Last with American

Do not go to the museum and do not hang on the porch if you did not look “price”, the penultimate episode of the 2nd “last of us”. Main spoilers lie forward.

In the “Price”, the second-episode of the second year of the “last of us” season, we see a familiar face: Joel Miller, the main character of the series played by Pedro Pascal. If you consider the fact that Joel dies incredible The brutal death in episode 2 “via valleys”, Thanks to the vengeful Abbie Anderson Keitlin Dever, it may seem scary … But the episode is told in a retrospect that he is chronicing the highs and minimum relationships by Joel with his surrogate daughter Eli (Bella Ramsey). In an interview with Neil Printman, which created a video game 2013 “The Last of Us” for Naughty Dog and its continuation of 2020 “Last of us, II part” – and shares Showrunner duties with Craig Masin and Director “Price” – Printman spoke with how they changed the structure of the game, which sporadically sends its retrospectives. Instead we get all The content of the invisible Joel and Eli in the “price”. As the print said Hollywood reporterIt was a necessary part of the adaptation and he also He did not want the audience to get used to Joel’s presence again.

“Yes, let me talk to you about our thinking process,” said Przakman after the interviewer James Hibberd, asked about similarities and differences between video games and HBO adaptation. “You are right that these scenes are placed in the game, sometimes hours apart. If we placed these scenes and put them throughout the season, I believe that they do not land so much because they are short and work better when they are near and you can see a comparison – it’s the way they will slow.

Continuing his opinion, Neil Printman said that he and the Craig Mazin needed the presence of Joel so that he was not very grabbed on the “last of us” that makes sense; His death is shocking and mental in both games and show. “It was important that the audience, as a hero, Miss Joel,” the print continued. “So we will kill him at the beginning of the season, we decided not to show it back to the end of the season. Then it became a matter of where it should land. It is given to land after Eli just committed the darkest, the most violent deeds that she did in her life, A look like it came. “They are almost unrecognizable in this stage.

“The darkest, most violent deed” Eli “ It happens in the previous episode, “feel your love” when she tortured one of the cohort of Abby, Nara (Tattz Gabriel), for the sake of Abby. Despite the fact that the nobility is infected with disputes and is going to become a zombie, tireless, revenge of Eli, beats a woman pipe for information. This moment is even It is harder to tolerate, like the death of Joel, after you look at the price. Yes, as long as the episode ends, we completely caught up with the massive gap between Joel and Eli, completing their conversation on the porch of Joel (in detail at a second) shortly before Joel’s death. Formerly This, however, we see a few days of birth, which Eli and Joel celebrated some of their most lovely moments, such as when Joel takes Eli to an abandoned air and space space or when he soothes her after she burns her hand (the one that bite her like an immun). As for this porch, it is probably the last moment, which we will see between Joel and Eli, and watch it played in the series, amazingly emotionally, thanks to the small role of Bella Ramsey and the disobedient performances of Pedro Pascal.

Elsewhere in the interview of Thr James Hibberg focuses on the stage of the porch between Joel and Eli and asks why Neil Printman and Craig Mazzin did not keep this deeply important moment for the final of the 2 season. Printman said he was not The temptation to do so. “No, but let’s assume that we could shoot it and spend it and open it later,” he reasoned. “Craig brought it to me, and I immediately acquired this: he (drew attention) that when you buy the game, you have the whole story. You can play for two days. We must consider that history performs in a week, season for the season, and more stories that come in.

After Hibberg noted that some on the Internet criticism noted that Abby not only took away Eli’s figure, but also Eli’s opportunity to forgive Joel – Specifically, for salvation of her life at the end of 1 season and potentially preventing medicines from the Cardisov virus – Printman was aboard. “I agree with this interpretation because we see that Joel Hart Eli is perhaps the worst way is to select the choice from her to honor the people who died in her path to deliver to light,” Przakman said. “Eli is so angry, and she means that when she says, ‘I don’t know if I can, if she would like to try it, but she wanted to move for this forgiveness because I realized she realized that – as much as Joel hurt her – his motivation was unconditional, and she shares this unconditional love for him.

Ultimately, the porch scene provides some Closing. Joel with tears tells Eli that a thousand times will make the same choice in the hospital “Firefly” from how much he loves it, and Eli, as Printman says, leaning towards forgiveness. However, nothing never happens and not purely on the “last of us”, which printing makes it clear: “It’s bitter because it was finally honest with her, and they confessed to each other’s love in this stage, but they never moved back when we saw them in the happiest in this space museum.”
