'The Last of Us' Season 2, Episode 2: The Gamer Guide | Button Mash

In a Game of Thrones kind of way, where it's either Ned Stark in season one or the Red Wedding or whatever it was that really contributed to the mystique of the show and helped make it such a sensation that it could have those moments and you never knew what was going to happen next. Or...

Could it be something that backfires in almost a Walking Dead way where everyone other than me stopped watching The Walking Dead soon after Glenn's brutal murder? I am still somehow watching Walking Dead. Dead City season two comes out soon. I will never be free. But I keep catching myself calling the infected walkers also. It's tempting.

From my many years of Walking Dead watching and also white walkers, which was hard to avoid in this episode in particular. But... Do you think there will be a backlash or will it be the opposite of that? It'll be like, oh, they went there. Okay, now I really got to pay attention to what comes next.

Yeah, that was the season seven premiere of The Walking Dead. Yeah. Sorry to anyone who just got spoiled about Glenn dying, but I think statute of limitations on spoilers for that has passed. But I think because that was much deeper into the show's run, maybe people were looking for an excuse to get off the bandwagon if they hadn't already. And then it was just so gratuitous. Yeah.

And I think that they maybe took pains not to do that this time. Not that it wasn't brutal. It absolutely was. But it was maybe slightly less dark and kind of hyper violent in some ways than the game was. We can talk about that. But I think they were conscious of that.

Like, look, people like Joel and people like Pedro Pascal, and we don't want to bash his brains in in the way that Glenn's brains were bashed in and also video game Joel's brains were bashed in. Yeah. Because then we might actually turn people off. So I... I kind of wonder whether that came up in conversation or whether they had that in mind.

Like you can push people, but don't go too far or they might turn on you. But I think I'm with you that they did not cross that line and that if anything, it will only enhance interest.
