[@ZaphodJan]

Awww Joel doesn't like the comics but he reads them anyway just to find topics with Ellie

[@JoseGutierrez-jd8ss]

And he had a space book in his house, learning stuff only to talk with Ellie about it. That is something only a father figure would do.

[@zaksnow2233]

@XKillO8X emotions are a little more complicated than simply the fact that treating someone like crap simply implies you won't be seriously wounded by seeing them die in front of you. Ellie really did care for Joel. She didn't particularly like finding out that he lied to her in the last few years of knowing him but [SPOLIERS AHEAD] it is clear she was going to try to forgive him the night before he would die for his flaws at the end of the game and from what I gather she remembers forgiving him and realizes, in turn, she needs to forgive Abby for killing him (hence the flashback image of Joel playing his guitar on his porch which we will later get context for). Abby also should have been able to forgive Joel for killing her father but couldn't and lost herself just as many have pointed out Ellie does throughout the game. Say what you want about Joel's death and how it makes no sense with his character, but this game is a masterpiece when it comes to handling complex emotions.

[@MM-hi]

@XKillO8X because he lied to her? Can you not get that through your thick skull?

@Killan8x Ellie is a teenager, teenagers treat their parents like crap often. Plus, Ellie was becoming suspicious of Joel. She did care about Joel's death, because they made amends the night before. In the last scene of the last flashback, Joel basically tells Ellie he got her out of that hospital because she was like a daughter to him and didn't want to lose another daughter

I've said it before somewhere else. We DON'T want to HATE Abby.

Choosing Abby over Ellie and trying to push this deep narrative on what revenge can do to people but it's like BRO you could've introduced Abby into the game and created a very decent and sympathetic character and then finally in the 3rd decide whether or not to pull the trigger. It's like watching Rocky and then Apollo dies in Rocky ll. You don't just do that man especially when we just started to feel the characters

Feel bad for her VA

[@potatochicko]

The issue is that this is a GAME. Something is wrong if every time we play as Abby we intentionally jump off cliffs, but then are forced back into keeping her alive. Her story could work in a show/movie but she is the complete enemy of the characters that Neil Druckmann made us love. It is literally the fault of the writers of the first game that we don't like Abby, it's how we're SUPPOSED to feel after how they told the story of part 1. Asking us to try to sympathise with her is one thing, but you can't make us play as her and prevent her from dying. The icing on the cake was the boss fight against Ellie. There is no reason why we wouldn't surrender Abby up to Ellie every time. I feel like they forgot the fundamentals of why video games are immersive and got too lost in the narrative.

[@amylake9064]

@@MM-hi the writing disregards Joel's caution. Yes, he's cautious about people finding out Ellie is immune, but he's still cautious. He bugs Jesse about her patrols because hes worried about her safety. I don't buy the "Jackson softened him" argument at all. As we know, he is still worried about Ellie on patrols. Joel does patrols too. Meaning he has to be sharp and careful. Yes, patrols are mostly focused around infected, but the first game establishes that Jackson has issues with bandits. In this game, Ellie mentions that Jackson hides their lookouts well (obviously from other people.) Being in Jackson would put them at more ease than being out in the world, just the two of them; they could be relatively worry-free inside of the walls of Jackson because they know they're being protected. This would not soften them, though. They all do patrols. They're all protecting the community. It's not just themselves they're looking after, but the entire community. I'd think this would put them on the look-out for anything suspicious. I buy Joel and Tommy saving a group from a hoarde. I don't buy them telling them their names, allowing themselves to be cornered, and not questioning at all what a heavily armed group is doing so close to Jackson - the community they're supposed to be protecting and defending. I think that entire sequence was lazy writing. They had a plot they wanted to make, so they made the characters bend to that. They put plot above established characterization, which is lazy. I don't mind that Joel died. I also respect the cruelty of the world they live in. Joel could have been bitten or gotten shot at any point, that's just the sad reality of this world, happens all the time. I just hate how they made Tommy and Joel act so stupidly and out-of-character.

