In the second episode of Season 2 of The Last of Us, the protagonist Joel faces dire consequences for his brutal actions in Season 1. Abby, the daughter of one of Joel's victims, captures and tortures him before killing him, a sequence significantly more graphic than depicted in the original video game. This moment deviates from the game's pacing while heightening emotional stakes, juxtaposing Ellie’s despair with the chaos unfolding in Jackson, Wyoming, as infected invade their safe haven, amplifying the narrative's themes of revenge and loss.
The show went too far in the wrong direction with its most shocking moment.
Joel suffers the consequences of his actions: Abby, the daughter of one of the doctors he killed, captures him and tortures him until he dies.
The television series indulges in the moment's brutality, with Abby delivering a long speech before torturing Joel, showcasing a graphic depiction of violence.
The episode cuts between shots of Ellie's despair and the town's destruction, emphasizing her pain and the chaos invading their safe place.
