The Last Of Us

Summary

HBO ’s adaptation of Naughty Dog’sThe Last of Usvideo secret plan made some change and answered some theories , but with season 2 confirmed , there are a few others it can validate or confute . telecasting biz adaptations are often a smash or miss , andThe Last of Usshows that it can be faithful without being a direct written matter . The positive vital and fan reception of the series is grounds of this .

Interestingly , some of the changes to the show answered theory the games did n’t explore . For instance , Ellie ’s unsusceptibility originsare explicate inThe Last of Us ' time of year 1 finis , with her mother being sting while pregnant , and the substantiation of the fungus infection spreading is via contaminated flour . While these answer major infection questions , a few expected topics based on the games and broaderLast of Usuniverse possibility should still be addressed in season 2 and beyond .

8The Hive Mind Mythos In The Last Of Us Show Makes The Worst Infected Unbeatable

The Rat King from The Last Of Us Part II is singular but formidable.

SinceThe Last of Usseason 1 connected the contraction and spread of the contagion to consume contaminate flour - base foods , being bitten , or exchanging spittle , the theme that everyone is slenderly infect may be less likely . However , the hive brain approach or else of airborne spores might be even more terrific than the approximation of torpid infection , since it amplifies the infected terror because of their link supposedly through cognizance . The second biz ’s Rat King is already a hive nous of sorts because it ’s made up of multiple types of infectedall melded together .

Adding the show ’s mythos would theoretically mean the Rat King could incite more infected to link in on attacking Abby . In the TV format , it ’s much more implausible for one homo - even one as potent as Abby - to take down the Rat King in addition to legion other taint while in a sectioned off arena . Additionally , the special effects alone would make this fight a Brobdingnagian project that could add to the complaints about the confine infect since it might call for much of the budget to go into only one infected .

The Last of Us became an crying success for HBO , despite a few minor septic charge . time of year 2 promises to fix those problems with all haste .

Pedro Pascal as Joel lookoing concernedly at Bella Ramsey as Ellie in The Last of Us TV series.

7The Fireflies Wanted To Control The Cure

This theory suggests the Fireflies had more sinister plans for Ellie.

While Joel thwartedThe Last of Us ' Fireflies , who planned to useEllie ’s immunityas a way to reverse - engineer a cure , there ’s no confirmed issue of how the mathematical group would ’ve handled having this cure . If the Fireflies successfully achieve a remedy or vaccinum , it would right away give them much more office . Having the noesis of how to produce a vaccinum for the infection could be more misanthropic than it seems . The Fireflies have already shown an power to command regions with their bombing of FEDRA areas . With a vaccine , the Fireflies could curb hoi polloi more easilybecause a curative or vaccine would be a sought - after commodity .

6Abby’s Immune In The Last Of Us (And Jerry Knows)

Abby’s potential immunity adds to the complexity of Joel saving Ellie.

If Abby were immune , Jerry would know she would have to die during the operation , make Joel ’s action oddly align with the sawbones he kill . This is lay out up when Marlene repeatedly asks Jerry if he ’d be so willing to go through with the surgery if Abby were in Ellie ’s shoes , and he avoids answering . While this is supposition , it is worth unpacking since it adds an even deeper bed to the causes of revenge and choler that thematically make up much of the second game ’s account . With little else to go on , the TV series can address Abby ’s status while also spread out on the mythos behind the infection .

As the casting for Abby in The Last of Us time of year 2 ramp up , one candidate originally lover - throw away as Ellie presents herself as the gross choice ,

5There’s No Cure In The Last Of Us

Despite the Fireflies' planned surgery for Ellie, it’s not confirmed it would work.

Much like some theories on this list , the operating theatre planned for Ellie being a successful way to create a vaccinum is speculative . Even if they had gone through with Ellie ’s OR , perhaps the chemical sense organ that relay to the infected that she has theCordyceps fungus infectioncan’t be sever from a living being for be good . Perhaps the elements of the sensory receptor that make her immune ca n’t be modified or duplicate into a vaccinum . Becausethere ’s never been exploration of the effectiveness of a operating theater like this , since Ellie would necessitate to become flat to recover out , the show can direct it by introducing other immune character .

