The Last of Us showrunners reveal the "boring" original idea for the premiere’s opening
"It was a little bit liꦰke we’re in social studies class"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us showrunners have outl꧙ined their original "boring" idea for the premiere’s first moments – and why we got theಞ surprising cold open instead.
While we eve⭕ntually got a scene from a '60s fictional television panel involving epidemiologists debating the perils of a world-ending fungal infection, the first idea was based 🍨on a video from a BBC documentary.
. "The first time I pitched it, [co-showrunner Neil Druckmann] was like 'ehh' – or we can do the video. It’s Planet Earth, , how it takes over an ant. It tells you everything you need to know. What we decided to do was make our own video like that."Mazin said it was "interesting, but not necessarily compelli൩ng", with Druckmann being more br🥀utal, describing it as "boring."
"It was a little boring to watch. It was a little bi𝓡t like we’re in social studies class,” Mazin joked. "I had written this [other] thing early as if I had found a transcript of an old Dick Cavett from 1969. I remember showing it to Neil and he was like, 'This is a little weiꦜrd.'"
Mazin continued, "We’re about 3-4 weeks away fr൲om wrapping… and I am not thrilled with this opening. I sent it to [Neil] again and this time he was like ‘ooh!’"
