Ellie and Dinafeel more like rebellious teenagers than young adults.

Ive generally tried to give the show grace when it comes to how its rewriting the story and characters.

The oldest generation is 32.

Thats a lot of weight to bear.

HBOs Dina Is Vengeful

But Im pretty concerned about the way Dina is being framed so far.

They are two sides of the same, angry coin.

She tells Ellie, Youre gay, Im not.

She says shes gotten back together with Jesse.

She plays off the kiss as being meaningless.

Joel Miller from The Last Of Us split game and TV show.

It remains the next best zombie game out there.

I dont think this is necessarily the case.

This isnt inherently a bad thing.

Ellie and Dina in The Last of Us Part 2.

But its also not the Dina we know.

The games Dina is not just a love interest or a side character, but a symbol of morality.

She tries to nudge Ellie onto a better path, one that seeks justice instead of revenge.

This Dina isnt a moral compass.
