Before the end of season two, fans of The last of us Known that Jesse (Young Mazino) voted against Ellie’s quest to take revenge over Joel’s murderers.

According to ScreenrantThe producers, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, opened to Jesse’s decision and his disagreements with Ellie on several topics, which is far from the game where he had a relaxed relationship with her.

Neil opinated, “I wouldn’t describe him that way in the game. I think in our conversations about how Jesse voted we both under the same kind of perception, yes, he would vote to protect Jackson.”

“Because Jesse is more about the larger society, at least the society he belongs to, not the society of humanity, than about the individual or again, this persecution of justice to just think for the more practical characters, very impractical, as very unnecessary,” he said.

“There is some overlap there between Jesse and Joel because I believe in similar circumstances, Joel would have voted in the same way.”

Similarly, his co-showrunner, Craig, “I loved how much of an Eagle Scout Jesse was, and I loved how in the show we make a little more of an appointment. I mean, put him on the council and all that, but we make a bigger agreement that Jesse is considered the heir.”

Given Jesse being trained to manage Jackson, the producer said, “He will be Mary one day; he will run all this. And of course it makes us admire him. It makes us want to be like him.”

“He has it as the ideal person, unlike Ellie, who rolls around in the shabby material of her own fears and impulses.”

“But what I love about this last episode, and especially the moment when Ellie and Jesse confront each other when she finds out how he voted, she makes a point that I think is so solid that I’m starting to think, oh, yes, another hero goes because she’s right,” Showrunner said.

Craig explained how the characters’ morals collide with each other, said Craig, “it’s not that what she’s doing is right, but his belief that he is moral is so challenging, and it is so arbitrary that I am moral and sincere and sacrifice for people as long as they are on the inside of this tree fence.”

“But if they are out of the tree fence, I just want to let them die, even if they are a child. And I love that because no one in life is really an Eagle Scout except for the actual Eagle Scout.”

Season to’s final of The last of us has been sent. The production of season 3 is expected to begin in June 2025.
