The Last of Us: ‘magazine scene’ recreates the game’s funniest moment

Until now, The Last of Us knew how to measure the different emotions conveyed by the material that served as inspiration, the praised Playstation game developed by Naughty Dog. Alternating between action and drama, the HBO series still managed to fit in moments of comic relief.

The greatest example of this appears in episode 4, which aired last Sunday, the 5th. bill It is Frank. With some crucial changes in relation to the game, the chapter brought a strong emotional charge and culminated in the decision of the two to die together after a shared life in the post-apocalyptic world.

In the game, just Frank dies, while bill continues to live a bitter life until he finds Joel It is Ellie when the duo goes after a car to cross the country. The dynamic between the characters is tense and funny, in addition to containing some dangerous clashes against infected.

After leaving town in a car, Ellie show the Joel who found a pornographic magazine. After so many deviations from the original story, part of the public imagined that scene would not be present in the series, but episode 4 brought the surprise.
