Without mutual interaction, Else Williams, who knows the last American sports, will never become the same person who appeared on the television screen on Sunday night. But to Season 2 of HBO’s time The last of us It has come to an end, it is clear that the TV version of the sports immune teenager is not just an alternative interpretation. The role of the sports belonging to the sports has been blamed, and the show is bad for that.
Despite a long list of differences between sports and Craig Mazin and Nile Dickman’s screen adaptation, it can be expected because of the first hope. In Season 1, The last of us In the Teen Rebellion, Eli made a conviction for Eli. Eli’s TV version (played by Bella Ramsey) was relatively defective and ignorant, but when the show started, he was only 14 years old. And I had no objection to the fact that Eli’s game version was compromised, as some changes were positive. For example, the show has made a place for Eli’s sexuality from the beginning, while sports fans may not realize that Eli is gay unless the downloadable content for the Base 2013 game has not arrived a year after launch.
I The last part of us 2Eli’s role arc takes a sharp turn. Many years after the first game events, we meet a tough version of the character that has been molded into the image of his guardian and father’s data. She shows the sparkle of the gambling, especially when the game introduces her romance with Dina, which the partner has survived. But, including Joel’s death, faces horrific events in which players are left with Stoke Eli. If he is emotional, it is an anger with anger that only makes him angry because of his obsession with revenge. Complex and, above all, is a killer.

On the contrary, the show’s season 2 offers to carry one on Eli, which best does infinite, and the worst negatives. She comes like childish and ignorant, especially the way she handles her relationship. She certainly has the ability to kill. But where other people try to be reasonable and cautious, how they plan to survive in a dangerous situation, Eli is ruled by continuity. She will endanger everyone that she will only remove her wrath, and she fights for no reason.
With the argument, there is something arrogant about the idea of one person who is trying to go against a whole army of people who are surrounded by all zombies, as is shown another game. But Eli is the daughter of Joel, at least with the soul. Joel was a kind of man who, even after the unarmed chapter, could have caused grass to a whole hospital full of soldiers. When Eli Games take risks, they are calculated. There is no guarantee when she decides to hunt Joel’s killer, Abbey, she will succeed. But this possibility seems to be quite solid that it justifies the militants to take the entire faction of it.
On the other hand, Eli, in Season 2 of the show, wandered the way to Seattle. It has the left and right -close calls, but they do not come as a real life in the enmity world, because of the lack of distant and capable of ability. At one point near the end of the season, Eli once again left himself to track Abbey, and immediately. He died nearby. Dina looks like a more capable soldier than Eli: Dina can make positions on map and planning routes, but in this show, Eli is presented with her bone tag.
This direction for Eli’s role is particularly irrelevant when his back -story on the show is that he is being trained to become a Fedra leader. It is confused that the operation is not bad to find Eli Ebie: If anything, it is the biggest responsibility of the mission. The moments where they and they are in deep trouble are always due to Eli’s decision. In an example in Season 2, Eli puts pressure to enter the place she knows that the zombies are affected, and – surprised! – Immediately withdraws immediately through extraordinary smart insids. The fibables are so widely that the very basic basis of the story – Eli is trying to avenge Joel’s death despite the unpleasant difficulties – it becomes absolutely incredible.

We control sports in place of cold blood killers, this show makes us a small picture of Eli. The show has a lot of time to focus on Dina’s pregnancy, and the whole scenes in the game are dedicated to moments, such as seeing Eli picking a book for the baby. This could have been a healthy change, but the show’s writing does not remove it. For example, the scene where Eli said he was about to become a father, for example, not touching: performance is strange.
Later, when Eli mistakenly shot Abbie’s friend Mail, the role is begging to be begging to protect her child from the emergency C section. In sports, Eli does not realize that he is pregnant after he dies. Adaptation makes a dark scene, but in a reactionary story, the two women focus more on that the child’s child can be saved than the life of the mail.
Possibly, Mazin and Neil Durkman encouraged these narrative changes in the service of the establishment of more clear family topics. The show has only the time to abuse Joel’s childhood and show his relationship with his father, and when he dies, Eli has to consider how to run his father’s inheritance. But there is no way about the fact that Joel’s legacy is violence. That is why Eli is primarily a killer in sports, and why she encourages Abbie to hunt in the first place. The important thing that Joel taught Eli is the importance of being the effect of power, even at the cost of your own happiness.
Eli is barely cares about the child’s child, however, that mothers are likely to be decisive about the method of raising their children. Although the show engages with children and maternity, it does not present parentalism as a way to develop an adult for Eli. If anything, when she repeatedly shows little concern to protect someone, her new concern to build her family emerges as a clutch and clutch.
In the interviews, the changes in the role of Mazin and Dirkman Eli justify the ways that they see in sports, yet they clearly consider it less. For example, in the show, Eli killed both Mail and Owen in a massive accident. In sports, the deaths are so deliberate that the player is presented with a quick time event that needs to meh the button to ensure Eli slices from the mail’s neck. Why make a change? According to Mazin, the reason for this is that it is not realistic to compete with both Eli Mail and Owen.

“You see Bella and see you (Owen actor) Spencer Lord, it is 6’4, and is just incredibly imposed,” Mazin said. Hollywood reporter. “The physical struggle was not going to be good, and (Eli) is not there to kill them. She just wants to kill Abbey.”
The more fun shows describes the process of thinking behind ways to get out of sports, it seems as if the author did not consider Eli as a character. And this basic misconception cannot give rise to a compulsory interpretation that is removed from the source content. I Podcast Error of Mazen Season 2 End of 2“Abbie is apparently not like Eli, Abbie is incredibly capable,” he said. Except that The last part of us 2 About the horrific proportion of Eli’s violence. At one point, the game also turns out the vision and forces players to try to avoid Eli’s anger. This is the most difficult and terrifying part of the game.
Personally, I didn’t need Eli in HBO’s The last of us To become a precise person offered in sports. What will happen? Thanks to the remosts, some of us have already played the game twice. If anything, a different move on Eli is a welcome idea for a series that is connected to overseas.
In the 2025 dice summit, Dirkman shared a conversation with the series co -star Pedro Pascal, who was disappointed with the direction of Dirkman in the show. As Dirkman missesPascal asked him, “Do you like art?”
After the end, it is attractive to read Pascal’s question as a crime as a whole. The direction of the show comes as if the fun and Dirkman are afraid to trust that their audience will be acceptable to a woman who is a cold blood murderer. It will not be reliable. But it seems that by the idea of making their flexible TV, they need to turn their main character into a childish amateur, and in doing so, the show has given rise to the real story.