4Multiple People Could Be Immune Like Ellie In The Last Of Us

The series introduced a potential way to create immunity.

Fans have often speculated that the hazard of one individual in the whole world being resistant is questionable . With the adjustment noting Ellie ’s immunity was due to her mother being bite and giving birth before the infection distribute , there ’s a clear sign thatother baby could ’ve been delivered under similar circumstances . While still very specific in condition , it removes the more mystical idea that Ellie is the only presuppose savior of mankind by luck . Even if there ’s a circumscribed few other resistant multitude in the apocalypse , season 2 can address this . This is utile , particularly because the root of Ellie ’s immunity was only establish in the time of year 1 finale .

The Last of Us time of year 2 stamp has n’t yet been confirm , but several key characters are certain to revert along with some challenging young gain .

3Ellie’s Final Scene At The Farm In The Last Of Us Part II Was Her Last Visit

Clues suggest Ellie may have already moved back to Jackson before the final cutscene.

Ellie ’s takings to the farm inThe Last of Us Part IIsuggests she was n’t surprised to incur the house empty , but rather just reminiscent , indicating it was likely not her first sojourn there since Santa Barbara , where she spared Abby . There are otherclues that paint a picture Ellie had already reconcile with Dina after leaving to pursue retaliation , and she returned to Jacksonafter her affray with Abby .

These include some overleap Dina and JJ artwork , most of the studio particular relating to Joel , the season seeming the same ( suggest about a class has passed ) , Ellie leaving behind reminders of Joel ( like the guitar ) , and Ellie don Dina ’s bracelet again . These suggest Ellie ’s summons of grief moved toward credence , and she in all probability summarize her life with her better half and JJ , even facing Jackson , which is a admonisher of Joel . Although perhaps more for a possible time of year 3 , this hypothesis can be addressed if time of year 2 follows similar non - one-dimensional storytelling as the game .

There ’s been tons of bombination about the importance of throw off a perfect Abby in The Last of Us season 2 , but swan this TLOU2 lineament is also crucial .

2The Seraphite Prophet’s Death Was A Power Play By The WLF

There are a lot of untold stories about different groups, like the Seraphites and the WLF.

It ’s established inThe Last of Us Part IIthat the Seraphite Prophet was all about egalitarian living and peacefulness . However , the direct cause of her death is not explicitly explored . fortunately , it ’s been teased that untold side account could seem in subsequent seasons of the television adaptation , such as the Seraphite Prophet ’s story . Although the WLF and Seraphite disputes are already clear from the second plot , it ’s plausible they might have had an amicable arrangement about territory . There seems to be a geographic boundarysince the growing Seraphite numbers leave in a split between the island and the Lower Queen Anne suburb , suggesting an agreement about territories .

However , given the WLF leader Isaac ’s ruthlessness , it ’s possible the Prophet ’s dying was a world power bid . There ’s no account as to why the Prophet was targeted , specifically , so it ’s possible she was adopt to prove a pointthat any violence against them can be returned tenfold . to boot , the WLF showed sadistic pleasure in their execution and torture , which indicates that they had multi - superimposed baleful motive . This is further support by some Wolves , who were interrogate the WLF ’s approach , and defected to the Seraphites .

The Last of Us season 2 will play along the tale of The Last of Us Part II , mean several exciting characters from the latter will make their idiot box launching .

1The Surviving Fireflies Haven’t Been Able To Restart Because of The Rattlers

The Last of Us Part II introduced Firefly survivors.

Some surviving Fireflies are on Catalina Island , which would require a boat trip , thus isolating them . However , given how easily Abby and Lev were taken by the Rattlers , preclude them from continuing their mission , it ’s potential other people who came to the 2425 Constance Firefly outpost were ambushed and kept as slaves . The Last of Usseason 2 can search this as it ’s a major hint to why the Fireflies have n’t re-start their functioning in a more widespread manner as before . This could also immingle the video and biz world as it potentially would place up points for a third game .

The Last of Usseason 2 is expected to premiere in 2025 .
