[@aigami7928]

Joel had no choice to kill the fire flies if his goal was to save ellie, Joel used up all his luck by protecting ellie, if you played the first game, Joel could have died many times in the first game if it wasn't for ellie saving him 3 times during that hunter that almost killed him, & during the hospital part when he fell & plunge himself, also Henry saved him from drowning, & ellie saved him again when he was trapped inside that bus flooded in water...so that's a total of 4 times almost died..like Joel himself said, his luck was going to eventually run out, & his last luck ran out when he went to go look for ellie.

[@strikebomber2944]

@@dededede9257it’s called false advertising

[@The_winds_of_change]

​@@dededede9257the actual reason was because they rearranged the story structure after this trailer; originally you were to play as abbie fighting in the city, as her friends were one by one killed by an unknown person. Youd build (as a player) a liking and relationship with abbie and her friends, and then eventually the assailant would come for abbie (about a third the wzy through the game) and it would be revealed to be ellie killing them. (Until this point, you hadnt seen ellie or joel) From here you would switch to playing as ellie, youd kill abbies frienfs one by one, occasionally bumping into joel but being cold and distant towards him, and never actively engaging with him. Then youd have the fight with abbie, with abbie saying "we let you live, and you wasted it" which would then flash back to what we now know as the beginning of the game, with joel dying. That was supposed.to be the twist. All of the kidnapping of abbie and lev, ellie rewcuing them and letting them go was added much later. Also they moved joels death to the beginning of the game because they wanted player urgency as ellie to feel as angry and hurt as she was, which kinda worked i think. But still, id rather they have had the "joel is dead" twist midgame after building a relationship with abbie, would have really made the conflict more engaging i think

[@addieeeson]

As good as that sounds, I would’ve felt like I was playing the same story again. I appreciate the approach Naughty Dog took because it left an impression on me more than a “Ellie and Joel go on another adventure together” plot. I also truly believe Part II is only there to set up Part III, which odds are will be a redemption story for all the characters because that’s typically how trilogy’s go.

[@Chessheromusic]

This is the kind of wish fulfillment people who grieve feel It made sense that Joel would let his guard down to save a girl of Ellie’s age It’s the closest a video game could get to us feeling the real loss of a loved one

[@DaviddeJesusBuenoYanes]

I remember in the early days of the trailers reading that one theory that basically went saying that Ellie and Dina had been ass@ulted or sum like that and that they killed Dina, then the game was about Ellie going on revenge for the death of her gf and then Joel eventually ends up going after her to help her achieve that and by also also doing that and hoping that she would had forgiven him for what happened on the hospital

[@KoolKeithProductions]

lol the only reason why they added Joel to the trailer is because SOOOOOO many ppl guessed the entire plot of Part 2 just by the teaser released 3 years before the game came out (Joel gets killed by fireflies, and Ellie avenges his death), so the next trailer was designed to imply that it wouldn't be Joel who died. Hell, 1 trailer implied Dina would be the one, and Joel will help Ellie avenge her. We were too smart for our own good 😢

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@Gojo-sm6xl well they didn't give it away, but they definitely hinted at it

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@Gojo-sm6xl most ppl were spoiled by the death, so they trashed the game out of context. I...mostly avoided spoilers at the time. All l knew was something bad happened to Joel, a new character was hated, and the game was being trashed. I honestly thought that maybe the new character convinced Ellie to kill Joel for lying to her in Part 1. At the time that's the only thing l thought could have gotten ppl to hate on such a beloved franchise.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@Gojo-sm6xl yeah l had no problem with how Joel died. My issue was forcing us to play as the person who killed him for the majority of the game 😳

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@Gojo-sm6xl I suggested that the game should have started us as Abby. I know it kinda does, since the opening combat tutorial is as her, but there's no story there. Nothing to connect to her emotionally. Remember how Part 1 started? With that epic escape as we play as Sarah? Imagine if we played as young Abby while her and her parents escape a Scars attack, and her mom ends up dying during it? This would have accomplished so many things. It would have gotten us to connect to her emotionally since we would have saw her deal with trauma early in her life. It would have shown us why she would later join the WLFs, since they hate Scars as much as she does. And it would have shown us why she's so protective of her Dad, since she was too young to protect her mom, and now because of Joel, history repeated itself. She failed to protect another parent, and it broke her mentally. We actually would have cared about her BEFORE she killed Joel, instead of the game trying to force us to afterwards. Hopefully the upcoming show adaption of Part 2 does something like that.

[@Zorda-Smk]

I wish bro I would’ve been so happy and shocked how he survived that

[@absolutemei]

ok stop, you're making me cry

[@originalh1h169]

Now that I've seen this. This could have been a pretty cool spin if we went from flashbacks of younger Ellie and Joel together, to all of a sudden older Ellie starts having a mental breakdown and every time she was having an episode in a dangerous moment there was Joel "coming back from the dead" to be the calm in her head. Like imagine a scene where she starts to breakdown right before she goes looking for more WLFs that are on the other side of a destroyed wall and Joel comes crouching up next to her, says he will take care of it. Then you get to play as Joel for a moment, but once you leave the area it enters a cutscene where we find out it was actually Ellie the entire time.

[@nicklopez8004]

Reminds me of Lee and clementine from the walking dead game, where clementine has encounters with lee in her own mind but at the age she is at that moment and him knowing exactly whats going on even though he is dead

[@bobbymcdaniel9282]

Honestly I love the story as it is. The impact is one that is unmatched in gaming. Though I think an equally amazing story would be hyping up Dina as this love of Ellie's, and killing her being this huge deal. Or even Tommy. A Joel + Ellie combo in part 2 would go crazy

[@militaryMJB1945]

[@nikonjn3564]

I’m kinda thinking the original plot would be almost what we got but a bit different Abby would come to Jackson try to befriend Ellie Joel Jesse and Tommy and to an extent Maria to be seen as a friendly in Jackson then later reveal herself as a victim of the Salt Lake City hospital incident and for Joel taking her father away from Abby. Abby would take away something from Ellie possibly killing Dina, Joel would then finally confess what happened at the hospital and Ellie would have mix feeling she’d still be mad at Joel for lying but also glad he did what he did for her to live cause he cares and if he hadn’t don’t what he did Ellie would’ve never met Dina. Ellie would then leave Jackson alone but later realizing she can’t take handle this journey alone and Joel would reveal himself saying his phrase from the video “You think I’d let do all this on your own” leading to another adventure with both Joel and Ellie
