The Last Of Us Season 2 Should Reveal More Of One Character’s Storyline

Tommy’s own road to revenge a few steps ahead of Ellie takes place mostly off-screen in The Last of Us Part II, but HBO’s The Last of Us TV show is in a unique position to use cross-cutting to follow Ellie, Abby, and Tommy simultaneously in season 2. The Last of Us Part II begins with the heartbreaking twist of Joel being brutally killed off in retaliation for his massacre at the Fireflies’ hospital. Just before Ellie sets off on a warpath to exact vengeance against the woman responsible, Tommy embarks on his own vengeful crusade. But since the player of the game is following the story from Ellie’s perspective, they only see the aftermath of Tommy’s rampage. The TV series can actually show what Tommy got up to at all these places before Ellie showed up, which would bolster the themes of the revenge narrative.
