“The Last of Us” season two: Joel’s death compared to the game
Warning: The main spoilers are in front of “The Last of Us” season two.
“The Last of Us” in the second season they just killed one of his main characters in a tragic way, but this is exactly what the show needs.
Once the second season was announced, gaming fans were concerned about how to adapt the HBO series with the most controversial moments of the concession
Fortunately, the show is treated in a sincere way during the second episode.
For anyone who managed to avoid spoilers from a five -year -old game and did not expect this moment: Abe (Kaitlin Diver) tortured and killed Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) to take revenge on her father and many others in Al -Yireb Hospital, which killed Joel at the end of the first season.
The scene is mostly accurate for the game, including the fact that Eli (Bella Ramsey) is forced to watch Joel Yamut – screams to him to wake up while driving by the Abe team.
But here is how Joel’s death varies in the series compared to “The Last of Us Part II”.
Joel’s death is brutal, but it should be.

The horrific scene in the series sees that Abe explains that she wants to make him pay for what he did and shoots him in the leg.
As in the game, Joel tells her to continue with her, then start hitting his leg with a golf club.
By the time Elie found Lodge, Joel was beaten that Abe had broken the golf club in half. While Elie is restricted to the floor, Abe Joel stabs in the neck with the club’s broken end.
It is a horrific moment to witness it because there is no doubt that she killed him. The book can not be waved with magic stick and retreat from his death to take advantage of the popularity of Pedro Pascal.

But the original sequence in the game is slightly different.
For beginners, Joel Tommy’s brother is with him when they meet Abe, not Dina, and Tommy is brutally expelled by Nora (playing Gabriel comes in the exhibition).
Abe Joel is tormented in a similar way by hitting him with a golf club, but he does not go to half. When Eli eventually explodes to the room, Abe Joel does not stab in the neck; He hits him once in his head with the club, killing him.
If the show depicts his death in the same way, some fans are likely to think that Joel is still alive.
It is clear that the book does not want it to be a possibility, to make sure that focusing on Elie’s grief and horror about her father’s loss.
Like the game, it will put it in the pursuit of its revenge on Abe.
