‘The Last of Us’ Creators Confirm Kaitlyn Dever-Led Season 3: “I Was Sure They Wouldn’t Let Us Do This”
Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann tease how they will focus on Abby's story next, in what's "more of a water season than a fire season."
www.hollywoodreporter.com
Druckmann discussed how he’d been involved in several failed attempts to adapt his video game and “I think it was good to go on that journey to end up at HBO, end up at a place that leaned into those controversial decisions, I guess,” like killing off Pedro Pascal‘s character Joel early in the second season. “But the decisions are just what the story required, and even now, it’s like I can’t believe that they let us structure the series in this way. Meaning like we just ended season two, and season three is going to be starring — spoiler alert — Kaitlyn.”
“What?!” Dever jokingly reacted, as McElhenney teased, “Had you closed your deal yet? You just got a ton of leverage.”
Druckmann continued, “I was sure that they wouldn’t let us do this when we started adapting this, but they’ve leaned into what makes, I believe, the story special. And allowed us not only the time but the creative freedom to be able to take these swings, and I think the audience really appreciates that.”

Took the lead white dikk out and now it's "bad writing" 
My friends sick in the group chat when I told them soon as they took the white dikk out this show people would turn on it.
Going to be even more sick when I collect my money on Friday

they could have stretched the first game for like 3 seasons if they wanted while they figured out what they were gonna do for that weedplate that was part 2. part 2 was gonna get shytted on anyway unless they executed that shyt perfectly. no clue why they thought they could be lazy about the shyt. whoever was directing bella not to be a heartless murder ninja like she was in part 2 clearly didnt play the game or just forgot what it was about. no clue what these nikkas were even going for this go round

There was literally no reason to try and "surprise" people
First season was pretty good to great in large part because they stuck to the characterization and story beats. People actually liked both protagonists.
When the game dropped, regardless of ppl being butt-hurt by the white savor dying, nobody actually had a dislike for Ellie. Hell, most were mad the game forced us to play as Abbey immediately after, as they wanted to switch back to Ellie right away to butcher ol girl /the real darth sith lord
In game, the dinosaur/space museum was one of the most touching/sentimental scenes that further cemented Ellie as the goat proxy daughter. I mentioned before there was no barging in on Ellie having sex on her bday nor Eugene getting shot by Joel/Ellie gaslighting him in front of the widow; those were show addons that essentially ruined everything the musuem scene was set to accomplish.
Also, in regards to Abbey

In hindsight the filler episode with the gay couple was a red flag because altho it was well reviewed, it was a complete departure from the game that had no significance to driving the plot of the show or any character development; just a wasted episode with unneeded pandering when Ellie's origin story with the young brehette would organically tick that box anyway. They went on to miss the mark trying to weave more LGBT-themed cues in s2 that weren't in the game and it backfired with awkward dialogue and moments for the protagonists.

Issac saying Abbey is the real leader of the town and they'll be lost without her...? For starters: what the fukk? and secondly, if you gon add something like that for the show, that's something you show in actions, and not just say as a throw-in line after we ain't seen ol girl since she killed everyone's favorite white man 4-5 eps ago.
