The Last Of Us has launched a radical new subgenre, and it’s the perfect antidote to our increasingly bleak world.
We are looking, then, for those stories that find love in a hopeless place. That offer us examples of people doing their very best, even in the face of adversity. That offer up realistic character growth. That seek tous, not drive us to the brink of despair. And, sure, that take place in troubled times, but which direct all of their drama and activity and characters towards the light.The Last Of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilisation has been destroyed.
Out here in the real world, the 24/7 rolling news cycle has, let’s face it, offered up a relentless source of dread. We know that the rich are getting richer and that the NHS is in crisis. We know, too, that violence against women is still a very big problem, that the cost of living crisis seems destined to get worse before it gets better, and that climate change might just prove the end of all of us – especially if those in charge don’t start doing something about it.
We are constantly living under an umbrella of dread, convinced that the worst is yet to come. However, in the world ofhappened: the rising temperatures on earth have caused a fungal pandemic to take hold of the human race, martial law has been declared, and survivors have been forced out of the comfort of their own homes and into poverty-addled quarantine zones, where they are forced to live hand-to-mouth.
Still, though, there is hope. Still, though, friendships can be forged, relationships can blossom, and love can and will find a way. And still people can change for the better. Their perspectives are not fixed, their worldviews are constantly evolving . Because this is not a series that’s focused on something as simple and reductive as, say, surviving the end of the world. Rather, it’s about endurance – or the resilience of the human spirit.
