“You can’t stop this.” Those four words are the ominous logline for HBO’s latest The Last of Us season two trailer. Yet somehow they aren’t even this promo’s most frightening words. The trailer is full of terrifying teases about what awaits Joel, Ellie, and every other human trying to survive a world full of “monsters.” Because reading “every path has a price” should send shivers down your spine.
“Don’t you know what he did?”
Violence and terror reign supreme in the latest look at what awaits when HBO’s critically-acclaimed adaptation returns. This trailer is full of Easter eggs for fans of The Last of Us Part II . But whether you’re familiar with the events of that video game or not, this trailer is enough to have anyone worried. It hints at the fallout that is coming for both Joel and Ellie following the end of season one, when he denined mankind a cure to save her life. He also lied to her about what he’d done and why, but like an army of clickers the truth is coming.
“You swore.”
