Why The Last of Us needs to depart from the game.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Spoilers ahead for the ending of The Last of Us Part II and the potential future storylines in HBO's The Last of Us. In order to succeed as a TV series, HBO's The Last of Us season 2 needs to make one big change to the second game's ending.

In the sequel game's present-day timeline, Ellie knows the truth and isn't on good terms with Joel . Early on in the game, Joel is murdered by Abby , an ex-Firefly who takes Joel's life to avenge her former comrades. In turn, Abby's actions prompt a revenge-obsessed Ellie to leave the relative safety of Jackson, Wyoming for the militia-controlled streets of Seattle. Undoubtedly, The Last of Us season 2 will be a totally different show.

The Last Of Us II Ends Ellie's Story Without A Cure Even though The Last of Us Part II opens with Joel confessing his actions to Tommy, the game never really returns to the cure thread. Instead, Joel's divulgence frames the sequel's revenge elements, which lead to some of Ellie's worst scenes in The Last Of Us 2.

It's possible that gamers are supposed to think along the same lines as Joel and Ellie: the Firefly doctors were the only ones who could've created a cure and, now, there's no hope. At the end of the game, Ellie gets word of Abby's whereabouts and abandons her family — Dina and their son — to confront Abby one last time. Like Joel, Ellie makes a terrible decision that has an enduring impact.

Why The Last Of Us Season 2 Shouldn't Drop The Vaccine Story The Last of Us Part II keeps the focus on just how much a revenge quest can take from a person, trading any glimmer of cure-related hope for something much more harrowing. Unless a third game in the series returns to Ellie's immunity and the search for a cure, there's no material left, with regard to that thread, for the HBO series to draw from.
