The last of us Episode 2 of season 2 will be remembered as one of the most shady chapters in the history of the program. One of the original characters of HBO’s success is brutally murdered, while Jackson’s idyllic settlement is invaded by invasing infected treasures. It is a turning point for The last of us. The show no longer focuses on the tense bond that grew between Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), but the existential impulse of humanity to survive. What do we sacrifice? What do we leave behind? And who will take a step forward and become an honest hero for God when it is called?
** Spoilers of The last of us Season 2 Episode 2, now transmitting in Max **
Well, according to The last of us Episode 2 of season 2, Joel’s brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna), is the man with the products to save the day. Tommy not only leads efforts to strengthen and defend Jackson, but also get the most triumphant victory of the episode, killing only a swelling. It is a very necessary victory for an episode concerned about a devastating loss.
The last of us Episode 2 of season 2 is one of the most intense episodes or television has ever done. On the one hand, you have Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), consumed by revenge, crossing roads with Joel by chance. (Actually Salvages She from an infected hunting band a snowstorm.) Abby pays her with a slow and tortuous death. She shoots it in her leg, hits him with a golf club and finally stabs him in front of Ellie’s eyes. It is spooky, twisted, things that shake the narration.
However, while all this is happening, Jackson finds Itelf under siege. A true army of stalkers, the new type of infected who can work together and the strategy, has the advantage of the coverage tasks offered by the storm to advance in Jackson. Already prepared, Tommy fits action, leading the fighters of the city on the wall.
What follows is perhaps one of the best representations of the siege war on screen from the battle of Helms by Peter Jackson. Yeah, game of Thrones I did something similar with the battle of Winterfell in season 8, but there the characters made the disconcerting mistake of the initial white walkers and their others. outside The Winterfell walls. Tommy is not so dumb. (I mean he has fallen an ititch around the wall, but he has done quite well). He knows that the basic tenant of sustaining a fortress must first hold the wall. The oil drum orders that they drop, first to hit the invaders, then light as fire pumps.
However, even with additional support, the door breaks. Infected enter Jackson. Soon, the battle has changed to maintain the line to fight for everyone’s life.
While others fall or lose their nerves, Tommy takes care of himself with a swelling. These are the funny infected hilarious and are especially difficult to eliminate. Tommy attracts the monster away from others and begins to use everything he has, bullets, fire, to tear it down.
In any case, it looks bleak for Tommy. It is almost completely without gasoline and the swelling approaches it, outside the mailboxes, etc. Buy, no less! However, in the last second, it seems that all the damage Tommy has done in the creature has worked. The Bloater dies and Tommy survives.
Tommy’s individual struggle against the fan is the son of the fighting and high -dock fighting scene that keeps us tune in The last of us. It is that ray of hope that perhaps all suffering is Worthing. It is that little victory of triumph that suggests that there is the possibility that humanity can win the day. It’s also great.
Also curse great? The fact that the Showrunners of the Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann series tried that they would need to establish Joel’s successor in this episode. Maybe The last of us He is losing Pedro Pascal, but in this episode, Gabriel Luna showed that he and the character Tommy are more than able to play the role of protector and hero. Just ask the block.
