Episode 6 of TheLastOfUs showed that a life worth living is possible when people come together.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episode 6 of The Last of Us.With every new location that has been visited in The Last of Us, there has been the looming question of whether we could rebuild after all else has been lost. Though it is very much a story of two people making their way across the country, both the game and this more expansive adaptation reflect on what can be found in the dwindling few that are left of humanity.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY After a bit of a rocky introduction, both Joel and Ellie are guided into the thriving community they never knew existed. It is almost a miracle after the desolation they have found elsewhere. This culminates in a moment of rare emotion from Joel that is felt in Pascal’s performance as he begins laughing through tears after embracing Tommy.
Joel has rejected vulnerability or community, believing that no one can be trusted after so much has been taken from him. After seeing humanity at its absolute worst, he has sworn off ever risking opening himself up to it again. He is more capable of protecting himself and Ellie than most though, for those that know where their story goes, we already see this can’t last forever.
Perhaps knowing how this may be received by some audiences and wanting to embed a small joke preemptively poking fun at them, there is a pointedly playful little scene that is sprinkled in throughout the more serious ones. As they give a tour to Joel and Ellie of what they have built, the newly introduced community leader Maria owns the label of “communists” in a way that makes her husband Tommy visibly uncomfortable.
Rather than running from its implications, the show voicing them through Maria feels refreshingly honest. She isn't naive as a character either. A heart-to-heart with Ellie that is overflowing with foreshadowing where she tries to give her advice about the value of being with people you trust makes the show’s thematic ideas even more explicit.
