I think the function of the cordyceps infection, narratively, across both hands but especially the first (it seems to become increasingly irrelevant in the second except as background) is to set up the idea of human diminishment and extinction and justify the title

I've discussed this with a friend who's also a big fan of the series, and we're of the opinion that you could do a Left Behind style DLC about whatever the fck Tommy was up to for most of Seattle which would have flashbacks to explain what made him and Joel so fcked up

People keep forgetting, in the wake of all the eulogizing for him in 2, that Joel was such a horrible person that Tommy voluntarily cut all ties with him by the time 1 starts despite their blood relationship and everything they've been through

Remember how World War Z (the book) showed how the infection was largely controllable, but bungled government response fed into general complacency in the population until it was too much? I feel like a last of us prequel might go in that direction and be too... real

That book also says that fascism is the answer to the zombie apocalypse come to think of it (okay not fascism just literal South African style apartheid)
