As a passionate movie critic, I find myself compelled to weigh in on the buzz surrounding the latest chapter of “The Last of Us” on HBO Max. Initially, Season 1 captivated viewers and critics alike, a testament to its authenticity as an adaptation from the beloved video game that premiered back in 2023.
However, the tide seems to have turned with the advent of Season 2. The once universal acclaim has morphed into a discourse that’s sparking curiosity and debate among fans and critics alike.
In the second season, there was considerable criticism, not only due to certain narrative decisions, but also because of Ramsey’s depiction of Ellie, which did not sit well with many viewers.
Some supporters felt displeased with alterations to the character and the deviations in the narrative compared to the original video game. Additionally, some critics aimed their dissatisfaction towards Ramsey, disregarding the fact that they were a history-making nonbinary actor who received multiple Emmy nominations.
In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast, Ramsey acknowledged addressing the criticism that has come her way. She explained, “I’ve tried to avoid it as much as possible, truth be told, because there’s not much I can do about it at this point.
Once the show has been released, there’s no room for adjustments or modifications. Therefore, I find it rather pointless to delve deeper into reviews or criticisms. While everyone is entitled to their unique perspectives, they don’t influence the show’s progression in any way. To me, these are two distinct entities.
She additionally communicated a straightforward message to her critics: “If you dislike it so intensely, feel free not to watch it. The game is still available. Simply replay the game if you wish. However, should you choose to watch it, I hope you find enjoyment in it.
In the second series, many actors from the inaugural season returned, alongside fresh faces. It delved into the repercussions of Joel’s actions in season 1, such as the fallout from his battle with the Fireflies, and even introduced Abby, a character who turns out to be the daughter of a surgeon that Joel had previously killed in that conflict.
Ramsey conveyed why certain instances deviated from the video game scenario. For example, Ellie’s enthusiasm about caring for Dina’s baby wasn’t pre-scripted in the game, according to her – it seemed like Craig Mazin (the showrunner) had added it spontaneously.
In their relationship dynamic, she often perceives herself as taking on a role traditionally associated with men. The concept of her being the parent figure, specifically the dad, was amusing to consider. However, this wasn’t always strictly adhered to in the game, with some departures intentional and well thought out, even if they were just for a laugh.
Despite the critique, Ramsey remains steadfast in her commitment to her character and the narrative. She skillfully distinguishes fan reactions from the substance of the work, demonstrating a strong belief in both the show’s merit and her performance as Ellie.
