[@R.444-]

@@imlivingunderyourbed7845 I would say the world they lived in, the happiest anyone could conceivably get. And as Frank said there wasn’t a cure even in the before times, so apocalypse or not he was going to get sicker and in more pain, lose control of his functions and die before Bill, they just had less resources in this world to extend the amount of time he could have still kept comfortable, so he made that choice for himself and Bill wanted to go with him. Living in their own pocket of the world, their home, and dying together, old and on their own terms. Bittersweet ig is more fitting. Neither of them had to grieve the other’s loss and they went out peacefully in each other’s arms, in their own bed where they presumably remain un-disturbed, at least for a time. Not very fairytale ending but that’s usually because those stories end before the life gets lived, and I suppose most people’s ideal would be to die when they’re old at the same time as their spouse in their sleep.

"what if we kissed in your zombie pit trap" THIS IS HOW ALL GREAT LOVE STORIES BEGIN

[@dandydasyt4766]

I love how both rendition of Bill and Frank's story has its own to offer. The game's version is someone who tries to hide the pain of their loved one leaving them with snarky remarks and jokes, and it mirrors Joel's recent lost of Tess, indicating that It could be Joel if there were no Ellie. The show's version showed that even in the most cynical world, there's beauty left to be found, and to reinforces Joel role of Ellie's caretaker, who will find meaning in fighting again for someone they love. Also, dad bod representation and burly gay men making out is just the right flavor to start a new year with

You can't really put blame the makers of the game, it came out in 2013 people were pretty homophobic and it could of effect the game ratings, etc... But I am also happy they were fleshed out in the show and had a good ending.

[@Suggabee1000]

@Retro Phantom Frog Yea I get it if this type of love was exposed during that time it wouldn't have gotten so much love from people. The only reason I comment this is because most people didn't realize they were gay even since it was so subtle. It's funny my dad who somewhat played through that level didn't really connect the dots to them being lovers such as other fans commenting that "Bill ain't gay" and other crap. And to make it clear I'm not trying to offend you or go against you. Hope you have a wonderful day or night.

People who are angry about the episode haven't played the game, because they do hint that they were a couple

[@xokelis0015]

A gay couple is still way less wholesome than a straight couple with kids in toe. And people complain about it because woke idiots have been trying for at least two decades now to brainwash everyone into believing that gayness and a straight family are equally wholesome... which is FALSE. And the attempt to brainwash us is deceitful and annoying as fuck. That's why people complain about it, NOT because they don't wanna let two gays find love for each other.

[@emerson3323]

The flash cut to the four of them eating lunch and bill awkwardly wearing a nice shirt while aiming a loaded pistol at joel is truly perfect

[@whiskerbutt6715]

I also really appreciate that both Bill and Frank both have beards, as it's not something you see so often in media. It may be something small, but something as small as this can help the audience feel more represented, I really love that they added that too

um its the apocalypse

[@chukasssss]

I just noticed that the shirt that Joel will now continue to wear post Bill & Frank was the same shirt Frank was wearing when he and Bill had their first fight about decorating the neighborhood. And also, the gun that Ellie now carries is Frank’s gun too.

[@MariusBoss11458]

Wasn't it Bill's gun?

[@chukasssss]

@@MariusBoss11458 technically it is, but it’s the gun that Frank keep in the consul for his personal use (the one he used during the night the raiders attacked) because it’s (probably) a Beretta which would make it easier for Frank to use… But I guess it was Bill’s after all. If you look at it though, Joel having Frank’s shirt and Ellie having Frank’s sleeping bag is cute. They use Bill’s gun to survive, and they use Frank’s essentials to live.

[@chukasssss]

@@MariusBoss11458 or maybe I’m also just over analyzing things. Sorry. Just hope my brain works 😅

[@MariusBoss11458]

@@chukasssss That IS nice. I said that it was Bill's gun because Bill has it when he points it at Joel. Man that line was sick from Joel.

[@chukasssss]

@@MariusBoss11458 no, I don’t think it was. To me, it looks like Bill was probably using a .45 cal pistol (like Colt), as opposed to the much smaller one that Frank used (which now Ellie has taken) which is most likely a 9mm compact (like the famous Beretta small pistol) which I’m sure Bill intended for Frank to use since Frank’s isn’t necessarily good with guns. Edited: Showrunners confirmed it was Frank’s gun.
