So many game-to-movie adaptations have been, well… disappointing. But The Last of Us was solid! Do you think Hollywood is finally figuring it out, or was that just a lucky hit?
Right?! The Last of Us actually gave me hope for game adaptations! I think the key was that they stayed true to the story while adding just enough depth to make it work for TV. But let’s be real—Hollywood has fumbled so many times (coughAssassin’s Creedcough), so I’m not convinced they’ve fully cracked the code yet. Hopefully, this is a sign of better things to come, but I’m bracing for more hits and misses!
The Last of Us definitely raised the bar, but most adaptations still struggle to capture what makes the games special. It seems like studios are finally putting more effort into storytelling, though—hopefully, it’s a sign of better things to come!
