In a shocking turn of events, the second episode of 'The Last of Us' Season 2 features the death of its main character, Joel, portrayed by Pedro Pascal. This dramatic moment has been compared by co-creator Craig Mazin to the death of Ned Stark in 'Game of Thrones,' suggesting that Joel's influence will linger throughout the storyline. The act is a revenge killing by new character Abby, whose father's death at Joel's hands plays a crucial role. This plot twist creates a cycle of vengeance between Ellie and Abby.
When we created a character like Abby, we wanted to make sure that she wasn't just seen as a villain but as a multi-dimensional person with her own motivations.
The death of Joel is meant to impact viewers deeply and is a critical turning point that shapes the entire narrative, similar to the worldview shifts seen with Ned Stark.
