I am floored I am flabbergasted I cannot believe it
In the game, Bill and Frank were almost nothing. Bill was a joke character, he shows up, heâs a doomsday prepper, he helps you fight zombies, gives you a truck battery, and you leave. Ellie steals some comics and a gay porno magazine from him, and heâs never seen again.
Frank WAS nothing. You never see him. You find his BODY, he got bit and hung himself, and he got bit trying to escape Bill because he hated him so much and the note says heâs happier dead than living another day with BillÂ
And then the show. The show took that shallow, mean storyline, and made it beautiful.Â
Now Bill and Frank are real characters. We know them. Really KNOW them. And they donât hate each other. In fact theyâre in love. Theyâre really IN LOVE. And yes they argue and disagree sometimes but theyâre a real couple who really love each other while still being two people so sometimes they fight. That doesnât change that theyâre in loveÂ
And they GET TO BE IN LOVE, the whole time, theyâre doing things for each other. Theyâre living in their little gated paradise and itâs beautiful. They make it pretty. They grow food. Theyâre eating gourmet meals. Theyâre not just surviving. Theyâre thriving. Theyâre living
They took that mean spirited game story, and they made it the point, the heart, the example of what people are still fighting for. The proof that yes, even in the middle of the apocalypse, you can still live a good life. Not an easy life, you will still have bad days, youâll have bad days with the ones you love, but you will still love them, and they will still love you. And then, with all these grizzly, horrific deaths we see two deaths that are peaceful. Painless. Two men who die old, satisfied, and in the arms of their purpose.Â
Donât you see? Itâs about hopeÂ
Bill and Frank are hope Â
