Bella Ramsey was asked about the online criticism The Last Of Us season 2 received on Entertainment Weekly’s The Awardist podcast.
“I tried to steer clear as much as I could, to be honest,” Ramsey said. “Because there’s nothing I can do about it anyway. The show is out. There’s nothing that can be changed or altered. So I’m like, there’s not really any point in reading or looking at anything.
“People are of course entitled to their opinions. But it doesn’t affect the show, it doesn’t affect how the show continues or anything in any way. They’re very separate things to me. So no, I just don’t really engage.”
Ramsey was then asked what they would tell the “louder critics” of Season 2 going into Season 3. “I would say, you don’t have to watch it,” Ramsey responded. “If you hate it that much, the game exists. You can just play the game again. You don’t have to watch it, but if you do want to watch it, then I hope you enjoy it.”
ONTD, will you be watching season 3?
