I have a savior complex. :yeshrug:Yeah I'm rescuing the kids in dire times.

They didn’t even wake Ellie up, didn't tell her about the low chance survivability, didn't let her make that decision. :picard:Joel was justified and did what any normal person would do.

This is why the story don't make sense

Seraphites were their sworn enemies though, but they saved her and she changed her mind :ohhh:
Children are the catalyst for change in the game and TLOU series
If you want to go down that rabbit hole Abby going against the entire WLF for Seraphite children in 3 days was not believable for some people
However, in real life children are the most likely cause for someone to act differently

That's only one perspective.

Abby and her crew had no knowledge of Joel's relationship to ellie, for all they knew he could have took payment and killed the fireflies so he could double up selling ellie to someone else. It's not like he had the best reputation.

They didn't even know ellie was still alive, that black chick ellie killed seemed surprised when she found out who ellie was, and then tried to reason with her once she knew.

Did Abby know that?

If Abby didn't know that, maybe she should've questioned Joel:mjlol:

In a lawless world, you traveling across the country to ask the guy who murdered your love one why he did that? Or you putting the shotty to his knee?


Anybody with revenge in their heart would before using the golf club. You'd at least shout why you bout to club em to death.:usure:Had Abby brought up Joel killing the doctor we'd have a completely different story on our hands


None of it makes sense and the ending definitely trash. We can atlest admit that

Joel knew ex-fireflies would catch him slipping eventually, thats why after he asked who they were….he was like oh, ok….get it over with.

Why would she question him? She had all the information she cared to know. She knews Joel was paid to deliver ellie, she knews her father was trying to do the right thing, and she knews Joel double crossed them in the end.

Nothing else mattered to her

You think ellie should have questioned abby before going after her?

Well she didn't know everything. Joel never double crossed them, he only did it to keep Ellie alive because she was basically a daughter to him

But that's besides the point, as killing him did nothing anyway. He saved her from being eatan alive and offered her group resources for survival. That alone is forgiveness. Story was badly written.
