This Week's "The Last Of Us" Had Some Perfect Details, So Here Are 25 That You Might've Missed The First Time
There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for The Last of Us Season 2 and The Last of Us Part II video game!
1. First, Dina (Isabela Merced) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) searching for supplies in the pharmacy is something directly from the game. While playing The Last of Us Part II, gamers search through rooms, buildings, etc, to find items to craft weapons and more.
2. Notably, Dina checks to see if there are any pills in a bottle, which is something you collect in the game as well, in order to upgrade various skills, like health, listening mode, and more.
3. The phramacy that Dina and Ellie are in is also a direct location from The Last of Us Part II.
4. The show titles this portion "Seattle Day One," which is something directly from the game, as Dina and Ellie start their journey into Seattle while tracking down Abby.
5. Dina and Ellie coming across the pride murals and flags in the street is something directly from the game as well, right down to them not knowing what the rainbows represent. In the game, Ellie and Dina also go into a queer bookstore after spotting the pride murals and flags.
6. The opening scene where Isaac (Jeffrey Wright) kills FEDRA agents is something added for the show; however, in the game, we do see FEDRA skeletons right when Ellie and Dina get to Seattle, like Ellie does in the episode.
7. Ellie mentions Apollo 1 while comparing the dead FEDRA agents to the members of the space mission. In the games, Ellie is obsessed with space, which is actually something Ashley Johnson, who voiced and did the motion capture for Ellie in the games, is obsessed with, too.

8. Just like in the game, the music store Dina and Ellie stumble into is called "Valiant Music Shop," and the logo for the store matches what is in the game, too.
9. And, Dina playing the drums while exploring downstairs is something that happens in the game, the longer a player explores the store.
10. When Ellie walks up the stairs, you can see a poster for Pearl Jam, which is also something Ellie sees while walking upstairs in The Last of Us Part II.
11. Ellie playing the guitar and singing "Take on Me" to Dina is a shot-for-shot recreation of a scene in the game. In the game, the scene is sometimes missed because it's not necessary to advance in the story.
12. When Ellie leaves the guitar behind, the shot mirrors a similar shot from later in the game.
13. The sweater that Isaac wears in this episode matches exactly what he wears in the game. Also, Jeffrey Wright did the voice and motion capture for Isaac in The Last of Us Part II, so he's reprising his role.
14. While interrogating the Seraphite, Isaac calls him a "Scar," which is something directly from the game. The W.L.F., who are the biggest enemies of the Seraphites, call them Scars, which they don't appreciate.
15. When Dina and Ellie enter the TV station, the W.L.F. bodies that are hung from the ceiling mirrors the same moment from the game.

16. The message written in blood on the wall from the Seraphites is a saying that Ellie and Dina encounter throughout Seattle on murals during The Last of Us Part II.
17. Ellie kills one of the W.L.F. members by stabbing him in the neck with her knife, which is something gamers do in order to complete a stealth kill.

18. Dina and Ellie running from a horde of infected and clickers in the abandoned metro tunnels in Seattle is a moment directly from the game.

19. When Ellie and Dina are trying to escape from the infected in the train car, Dina asks Ellie for a boost, and then she helps Ellie up through the emergency exit on the roof. In the game, Ellie and Dina boosting each other up happens consistently in order to climb over tall walls and more, in order to get to new locations.

20. The turnstile moment where Dina is almost bitten does happen in the game, except it's Ellie who is stuck and trying desperately to get through.

21. The theater that Ellie and Dina hide out in is directly taken from The Last of Us Part II, right to the look of the outside and inside of the building.

22. Dina finding out Ellie is actually immune happens differently in the game than the show, in that Ellie's mask cracks — in the game, they are dealing with airborne spores — and when Dina goes to take her mask off too, Ellie tells her she's immune.

23. In the game, Ellie and Dina actually have sex for the first time while hiding out in the blizzard in Eugene's grow room before they find out Joel and Tommy are missing, and ultimately before Joel's death. For the show, the couch moment between Ellie and Dina was split up between the "rate our kiss" moment in Episode 3 and the sex scene in Episode 4.
HBO / Naughty Dog / Via youtube.com
24. Ellie telling Dina about how the burn on her arm was originally a bite also happens in the game, but it happens earlier. It's also part of the couch/weed scene from before Joel is killed, and Dina doesn't know Ellie's immune at the time and thinks she's lying.
HBO / Naughty Dog / Via youtube.com
25. And finally, in The Last of Us Part II, Ellie has a much harsher reaction to Dina's pregnancy than she does in the show. In the game, she calls Dina a burden and wonders why she even accompanied her to Seattle.

Why The Last of Us Changed Key Scene in Season 2 Finale
The Last of Us' Season 2 finale featured several shocking deaths. One of the most talked-about scenes from the finale occurred in the aquarium. Ellie holds two of Abby's friends, Owen and a pregnant Mel, at gunpoint. When Owen reaches for a gun, Ellie shoots him dead. However, the bullet also strikes Mel in the neck. A horrified Ellie holds Mel as she and the baby die. Owen and Mel are also killed in the video game. However, there is another death that the show's creators did not include in the The Last of Us Season 2 finale In the game, Ellie first kills Alice the dog upon entering the aquarium. When the video game shifts to Abby's POV, gamers can play as Abby with Alice by her side. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin joked that since he killed dogs in his previous show, Chernobyl, he couldn't do it again for The Last of Us. 'You get one dog-murdering episode a lifetime,' Mazin said in a press conference via GamesRadar+. 'There are two cardinal rules in Hollywood. One, don't spend your own money. Two, don't kill the dog.' The real reason behind eliminating the dog's death revolved around live-action violence and how it comes off much worse than animation. 'We had a situation where a number of horrible things were happening,' Mazin said. 'Plus, because it's live-action, the nature of violence becomes much more graphic. It's more graphic. Because it's not like there's an animation between you and it; it's people. And it's very disturbing.' Co-showrunner Neil Druckmann also noted that the show already had a run of violent scenes, including Ellie's near-lynching on Seraphite Island, Owen's murder, and Mel's death. 'In our conversation, we're like, this is probably one too many,' Druckmann said about cutting Alice's death from the show. The Last of Us Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max. Originally reported by Dab Girolamo on SuperHeroHype. The post Why The Last of Us Changed Key Scene in Season 2 Finale appeared first on - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

‘The Last Of Us' Shot A Game-Accurate Ellie Fight They Didn't Use
The Last of Us In the wake of The Last of Us finale, more information continues to emerge, and it's not welcome news to fans. This time, it manages to upset a number of different camps. It's been revealed that The Last of Us shot a game-accurate version of (spoilers) the Mel, Owen and Ellie encounter, as some had theorized with previous set shots of the cast looking battered. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin confirmed a sequence had been shot but ultimately was not used because, well, here's his explanation via THR: It's a frustrating decision for several different groups who often don't align on much regarding the show: The Last of Us It's also inconsistent with the Ellie the show built, namely how there's a specific sequence where Ellie takes down a large man, seemingly establishing that she could have done this. But also, there's nothing that says Ellie needs to fist-fight here; she has a gun and she usually has a knife on her. But turning this into an accidental killing with no fight at all also takes away from who her character is supposed to be. This comes in the wake of podcast comments from Mazin that Abby is more 'capable' than Ellie, something that is again not demonstrated by the games. All of this adds up to the fact that an entirely new Ellie has been written for season 2, and seemingly for the rest of the show going forward, which is frustrating to almost anyone with a dog in this fight.
