Why Joel Died in The Last of Us 2 . In The Last of Us 2, players were introduced to the character of Abby, who immediately became one of the most controversial characters in Naughty Dog's history The death to me perfectly fit the tone of the games. The world is unrelenting and unrepentingly horrified. David was going to rape, kill, and eat Ellie. Those people in the sewers murdered children to stop them being killed by the infected.
