What's you're opinion on the last of us season 2?
I've got a very mixed take. I'm of the opinion that if someone wants a perfectly matched adaptation, that they should just go watch a playthrough. But there were so many parts of the second game that they just butchered when translating it to TV.
I say this as someone who genuinely loves The Last of Us Part II (even more than the first). But it is not a perfect game, so of course there are some things that they are going to change about it. They did so good with the first season with choosing what to keep and what to change. But it feels like they threw it all out the window with the second season.
Especially with the butchering of Tommy (my favorite character btw), Jesse, and Ellie. They were so much more intriguing in the game.
What happened to the conversation between Tommy and Ellie after Joel's death? Why was Dina present at Joel's death instead of Tommy? Why was the infected hoard attack necessary? Why did they give Maria and Tommy a son if they aren't going to utilize him interestingly? Why did they remove Jesse's "my friends problems are my problems" line when it was his most memorable line?
There are things that you can change about the second game to make it into a TV show. Like I said, the game is nowhere near perfect.
I could go on and on, I fear 💔.
TL;DR: I really really want to like it, but it has so many issues and I just wish they remained more faithful to the game.
