He’s right. I watched maybe an hour of the last of us before shutting it off and going yeah this is hot garbage Hollywood ruined this for me. I got so much hate from all of the shows fans for saying it sucked and they ruined the game by making really bad decisions to make the show more exciting or whatever. Then season 2 came out and people realized it was as bad as I was making it out to be. You have to stay true to the original IP if not what’s the point of making it. You can still do spin off shit like you want to but not if it changes the story or the characters from what/who they were in the game

The Last of Us Season 1 was a fantastic adaptation, and a bad example of what he's talking about. They had writers from Naughty Dog working with them, it was very faithful to the game and the liberties they took where they strayed from the game's story were fantastic television. You don't know that because you only watched for one hour. That it didn't work as well for season two doesn't suddenly make you right about season one.
