SPOILER WARNING: This article discusses the end of the second episode of "The Last of Us" Season 2. If you are not caught up on what has been happening in the story so far, please proceed with caution as you read on.
I am not much of a gamer and have never played "The Last of Us" franchise, so watching HBO’s video game adaptation has been a unique experience for me. So, you can probably imagine how surprised I was to see one of the show’s central protagonists, Joel, tragically pass away, and in only the second episode of its sophomore season.
The death of Pedro Pascal’s survivalist character called to mind one of the most heartbreaking moments from a show quite similar to "The Last of Us," "The Walking Dead," and you might assume you know what episode I am referring to. I’ll start by taking a second to acknowledge how Joel’s passing compares to a certain fan-favorite "TWD" character’s death first, before I get into which scene I was actually reminded of.
