Laura Bailey, who played the role of Abe Anderson in the last part of the American Part 2, believes that HBO has made the right call, changing several important points in TV adaptation.
Please note, the below we will be the spoiler for the last of us.
Earlier this week, the second case of our second season was broadcast. Although most of the time was made of an attack on Jackson, it was a special moment that left the series fans in shock: Joel’s death.
As the video game, based on it, played by HBO in Joel – Pedro Pascal – the new character Abe killed with a golf club, after a terrible and bloody beating. Although the reasons for killing Abbey’s Joel have not been explained in the game’s statement for longer, resulting in a surprising turning point for the players, HBO exhibitors have decided to change Abbey’s intentions from the beginning, deciding to change it.
The second series began with Catlin Dour’s Abe, in which the end of Season One was mourned over the loss of his fellow Fireflies after Joel’s crowd, and he vowed to kill him because of his actions. Now, Bailey has talked about the changes in the script, which says he believes he is a wise choice by exhibitors.
When it was leaked for the first time that Abe killed Joel in the last part 2, Bailey received an online abuse and death threatening to be aimed at himself and his son. “Whenever I went online, I just saw that death threats and threats of torture,” he said in a documentary behind the scenes, 2: Last year’s part 2, which was released in February last year.
Are talking with now DonkeyBailey says she feels that it was a good decision by the exhibitors to defy the audience for Joel’s fate before the event. “I think that’s why the HBO is doing what they are doing,” he said. “You’re ready for it.”
Bailey called his experiences with “a very difficult time” with an online abuse. “I knew it was going to be severe,” said the Abbey actress. I knew it was about to be controversial. “
“But I was still very excited to share it with the world, because I put a lot in this performance, and I was really proud of it. So to get They The reaction was really hard. I don’t think anyone has predicted what will be the result. I was not ready But I don’t think there was anyone in the team. “
Bailey confessed that there is still a part of it that is restless, Joel’s TV death will accelerate things once again, and that the matter has been “definitely calm” in five years since the first release of the American Part 2, “the game events are certainly not a riot.
Bailey revealed, “You know, anything is posted at any time (the last part of our Part 2), or at any time randomly post anything, at least one comment from someone.”
“And I don’t know honestly: Are these hundred people who keep commenting? And they will not just let go? This is one of the reasons I don’t really post on social media. I don’t want to say that I was afraid of it, because I don’t think it was like that.
Naughty Dogs and HBO have already confirmed that the last of us will return to the third season, Show Runner Craig Mazin said:
“We have approached Season Two with the purpose of making something that we can be proud of. The final results have also exceeded our most expensive goals.”
