The Last of Us: Predicting Season 2

The key will undoubtedly be how Season 2 begins, deals with the story’s intriguing incidents, and keeps viewers connected to the plot’s two leads, Ellie and Abby. My best idea of ​​how to do this is to take Abby, a character who was barely explored until the second half of the game, in the first half, led by Ellie, by creating an existing bond between them. Abby was able to infiltrate Jackson’s community and befriend Joel weeks before his revenge. It’s something that seems to play with the idea that some will work.

I also make use of a series of cold-open flashbacks that tease the story of young Abby, with brief openings to each of Netflix’s Mindhunter episodes revealing that the mysterious man we’re watching will become a BTK killer. Just like you do… a zebra. These glimpses of Abby’s background eventually revealed that Joel was the man who killed his father at the end of season one, and the second season of the show the game offered at the halfway point. Allowing you to end up with the same important twist as the .
