‘The Last of Us’ showrunner Craig Mazin explained why they made small changes to Ellie and David’s relationship for the show.
One of the more interesting tweaks made during the eighth episode of The Last of Us on HBO involved the relationship and dynamics between Ellie and David , the cannibalistic predatory preacher she encounters.
While attempting to hunt for both food and medicine to help the stricken Joel , who is still out of commission following a stabbing he received - at the hands of David's scavengers, as it turns out - two episodes prior, Ellie shoots a buck and tails it, leading her to David and his right hand man James .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the game, not long after Ellie and David first encounter each other, Ellie lets her guard down when David assists her during a shootout with the infected. For a "zombie show", The Last of Us has kept the undead at arms' length - it's never been about them to begin with.
He's making Ellie feel like she's in control the whole time. He's already attracted to her - she was involved in killing. He's a master manipulator, but he's in control the entire time. Everything at that point was about the world shrinking down to two people in David and Ellie. David is carefully creating a circumstance where Ellie will lean forward, he won't pull her but he will make her want to be curious.
The Last of Us concludes on Sunday, March 12 on HBO and HBO Max at 9pm. Check out the trailer for the season finale down below.
