Join us for a fresh round of discussions on the ComicBook Panel! Feel free to share your personal thoughts and opinions about the debut episode of The Last of Us Season 2 in the comments section below.
Last night, HBO aired the premiere of Season 2 for “The Last of Us,” which first appeared on HBO in 2022, following a two-year gap. This highly praised series features Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey reprising their roles as Joel and Ellie, with Gabriel Luna returning as Joel’s brother Tommy. In the opening episode, we encounter some new yet recognizable characters played by Isabella Merced, Young Mazino, and Kaitlyn Dever, portraying Dina, Jesse, and Abby respectively.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but echo the sentiments of critics who believe HBO is on the brink of another triumph with their current production. Our very own ComicBook review has even given the second season a stellar 4 out of 5 rating. The premiere alone hints at an even more captivating tale that unfolds ahead. For devotees of the Naughty Dog series, particularly The Last of Us Part 2, there are discernible alterations to the original plot that promise a potentially divergent narrative for our two central characters.
The game “The Last of Us” is often hailed as one of the greatest video games ever made, and its sequel, released in 2020, received widespread praise as well. When it came to transforming this popular post-apocalyptic series into a Hollywood production, the creators behind “Chernobyl,” Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann from Naughty Dog, were put in charge. The first season of the HBO adaptation was a huge hit, earning numerous award nominations.
Five years following Season 1’s events, Joel and Ellie’s reunion is marked by a tense bond, with a tormented Joel bearing the burden of deceit about the non-existence of a cure for the outbreak. This deception has put immense pressure on him, prompting him to seek help from psychotherapist Gail, played by Catherine O’Hara. The aftermath of Joel’s choices in the season finale unfolds as his actions appear to have significant repercussions, as we meet a band of Fireflies led by Abby.
Numerous viewers have lauded the debut episode for faithfully portraying Part II, particularly the dance scene that stands out prominently. Nevertheless, the arrival of Gail and the unexpected turn at the end of the first installment seem to shift the initial narrative arc. Despite this plot change, it could offer a fresh perspective on Joel’s internal conflicts and possibly foreshadowing trouble for the Wyoming settlement.
