Last of Us Creator Addresses Fans’ Backlash Over Joel’s Fate
series creator has a harsh reminder for fans regarding Pedro Pascal.
In conversation with Craig Mazin, the creator of ‘The Last of Us‘ streaming series, discussed the challenging task of continuing the series’ narrative in Season 2, specifically dealing with the death of lead character Joel, portrayed by Pedro Pascal. “He made a move. Everyone was shocked, and then I had to make that same move again, because he did.
In response to the question, Mazin humorously clarified that despite the intense portrayal of Joel’s death in episode 2 of The Last of Us Season 2, Pedro Pascal himself, who plays Joel, is very much alive and active in other projects.
In 2023, the television show “The Last of Us,” inspired by the game series developed by Naughty Dog, made its debut. This series was widely acclaimed by both critics and viewers, who viewed it as a remarkable demonstration of what can be accomplished with video game adaptations. The second season aired earlier this year and significantly altered the established norms. Among other things, Joel’s unexpected death early in the season marked a dramatic shift in the show’s focus, and an eerie assault set the stage for the developments expected in Season 3.
What Will The Last of Us Season 3 Be About?
Following the conclusion of Joel and Ellie’s narratives, “The Last of Us” Season 3 will spotlight Kaitlyn Dever’s character, Abby, as the main protagonist. The closing scenes of Season 2 finale transported viewers to “Day One” in Seattle, suggesting that this is where Ellie embarked on her well-known quest for vengeance. Previously, Mazin stated, “There remains another facet to this tale that we haven’t thoroughly explored yet. It’s undeniable that Abby is the hero of her own story. Kaitlyn Dever is always the star of a story… All I can disclose is that it will continue to focus on someone, whether it’s Ellie and Dina or Abby and her connection with Owen, or new relationships.
The Last of Us is currently available for streaming on HBO Max.
