HBO’s The Last of Us is set to take us on a grueling journey through a post-apocalyptic world filled with characters struggling to hold onto their humanity. It is, of course, based on the 2013 video game that essentially redefined interactive storytelling with its heartbreaking yet honest showcase of how relationships evolve in the face of tragedy and despair. Though as dense and complex as the characters and storylines in The Last of Us were, it’d be foolish to believe the live-action adaptation coming in 2023 will be a shot-for-shot remake of the game.
