When the OG creator of a franchise decides to leave it's adaptation, you already know that what comes next will be an absolute dumpster fire.
RIP The Last of Us HBO🕊️
Neil Druckmann will not return to write for ‘THE LAST OF US’ Season 3.
Craig Mazin will write all episodes of Season 3 himself.

My new video called: “HBO RUINED The Last of Us with Season 2” is now published on YouTube.
I go in-depth into the issues with Season 2 comparing it to the games.

Many people who are playing The Last of Us Part II for the first time are saying they absolutely love it.
Makes you wonder what would’ve been the reception of this game if it never leaked & didn’t release during a pandemic 👀
#TheLastOfUs games surge in sales after HBO Season 2 finale
According to Amazon’s charts, The Last of Us Part II Remastered is currently the #1 best-selling PS5 game.
Part I sits close behind at #3, edged out only by Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – Deluxe Edition.
@magic_rlc I thought about rewatching season 2 but nah…during editing this video, I’m seeing so many bad scenes that it’s so cringe 😅 idk how they fumbled this bad when the game is legit RIGHT THERE LOL
I’m working on a new video about how HBO RUINED the great potential of The Last of Us 😒
Coming out hopefully this weekend

Then what was the fucking point of adapting The Last of Us Part II? It’s a game about hate, violence, misery and all the negative emotions that losing someone you love can bring out in you in a world like that
Craig doesn’t seem to understand The Last of Us & he’s the director…
#TheLastOfUs showrunner Craig Mazin on why they cut the death of Alice the Dog
“There are two cardinal rules in Hollywood, one, don’t spend your own money... two, don’t kill a dog"
“Plus, because it’s live action, the nature of violence becomes much more graphic ... it’s very disturbing ... And in our conversation, we’re like this [is] probably one [death] too many"

HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 is extremely disappointing. They did everything perfectly apart from some of the story choices & changes to Ellie’s character. It would’ve benefited from having more episodes. 7 episodes forced HBO to cut a lot of what made TLOU2 unforgettable
6/10
@KimJoshUn2 You should make a vid for sure. This feels like Amazing Spider-Man 2 all over again. Great cinematography, music, settings, cast...but dogshit writing & changes
HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 could’ve been so much better with Neil Druckmann writing this show alongside Craig like in Season 1. Episode 6 proves this.
Wasted Potential
@illycitysniper But I still respect your opinion. I just dislike the show a bit less than you but at the end, the games are always gonna beat this show. It’s just sad cause it had all the potential in the world to be great.
@illycitysniper I disagree. For me, Pedro and Bella are good as Joel and Ellie. The issue is the writing and direction. The things they make the characters do and how they act. I feel for the cast cause they’ve done decently with what they are given. It’s truly a shame.
@illycitysniper It has some good elements to it, but they wasted the good they had with terrible changes to the story and Ellie as a character. The games are far superior by galaxies
