Co-creator, Craig Mazin, shared that the hit HBO show nearly wrapped up differently than the game.
HBO’s hit series “The Last of Us” wrapped up its first season last Sunday, but it almost finished off with a totally different vibe, according to the show’s co-creator., co-creator Craig Mazin revealed he and director Ali Abbasi were “playing around” with a lengthier and more dejected ending between Joel and Ellie .The series, based on the 2013 video game, tells the story of the pair’s journey through a post-apocalyptic world where a fungus turns humans into ravenous flesh-eating monsters.
On the other hand, the surgery would kill her in the process as it would require removing and replicating the Cordyceps that have been in her brain since birth.Fans of the popular game should be familiar with its controversial ending that sparked debate since its debut a decade ago, in which Joel makes the life-changing decision to save Ellie at humanity’s expense, killing anyone in the Firefly hospital who stood in his way.
“[Abbasi] had this thought of just playing out this slightly longer, sadder version where Ellie says, ‘okay,’ and then she turns and walks away. And Joel looks after her. We see the two of them walking, not really together but apart, down towards Jackson. It lingers and then fades. There was something beautiful about it,” Mazin told GQ.
