publicity bump for her, and Beyond if she just lets it happen.  When people started clamoring for Fillon to play Nathan Drake in a potential movie, I looked him up and checked out Firefly...I may not have done that otherwise.

 

hmmm, I think my point is being overlooked. Let me try this again. 

More than anything, the timing of The Last Of Us and the character Ellie appearing so close to a game where Ellen Page is acting as her own flesh in blood is just flat out wrong, even if it was pure coincidence. 

So I understand why she can be upset when she put so much work in a game just to have another game unintentionally steal some of her thunder. We are human after all.
