The Last Of Us 3: 10 Things We DON'T Want To See

10. Joel

Despite being a HUGE fan favourite - and the reason why many returned to the game in the first place - it would not be beneficial to see this lovable anti-hero return.

Joel's storyline has come to its bloody conclusion, meeting his end at the hands of Abby. Although this brutal act initially seems unwarranted, we later learn that the surgeon Joel murdered to 'save' Ellie at the end of the first title was Abby's father.

Ask yourself: if Ellie's father had been the one murdered, wouldn't you want to enact revenge?

Deceased characters returning to aid the hero whether by flashback has become a recurring theme through all creative media, but you must strike a very fine balance. If the dead character receives too much screentime, the impact of their death risks being lost.

There are many examples of how character deaths have been handled poorly, including Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and Money Heist.

Please, just let Joel rest and don't force him to return in any significant way.
