Amidst all the despair and horror, there is a surprising amount of warmth and humor in HBO's TheLastOfUs.
Editor's note: The below contains major spoilers for Episode 1 of HBO's The Last of Us.The Last of Us games are known for their brutal violence, shocking deaths, and seemingly hopeless situations, but amidst all the despair and horror there is a surprising amount of warmth and humor as well.
Their banter continues in the breakfast scene that follows. Sarah notes that since Joel is turning 36 he will "have to start wearing diapers soon." When Joel's brother, Tommy , arrives, he wishes Joel well by saying, "You're still alive, you old fucker." Mockingly, Sarah says, "Aw, he loves you.
In spite of the horrifying circumstances, bitter sarcasm and humorous asides like these prevent the show from ever feeling unbearably dark or hopeless. The bleakness of the setting is answered in counterpoint by the resilience of the human spirit. The survivors know how terrible things are, but they refuse to lie down and die, instead sublimating despair into hard luck humor.
