The adaptation of the ever popular Naughty Dog video game The Last of Us was always going to be subject to a lot of debate.
I personally am loving the series, but I would be keen to know what fan opinions you agree with or are totally opposing.
🚨Watch out: Huge game and show spoilers ahead! 🚨
1. This fan thinks the show delivers some of the best guest roles:
#TheLastOfUs also showcases some of the best in guest star roles even if they are only appearing for a portion of the episode. Three episodes and all the actors that appear outside the leads simply SHINE.
2. Episode 3 had some heartbreaking reactions:
the last of us writers were like “hey joel needs a car. what if we write the most touching and heartbreaking hour of television in the world”
3. Some fans are all for a two-hour cut of Episode 3:
#TheLastOfUs episode 3 originally had a roughly 2 hour cut Me:
4. This viewer thinks the adaptation has lost the subtlety and maturity of the game:
My stance on the Last of Us show is this: It ripped out any form of subtlety or maturity the game had, and made it about on par with season 3 of Walking Dead. Game Tess is shot by the military without ceremony. You just find her body. Show Tess blows up in a massive explosion. https://t.co/DZxViSRrKW
5. One fan has big predictions for future episodes and new characters:
Twitter is going to explode when they meet Henry and Sam. #TheLastOfUs
6. Actor Chloë Grace Moretz is loving the game-to-TV adaptation:
The last of us is *so good* whatta way to adapt a video game perfectly , definitely scratches a gamer itch in my brain 10/10!
7. This viewer wishes there were no zombies:
I like everything about #TheLastOfUs except for the zombies. Why do there have to be zombies??? I hate zombies.
8. One watcher has made the bold statement of the show being overhyped:
I'm strating to think HBO's The Last of Us is overhyped. Whichever critic said this show breaks the video game adapataion curse is a moron. #TheLastofUs
9. But, this viewer thinks the story works better as a TV show:
So I’m watching The Last Of Us and I will say, this works so much better as a tv show. I tried playing the game years ago and honestly I was so bored. I never finished it. But the show has me HOOKED. #TheLastOfUs #HBOMax
10. These fans are uncertain of what will happen if HBO sticks to Joel's storyline:
@DeanaXburke Exactly, my sister told me now if Joel dies she will not continue watching #thelastofus, and I believe her same thing happened to her when glenn died on TWD
11. Tess is this fan's favorite character:
Tess is in two episodes. Two. Dos. We know so little about her character. And yet, she is my favorite, and I will rewatch those episodes all the time #thelastofus
12. Whilst this viewer isn't sure what to make of the show:
The last of us is the weirdest show I’ve ever seen. Can’t tell if I love it or hate it but it makes absolutely no sense at all #TheLastOfUs
13. And, finally, one fan was disappointed with Sarah's crucial moment:
Sarah’s death didn’t do a damn thing. The game just does it better. #TheLastOfUs
