The Last Of Us Season 2 Episode 6 Revealed The Dark Truth About Eugene

heavy Spoilers Before “The Last of Us” Season 2, Episode 6.

For the largest part, “The Last Of Us” works from HBO as a symmetrical version close to the riotous dog game of the same name, created by Neil Drogman and Bruce Australian. Many scenes are an individual reconstruction, and it is perfect if you are looking for an expensive wandering video, but it lacks a surprise for those familiar with the game scheme. However, sometimes, the show makes a change of source material – a deviation that shows the world’s capabilities to tell other types of stories more than what players have already lived.

Changes such as Bill and Frank’s side story, or changes in the character of Tommy (Gabriel Luna) that have great repercussions on the topics of the second season that make this wonderful TV show in addition to being an accurate adaptation. These changes allow the TV program to take advantage of the means to tell a story that relies less on the players ’agency and more on the story and shows.

It is very similar to the wonderful idea of ​​taking the very simple Bell character in the game and turning his story into a beautiful story of love and sadness in the first season, the second season of “The Last of Us” takes a simple, similar personality and turns it into a decisive part of the larger season. This time, this role goes to Eugene, a character that we have never seen in the game “The Last of Us Part II”, where he only heard that he was a role living in Jackson and died at the age of 73 of stroke (it is always good to hear a person who dies from normal reasons at the end of the world).

But this is not exactly what is happening in “The Last of Cho”. Here, Eugene Joe Pantoliano plays, and his story is more tragic. Since the beginning of the season, we have known that in TV adaptation, Joel (Pedro Pascal) was the one who killed Eugene, which is why Eugene’s wife, Catherine Ohara, hated Joel with passion. In episode 6, we already see that death occurs.

During a patrol, Joel and Eli (Bella Ramsey) finds Eugene alone in the forest, the death of his companion, and biting himself among the injured. He does not try to deny that, but knowing that he is about to die, Eugene asks for a last interest: to be transferred to the main gate of Jackson to get a chance to say goodbye to a generation before death. He has time, and has things he tells. Joel wants to kill him immediately, but Elie was happy on his behalf until Joel agreed, and he promised not to kill Eugene and meet Elie on the road when you find their horses.

Of course, Joel is lying. Eugene takes a clearing with a beautiful view of a lake and asks if he has any final words for a generation. Eugene corrects him, saying he needs Ha Last words to for himBecause he is terrified and his wife needs. But this is Joel, who we are talking about, the man who slaughtered a hospital full of people and stole humanity from a possible treatment for the end of a coma. Knowing well, he lied to Eugene’s face and also for his alternative daughter, shooting Eugene, then he started lying to a generation and says that Eugene was brave and ended things himself. However, Eli is better than this, so she reveals Joel and tells a generation of truth about how Joel broke his promise.

It is a relatively simple change, as Eugene is likely to be away from the only person who was to kill him because of his biting while living in Jackson. What makes this change is important to offer in general is what Elie and Joel’s relationship means. This is the pivotal moment when everything changes for them, and the moment Elie begins to doubt everything Joel said to her, including what happened in Salt Lake City. This is why their relationship was very tense when we saw the two in the first episode of the season. Everything changed with a man who wanted to see his wife.
