'The Last of Us' - Season 2 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | Neil Druckmann stepping away from creative involvement
"Yeah, it’s whatever the holistic story of the season requires. We don’t want to thin it out and we don’t want to pad it out just because there’s some expectation of an episode count. We want to make every episode meaningful and make every episode impactful. If that’s 10 episodes, if that’s six episodes, if that’s eight episodes, that’s something that we’ll discover as we break the season. But we’re not bound to a number."

Been half a decade since i played TLoU2 but i'll be cotdamned if ep 2 didn't feel as perfectly executed a scene for scene adaptation as you can get.
That and the dance scene in ep 1 with Ellie Dina and Jessie.
Speaking of, movie Dina >>> video game Dina. It's a lot of the same lines and story beats, but whoever that chick that's playing her in this HBO version just has all the charisma in the world. Stand out character

Also, with 4 eps left, will be interesting how they depict video game demon time Ellie and where they end the season (haven't followed any news on this/going in blind). They're basically at the point where the game first opens up and a lot of shyt happens between now and the end of the journey.
And if they keep it accurate, we all know demon time Tommy will be with the shyts too

first off, we need to make a distinction between making a cure vs a vaccine
cure = relieves a person from a disease
vaccine = prevents a person from getting a disease
The truth is there could never be a cure for this cordyceps …. even if the sacrifice from Ellie was 100% successful and they was able to mass produce the so-called cure , how in the hell are they supposed to insert this into the infected which is runners stalkers clickers and bloaters who are trying to kill them? But once again, i’ll played devils advocate to this notion that they are indeed able to inject this cure into all infected
what does this really do? … because the story goes once a individual is bitten and becomes infected the cordyceps travels directly to the head and immediately starts to kill all brain cells in which the fungi takes over … so with that said a cure would only kill the fungi/cordyceps leaving each and every individual brain dead … so again, and again , and again and again …. It is pretty much useless coming up with a cure at this point of over two decades.
In reality, we can say the presidents and world leaders failed humanity
Because after a couple of years into the outbreak, there should’ve been a decision to basically save the bright and brightest with their families and put them in the bunker with food, medication, machinery, etc., etc., and just nuke the whole entire planet … and once the radiation became manageable, start life/civilization/humanity all over
yea...
first off they should have not used the same actress for ellie that they used in season 1, this actress made sense for season 1 but Ellie is much darker, reserved and serious in part 2 so the actress should have resembled that. Ellie still being an annoying brat is not consistent and it pisses me off lol who wrote this?
matter fact, ima rewrite the council scene.
tommys wife Maria: Ellie, your are next, say your peace
ellie: (sitting in her seat, staring at her hands as they shake-Dina reaches over and touches ellie's hands to reassure her that everything will be ok, ellie slowly stands up to speak with no paper in her hand) I'm not here to ask for your permission to do what needs to be done...This is happening and none of you are going to stop me. I appreciate all of you and how you've helped and supported me and Joel this whole time but this is something I must do. I will.....(hands start to tremble as Ellie looks down at her hands) I will....kill EVERYONE that had anything to do with Joel's murder...because.....(ellie intensely stares at Tommy) because he would do the same for me..or YOU, he would..BECAUSE THATS WHO HE WAS, and thats who I am. NOT doing something is going to kill me...I have to...i just have to.. (ellie looks down at Dina and then back up at Tommy and then over at Jesse-Jesse gives ellie a slight nod) (Ellie then heads to the exit with Dina following her out)
yeah, that would’ve been a hellva scene.… I’ve been telling these dudes on here , the writing has been pretty bad.
reddit worse than thecoli when it comes to ellie face. them dudes said she look like buzz light year
yeah mutherfukkers on the Internet are real foul … I kind of feel bad for the girl
But I when I saw somebody say, Bella looks like the alien from Prometheus
I damn near spit my drink out and fell on the floor

really?
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
I'm on episode 2
The fukk is this mayne?
The fukk is this mayne?
On paper, that sounds coldly logical. But in reality? Still wrong.
Why?
A working vaccine means:
- Firefly fighters no longer risk turning if bitten.
- Supply runners can move more freely.
- New zones and agriculture can expand without infection collapse.
- Kids can grow up without being walking corpses-in-waiting.
A vaccine wouldn’t restore the old world, but it would finally give the new one a future.
4. “World leaders should’ve nuked the planet and restarted civilization in bunkers.”
This is the darkest — and most radical — part of your argument.
But let’s break that down:
- Nuking the world wouldn’t kill the fungus. Cordyceps is a spore-based organism that would thrive in post-blast conditions — heat-resistant, airborne, and mutating.
- Bunkers with “the brightest minds” already existed (Salt Lake City hospital, Fireflies, even FEDRA zones), and still failed because isolation doesn’t solve biological pandemics without research.
- Also… that plan would have sacrificed billions of innocent people — most of whom weren’t infected. You’re suggesting total genocide in the hopes that a few smart families could restart life in 80 years? That’s not survival. That’s eugenic extinction.
Final challenge to your argument:
You're absolutely right that a vaccine wouldn’t fix everything.
But saying it would fix nothing is false.
Even one working vaccine changes the rules:
- Fear of infection disappears.
- Kids can be born immune.
- Civilization can finally expand instead of contract.
And here’s the truth:
Joel robbed the world of that.
Can you guys shut the fukk up?

Like just in episode 2 we saw Marie have to kill one of the jackson ppl because they got bit, with nothing else wrong with him. If a vaccine is in his system, he doesnt have to be killed. It would take years, if not decades but the infected would be killed off and cease to exist.
Like what in the hell are you talking about besides people getting infected (which obviously is the most important factor) the vaccine , like literally does nothing to change the current society as it is
so your bullet points really don’t even make any sense
and to take a line from the first game, Joel does tell Ellie somewhere down the line that even though she’s immune, these infected significantly stronger & can still kill you

nuking the planet would’ve killed every single infected = stalkers , runners , clickers & bloaters etc. etc. …
as far the fungus/cordyceps itself— that’s why your brightest people would identify spores locations and avoid those areas and obviously don’t eat grains/wheat which we all know got this shyt started
and yes, it would be a very, very tough decision to nuke the planet with so many innocent people
But what is the difference from the current situation they wind it up with ; where damn near 70% of the entire world‘s population either died or became infected from the initial outbreak
and I still don’t understand why you think a vaccine changes everything in this iteration when you still have to deal with the current infected that’s literally trying to kill you at all cost
Other than a nuclear planet that eliminates all infected
