The Last Of Us Episode 6 Filming Mistake Exposes A Game Of Thrones Hypocrisy
The Last of Us episode 6 filming mistake exposes a double standard regarding Game of Thrones. In "Kin," the show's "Winter" chapter begins, following the original game as Joel and Ellie traverse a wintry terrain to reach Jackson, where Joel's brother resides. Nevertheless, an unintended error detracts from this storyline progression.
Brilliant episode. Something you might want to fix and reupload though. You can see the film crew in this shot. pic.twitter.com/GZ9Pp6AknL

Despite its record-breaking success and critical acclaim, The Last of Us season 1 is not immune to mistakes. Recently, @stjguitarist tweeted to The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann about a visible crew in an overhead shot during Joel and Ellie's bridge-crossing scene in episode 6. This error draws comparisons to Game of Thrones season 8, episode 4's infamous coffee cup, but the responses to the two blunders are starkly different.
#1. The Last Of Us Episode 6's Mistake Reaction Shows GOT's Was Too Intense

The differing reactions to the Game of Thrones coffee cup and The Last of Us crew mistake highlight a clear contrast, suggesting that Game of Thrones viewers were perhaps overly critical. In season 8, episode 4, the coffee cup was spotted on a table in Winterfell during a shot of Daenerys, quickly becoming a worldwide joke on social media. Some blamed the dark lighting of the episode for the oversight.
Although the coffee cup in the final season of Game of Thrones was digitally removed, it remains one of the most memorable things about the show. Despite this, there has been little response to a similar mistake in The Last of Us, where a crowd of people is out of place in the game's wilderness. Both instances break the fourth wall of their respective worlds, with the coffee cup being an anachronism in Game of Thrones and the crowd being a continuity error in The Last of Us. However, the reaction to The Last of Us error has been much more subdued, with viewers more willing to overlook it compared to the fervent scrutiny directed towards Game of Thrones.

#2. Why People Got Way Madder At GOT's Set Mistake Than The Last Of Us'

As people were already growing disillusioned with Game of Thrones, the appearance of the coffee cup further fueled criticism of the show. In addition to the poor lighting, the coffee cup served as an example of the creators' perceived lack of care. However, this criticism was more reflective of the viewers' mounting frustration with the show's declining quality. The coffee cup became an easy target for those discussing Game of Thrones' fall from grace.
In contrast, The Last of Us remains a beloved show. Currently, the continuity error is seen as a humorous mistake rather than a sign of the show's decline. However, if viewers eventually begin to dislike The Last of Us (which may not happen for quite some time), they may have a more pronounced reaction to future mistakes.
The Last of Us episodes are broadcast on HBO on Sundays.
