'The Last of Us' - Season 2 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | Neil Druckmann stepping away from creative involvement

[Jmare007]

Maybe but I think good TV will overcome all that.. and the source material is a good start..

Besides at this point the audience knows there's no more Joel, I don't necessarily think they're super attached to Ellie

I'm glad they at least stuck to the format

Edit

Also I seen a news sure report that sunday's episode leaked but I'm not sure it's still available.

I mean yeah, good/great writing can overcome anything.

My point is that Mazin made his job way harder by sticking with a very complex narrative structure that becomes even more challenging in a TV setting than in a video game. There were other ways to make season 2 and 3 easier to write and present to the audience, but he decided to be as faithful to the 2nd game as possible and it's gonna be a big challenge for the third season, hell, it's already been one for the 2nd season.

Shows been really good this season.

Just coming from the games I'm not use to these characters being so much more helpless and not mowing down 20 heavily armed soldiers plus Clickers like female Solid Snake

I feel like they've changed Jesse's character slightly to compensate how they've written Ellie

[Gizmo_Duck]

[Gizmo_Duck]

[Lootpack]

That was a mess.

 

[904]

The Ellie and Seraphite scene really wasn't necessary.. unless there's some future foretelling it felt like filler
