DISCLAIMER: MASSIVE SPOILERS
for The Last of Us (2013)
and The Last of Us Part II (2020)

What happens when someone changes your work for the better, and it becomes a worldwide hit? Do you preserve that work's integrity? Or go back and change everything to fit your original plan?

In the decade since the release of "The Last of Us" in 2013, Neil Druckmann has made a fascinating villain of himself in the videogame world; committed so completely to his vision, that he'll remake, reboot, and replace anything that falls outside of it. Even if that includes the original Director of the game that made him famous, and the "Uncharted" series creator who made production on "The Last of Us" possible at Naughty Dog in the first place.

Touching on interviews, articles, and hours of gameplay footage over the past decade, we explore two major plot points championed by Druckmann that "The Last of Us" Director Bruce Straley, tried to save us from.

Whether you're a die-hard Part II fan, or never heard of "The Last of Us," it is our hope that this video is entertaining, and offers a contrast to the public dialogue surrounding "The Last of Us" and its ever changing narrative.

Nos vemos.
