i found your twin...

heres your animal look alike, no exception

Im confused as to what you are saying. Correct me if I am wrong, but its sounds like you also admit that they used Ellen to draw off of. I thought you were trying to defend ND? 

it does look like her, but I don't know why she'd get upset, specailly since she's starring in another Sony exclusive, also why what til now? we've all known what Ellie looked like for over a year..maybe this is just some weird PR play to give Last of Us more attention

Seriously she doesn't even look so specific, like if I were in her shoes and it was my image then it would be a skinny curly headed person. Plenty of people like that lol

I'm not trying to defend Naughty Dog.  I've said that like 10 times.  What I'm saying is yes, they probably drew off of Ellen Page's likeness, but who cares?  The appeal of Ellie isn't that she looks like Ellen Page, it's that Ellen Page and Ellie both look like innocent, easy to relate to, accessible, and ordinary everyday people you decide to care about.

I would bet that The Last of Us has not sold 1 extra copy because someone thought Ellie was Ellen Page, and Beyond: Two Souls will not sell 1 copy less because someone thought Ellen Page was in The Last of Us too.  It's a non issue.  Not a big deal.

All art has inspiration in something else.  Every video game character will always look like someone else, and that person may have been the inspiration for the character.  Someone else in this thread mentioned that the only reason people are bringing it up is the timing of Beyond: Two Souls coming out this year.

If this is an issue, then Borderlands ripped off Mad Max and The Hunger Games ripped off The Running Man and it's a slippery slope from there.

PS - Nice avatar...glad Futurama is back, if only for a little while longer.

1. Starring in her own game means she gets money from that game.  She gets zero dollars from Last of Us.  Why should Last of Us get money off of her image, when she is getting none?  Now I'm not saying Last of Us is so great because a character looks like someone, but for an actor or actress where their Look is a major part of them, then I doubt its something they take lightly to being ripped of.  

2. PR stunt?  She didn't bring it up, someone asked her about it.  She said she was flattered, but seeing how she has her own game she did not appreciate it.

I just don't understand defenders of ND being so strong.   

1. She didn't bring it up

2. She responded very respectfully

3. She has her own game, and receives zero money from Last of Us.  Doesn't matter if both are Sony games.  

4. Everyone and their mother knows damn well it looks like Ellen Page.  It was brought to the huge limelight over a year ago.  ND even slightly changed the characters appearance to make it not soo damn blatantly obvious.  And when I say "slightly" I mean slightly.  It's like they took an Ellen Page avatar in a character creation screen and then moved one bar for example the nose from 24 to 32.  Then said, "there, the character is now Unique"

wtf is the matter with people? "use her likeness without her permission"? so basically if an model does have similarities with a famous person they should go ask "permission" to use her "likeness?" yeah naughty dog should have went and kissed ellen pages ass because ellie's name and hair is like ellen page. WTF?!

here is a question, so ellie looks familiar to ellen page, SO THE FUCK WHAT?!

I'm going to find everything that contains anything that looks like me and demand money from them.  Thanks for the idea.

fuck that shit. anything that has 2 eyes, 1 nose and a mouth i will sue till the end of days. how dare people have similarities. you either fucking ask my permission or pay big time!
