HBO's The Last Of Us series is criticized by The Office star Rainn Wilson for a perceived “anti-Christian bias” regarding the violent preacher David.
The Office star Rainn Wilson recently criticized HBO's The Last of Us for an anti-Christian bias. The popular live-action video game adaptation focuses on the relationship between weathered survivor Joel and Ellie as they traverse across a post-apocalyptic United States to the Fireflies, a revolutionary faction that intends to save the world.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Wilson recently took to social media to criticize The Last of Us for a perceived anti-Christian bias. The actor used the popular HBO series and its character David as an example of a perpetual Hollywood stereotype that portrays "Bible-reading" preachers as "horrific" villains. After the tweet gained traction in the news, Wilson clarified that he is not Christian and wanted to point out a trope in cinema that he believes should not exist.
Although Wilson pointed out the existence of the trope in The Last of Us, it appears the show's use of David simply sparked the actor to share his irritation with it in Hollywood. However, series co-creator and writer Craig Mazin previously discussed David and his community in the show's official podcast, explaining how he believes theocracies are often a "terrible" system of rule compared to one of secular law.
HBO's The Last of Us makes no statement regarding the Christian faith. However, Mazin and Druckmann's views on organized religion, specifically used as a system of control, spilled onto the page when writing the series. With The Last of Us Part II set to be adapted for season 2, audiences will have more to discuss regarding religion if one of the game's primary antagonistic fundamentalist groups is brought over to the series.
