Fans blast Ben Shapiro for his hilariously inaccurate The Last of Us review

HBO’s new big hit The Last of Us is one of the most successful shows on the television network to date. The fourth episode arrived earlier this week, and fans are really excited about continuing the beautiful and somewhat morbid post-apocalyptic journey. However, every adaptation, no matter how accurate, always has some critiques. And it seems like Ben Shapiro’s comments about the show have generated some online heat.

In one of his more recent Facebook posts, Shapiro called out the third episode for not having any zombies or any real threat, as reported by The Independent.

“It is about two gay dudes who meet and have a relationship in which one grows strawberries for the other, and then they die by not being killed by zombies,” Shapiro said.

“One gets cancer and decides to essentially euthanize himself. And gay Ron Swanson decides that he is also going to commit suicide at the same time because of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ or ‘Romeo and Romeo’ in this particular case.”

He added, “It’s all really well produced and it’s beautifully shot. However, here’s the problem with Brokeback Zombie Farm: It’s a zombie show. There are no zombies in this entire episode. There are no zombies in a zombie show. This is worth pointing out. It literally has nothing to do with the plot of the show.”

A number of fans have pointed out the hilarious inaccuracies in his review:

If you think The Last of Us is about zombies then you're as brain dead as one. It's always been a story about love under circumstances that push people to the brink, about the extremes of light and dark humanity is capable of. Then again what would this chode know about love? pic.twitter.com/nnUYXgNkFT

The show is called The Last of Us.

The *human* survivors surviving is literally the point of the show. The human connection, finding the thing that you're willing to keep living for….

That storyline was literally the point.

I never give writing advice but there are many clues here as to why this person is a failed screenwriter, if it helps. pic.twitter.com/x0yrwtncCA

Ben Shapiro criticized The Last of Us episode 3 for not having any zombies, even though it had 2 zombies. Interestingly enough, he nothing to say about episode 4, which actually had no zombies in it. This is because Ben Shapiro totally isn't homophobic. pic.twitter.com/JFFAYFX1cy

Ben Shapiro really crying about Last of Us while pretending his complaint isn't rooted in homophobia

Buddy. Don't pretend like you know the direction this is headed. That episode plays a vital role later on.

Homophobes really grasping at straws these days.

I would just like to point out, for the record, that Episode 4 (not Episode 3) of The Last of Us was the first actual episode with "no zombies". But we didn't here anybody (read: Ben Shapiro and other people who are triggered by same sex love stories) complaining about it… pic.twitter.com/lZdMVv1dpf
