File:Why Joel Is A Terrible Person But A Great Character (The Last Of Us Video Essay)-2

Throughout the vast array of video game characters and even characters in a zombie apocalypse, it’s hard to find one that stands out a much as Joel does to me. While on first glance, he’s your typical deep voiced, hardened, broken shell of a man that seems all too common in stories like these, and for awhile that’s exactly what I thought of Joel. He’s a fine character that’s fun to play as, but my mind always comes back to Joel, and the more I think of him, the more I realize just how special of a character he really is.
