How The Last of Us TV Show Got Made

A look back at how the HBO hit "The Last of Us" was really made
Sometimes, doing less is more.
How The Last of Us TV Show Was Made
Before Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey starred as Joel and Ellie in the Last of Us TV series, there was a Hollywood executuve who approved the adaption. This is a look at how that went, maybe.

    @@chrisrakow9745 they don’t need their help, they just need to follow their example. The problem with the AC movie was that it strayed so far from what AC was that it was basically unrecognisable as having anything to do with AC. If they took out the Animus(or whatever that thing was), it could’ve just been a film about a guy in the present interspersed with flashbacks of some other guy. Take the great stories of AC and Horizon and just turn them into shows. Don’t mess with them too much and the people that don’t play games will enjoy them for what they are. I don’t know what percentage of viewers of TLOU weren’t gamers but I bet it was a sizeable chunk of them.

Instead of having a show about an established main character (besides a wesker that apparently survived re5) they made an original storyline with characters you cant care about. It doesnt matter which gender or race any of them were, they would still be trash. Labeling everything as woke anytime it has a black or female character in it is how the term lost meaning long ago. There are good ways to switch things up and there are bad ways, the RE show decided to go the lazy route so it ended up terrible outside of Lance Reddicks acting (yeah he looked like blade but he was the only part of the show that wasnt terrible, if it gave him a decent storyline and made him the main character it may have at least been ok)

Def agree the story for resident evil focusing on the dad instead of the tough rebel daughter would have been way more interesting. Anyways, the Halo show is a better example of being trash because of story changes. At least was watchable since wasn’t extra woke. Ironically the Witcher story changes dont even bother me , it’s just the blatant progressive woke crap that has ruined it.

    I have played The Last Of Us Part 1 at least a dozen times, & I can say that this show is the best videogame adaptation (film or movie) ever! It does what any good adaptation should do; be mostly loyal to the original source material, but change just enough so there's something new yet still enjoyable to watch. For example, about 80% of what we see in the 1st 3 episodes is from the 1st few levels of the game, but the remaining 20% is things like expanded backstory & more development for certain characters we didn't originally get.
