Horror 'The Last of Us' HBO Series

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I believe they've stated their intentions to adapt the second game over three seasons, which makes sense because the second game breaks pretty neatly into three parts. You'd need to bulk up the third part a lot to make a full season of it, but it's a pretty neat break. The game is about 20-ish hours. What would be the third season ending theoretically would be a not very good ending, I'd bet. But the game and presumably fourth season ends in a way that's simultaneously not leaning on a sequel but you know there's plenty of space for one and I assume they'll end up doing it at some point.

I thought they were adapting the 2nd game into 2 seasons?

I have said from the start they could easily make 3 seasons out of it though.

These are the quotes I'm referring to with that comment.

“We don’t think that we’re going to be able to tell the story even within two seasons [2 and 3] because we’re taking our time and go down interesting pathways which we did a little bit in Season 1 too,” Mazin said. “We feel like it’s almost assuredly going to be the case that — as long as people keep watching and we can keep making more television — Season 3 will be significantly larger. And indeed, the story may require Season 4.”

“One thing is absolutely for sure, I don’t see how we could tell the story that remains after Season 2 is complete in one more season,” he said.

Ah excellent. Seems they have they changed their mind then as previously they had said 2 seasons for the 2nd game.

Between each main characters story and the flashbacks, the 2nd is easily enough for 3 seasons IMO.

I still think the whole Santa Braraba portion can be it's own season.

If they were to somehow combine what happens during the time jump that we didn't see in the game between Seattle and the last leg of the game in Santa Barbara, I could see it.

We also didn't see what happened to Abby and Lev when the Rattlers caught them and put them in prison, and also what led to them being posted on the beach.

So, for a possible season three, we have:

1) Abby and Lev looking the Fireflies. They’re able make contact, but immediately get captured by the Rattlers. We actually get to see the progression of their imprisonment and mistreatment up until when Ellie finds them.

2) In the show, we could actually get to see Ellie and Dina find the abandoned farmhouse to settle down in after the events of Seattle and make the transition from hunting Abby to living a peaceful life, Dina having JJ, Ellie and Dina working to make it more of a home, Ellie trying her best to put to rest her Abby revenge quest to live happy life with Dina and Baby.

3) Then, you get the events of the game, from when we see Ellie with JJ to when she decides to leave both of them and resume her vendetta.

4) Ellie on her journey tracking to find Abby, making it to Santa Barbara.

5) Encountering/fighting off/killing the Rattlers and finding 2425 Constance.

6) Finds Abby and Lev, frees them, has her fight with Abby, nearly kills her, decides to let her go and relinquish her revenge, goes back to the farmhouse one last time to find it abandoned, and then goes on her way, wherever that is.

Also, there’s this one note you can find in Santa Barbara written by one of people who was able to escape, that could pretty much be expanded upon for its own episode:

Hey Rattlers!

It's Mckenzie. I'm out. Free.

My husband died picking your f**king tomatoes.

We aren't some lonely stragglers. I will be back with others. Your time is coming.

I want to know that character’s backstory.

Honestly, there’s plenty of material to work with.

Quoting this because I'm currently doing a rewatch of the first season and just saw this part again. Fantastic line but it's not as fun hearing it now.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Getting really close this now.

I don’t think you can wrap game 2 in two seasons. Supposedly season 2 ends on a cliffhanger. Season 4 easily could adapt dealing with grief, looking for fire flies, and Santa Barbara.

 

[DCDAVE]

How many times did season 1 make you cry. For me Joel and his daughter, Bill and Frank, Henry and Sam, Elle and Riley.

The tears will be flowing in season 2.

 

[The Joker]

I'd expect a minimum of three seasons to cover all of 2's story. It covers a lot and it needs room to breathe.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

Bro what is this???

Tried not to hate it but you can't take that seriously. Horrible casting

Bill and Frank got me because it was totally new for the show. Sam broke my heart even more than the game because of Ellie trying to cure him. But what really got me was this, which surprised me because it went down exactly the same way in the game so I knew it was coming.

Well, I think the reason why it hits a bit harder is because, unlike in the game, she isn’t stopped by Joel from completely mutilating David in a fit of rage and uncontrolled violence, so she’s pretty much even more completely broken by the end of the experience by the time she’s found by Joel, whom she needs even more at that point.

Why are you acting surprised by a scene from an episode that aired over 2 years ago?

Bella may not look just like video game Ellie but she sold it with her performance.

Made the mistake of going on Twitter again and saw that post. This administration really has given the worst people the license to do and say the worst things without any consequence.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Well, visually, this show is still a marvel. I can't speak to any deviations or direct nods to the games since I never played them, but I still enjoy how this series is directed.

Crooked Still music during the dance! I love them! Had the pleasure of seeing them live once. So good.....
