The 'wokeness' in The Last of Us is very obvious. Its central character is a lesbian, and it recently dedicated an entire episode to a gay couple largely ignored in the original story.

People who played through the final encounter of Left Behind on Grounded difficulty absolutely hate the final encounter in this game, and it's easy to see why this is the case. While trying to escape the mall, Ellie will be completely surrounded by a multitude of enemies who are gunning for her.

In the first game, The Last of Us (2013), Joel Miller is tasked with escorting a 14-year-old Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States in an attempt to create a cure for an infection to which Ellie is immune.

Sunday's episode of "The Last of Us" revealed how the cordyceps fungal infection likely spread so rapidly around the world. It turns out Joel may have narrowly avoided being infected simply because of his food choices on the series' pilot.

Abby Was Subject to Online Misogyny

"The Last of Us" cocreator Craig Mazin said Pedro Pascal almost turned down the role of Joel Miller. On the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, he said that Matthew McConaughey was then eyed for the part. "I'm sure it would've been great, but it would've been different and I like the one that we made."
