The Last Of Us Season 2 Needs To Keep One Key Element Of The Game

HBO’s The Last of Us will probably have to make a lot of changes to adapt the gargantuan nonlinear narrative of The Last of Us Part II for television, but there’s one key aspect of the sequel game that the TV show needs to keep. The Last of Us season 2 will begin to tackle the enormous plot of the second game, introducing Abby and her vendetta against Joel before sending Ellie off on the road to revenge. Structurally, the TV show will have to make some huge alterations. The game has a huge chunk of story told from Ellie’s perspective followed by the same chunk of story told from Abby’s perspective. Rather than chronicling Ellie and Abby’s three days in Seattle separately, the series could use its cross-cutting ability to chart their journeys simultaneously, contrasting the two opposing characters and showing their similarities.
