Tragedy Unspoken: A Last of Us Miss
The Last of Us HBO adaptation doubles down on its signature grief porn, yet somehow manages to skip one of the game’s most gut-wrenching deaths. The omission of Shimmer’s fate leaves a void, even as the show delivers on other tragic beats. While Ellie and Dina’s emotional journey remains intact, the absence of this pivotal moment feels like a lost opportunity for depth. Fans of the game will mourn what’s missing, even as the series continues to ache with sorrow.
