Season 2 of The Last of Us on HBO features a discussion between Kyle and Andrew. They reflect on the show's transition away from Joel, noting the lack of vital scenes that established the relationship, particularly the pivotal porch scene. This absence is influencing their overall enjoyment of the season, as the main character dynamics are considered crucial to what made the first game compelling. Despite the tension of Ellie's character potentially spinning lies, it raises concerns about narrative direction.
Kyle: Yeah, I've said here in the past how the core Ellie/Joel relationship was key to my enjoyment of the first game. Its absence gently soured me on the second game and is starting to do the same for the second season.
Anyone who's played the game knows how central "the porch scene" is to recontextualizing the relationship between these two characters before they are parted forever.
