from HBO is imminent. She brings another new person with it that we im-Spiele has not yet seen: Joel goes to a therapist. Why this is so obvious, but Neil Druckmann still has further explanations.
The Last of Us Season 2: Neil Druckmann explains why Joel goes into therapy - apart from the obvious reasons
That's what it's about:If you go in a world like that of The Last of Us, you actually have enough good reasons to get help in therapy. Joel has from his historyAnd especially the end of the end, much more, but that's not all.
In conversation with IGNHas the Game Director Neil Druckmann, which is directly integrated into the film adaptation, gave another reason for Joel's therapy:
"The reason why he goes to therapy is that he wants to find out why Ellie shows him his cold shoulder. And he does not really admit the truth of what is going on with the real reasons for what happens."
Also in the games?The game maker is asked whether he believes that Joel would have gone into therapy in the games without seeing that, so to speak, offscreen.
"I think if he had had the opportunity and gave it a way to connect with Ellie again - because that is his greatest motivation, everything that drives him is Ellie - then he would have done it."
But the whole thing also has meta reasons:The showrunner of the Last of US series wanted to expand life in Jackson and the community even further. Above all, the question was exciting how the figure of the Eugene and the existence of a therapist in Jackson could have an impact.
More news is available here:
Joel's therapist is embodied in the series by a well -known actress.Skin's Creek and Kevin alone at home star Catherine O'Hara slips into the role of the Gail. She lives in Jackson and is the woman of Eugene, whom you can know more from the games.
Eugene is never correctly shown in the Last of Us Part 2, but mentioned several times. The actor Joe Pantoliano, known from The Sopranos and Matrix, plays him in the series.
What do you think of removing smaller minor characters and the introduction of completely new roles? Are you looking forward to season 2?
