How Deadly is Joel in The Last of Us? (Game vs Show)

I tried to count how many kills Joel has in the HBO show The Last of Us vs in the game The Last of Us Part I. I compare the two and bring up a few differences among their stories, which for the most part are pretty similar. What did you think of season 1 of this show?
I usually post video game challenge videos and have done a few for TLOU series as well as Uncharted and Call of Duty. Check out my most recent which was a TLOU2 no damage run: • Can You Beat The Last ...

uhhhh john wouldn't really waste the bullet on that soldier who was turning since joel isn't the merciful type and would likely spare his bullet for survival

[@godzillazfriction]

and I argue that the action is more believable than something like the show where NOTHING happened to bill's town and i especially don't like how the infected aren't a threat that much like The Walking Dead

[@godzillazfriction]

and joel arguably isn't a villain in that ending... REMEMBER, TLOU1s ending and 'cure' was left ambiguous or your own interpretation but in TLOU2, Neil Cuckman wanted to paint joel as a whole evil villain when the cure was going to 100% work even though TLOU1 never suggested this... the fireflies from the 1st game where going to kill a 14 year old girl with no consent in that matter to give out a cure even though that would be impossible even if the cure did work but now in TLOU2 the cure wouldve 100% worked and how this genius of a scientist wouldve gotten a cure within HOURS even with barely any resources and knowledge on it.... abbys father is a d3mbf3ck and I love how the 2nd game wanted to picture him as a suck kind and caring person by saving a zebra even though he was going to kill a girl who gave no consent to it but even if she was awake and gave 'consent' she can't do that because she's just a 'child' and there could be more solutions to it with time but the 'fireflies' aren't good people side note: I love how abbys father transformed his clothes from 'green' to 'blue' especially how his room went from 'dirty' to 'clean'...

As I played the games in 2013, I didn't think much of him being in his 50s.. But as I'm now in my 30s, there's no way I would have Joels strenth and stamina in 20 years. I'm glad that the adaption didn't make him an unstopable old hulk. I was a bit concerned that they weren't going to make him brutal, but it makes sense that they were leading up to the bloodbath in episode 9.. If he was killing countless men each episode it wouldn't have that punch at the end.

[@squirlmy]

ha, as someone in his 50s, and not a gamer, I think of these in even more extreme terms. Anything anywhere close to the game would have been over-the-top cartoonish in the series. A handful of deadly encounters in wartime, irl, will get you a well-deserved medal. A videogame is an entirely different thing. I think during the game, many players got extra feels after adrenaline jolts during gaming phases, and will complain they don't get the same impact from the series. That's because while sitting on a couch passively watching, the video game action would just look laughable. As we old timers might say, like a Saturday morning cartoon.

[@greilthelegendaryhero252]

Well if you were forced into hard labor, hikes for miles, ect, you would gain some strength and stamina. Definitely not nearly as much as in a game, but you'd be surprised with what the human body can adapt to. Plus it's important to note that he had a laborious job before.

[@traviscue2099]

@@greilthelegendaryhero252 it's more the damage over time than the getting stronger aspect. Joel's likely taken a lot of damage over the years, as you age it catches up with you... and without access to medical assistance bruises and fractures/bumps ect would turn into a struggle and pain.. but he's a video game character..I gotta give Leeway to that..

[@cyndaquil8331]

Great video! It truly puts Joel's characterizations into perspective. In the game, to save Ellie, he kills less than 10% of his total. In the show, his count almost doubles. To add to that, game Ellie killed like four times more people than Joel did in the Firefly Lab. This makes their last exchange in the game and in the show leave a different impact.

[@bluesky2195]

I feel alot of people in the comments think that the show is more grounded because of this and that the game has a bunch of NPCs to kill just for gameplay but its also a plot point. Its remarked on many times in the game about how Joel kills an unusual amount of people and that he has remarkable skills that everyone else doesnt. NPCs are scared of him and confused by lines like "there better have been an army in that truck" "the others were slaughtered by a crazy man" and "your friend killed how many people?" Along with "The others are dead, some f*ckin tourist took them out" "how the hell did they manage to take them all out" and Ellies line of "at least theyre scared of us". I feel they could have easily incorporated Joels brutality and intimidation into the show by ackowledging how odd it is he's so skilled and having his actions back it up.

[@Cuunke]

People are suprised a 50 yo guy can move and be so active but its not odd to me because I have a friend who's 61 and he carves headstones for a living he's not buff but he is fit if you saw him you'd think he was in his 40's it's not impossible for someone of his age to be "productive" like Joel but I guess a bunch of gamers wouldn't know anything about staying fit ig

Before you leave the quarantine zone, you can “interact” with two guys standing against a wall.

[@IcyNightMedic]

Honestly, no tears were shed from me when it came to the show. I didn’t care about the characters involved with it, seemed real’ corny. But the game, they actually pulled at the heartstrings constantly with all of the betrayal to the small lines thrown in here and there, throughout scenic views mostly. One of my favorite parts being that they were walking through the museum and having a good father to daughter time within the game. Another reason why I don’t like the show version is that they have protagonist health - OP view such as when Joel is straight back to fighting even with a deep internal wound unlike Joel from the game who takes a while to recover.

