The Last of Us: Is Sam deaf and dumb in the video game?
series of HBO, The Last of Usadvanced the premiere of episode 5 due to the super bowl. In this installment, we met the brothers sam and henry along with big changes based on the videogame.
Kahtleen (Melanie Lynskey) first appeared in episode 4, the leader of the Kansas City hunters, who is desperately searching for Henry (Lamar Johnson) as she blames him for her brother’s murder.
Those who are already familiar with Neil Druckmann’s video game surely recognized this character, since he originally appeared in the city of Pittsburgh and joins forces with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey).
However, Henry is not alone. From the previous episode, we found out that he is accompanied by Sam (Keivonn Woodard), his younger brother, whom he tries to protect with his life.
Circumstances make them coincide with the protagonists Joel and Elliebut instead of seeing them as a threat, they make them their new allies to flee from Perry (Jeffrey Pierce) and all the hunters who go after them.

As soon as the first meeting happens, we understand that the little one is deaf and mute. Through signs and a homemade blackboard, he manages to establish a tender connection with Ellie, who, like him, was born during the pandemic.
This characteristic is very functional, since it shows us a closer contact between the characters, which has a very important background for the development of the protagonist, who has already witnessed the death of hundreds of people, including Tess (Anna Torv).
