Ellie's Worst Scenes In The Last Of Us Season 2 Will Rival A Big Joel Moment

 Ellie's story in The Last of Us season 2 will see her have some brutal encounters, many of which can be scarier than anything Joel did in season 1.


SUMMARY

  •  The Last of Us season 2 will feature Ellie's quest for vengeance, which will be darker and more brutal than ever before.
  •  The series will likely include controversial and disturbing scenes that highlight the impact of Joel's death on Ellie.
  •  Ellie's worst moments in the sequel will rival Joel's massacre from the first season and come from a place of vengeance rather than love or protection.


The Last of Us season 2 will contain some Ellie scenes that rival a big Joel moment from the first season. After the success of season 1, HBO's The Last of Us adaptation has plenty of big moments to come. While the show made a few adaptations, it closely followed the story from the video game, which makes predicting season 2's events much easier. It is likely that the controversial story from The Last of Us Part II will be the direction HBO goes with for the series. The Last of Us season 2 might not even cover all of the second game, which would make sense given that it is longer than the first The Last of Us.


Assuming the TV show matches The Last of Us 2's story, Ellie's journey will be much darker and will feature several awful scenes. The hardships faced in the first season were just the beginning, as season 2 will see Ellie be more ruthless and show her more heartless side. With the second game arguably bleaker than the last, it creates a character arc for Ellie that will rival even Joel's most controversial moment.


Ellie Goes On A Quest For Vengeance In The Last Of Us II

In one of the most controversial video game scenes, Joel's death inspires Ellie's quest for vengeance in The Last of Us Part II. Joel's death caused uproar and created plenty of drama surrounding the game. However, that moment was essential in terms of shifting the story's perspective from Joel to Ellie. It's unlikely The Last of Us season 2 skips Joel's death, although it could be delayed compared to how early it happens in the game. Joel's death is what set the tone for The Last of Us Part II and will surely be an impactful moment in the HBO series, whenever it happens.


HBO isn't shy of more bloody and violent scenes, which would make Ellie's darkest ones hit that much harder. After Joel's death, Ellie murders and tortures some of his killer's allies to track down Abby. She shows little mercy in her pursuit of revenge, which makes for some of the series' most brutal moments. Her quest for vengeance is one of the most compelling parts of the game, and while hard to play sometimes, it is dramatic and memorable. Ellie's worst moments in the sequel highlight how much Joel's death impacted her, as she is willing to do things that are arguably worse than Joel's darkest actions.


Ellie's Worst Scenes In The Last Of Us Season 2 Rival Joel's Massacre

Joel's massacre in the season finale was arguably season 1's darkest moment, yet Ellie's scenes in The Last of Us season 2 could rival this. For those unfamiliar with the game, Joel's actions in the season 1 finale may have been shocking and disturbing, yet still somewhat understandable. Regardless of if Joel was right or wrong, it is easy to understand why he killed so many in order to save Ellie. The Last of Us season 2's brutal moments should be as bad, if not worse than, Joel's massacre, and come from a place of vengeance, not love or protection.


Abby's murder of Joel was remorseless, yet arguably justified in the story, as her father was one of the Fireflies he killed. Ellie seemed to go the extra mile in Part 2, killing anyone associated with Abby. She tortured one of Abby's friends, Nora, exposing her to spores and beating her with a pipe to find Abby's location. Furthermore, she kills Abby's ex-boyfriend, Owen, as well as his pregnant girlfriend, Mel. They may not have been completely innocent but were far less guilty than Joel or the Fireflies who tried to kill Ellie. These disturbing events will almost definitely take place in The Last of Us season 2 and potentially eclipse Joel's rampage.