Awesome breakdown sir, it inspired me to do my own kill count where I went all out and got every kill I could in the game. Here's my breakdown. Throughout the game my count is as follows. Joel: 193 Infected kills 119 runners 51 clickers 17 stalkers 6 bloaters 255 (insane numbers here) Human kills 15 smugglers 27 fedra soldiers 123 Pittsburgh hunters 28 bandits (tommy's dam chapters) 33 cannibals 26 fireflies (including Marlene) 3 doctors (yep...) Ellie: 68 infected kills (includes gameplay kills where she got a couple with takedowns) 38 runners 25 clickers 4 stalkers 1 bloater 62 humans kills 3 Pittsburgh hunters (1 in the cutscene and 2 where she sniped them in the plaza) 59 cannibals I'm confident I got every kill I could here and even went out my way at some points like where Ellie's getting chased by the cannibals you can go back and shoot the two who come after her. Also this was done on grounded. Safe to say the game went a bit overboard with the violence and I can understand why the show toned it back a bit for realisms sake.

Well, the answer to "who's more deadly" it's pretty obvious to me.

Joel in the game is literally a one man army. P.S: I edited the comment to make my point clearer

[@thecowboy9698]

I was surprised by how much they toned down the combat skills of Joel in the show. In the game, he was like Liam Neeson's character Bryan Mills from the movie Taken. Incidently, based on the Taken trilogy, I think Liam Neeson would've made an excellent Joel. And I'm frankly a little surprised that apparently nobody approached him for the role. But I guess it makes sense they toned down Joel's character in the show, given that in the show he's 56 years old, and while he certainly isn't a pansy by any means, a 56 year old man isn't gonna have the same physical capability and resilience he did when younger. Age catches up with everyone. What I did think was a mistake on the part of the show is it rushed through the first season. They should've stretched it over two seasons, I think.

I think that the taming down of the violence makes sense. It's better to only kill when you have to in scenarios where bullets and people might be limited. Also the show focuses a lot on the story, and doesn't have to include gameplay segments. While it is sad that the show had to cut some content, the new content it added much makes up for it.

[@petermj1098]

Gameplay shows how brutal of a person Joel actually is. In the game there are moments where you fight where Ellie comments how brutal Joel is. And the show cuts out the part of the game where Joel teaches Ellie how to shoot a rifle and Ellie protects Joel while he clears out an area. That moment was a personal moment of Joel teaching Ellie to defend herself and others and they totally cut it out.

[@genesiscda4847]

In the game, Joel is a force to be reckoned with. In the show, he’s a regular apocalypse-survivor guy who just keeps getting lucky.

[@lanztersgaming9653]

Joel's bodycount just went dozens higher by the finale.

[@litjeff475]

Now, how many times did Joel got killed ? Game: Yes Show: Nil In real no spawning ... calculate your move (how cool would it be to start over, can dodge my ex next time pretty easy)

[@bluesky2195]

How many times did Joel get killed? None in my playthrough and none canonically.

[@sinfinite7516]

What happens when you count only non-infected kills?

[@KerioFive]

Joel put the fire in firefly 🔥💀

[@jonk3714]

Joel was so much more bad ass in the game. The show softened him a lot, and Pedro Pascal is too lovable to come off that stoic and dangerous.

[@anordinarytrashcan5071]

definitely, I think some lines are way too soft compared to Troy Baker's performance. Examples: "You'd just come after her" and "I'll pop your goddamn (Although this line was slightly different in the show) knee off". His stance is also not very scary, for lack of a better word.

[@shanmantv]

I think thats the point

[@tiredSPACE22]

​@@anordinarytrashcan5071 and I think this is actually better for a main character, when watching the game again I found joel kind of ruthless lol

[@jonk3714]

@@tiredSPACE22 i think he became ruthless because he lived through 2 decades in an apocalypse. I think the show made him much more likable and more of a moral character which i guess was what they were going for but I never thought Joel was a moral character and that made him super interesting. The show kinda took that aspect away bc he’s a good guy most of the time except when he needs to kill he becomes evil. I didn’t love that juxtaposition but thats me.

[@tiredSPACE22]

@JonK yeah i get it, for me I really found more likeable an emotionally engaging Joel in the hbo show than the game, I feel like it's more open for me to like him than the version in the game, which i think Joel hbo is more Based on the Joel we see on Tlou part 2

[@queenannsrevenge100]

Also at 6:35 I think you might have missed Joel killing the guy that Ellie wounded. (9 vs. 8?)

[@footchiken]

Love it

[@me-lol87]

Its kinda funny how the game kill count you got is on the lower end. In some of these sections I didnt even know you could get a kill count that low😂

[@Jaime.Lannister]

Enter Psycho Rick

[@Bitterflie.s]

Does anyone know the music at 12:29? It sounds really nice lol

[@epiccakesgaming]

The song playing in the background of the video that plays during that part is called Piano Moment by Benjamin Tissot. If you meant the song that plays during the cutscene in the game it's All Gone (Reunion) by Gustavo Santaolalla.

[@Bitterflie.s]

@@epiccakesgamingthank you!

[@romartuazon4428]

here at 4.33k subs

[@megatrondeadpool3116]

4:37 Hold on. Did you just say that Joel has met Frank before? That doesn't line up with the story because Joel didn't know who Frank was when he saw him hanging from the ceiling.

[@chadcooper1250]

You forgot about the passenger in the truck that was ramming cars chasing Ellie, they definitely in the explosion which Joel caused

[@rainbowcloudss_]

9:35 LMAOO that is so true haha

[@yabigboiiii9703]

All Joel’s gotta do is pull out a Cloth to heal a Shotgun Blast in the game

[@Kaydenceanne]

the only one i think you may have missed is in the hbo show, the guy who was with david! ellie used the butcher kn!fe on him! (the man who brought her the medicine)

[@squishy7024]

Number of kills in the game can be found out by taking the number of most people possable to kill and least people to kill, then add them together then divide by two, if a decimal round down.

[@Mat_mep]

I would do impassable kills where it’s impossible not to kill them since it’s the only way to move foward towards the gameto, plus cutscenes, but if it’s one that you can easily avoid, that one should be take out since it could be him taking it stealthy
