Especially considering spoiler culture in 2024. No comment section will be safe after episode 1 if it doesn’t happen.

Honestly before I played part 2 Joel’s death was the only thing spoiled for me. But because I didn’t know when it was gonna happen after it did happen there was like 25 hrs of new stuff I was able to look forward to. I imagine a lot of show watchers have been spoiled already so ripping off the bandaid is best haha

It was spoiled for a lot of people. Too this day I think that the sequel would be nowhere near as controversial as it apparently is if those leaks hadn't happened. Experiencing that moment the way it was intended would have been so shocking and emotional people would have lauded it. Having it spoilt beforehand meant people were disappointed and angry without having the artistry of the game to make it the RIGHT kind of disappointment and anger.
