HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ Won’t Make the Same Mistake as ‘Game of Thrones’

With every statement from the creators of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’, fans are getting more and more excited about adapting Joel and Ellie’s story for the big screen. Now, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann ensure that the series with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey promises not to make the same mistakes that ‘Game of Thrones’ had when it concluded its story with the last season.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Neil Druckmann stated that “The Last of Us’ won’t go through the same error as ‘game of Thrones’: “We have no plans to tell stories beyond adapting the games,” which means they don’t want to continue the series and create completely new things that haven’t been seen in Naughty Dog’s two games.

Craig Mazin, showrunner of the HBO series, said that “We will not find the same problem as ‘game of Thrones’ from ‘Part II’ [de la serie de videojuegos] It doesn’t have an open ending”. As some may know, for the last few seasons of “Game of Thrones”, the creators continued with the plot, despite the fact that George RR Martin had not released the ending of his novels, so they had to improvise .

“I have no interest in doing a series like a turntable show that goes on and on. When he transforms into a perpetual motion machine, he can’t help but get a little… stupid. The finals mean everything to me” Mazin said. The creators are clear that the story of ‘The last of us’ it would end up like in video games.

Will ‘The Last of Us’ have a second season?

For now, the showrunner and producer have said that, if successful with the first season, “The Last of Us” could continue with the adaptation of the second part of the adventure of Joel and Ellie. However, it will take a long time to find out if the HBO adaptation has managed to be profitable enough to continue with the plans.

But so far everything seems to indicate that this will be the case, because although there are some substantial changes in the adaptation, the story of Joel and Ellie, now played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, former protagonists of “Game of Thrones”, has many expectations at the shoulders. And with such an exciting and underexplored story in the zombie genre, not only fans of the video game but also fans of the series have their eyes on this title.

It will be January 15 when ‘The Last of Us’ will be released through the HBO Max platform, and fans expect a great adaptation of one of the most transcendental and important video games that the industry has had as a means of expression in the past year.