Let's be honest. Joel was right, there was no cure. Where the hell will you find the resources for mass production in that state of the world?

[@matics898]

Not only that. Those that get bitten and actually manage to escape the infected must be a very small minority of people. Chances are, if you are in a situation where you get bitten, you'll get torn apart too. So a vaccine would be fucking useless even if you could mass produce it. And do we really think that the fireflies (who for all their talk of freedom from oppression and saving the world are nothing more that a bunch of violent murderers and terrorists) would just give the vaccine freely to everyone? I very much doubt that.

I never understood this sudden jump in character, I understand Ellie growing up, but its retconn for her to suddenly struggle to have a decent conversation with her foster father. I just wish they gave us a decent reason for it, other than Ellie becomes edgy young adult.

[@SoldatDuChristChannel]

There was a good reason, she learns the truth about how he lied to her, its actually really well done, the good story is hidden behind random flashbacks and cutscenes, make sure you find them all, it will make you feel better

She was like this in the end of the first game too

Y’all mean to tell me that a dude that took out a bloater with a freaking machete got killed by a freaking golf club?!

[@BaronVladHarkonnen]

Well yeah. He’s still human. get enough blows to the head with a golf club it’ll eventually kill you

[@BaronVladHarkonnen]

Lee 80s yeah yeah everything that lead up to it made no sense I’m speaking in terms of physics

[@exkalidu5209]

@Lee 80s did you even play the game? It was tommy who told abby his and joel's name. Why? Because they were chased down by a horde of zombies and Tommy wanted to make communication easier. You know, in a sitation between life and death you have to trust strangers at some point to secure your survival. Also you can't expect a person to attack you after you saved the person's life.

[@exkalidu5209]

@Lee 80s that wouldn't change anything if he didn't confirm it.

[@exkalidu5209]

@Lee 80s what? Joel and his brother Tommy, living in Jackson.(Abby knew this) Now tell me the probability that there is another Joel from Jackson who has a brother named Tommy.

[@EP0_0]

Ok based on the comments, it’s seems everyone would have rather had the flashbacks as the base game rather than what we got instead. And I agree 😤

The end might have been too much, but deep inside us we know that Ellie still has Tommy, Maria and Dina...yet, Joel is gone and that is the most painful thing ever done in a videogame. If Naughty Dog is serious on making a Third game, I truly hope they give Ellie a new purpose to fight for after Joel’s death. Like she did with him.

[@SoldatDuChristChannel]

I agree, there relationship and how it develops in part two is actually very well done. It should have all been told in chronological order instead of chopped up alongside the the terrible writing that all happened after joel died.

[@mbovb006]

I really loved seeing how Tommy became Uncle Tommy.

[@nickb6425]

I think this is where people would say that Joel hasn't lost his cautious side, like where he tells Ellie to put her mask on. But I really think above all else, this is Joel just trying to cover for himself. He harps on Ellie about it for a bit; he seems insecure, like if someone found out Ellie was immune, they would most likely talk to Ellie about how a rampaging maniac destroyed society's chance of getting a vaccine via the one girl who was immune. If there were dozens of people that were immune like Joel said, then Joel wouldn't have as much of a reason to hide it and be "cautious" about that of all things.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

I love how not only does Joel adopt Ellie as his daughter but Tommy takes her as his niece as well.

[@6joe16ful]

7:01 isn’t that the same place Abby was like “ I got friends near by hiding out” when she, joel, and tommy got overran by the heard? If so, would that mean that Joel and tommy, at the time, had Territory advantage? And if they did, WHY DID THEY JUST LET A RANDOM STRANGER CALL THE SHOTS?! I’m not gonna shit on the story but I feel this is a fallacy: Joel and tommy “ have been on both sides” in this apocalyptic world. So it’s official. Joel’s death made 0 sense

[@6joe16ful]

You get a better shot at 8:34

Honestly...I feel like THIS should've been TLOU2, ending Ellie finds out Joel lied. TLOU2 honestly should've been the 3rd one. ✌🏽
