[@VannywiththeFanny]

@UCjrp2Xktd_w8ITfd2gB4Wfw Dude you so naive lol. Joel lied. No buts, no BS. He fckin ruined it, to say Ellie "tortured" Joel over it is ridiculous brah. And thats sadly not evidence to back your claim. The game clearly states he can reverse engineer a vaccine with the "MUTATED GROWTH" on Ellies head. Yeah, not ordinary growth, the cure is IN ELLIES GROWTH!!! Get with the program brah. It could've saved the fckin world and Joel kept her for himself, then lied to her. Self centered as literal fck.. Also... impossible in OUR world, you know. The real one😐.... Good thing this is a fictional GAME UNIVERSE!!!! And has no bearing on the real world.

Why she hasn't devolved into a flesh-eating beast is a mystery, but it isn't one that's going to be solved by cutting her head open with one day's worth of basic tests.

When Joel killed him, it wasn’t personal, again, he was the one thing that stood in between Joel and his surrogate daughter and from a storytelling perspective I can’t overlook that because I spent an entire game learning to love and understand Joel for all his flaws.

First of all 5 years of living in comfort does not fix 20 years of hell, so they had to make tommy and Joel dumb to death. In addition, they did not live in total comfort, since in the dialogues it was said that they had to do patrols, with which they went out of that comfortable city to face what was outside.

@@Ouromia My problem isn't that Abby killed Joel, it was the way it was done. Joel was killed an hour into the story, after forgetting that you shouldn't walk into a dark basement with no easily accessible exits with a large group of armed strangers. He was then killed in a very unfulfilling way, by Abby who thinks "killing bad" as she tortures Joel to death with a golf club. He's then talked down by characters and casted as the bad guy. There were thousands of better ways he could've died and still portray the message of the Cycle of Violence and Revenge. But on the bright side it gave Tommy a chance to shine, because he was great.

Cause it is. They nerfed him to the point where it ain't believable. 20+ years of rugged and cold blooded survival skills and instincts wear off in just 4 years of "relative peace" (that isn't actually peaceful cause it's still a fuckin zombie apocalypse)? Yeah right, it honestly sounds like a bad fan fic. The way Joel acted immediately before his death goes against every bit of sense that anyone with combat and confrontation experience/knowledge would have, regardless of how "peaceful" life is for them.

[@prefix253]

@@VannywiththeFanny Obviously, but he could have avoided it and he almost definitely would have avoided it had he stayed true to the character that he's been shown to be in the first game (I'm not criticizing the fact that he was killed, it's that his behavior was extremely unlike how he was in the first game, which is why I say he was "nerfed"). He willingly walked down into what is essentially a basement without any weapons, while also letting armed strangers surround him and block the door, and he was pretty much clueless to it all up until the very last moment where he got shot. This is the same Joel who ran over a man asking for help because he recognized it was a set up. That kind of knowledge, experience, and instinct that took 20+ years to develop doesn't "fade away" just because you've lived in a relatively protected village for 4 years (while a zombie apocalypse is still raging on need i remind you, so it isn't exactly as "peaceful" as some argue).

And also that dude clearly looks like he just got ordered out of the sewers he was living in to try and get them lmao. Dude, are you kidding me?....And where where they to go? There's a winter storm first off. Causing zero visibility as we're shown when Ellie loses Dina in it. And not only this, they have horses that won't be able to make the trip back to Jackson so they have to save them. You'd save you dog wouldn't you? And what about the infected horde right behind them as well? Im sure Joel being the superhero you make him out to be could just turn and x-ray vision them down right?😂 And also when they get to that house it's 50 seconds before the job is done. Not really a substantial time to think of what's to come. And just a little detail, if you watch Joel I'm that final scene of his he clearly looks like he's putting the pieces together and realizing,"oh, I've literally walked into my casket". This is why you don't see him arguing a lick. He just takes it, and tells them to, as Bill would say, "GEtOWnWItHIT"

[@prefix253]

@@VannywiththeFanny Not at all what I'm saying, Joel from the first game would still be suspicious of Abby and her crew because again: they are a group of armed strangers, not to mention that Abby's crew is super close to their base and extremely well armed (the black brothers in the first game -forgot their names- were also seemingly well mannered and of pure intentions, yet Joel was still suspicious of them for a long while). Joel and anyone who has survived that long in a legitimate zombie apocalypse would know that appearances can be deceiving lmao, Abby looking "clean" and "well mannered" obviously doesn't mean jack shit in that kind of environment, especially when you're a man who has a target on his head. Do you seriously think that after nearly killing a whole firefly base and their leader, that Joel wouldn't suspect the possibility of people coming after him? With that in mind, it makes all the more sense to be extremely suspicious of strangers, especially ones that are so close to his residence while being armed to the teeth. Regardless, I agree Joel n Tommy had to go indoors with them due to the snow storm and zombie horde, I never denied that. However, that still doesn't justify Joel's (and Tommy's) behavior while inside the house. Like I said, based on the previous game, Joel isn't going to just voluntarily walk away from ALL of his weapons and equipment, voluntarily follow armed strangers downstairs into a basement, voluntarily walk into the very middle of said basement and away from all exits and cover, and allow the armed strangers to completely surround him. You mention that only by the very end does Joel connect the dots and get suspicious, which is exactly my point. Had Joel been accurate and consistent to his character that we've seen thus far, he would have been suspicious the whole time and wouldn't have allowed himself to get surrounded in such a helpless situation. I'm not even necessarily saying he would have won the fight, he still might have gotten killed (like you said, he isn't a God), but he definitely would have stayed with his weapons, near the exits, and/or nearby cover, being suspicious of the strangers, thus maximizing any chance of survival from a potential ambush.

And when Joel said his name and everyone got quiet and started staring at Joel he didn’t even do anything he just said “ y’all at like you heard of us or something” and I’m pretty sure Tommy should’ve seen Abby grab the shotgun from Owen or not even that just want everyone stays quiet that should instantly clicked in Joel and tell him his mind something is wrong
