If you have recently watched the latest episode of The Last of Us, my thoughts and prayers are with you. The episode showcased the new season budget with a swarm of Infected attacking Jackson, Wyoming. However, the explosive plot twist involving a beloved character may have captured more attention.
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US SEASON 2 BELOW
Abby, driven by vengeance, encounters Joel in a tense moment at an abandoned school. Their reunion takes a dark turn, leading to a tragic outcome for Joel.
The portrayal of Joel’s death in the TV series differed in some key aspects from the original game. Let’s delve deeper into these differences.
Joel was with Dina, not Tommy
In a significant change from the game, Joel was accompanied by Dina instead of Tommy during the fateful encounter. This alteration allowed for a thrilling sequence involving Tommy defending his town against an attack.
Abby’s golf club killing blow was different
The brutal attack on Joel by Abby mirrored the game, with one notable difference in the final blow. Instead of a crushing hit to the head, Abby stabs Joel in the neck, intensifying the emotional impact of the scene.
Ellie wasn’t knocked out
In a departure from the original story, Ellie remains conscious during the aftermath of Joel’s death. The heartbreaking moment emphasizes the tragic loss and the bond between Ellie and Joel.
