We're still not over the death of Joel (Pedro Pascal) but,Swipe like it or not,The Last of Usis entering a new chapter — and that means some brand new opening credits.
The change in opening credits between Season 2, episode 2 and episode 3 isn't a big revamp, but it's still pretty devastating in a subtle way.
So what's the difference?
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2, episode 3: Why does Ellie sprinkle coffee on Joel's grave?Aside from the crushing absence of Pedro Pascal's name at the very start of The Last of Us' opening credits, the sequence in Season 2, episode 3 looks pretty much the same as usual: The camera winds through a morphing, cordyceps-inspired tapestry, with fungal plants sprouting into the shape of a city alongside the names of the cast and crew.
The change, however, comes right at the very end. In previous episodes, the camera moved through a spiral of fungus to show a blurry and overgrown landscape, from which two distant silhouettes — mean to represent Joel and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) — sprout up from the ground. In episode 3, however, the smaller silhouette is the only one that remains.
Seeing the two shapes in previous episodes re-enforced the idea that it was Joel and Ellie against the world, two survivors struggling through a post-apocalyptic landscape together. Now, the message is clear: Ellie is on her own again. Joel is gone, and she's going to have to carve out her own path.
New episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 premiere on HBO and Max Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
