The Last of Us television adaptation achieved major success after its 2023 debut but season two faced review-bombing and homophobic comments online. The series follows Ellie Williams and Joel Miller in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a fungal infection that transforms victims into zombie-like creatures. Season two aired earlier this year, earned several Emmy nominations, and featured a finale with three shocking character deaths. The season's portrayal of Ellie's same-sex relationship with Dina generated backlash from some viewers. Bella Ramsey recommended avoiding engagement with online criticism and suggested detractors play the original game if they prefer.
Because there's nothing I can do about it anyway. The show is out. There's nothing that can be changed or altered. So I'm like, there's not really any point in reading or looking at anything," Ramsey said. "People are of course entitled to their opinions. But it doesn't affect the show, it doesn't affect how the show continues or anything in any way. They're very separate things to me. So no, I just don't really engage.
You don't have to watch it. If you hate it that much, the game exists. You can just play the game again. If you do want to watch it, hope you enjoy it.
