The Last of Us (HBO) TV Show • Page 114

Looks good. Hoping there would be a release date though.

 

My hair stood up throughout the entire thing. Looks perfect.

 

S1 was January, I hope S2 is also super early in 2025

 

abby not jacked enough /s

 

The cut to Abby. Chills/watery eyes.

I don’t mind if they adjust the timeline or setting slightly but I need the impact/pain of this season to be just as jarring and cathartic as the game.

 

Gonna be great. Love the nods to the game (what appears to be exact scene replicas) just like in the first season. I know they are splitting the game into 2 seasons, but it's hard to really see how and where with how the trailer is cut so that'll be fun to see play out. Super excited and now just hoping it's early 2025 (like Feb / March).

 

Oh mannnn

 

Not going to discuss a ton here, but what a trailer.

 

I like the inclusion of future days

 

give us the pc port dammit

 

Yesss

 

Oh man, I need it now. Hoping they bring the podcast back for this season.

 

What’s going on is you’re one step closer to having your heart and brain wrecked as entertainment.

 

looks incredible

 

Holy shit that trailer

 

TLOU2 releases on PC on 4/3. Imagine season 2 won’t release until after that.

Again reiterating that you should not watch/look up anything about the game if you aren’t planning on playing before it premieres

 

It was also confirmed as q2 in sonys earnings call which is april - june.

 

Yeah, with HBO saying The White Lotus is premiering in February, I’ve been thinking April 13, and this would line up with that.

 

I remember watching some video essay on TLOU2 when the game out and dissecting why it was so polarizing. I’m not a gamer so I watched the whole thing just out of curiosity and got it all spoiled for me, but I honestly can’t remember a single thing about it. I wonder if any of it will comeback as I’m watching season two.

 

**SPOILERS**

In my opinion a good majority of gamers, be it their age or immaturity, didn't accept the storytelling of TLOU2. The writers clearly felt that Joel's death was important both to propel the revenge storyline, and to give the story even more emotional depth.

A lot of gamers just want to play as their heroes and save the day with big explosions, and it didn't let us do that. It forced us to question the morality of what a protagonist and antagonist means.

Personally I felt like the writing in TLOU2 was next level and gave us a real mature, 'adult' post-apocalypse story.

I can't wait for the second season of the show.

 

You might want to put actual spoiler tags on that or move it to the video game thread.

 

Yeah, pretty fucked up to put that in the show thread without tags.
