A Jaw-Dropping Twist Shakes Fans

If you’re still reeling from the shocking moment in the latest episode of 'The Last of Us', you’re not alone! This brutal twist echoes a controversy that ignited fierce backlash when it first appeared in the video game five years ago.

The Unexpected Death of Joel

In 'The Last of Us Part I', players fell in love with Joel—a rugged smuggler committed to protecting Ellie, a girl with immunity to a deadly fungal infection ravaging the world. So, when he met his untimely end at the hands of Abby, the vengeful daughter of a man Joel killed, fans were left shell-shocked. The reaction? A flood of review bombings targeting 'The Last of Us Part II'.

The Fallout of Joel's Actions

While critics praised both games for their storytelling, the narrative shift sparked outrage among players. Without Joel's imposing presence, the sequel felt lacking, yet it dared to tread a different path—one filled with Ellie’s journey of grief, revenge, and survival.
