"Joel was right," says The Last of Us creator


The Last of Us has an ending that leaves many questions regarding Joel's actions. Was he right to do what he did? Neil Druckmann thinks so.

Watch on YouTube At the end of The Last of Us, Joel executes multiple members of the Fireflies when he discovers that for them to work on a cure for the cordyceps virus, Ellie would need to have an operation that would kill her. Now, ahead of The Last of Us season two, IGN asked the show's cast and creators the same question, and Naughty Dog's own Neil Druckmann is firmly on the side of Joel simply doing what he had to do. "It's a difference between, OK, if I had to kill a random person to save who knows how many lives, in the abstract, you would say, well, yeah, that makes sense, of course,” Druckmann furthered.
