Joel then lived in a very large community for what, like 4-5 years or so? He no longer had to use such primal tactics in order to survive as often as he did back in Boston as an illegal smuggler. He grew old and soft in Jackson.

Also I really don't see any negativity in the story. I really enjoy jumping between Ellie, past Ellie, and Abby. In the beginning I really hated Abby and her friends but ironically I grew to like them once I saw her side of the story.

Um didn't he also live in a community in the first game too?

I live in a community too, doesn't mean I trust people I walk by on the sidewalk.

man loses daughter at start of zombie apocalypse, 20 years later must escort a young girl across the country so that scientists can use her brain to cure the zombie virus. at the last minute he decides to slaughter everyone trying to cure the zombie virus to """""""save""""""" her, dooming the entire human race so he can pretend to be her father for a couple more decades.

Being a rugged survivalist for 20 years does not simply loving go away when you lived in a community for 5 years.

And these people that killed him weren't living in the community, they were strangers.

So why would he just simply trust strangers like this? He wouldn't.

It's just a bad loving excuse to explain why he lost all his self awareness.

If armed strangers knew your name and are slowly reaching for their guns, you take your gun out and start blasting ASAP. You don't sit there asking how they know your name

This isn't like when John Wick got jumped. John Wick was inactive for 5 years but his wife died and was buried the day before he got jumped. He was also in a heavy state of depression. He actually wanted to die at one point because of the depression

The explanation for John Wick getting jumped is 1000x better than how Joel got jumped.

I live in a community too, doesn't mean I trust people I walk by on the sidewalk.

A community that was constantly under attack by Fireflies and infected. It was like the Detroit of gated communities. Not to mention his illegal business required him to be on his toes.

Considering the circumstances in which he found Abby, both parties were pretty forgeted. Joel wouldn't let a random stranger die, either.

But then he and Tommy were completely okay with letting their guard down and introducing themselves to this unfamiliar group of people, and still did not suspect a thing when the room grew silent after they introduced themselves

Joel knew what he did at the end of the first game, why would he be okay giving his name out to a bunch of strangers? He's the guy that assuredly doomed the entire human race for the life of one girl, of course giving your name out to people outside of your own already established community is gonna be a terrible idea!

And it seems like putting salt in the wound that it's Neil Druckmann's self-insert character who spits on Joel and calls him an starfish in spanish, as if Neil himself is literally spitting upon Joel's legacy

important point is that he didnt know they needed her brain, he thought the research for the cure wouldnt kill her. being told that right at the end of his insanely long journey probably would set off a similar response in most people, esp due to the bond the two built over their travels. its really hard to just give up your kid, even for the sake of humanity, and its not clear to him if the operation would *guarantee* a cure could be developed.

its easy to judge him for being boneheaded as an outsider, but im sure most of us would at least question the necessity of killing the person if it happened to someone we loved dearly.

real quick what was the girl's feelings when she found out she'd have to die for the cure

she said she was ok with it, told him to let her go iirc. she was 12 so shes def not fully mature, regardless of survival experience. kids generally dont know enough about the world to know what questions to ask to understand whether or not something is absolutely necessary, esp over scientific topics.

personal take: joel should have talked to them to get an understanding why the procedure needed her brain instead of killing them all. would have helped him cope with the loss, and let him defer to ellie�s choice by being the adult and making sure her decision was not a shortsighted one.

Joel deserved to die for what he did, we all saw that coming, but that execution was fanfiction tier

PhantOS · June 21, 2020, 03:10:29 PM

i always found it weird how joel's daughter used to have more rule 34 than any other the last of us character.
