After Playing Both Games, I’ve Decided to Boycott The Last of Us Season 2 — And It Has Nothing to Do With Bella Ramsey

The Last of Us game series is widely considered to be one of the best action-adventure video game series of all time. The first game focused on survivors Joel and Ellie as they worked together to survive in a post-apocalyptic United States. The second game focuses on Ellie’s revenge as she sets out on a journey to bring justice for those she loves. The story of the two games has been adapted into a TV show, but unfortunately, the show didn’t exactly do a great job of retelling this beautiful story.

There are various reasons why The Last of Us TV series was not well-received by the fans. It starts with the poor casting choices, as many have pointed out that the actors look nothing like the characters they are playing. But it is not just the horrible casting choice; it is also the lazy writing and the lack of attention to detail.

The Last of Us show doesn’t focus on small details

We are not talking about the casting or the story here because it can vary how one feels about those two things. What The Last of Us show messed up is not focusing on small details. For example, there is a particular scene in the show where Ellie goes through rain and mud, and in the very next scene, her clothes appear to be completely clean.

Some might say that this is nitpicking, but it makes no sense. They have spent a lot of time picking the right outfits for the characters, so why leave this out? And no, she didn’t change her clothes because she can be seen wearing the same outfit.

On top of this, she has flawless hair in the middle of an apocalypse. A few fans have pointed out that the show has partnered up with Wrangler, so it makes sense why all the outfits are spotless in almost every scene. This is one thing that The Walking Dead TV series got right, as most characters actually looked like they were living through a zombie apocalypse.

The Last of Us TV series has received mixed reviews

The primary reason why The Last of Us TV series is getting hate is because the video game series has set a very high standard. It’s nearly impossible for the TV show to recreate the same depth, or capture the magic of the video games series. The TV show lacked the horror elements, darkness and grit of the game, all the factors that made the video games so special.

As a standalone TV series, it might have worked out, but its struggling to reach the bar set by the video game franchise. The entire point of the show was to popularise the game among a wider audience, those who have not played the game.

Yes, the casting choice is also poor. The actors did a great job at portraying the characters from the game, but the fact that some of them don’t look like how the characters are supposed to look in the game, is being criticized by the viewers. At the end of the day, it’s an adaptation of the series, and recreating the same elements from a video game can be a difficult task.
