I Can’t Wait for The Last of Us to Do the Game’s Best Scene

With 3 episodes of The Last of Us play 2 remaining, we cognize it’s coming. The champion country successful either Last of Us game, successful my opinion. And we cognize it’s coming some due to the fact that it’s successful the trailer and due to the fact that adapting The Last of Us Part II without this country would beryllium the eventual disservice.

If you’ve played the game, surely, you cognize what we’re talking about. If you haven’t, and don’t cognize what the country is, possibly halt speechmaking here. I’m not going to ruin it with a clump of details but not knowing precisely however it plays retired volition marque things that overmuch much rewarding.

We’re talking, of course, astir Ellie’s day gift, a flashback the show’s trailer teased mode backmost successful March. I adjacent wrote astir it astir 5 years ago erstwhile the crippled archetypal came retired due to the fact that it was truthful hugely impactful for me. And, if you spell backmost to that article, I spell implicit the bushed by bushed of it successful the game. Again, I won’t spoil it here, conscionable successful case.

To yet get to spot it adapted successful unrecorded action, though, is someway adjacent much exciting. First, that’s due to the fact that Pedro Pascal’s Joel volition person to travel backmost for it. As bully arsenic this play has been, not having Pascal successful each occurrence has surely been disappointing for some. Second, we’ve present spent years creating bonds with his mentation of Joel arsenic good arsenic Bella Ramsey’s mentation of Ellie, truthful the country should play adjacent amended than the game.

There’s besides the anticipation of seeing however co-creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin bring it to life. How intimately volition the country lucifer the game? How acold volition the visuals go? What volition Bella Ramsey’s reactions beryllium to it? How astir Joel’s? And, of course, there’s the question of whether TV audiences volition autumn arsenic successful emotion with the infinitesimal arsenic gamers did.

Now, present is astir apt a bully clip to propulsion backmost the curtain. As I stated successful my reappraisal of The Last of Us play two, I’ve already seen the full season. So, I cognize erstwhile this is coming and what it’s like. And portion I can’t specifically reply those questions, I tin say—I wrote this, didn’t I? I’m inactive here, waiting successful anticipation. That’s astir apt a bully sign.

The Last of Us play 2 is presently airing connected HBO and Max.
