I’ve watched 'The Last of Us' Season 2, and I think Isaac Dixon, played by Jeffrey Wright, gets a bad rap. Sure, he's the leader of the W.L.F. and makes some rough calls, but look at it from his perspective. Isaac’s a former Marine who got fed up with how FEDRA treated ordinary folks, calling them "voters" like they were less than human. Ditching FEDRA to form the W.L.F. was his way of doing something real, even if it’s not neat and tidy.

I’ve known people who take charge in stressful situations, and trust me, they don't always have the luxury of playing nice. With Seattle being this hot mess, Isaac sees things as very black and white: protect his people or become overrun. His conflict with the Seraphites? It's brutal, but with so much pressure, there's no easy option.

I get the vibe that Isaac’s choices are way heavy, and they show you what it’s like to lead when nobody agrees on what's right or wrong.

I’d say check out Isaac’s backstory before judging him too harshly. He might not be a typical villain. Instead, he's like a guy who took a stand and hoped it was for the best. For real, he might just be a scapegoat for a tough world.
