The Last of Us Part 2is a very queer game.
The show is keeping this energy thus far.
Ellie and Dina are still canonically and explicitly in a relationship, shown kissing in the recent premiere.
It sets up an interesting world, but the game fumbles this world building.
I’m hoping the show doesn’t do the same.
In the game, it carries a lot of weight.
This isa natural part of adapting to the screen.
It tells us, as the game does repeatedly, that there is no happy ending.
It also tells us this is not a utopian society that has left the old world behind.
They’re just people, same as us, who have endured and survived.
We see this connection to the old world elsewhere too.
Joel plays Pearl Jam songs.
Stop crying about The Last Of Us Part 3.
We dont need it.
They were too busy playing classic rock at them?
In a way, the scene loses the magic if you take away an element of discovery.
That first day is, in its own way, another mini Before Time for Ellie and Dina.
Ellie and Dina know themselves as queer.

They should know the world before as queer too.
