The challenges of translating The Last of Us to the television audience | The DeanBeat

There are several times when I imagined to be a game manager for our hereafter, the wonderful video game of Naughty Dog, and the executive producer of the last TV series on HBO, which concluded his second season.

I would have benefited from Joel better in both the second match and the second season of the show. You have thrown different actors in the main roles – with more focus on those who look like characters in games. But the first season of the show was so good that I took my safety in the decisions of Neil DroCan, the director of the game, and the coach, the co -author and the purchase of the offer. I was a fan of frustrated at first, and now I am defending the offer, as my facts have changed.

After all, when converting the game into a show, give the due respect to the games series that is my favorite at all. The first season was the installation and deviated to more than one game with the third episode, in the love story of Bell and Frank, which was just a little game. Hollywood has always been respected by the characteristics of the game, and this respect was a sign of games growth in a collective culture. We now have a generation of creators in Hollywood who love games.

As a player, the original title of 2014 caught my attention because it was a alive coma, as every battle was a struggle for death-with extreme manual fighting that it was not about zombies as many other games. It was about sneaking to the zombie in a cowardly in a cowardly and sore throat with a knife – closely and personally. While I was a drug addict through the bold procedure, I remained on the characters and the beginning of the reservation and the end, as the echo of the game echoes completely at the end of the game.

I saw these creators take my favorite game and make it in one of my favorite TV shows. I am, unfortunately, not a manager. I am just a fan, where I can only receive the result of entertainment. The second match was tested and very fierce as a fan, as the characters who loved them were killed without mercy or ceremonies just because it was clarified that it was a dangerous world as life was stuck in the threads.

Thus I expected the tragedy of the second episode, as we were all stolen from a character very early, apparently without chance to say goodbye. I was surprised by the great budget of that episode, as Jackson and Wyoming defended against a giant attack of the injured. There were gestures of the heads of the difficult game, as when Tommy took this battle (but of course that battle was in place in the narration). It was the Battle of a Panoramic of the type that we did not expect at a time of offers with the decrease in budgets.

There were differences from the game, with the addition of a processor, the deletion of the main fighting sequence, the shortening scenes of the offside that took hours in the game, and other things that told me that the show makers believe that the repeated procedure of the game should not be translated into the TV screen.

In some respects, the other fans’ reaction to the second season. Elie comes out in the spotlight from the show as lesbian, although people have played another of us: they left behind DLC, when this was a surprise. The show and the game dealt with this topic sensitively, like any love story. This made me proud to see the creators and actors “to stop the criticisms that such things were” woke up. “

It took courage to make these characters and the novel of this love story, which must be considered natural, in our current climate. Although I hated parts of another of us: Part 2 a lot, I understood them and how it was part of the simple idea that all our actions have consequences – and part 2 of the game series revolves around those consequences. When I finished the game, I understood this and written for parts of the game. It is interesting to see this type of reaction that plays with the supposed larger TV audience.

I also wondered how it was strategically important for creators to decide exactly where to finish the second season, as we can expect multiple seasons to continue the show. In fact, just as happened with Game of Thrones, we can expect HBO to compete for a game and go to a new narrative area that does not come from any game.

Now I can see that the structure seems to have a logical break at the beginning of the fighting in the theater in Seattle. This season was only seven episodes, however it started through the content of the second match at an anxious pace. She briefly did the long battles and focused on drama between characters such as Joel, Eli, Eli, Dina, Eli and Jesse. This made some people think it was very boring, with no of enough procedures. But this game was never about zombies. It was about the interaction between people.

There were some unforgettable moments such as confrontation between Eli and Nora, where we see that Eli had changed in a way that there is no return. I was initially surprised that they were skipping the huge battle of the president and keeping light in an exciting moment. But the opposition shows his bias: show more people, not more zombies. I believed that the actor who played the role of Jesse, the rare American -Asian character who was like a Marburo man in the West, was up to the game’s character.

It was supposed to tell us the disappearance of beloved characters that life is short in the dangerous world. However, by finishing it in the seventh episode in the scene of the theater, the creators reflected this message by making it the height of the entire season. In fact, in the second game, there was no natural stop point in the middle of the events.

I look forward to the story of Abe in the next season, and I can expect to provide the final clash of the characters until a fourth season. But if there is anything more afraid, this show will be over before I know it. So my request to the bidder is to slow it down, capture more games events, and give us more. Do not rush to this and find that you have to invent a new story just as the showrunners in Game of Thrones. I think this series of games and shows have taught me to fear the ends.

Should the games be played? You should see both seasons. naturally. They made me initially. They still have.
