This detail in the third episode of The Last of Us is being mocked by many fans, including Stephen King

Episode 3 of HBO’s The Last of Us has been praised by many around the world as one of the best episodes of television seen in recent times. Nevertheless, there are some fans, including Stephen King, who have mocked its bizarre “10 miles west of Boston” setting.which was clearly not 10 miles west of Boston.

As reported by Variety, there is a scene in the last episode where the text “10 miles west of Boston” appears. While this obviously does not detract from the moving story told on screen, the accompanying scene depicted mountainous terrain that appears to come from northwestern North America and not from the vicinity of much flatter Boston.

You can check out the image below, or check it out in episode 3 around 4:31.

It had already been reported that The Last of Us is being shot in Alberta (Canada), where there are some beautiful mountains, so the scene seemed out of place. Many times the magic of film and television removes elements or scenarios that could break the immersion, but this seems to have been overlooked or not considered important enough to address.

Many were quick to point out the mistake, incluido Stephen Kingwhich said “THE LAST OF US. Episode 3: Do you really want to tell me that’s 10 miles west of Boston?”.

Allie Mac Key responded on Twitter to the legendary author of horror novels: “Is that what you get from one of the most beautiful episodes on television?” King responded, “Oh, I really liked it. I was just saying so.”

Others also pointed to the scene in question, including Pete Blackburnwhat he actually lives 10 miles west of Boston.

Riverboat Chris also joined in on the fun, saying “The Last of Us is like ’10 miles west of Boston’ and shows [sic] this.” The image he shared is of Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, which It is about 3,000 kilometers west of Boston.

Again, this is nothing more than an amusing little discrepancy in an otherwise spectacular hour of television. Inevitably, will join other pop culture blunderslike the Starbucks glass and the water bottle that appear in Game of Thrones.
