The supporting characters of TheLastOfUs matter just as much as its two leads.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part I Video Game.Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us are two of the most recognized names in video game canon. With HBO's highly anticipated adaptation launching this weekend, fans will experience a familiar story with new voices as the acclaimed Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey assume the mantles from original actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson.
The Character of Tess Shows What It Takes To Survive The first person introduced after the prologue is Tess, played first by Annie Wersching and now Anna Torv in the series. The HBO website describes her as "a hardened survivor," which puts it politely. Tess is Joel's smuggling partner as well as the first indicator of how much ruthless capability and bargaining power is required to survive.
Tess's arc concludes with a sacrificial stand-off against the soldiers who cornered her, Joel, and Ellie. She was bitten by an Infected earlier that day, hence her decision to buy the others time. Her death demonstrates how quickly a loved one is lost and the smidgen of autonomy individuals have left; in the face of infection, she chooses to die her way rather than succumb.
Bill Offers a Hopeless Contrast In contrast, stands Bill , a paranoid and angry man living alone in a booby-trapped house. His only goal is self-centered survival, and Bill's begrudging help comes with a free side of verbal lashings and pragmatic declarations that Joel is better off alone. In Bill's experience, caring for others is too risky.
Evil assumes a name and a friendly face halfway through the story when Ellie encounters David in the freezing winter woods. David earns Ellie's tentative trust through lies and manipulation thanks to North playing him as gentle and soft-spoken. When he reveals he's the leader of a cannibalistic cult before he stalks and kidnaps Ellie, the dramatic subversion is remarkable.
