TheLastOfUs actor Nick Offerman defends episode 3 against the backlash towards Bill and Frank's love story. '...your brand of ignorance and hate is exactly why we make stories like this.'
With The Last of Us episode 3 receiving some backlash, Nick Offerman defends it from homophobic tirades. Though The Last of Us largely centers around Joel and Ellie as they travel across the continental United States, episode 3's "Long, Long Time" diverges from them to focus on the love story of Offerman's Bill and Frank . With the two enjoying a long-lasting love story spanning almost two decades, they grow old and eventually agree to go out together.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY After being targeted by bigoted Twitter users, Offerman responded to one individual to make it clear that he specifically made episode 3 in response to homophobia. Check out Offerman's tweet below: Despite its widespread acclaim, a review-bombing campaign has targeted The Last of Us episode 3 due to various homophobic comments, which led to Offerman's sharp defense. After Offerman's reply, the original poster eventually deleted their account.
By showing Bill and Frank's romance growing and changing over the years, the episode serves to reinforce why surviving is less important than living. Bill easily could have gone on after Frank's death but chose to remain beside his husband even to the end. It's a strong contrast with Joel, who is forced to live on in the wake of the loss of Tess, which shines a light on Joel's own private torment.
The letter that Bill left for Joel is also important because it encourages Joel to create a bond with Ellie and try to move forward. Joel is left to protect the one person he has left, just as Bill was after finding Frank. While The Last of Us episode 3 deviates massively from the game, Bill's changes are perfect because they suit the tone that the show is trying to cultivate, and it's why Offerman is defending it so fiercely.
