‘The Last of Us’ recreates the scene where Ellie finds Bill’s porn magazine. Here’s how it happens.

Our last Have scared us to death with Clickers and make us sob like babies with Bill and Frank — after all that emotional trauma, I think it’s safe to say we all deserve a little laugh, don’t we?

Luckily for us, the show’s fourth episode, titled “Take My Hand,” offers plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Many came courtesy of Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) jokes, No pun intended: Too loud by Will Livingston. All of her jokes – including hilarious sayings like “It doesn’t matter how much you push the envelope… It will stay still” – are removed straight from the original. Our final game.

And you know what else is lifted straight from the game? A fun moment when Ellie discovers a porn magazine in Bill’s car. Well, it was a joyful moment for Ellie – for Joel (Pedro Pascal), it was a total nightmare.

When Ellie first discovered the magazine – its cover was a Exact copy of one in the game(Opens in a new window) — she commented that it was “easy to read, but it had some interesting visuals.” Since then, the dialogue has been raised almost word for word compared to the original. Our final. Ellie claims that she wants to see “what all that fuss is about” while Joel frantically tries to get her to put the magazine away.

Things get tense when she innocently asks him why all the pages are stuck together – a question that sends Joel into a downward spiral. You can see the fear in his eyes: “I’ll have to Conversation With this kid, I’m shipping through the USA full of mushrooms? Is this my life now?”

Of course, in the moments leading up to Ellie’s million-dollar question, you can also see mischievous gears grinding in her head. She senses Joel’s discomfort and calculates exactly what she needs to say to push the dilemma to the maximum. In other words, she “just made love to [him].”

The entire exchange can’t last more than 30 seconds, but it’s a great snapshot of Joel and Ellie’s burgeoning relationship. This pair of strangers began to contradict each other. (Need me to remind you Joel slam Ellie into one wall when they first met?) Now, they’re close enough that Ellie feels she can mess with Joel, while Joel feels the need to protect her from his content. bearskin magazine. Every day, the bond between father and daughter grows stronger, whether they like it or not.

Ellie’s discovery of porn magazines is certainly not the only one Our final Scenes are removed straight from the game. In fact, the show has been meticulous in staying true to the main sequences. Sure, we’ve seen the series differ from the game – get it Bill and Frank full episode, for example — but it’s nice to know that when it comes to smaller but still iconic game moments, co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann know that not much should change. So thanks for the laughter, Ellie. We really needed it after the first three episodes of the show, and based on everything you’ve been through, we know you need it too.
