The Last Of Us 2: 10 Things Fans DON'T Want To See
10. Joel Being A Ghost
There is a LOT to unpack with the character of Joel and how he left us at the end of The Last Of Us. As such, there are a lot of ways in which his return can be handled poorly. One of these is copping out by having him turn out to be either a ghost, or a figment of Ellie's imagination.
This minor fan theory has picked up a bit of speed, who find it hard to believe that Joel would just happen to show up again when Ellie needs his help most. But considering how far this guy went for her in the last game, it isn't so out there to consider that he's been following her around the past few years. Having him turn out to be a ghost would remove all the tension of their reunion for the sake of a twist, and that's just not right.
We already have mushroom zombies, we do not need ghosts too.
