Joel was killed off early in The Last of Us Season 2 (and the Part II game) because his death is the crucial "inciting incident" that drives the entire story, particularly Ellie's quest for revenge and the thematic exploration of violence and consequence, as it serves as a powerful catalyst and sets up the complex narrative of revenge and empathy for the antagonist, Abby, who is seeking retribution for Joel killing her father in the first game's finale, as explained by show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, notes Business Insider. The creators wanted to avoid tormenting fans who knew it was coming and ensure the event felt like a natural, impactful part of the story, making it essential for the game's interactive experience and the show's narrative structure, notes Mashable, The Hollywood Reporter, Den of Geek, and USA Today.
