The Last of Us series isn’t a stranger to fan backlash and controversies, and the case is no different with the show adaptation. Be it about the castings, messy plot points, or lack of subtexts, this show has faced every kind of backlash. The game, while being universally acclaimed, has faced major controversies, so it was expected that the show would share the same fate.

Trevor Addie directs and co-wrote Croft, a 20-minute short film based on female adventurer Lara Croft. Complete with a bow and arrow (which was added to the video game around the same time The Hunger Games made the weapon prominent again in mainstream action), Cassandra Ebner plays the title hero as she tries to save a young girl held hostage in the mountains by a group of mercenaries.

The video was directed by Trevor Addie, written by Irma Leong and Addie, and stars Cassandra Ebner as the titular character.
