In a recent interview, Ramsey stated that she doesn’t read too much into the negative comments circulating on social media. While emphasizing that the harsh criticism of the series has nothing to do with her personal decisions, she urged viewers to adopt a more constructive approach. “If you hate it that much, you don’t have to watch it. The game already exists; you can go play it again,” she said, clearly demonstrating that the creative team stands by their decisions.
Ramsey’s remarks are a direct response to the frequent debates surrounding the adaptation of The Last of Us. The series remains faithful to the source material while simultaneously making some changes to enhance the dramatic impact. While this may be negative for some viewers, Ramsey maintains that the series offers a different experience.
Despite the controversial developments in the second season, the series received high critical acclaim. While the series boasts a 91 Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, review-bombing attempts have led to a drop to 31 percent on the Popcornmeter. This difference highlights how polarizing online reactions can be.
Around the same time as Ramsey’s statements, plans for a third season were also raised. It was announced that the series would focus on Abby, with Craig Mazin serving as sole showrunner. Thus, Ramsey’s remarks shed new light not only on the current season debates but also on expectations for the series’ future.
