The last of us 2 season should make one serious change to work on television

This post contains heavy spoilers For “last of us, part II” and 1 season “last of us”.

We are in the golden age of video game adaptations. Though The only ideal shows based on video games are animated. “The last of us”, although sometimes too true to our original material in the 1st season, was an exciting drama about post-apocalypse. Even if the show failed to achieve exciting, emotionally devastating highs of the original game, it was still a series of compulsory viewing with unforgettable characters, complex topics and one hell of the season’s finals.

Now the expectation of the sky is high for the following actions, the more than the upcoming season 2 will cope The masterpiece, which is “the last of us, part II,” was awarded. With this expectation, there are also many questions about how the TV show will consider the numerous disputes that surrounded this game, starting with the fact that it focused on the character of Abby, which will play in the show Caytlin Dever.

In the Abby games introduces the antagonist who crashed into life as a hammer on a glass table, killing Joel, just for the game to make a switch and change the point of view halfway, causing the player to take control of the Abby and sees the conflict through her perspective . This is an incredible charming trick and the cause of the game works so well. The problem is that what works in the video game does not necessarily work on television, and for the “last of us” 2nd season, it must make significant changes in how it tells about Abbi and Eli.

In the game you spend a considerable amount of time playing the role of Eli when you plant the Abby crew to avenge Joel’s shocking murder. Just a few hours you switch the prospects and play long as Abby in your own storyline as you Learn to understand her motivation and prerequisites.

However, this will probably not work on TV – at least not on HBO, where we often get only a new TV season every two years or more. Imagine that the audience is set up to see more Helly’s story (Bella Ramsey) and Joel (Pedro Pascal), experiencing Joel’s murder and start searching for revenge, and then waiting for two more years to only watch the main characters of the third season A small character they know only as the one to kill their beloved Joel.

This is like what happened to Titan’s attack, an extremely popular anime. When the 3 season is over, we just got into the big milestone, and the audience desperately wanted to find out where the heroes would go. Instead, when the premiere took place in the next season, the audience spent several weeks, after a completely new set of characters – including the one who eventually killed the beloved protagonist. This led to a rather acute story that the heroes were villains in someone else’s history and the influence of war on children. However, the damage was caused, and the character of Gabi was the purpose of the great showcase and misery on the Internet.

“The last of us” can’t happen – especially since the character of the story already is Actor Caytlin Dever asking for additional security on the set. Instead of spending the whole season, making obei a great bad wolf, and then make it the main character after two years as soon as the damage is finally, “the last of us” season 2 must squeeze the story lines of Abby and Eli, changing the perspective in each Episode, if not every few scenes. This will not be out of place for the HBO show, with series like “Game of Thrones”, receiving viewers used to change the characters’ perspective every few minutes. Maybe Neil Printman and Craig Mazin look forward to pulling out the viewers, but we hope they can make a choice of adaptation that supports the effectiveness of history without creating a massive backlist against one of the most difficult characters in the franchise.
