Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of The Last of Us, I am thrilled to hear that Isabela Merced has been cast as Dina in the upcoming HBO series. Merced is a talented actress with a wide range of experience, and I believe she will bring Dina to life in a way that is both authentic and compelling. Dina is a complex and important character in the game, and I am confident that Merced will do her justice.
I am also excited to see how the HBO series will adapt the story of The Last of Us Part II. The game was a critical and commercial success, and it is one of my favorite games of all time. I am eager to see how the series will bring the game's characters and story to life, and I am confident that it will be a faithful and entertaining adaptation. I can't wait to see how the show will portray the complex relationship between Ellie and Dina, and how it will explore the themes of love, loss, and revenge.
