If long-time The Final of Us followers have discovered something watching HBO’s second season, it’s that realizing one thing is coming doesn’t make it any much less painful to observe a second time. The live-action adaptation of The Final of Us Half II has been divisive (I fucking hated it, personally), however it’s nonetheless placing everybody by the emotional wringer by recreating the identical deaths and carnage featured within the PS4 sport. As such, those that have performed the sport know what to anticipate in an upcoming episode once they see moments they acknowledge within the previews, and which means Final of Us veterans are bracing themselves for the finale as a result of they know one thing painful is coming.
HBO has launched a short 40-second preview of the finale forward of its premiere on Sunday, and it features a voiceover from Jesse (Younger Mazino) concerning the conflict between the militaristic Washington Liberation Entrance and the cult-like Seraphites. He says he’s “not dying out right here” in the midst of the Seattle warzone. However the irony is that homeboy most likely is dying out right here, and within the subsequent episode.
Within the preview, we see a clip of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and Jesse working up the aisle of the theater that the group has made into their house base whereas in Seattle. We don’t get any context as to what the pair is working towards, however anybody who’s performed The Final of Us Half II is aware of what’s coming.
Jesse is one other unlucky casualty in Ellie and Abby’s revenge tour, and for a sport that loves to pull out character deaths, his finish is fairly fast, however no much less brutal. As he and Ellie run into the theater foyer, Abby, who discovered the group’s hideout, shoots Jesse proper within the face, killing him immediately. Based mostly on the preview, it seems like this scene is within the finale, until the present decides to deal with Jesse’s destiny in another way. The present has largely adopted the core occasions of The Final of Us Half II, albeit with some annoying script elaborations and misguided structural modifications, but when Ellie’s horse Shimmer can keep away from her violent destiny, perhaps Jesse can, too? Both approach, followers are making ready themselves for the emotional injury.
The Final of Us’ season finale will premiere on Max at 9 p.m. Japanese Sunday, Could 25.
