Hey, you! Stop reading this if you haven't watched "through the valley", the second episode of Season 2 of "The Last of Us", because We will spoil some really big things! Seriously! I warned you!

Well, it happened. Fans of the naughty dog ​​game "The Last of Us Part II", a widely recognized sequel from 2020 to "The Last of Us" in 2013, knew that this was coming for a while, but that didn't make it easier to see that easier. ELOEL Miller, a protagonist of the story to this point in the HBO adaptation of Pedro Pascal, is dead, killed by a girl named Abi (Caitlin Diver) after killing Abi's father years earlier. This takes place before the surrogate daughter of Elloel, Eli, played in the show of White Ramsey, and watching as screaming at ELOEL to "become" - and crawl on his bloody, dead body after Abi drives the sharp shaft to the golf -club - is just incredibly brutal.

On the Social Media Platform Twitter (or X, if you are Nerd), people have made their feelings Knownas the user @urbluestdays Who paired pictures of ELOEL with Abi, Eli, Dinah (Isabella Merced) and his daughter Sarah (Nico Parker) with a strict thought: "(ELOEL) could not save his daughter, so he protected every teenage girl from mothers until she killed him." Critic @zoerosebryant He added a picture of Kieran Kulkin's Roman Roy to his father's funeral to "Succia", begging people to pull out his father's body "outside" his casket with the title "Looking (ELOEL) a body in that bag at the end of the episode.

Meanwhile, @Jarettsays It was simply angry that no one gave them a head: "#Thelastofus Game Player all the time knew that Eloel would die and didn't warn me?!?" @lec16rcz He realized that Eli missed in time with her surrogate father, simply noticing: "(Eli) wanted to go on a patrol with (ELOEL) and he said to let her sleep and he died." Using the caps to express their ultimate pain, @kiescleo He stated: "The way you can actually see Elloel trying to lift his body up from the ground ... for her. Even in the end." Then you have @sunflwrpascalWhoever noticed a special thing about something Abi told Eloel before killing him: "At least (ELOEL) knew that people thought he was beautiful before he died.

Obviously, there will always be a split between longtime video games and HBO fans, and when it comes to ELOEL's death on the "Last of Us" screen, some of the former came out on social media to discuss how they thought the show handled it. Some, how @elliesbagpinPrefer the version of the game: "I think death (ELOEL) was well done, but I personally don't think it's at the top or competing with the reduction in the game and people who have never played the game, they will never feel what the players felt."

By the flip side, @giannaispunk mentioned a specific choice made by white Ramsey and said was Stricter than the game, saying, "(Eli) crawl to (ELOEL's body) and hugging it ... it was even worse than the game." (SMAK in the middle, @shivmcavoy He published a compilation of people screaming in a horror with the short title, "I watched me ELOEL to die even though I was playing the game.")

Then there are @HuinguylaumeWho wrote an ode to the version of this scene on this scene and began praising the sequence of what is as heart as the one in the game (and also saying: "Caitlin Dever is extremely", which is absolutely true). He continued, however:

"But if you want the show, please play the game, whether you're a gamer or not. While the show is fantastic, playing Eli's character, and then playing as Abi, gives depth and perspective you can't feel without" the character. If you think the show is a masterpiece, you are right and I couldn't agree more with you.

The point is that the show - Show Craig Mazin and Neil Drakman - the second they helped create the original dog games - worked alongside episode director Mark Milod and his Starswolves Pedro Pascal, White Ramsey and Caitlin Dever to create something incredible. In fact, it is So Unforgettable that some fans, like digital news writer People's magazines @RaventbrunnerIt seems to be in denial: "Everything is fine (because) he will wake up right? He will recover and everything will be good. ELOEL and Eli forever right?" @pascalcoded There were two devastating downloads, starting with a sober realization: "The way Elloel tried to move when Eli said" get up ", as he wanted, as he could if he could ... that destroyed me. Forever destroyed. ”Their other post was still unusual and sad, but furious; As they wrote"(ELOEL) literally saved the life of my own killer and the more I think about it, angry I get."

Another fan, @elliespunditreferred to the fact that "Through the Valley" adds a huge combat sequence back to Acksexone's strongholdLeaving Elloel Tommy's brother (Gabriel Luna) fighting for his life among the infected horde. "The image of Burnekson Borning was one of the last things Joel saw before his death," they wrote. "He died not knowing if Tommy is safe." In the game, Tommy is with ELOEL when they meet Abi and her friends, and Abi will take revenge; In the show, ELOEL is with Eli's best friend and other figure of a surrogate daughter, Dinah, instead. At least one viewer wanted this choice; How @noradominick He wrote: "The dynamics (ELOEL) and (dina) in the show is my favorite accessory so far and it is an absolute breaking of the soul. The fact that (dina) was now in the room, unable to do nothing." At the end of the day, we can all agree to a feeling, expressed beautiful by @madinthemoon: "No one could play ELOEL Miller as Pedro Pascal did." That is, no doubt, true.
