"The Last Of Us" Bible-Reading Villain Wasn't A Pastor In The Video Game, So Why Did HBO Make An Anti-Christian Plot Line?
Season one of HBO's "The Last of Us" came to a close on Sunday night, but the penultimate episode the week prior featured perhaps the worst villain of the whole season: a Bible-thumping pastor who tried to rape Ellie and make her his child-bride. But he wasn't even a Christian in the video game, so why did Hollywood make this narrative choice?
The finale of season one of "The Last of Us" shocked many and made some wonder whether Joel really was the good guy after all (yes, he was). But the eighth installment of the season will go down as one of the most memorable episodes because of the harrowing storyline and Ellie's heroic actions that not only saved Joel's life but warded off a violent rapist who had turned his whole little village into cannibals. However, there's one small detail about the penultimate episode that Rainn Wilson, an actor known for his role in "The Office," pointed out on Twitter: The villain David wasn't a pastor in the video game, so why did they choose to make him a Bible-reading preacher in the show?
