Under are delicate spoilers for “The Final of Us Half II.”
As followers of the Naughty Canine sport collection already know, a younger lady named Dina can have a vital function to play within the present’s second season. After years of rising up collectively on the Jackson Commune, sparks will fly between Ellie and Dina, who kickstart a romance simply earlier than tragedy strikes their lives. Propelled by a quest for vengeance, the 2 then set out on a journey throughout the nation: and thus, now we have a brand new touring duo.
Although Dina is not technically launched till the sequel, the collection has laid the muse for that to alter. Not like within the sport, by the point Ellie and Joel arrive in Jackson, the group is already well-established — which implies that Dina, amongst others, is already current. So who’s to say the staring lady is not her? There’s simply that one temporary scene with nothing to really affirm Dina’s identification: however her garments, lengthy darkish hair, and curiosity in Ellie have been greater than sufficient to catch followers’ consideration. And the truth that the digicam offers her any time in any respect speaks volumes. So virtually instantly after the episode aired on HBO, “Was the Dina” began trending on Twitter.
Is all of this simply wishful considering? Perhaps. When requested, co-showrunner Craig Mazin refused to substantiate that the staring lady is Dina on the “Final of Us” companion podcast, however his teasing response did add gas to the hearth. “It is ambiguous,” Mazin informed host Troy Baker. “Any individual’s looking at Ellie. I ponder who that could possibly be, theoretically or not. We’ll discover out, perhaps in the future.”
