We’re just one episode into The Final of Us’ second season, and it’s already taken some artistic liberties with the supply materials. Equally to the beginning of the sport, “Future Days,” the primary episode of HBO’s adaptation of The Final of Us Half II’s revenge story, largely takes place within the Jackson settlement the place Joel and Ellie stay. Nevertheless, the episode additionally included a number of scenes that initially featured a lot later within the narrative, proven right here as flashbacks. Given the present is enjoying with the unique story’s construction, followers at the moment are involved about one scene it appeared to skip over solely.

On the finish of the primary episode of the second season, we see Joel (Pedro Pascal) sitting on his again porch and enjoying guitar. Ellie (Bella Ramsey) locks eyes with him, then walks proper previous with no phrase. Recreation followers will know that’s not how issues performed out in The Final of Us Half II, as the 2 have a reasonably vital dialog on that porch. So what’s happening right here? Is the present skipping it solely, or are there plans to incorporate the scene at a later level? Some of us are involved the present could possibly be leaving out some of the necessary scenes within the collection, whereas others really feel assured the second will seem on the finish of the season (or at any time when the present will get to the top of Half II’s story in a future season).
The primary episode of The Final of Us’ second season appears hellbent on taking all of the thriller and rigidity out of the story, so eradicating some of the pivotal moments from the early Jackson part is among the extra curious modifications showrunner Craig Mazin made. Will probably be attention-grabbing to see how the present resolves this, or whether or not it actually will ditch some of the necessary conversations from the sport. However the reply to that’s most likely a number of episodes away. We’ll see the way it all performs out because the season goes on. New episodes air on Max at 9 p.m. Japanese.
