series Last of us is one of the most successful in recent years and shows that it is possible to adapt a video game as a TV series or film, even taking out licenses for the original title.
And the fact is that the series, while often retracing scenes as they happened in the game, includes others or changes some parts to make the story cohesive in this new format. One of the most commented on is how the fungus spreads, and the creators have explained why this happens.
The difference between Cordyceps in the series and the game
In a video game Last of us year 2013, cordyceps mushrooms, that exist in real life are spread by spores, so survivors must wear masks to cover their faces while walking.
In the series, however, this is not the case, and the mushrooms are connected by a kind of network that the rest of the infected can feel (in real life they also exist, but for the exchange of nutrients). To infect new ones, they bite them to expand their roots.
Neil Druckmann, the creator of the game and an active contributor to the series, explained why this change was made.
“The series takes a more realistic approach to the history of the world. If we want to be realistic about this, and there is controversy, the characters will have to wear gas masks all the time, and in this way we will lose a lot of what is important in this journey, what is happening in their eyes, in their souls, in their people. For this reason, we decided to find another vector,” he notes.
The fungal webs added to the series cause a change in the user’s fear, because if you encounter an infected in one part of the city, others in other places will also be able to react.
New Level of Fear: The Kiss
In this connection, Druckmann also spoke of [SPOILERS] a kiss that Tess receives from an infected person before blowing up the entire museum.
In these images, which are very uncomfortable for the viewer, the infected person extends its tentacles through its mouth in a “friendly” way, without the need to kill them directly.
“We wanted these things to feel connected, to attack like a mass. But we also wanted to change how it happens. [el hongo] from one person to another, and it got a little unsettling,” he says.
