Perspective: Episode 3 reinvents what life and death can be in the show, but its queer characters can’t escape the tropes.
In many ways, Bill and Frank’s story embodies this debate. They’re complicated characters, especially Bill; when’s the last time you saw a queer character who was also a prepper, with a Gadsden flag and a basement full of guns? While they fall into certain gay stereotypes — a love of finer things, Frank’s knowledge of antiques, Bill’s fussiness about his home — these qualities stand as humanizing contrasts to their tough exteriors.
I’m not going to definitely declare this “good” or “bad.” A more traditionally happy ending isn’t in the cards for Bill and Frank because it isn’t in the cards forin “The Last of Us.” And queer characters don’t necessarily need happy endings to be nuanced characters or to tell meaningful stories. But while watching the episode, I thought about Ellie’s canonical queerness from the games. Joel and the viewer know so much about Bill and Frank’s queer lives, but Ellie doesn’t.
