The Final of Us is now gearing towards the collection finale subsequent week, and after Episode 8 gave us a take a look at unique Joel actor Troy Baker, we’re now set to have the origin story of Ellie’s mom performed by the OG recreation Ellie, Ashley Johnson.
Right here’s the preview:
We solely have a brief shot of Johnson, but it surely seems like her scene goes to have her being attacked by a cordyceps; which might most likely clarify why Ellie turns into immune.
With the collection now gearing up towards its finale with Joel and Ellie assembly the Fireflies, it appears that evidently we’re going to be getting a flashback sequence with Ellie’s mom and doubtless the backstory of why Marlene is aware of who Ellie is and why she dropped her off within the FEDRA army college.
With the tempo the collection was going, I actually thought the present might finish round Dave’s arc, however I suppose Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are going to finish the story of the primary recreation. In fact, this leads us to take a position about what might occur for Season 2. Whereas we might get the occasions of The Final of Us Half II, I feel this may very well be time for the collection to deviate a bit bit and provides us some unique arcs that weren’t within the recreation. Half II was additionally stuffed with its personal flashbacks, so perhaps we will watch the journey to the museum, however perhaps it is also time to ascertain the first antagonist (some would argue co-protagonist) of Half II, Abby.
And by the point we get to Season 3, we will now observe an older Ellie from Half II as she goes on her revenge mission in Seattle.
It’s only a pitch.
The Final of Us is now streaming on HBO Max with new episodes each Sunday.
