Steam powered giraffe3/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Joel and Ellie’s journey has been packed with hardships, and after three months of walking the wilderness on foot, Joel’s boots are too tattered to wear without wrapping them up in duct tape-one of the key items Joel can scavenge for in the game. The closer he gets to Ellie, the more intense his fear of losing her gets, which comes to a head again when the Jacksonians surround the two, and he’s frozen in fear that the dog will detect the virus in Ellie. Moreover, the fear of failing those who are dependent on him terrifies Joel on a daily basis, with the roots of this fear in Sarah’s death, though Tess’s passing hasn’t helped either. Whenever he finds good people, it reminds him of the time before all this, and with that, Sarah’s face comes to mind, rendering him catatonic in fear. Committing terrible crimes to stay alive and living inside an autocratic military world, he can’t handle people being nice to one another or the fact that trust and love can exist in a world as rotten as this. After a lifetime of hardships and harsh actions, Joel prefers burying his emotions deep and uses killing zombies and raiders as a way of letting off steam, only to have nightmares in his sleep. Interestingly, he has these attacks a few times in “The Last of Us” Episode 6, especially after experiencing proper peace and quiet. The river that Marlon points out as the “River of Death” is the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park.Īfter gathering all the information they need from the sweet couple, Joel and Ellie step out of the hut, and he has a panic attack. We saw a similar sanctuary-like existence back in “The Last of Us” Episode 3, where Bill and Frank created their own paradise in the middle of a dead earth. They differ from the brutal rules and corporal laws that FEDRA employed in Boston and also in Kansas City, before Kathleen, and her men took over. ![]() The reason Marlon and Florence have flourished, much like the settlement at Jackson, as Ellie and Joel will find out later, is because these sanctuaries were built on love and trust. The two might come off as an old duo who are unaware of anything that’s happening around them, but the bond of love and trust they share was something so strikingly missing back in Kansas City. ![]() We meet the characters Marlon and Florence, a couple who had stayed alive by staying away from humanity even before the cordyceps virus was ever heard of. “The Last of Us” Episode 6 opens with a shot of a man walking up to a hut carrying dead rabbits in his hand, which is a nod to how the chapter after escaping from Pittsburgh opens in the game. ![]()
