YMMV / The Last of Us (2023) S1EP8: "When We Are in Need"

Go To

  • Complete Monster: David presents himself as a religious, caring father to his community of Silver Lake, but is in truth a violent, controlling sadist, and by far the worst monster that Joel and Ellie face. David has been cannibalizing friend and foe alike for a considerable time, feeding the unknowing citizens of his community the bodies of their loved ones while David makes sure he gets more food than the rest of his starving clan. Quickly established as a child abuser who backhands young Hannah for interrupting one of his sermons, David is further revealed to be a flat-out pedophile and rapist, having indulged in his proclivities in his past life as a schoolteacher before further embracing his "violent heart" with glee when the apocalypse hit; Hannah is heavily implied to be one of the victims of his sick depravity. David tries to seduce Ellie into being his lover, and when she rejects his disgusting advances, David responds by trying to chop her up and eat her. He then changes tactics and proclaims his intent to make her his Sex Slave, and attempts to start this process off by violently raping her as he cheerfully notes "the fighting's the part I like the most!"
