In an interview withThe Hollywood ReporterIf the-last-of-us producer Craig Mazin is asked about the connection of the two battles and reveals that he was from the battle of Game of Thronesgained a very important knowledge.

As a fan of throne, I naturally remember that I saw "Hartheim", but I didn't pay attention to how complicated and impressive the story was. What I remember was how moving and important were the things that happened within the action [from Hartheim]. [...] The despair, the total loss.

That is our understanding of action. What is the meaning of the matter? When building this sequence [in the Last of Us Season 2] we were very ambitious because we wanted to show how bad it could be. But the question was always: why? What is this about, what changes, and what does that mean for our people in the future?

So it's all about thatEmotions that are transported during the fightAnd that each action scene also has a deeper reason (with large consequences).
