Found this which I feel perfectly explains the issue with Joel being killed off the way he was...

Again, the issue isn't that they killed him off, its HOW they killed him off...

Poorly written and poorly executed...

this literally says it all
how poorly written this game was

with all these incidents.... Joel was that guarded in his identity
and what makes it the most egregious, is these incidents happen before he committed his most notorious acts by killing a bunch of cults, scavengers leading all the way up to his destination by killing Marlene and a bunch of Fireflies

just makes no fukking sense

What I find funny about the #fukkJoel #TeamAbby crowd is; some of you were the same ones telling us how great the story and characters were in the first game.

Now, the main character gets killed to create the story plot and it's :manny:.

Note: I thought the first game hype was a bit over done.

What kind of argument is this? Those things aren’t mutually exclusive :dwillhuh:

You can have enjoyed the first game and its characters and still be ok with Joel getting his reckoning in the sequel :yeshrug:

Actions don’t exist or happen in a vacuum. Especially in a violent post-apocalyptic world. That L was coming and he knew it. Dude said “say your rehearsed speech and let’s get this over with”. The game is the game :ehh:

Also, Ellie has always been the crux and driving force of this franchise, I don’t know why brehs refer to Joel as the “main character”.

The more I think about it, the more I'm glad they "disrespected" Joel like that. Abby didn't give a single fukk about his life, and I don't blame her :yeshrug:
You kill somebody father then if they get the chance you might get that 9 iron :manny:
fukk Joel, I'm glad abby tortured her


She landed on the green on that nikkas dome

like real talk I’m not even here to defend Joel
I pretty much could care less at this point

BUT what I just don’t understand why people as y’all don’t see the bigger picture, the fact of the matter which I posted this question from the very beginning and not one single person has been able to answer
Abby‘s father did not have the right to take Ellie life and as Joel stepped into the operating room Abby father should’ve just backed off let Joel take Ellie and kept it fukking move-ing
he grabbed a shank put it in Joel face and the rest is history

Joel did not kill Abby‘s father
Abby‘s father killed himself


:yeshrug:

Both stances are not contradictory :dahell: liking how characters are written doesn't mean that they get to get special treatment when it comes to... Writing

You can like the first game and Joel and still say he deserved to die and it was good storytelling to kill him. You realize he isn't a real person right?:dwillhuh:

That was my position as soon as he pronounced the last word of The Last of Us 1 :hubie:

That's the shyt that made him irredeemable to me, at the time :hhh: (I loved it too :ohlawd:)

When Ellie said ":ld: Ok" it hit me that he probably fukked up their relationship big time (I didn't think I would ever actually see the ramifications tho :ohlawd:), but I was still too caught up in his POV

:yeshrug:
Its not like he was going to just murder Ellie just to kill someone, he took out the only chance for the cure for selfish reasons of him not wanting to lose another daughter figure again.

:yeshrug: This was the end of the last game so Joel had hella weapons, its not like he could've shot the guys leg off with a pump, he killed him in a murderous rage.

The whole point of the game is that you just can't be killing people, especially when they know who you are as one of those unknowns might have someone who will want to do something about that.

Joel thought he was just killing soldiers and lost his life, Abby thought she just killed Joel and got her friends killed. Elie just wanted to kill Abby and got Jesse killed, lost Dina, her relationship with Tommy, and seemingly everything she loves. Everything has consequences, especially actions from rage.

Shiiiet... I could have forgiven him for everything else. Everything he did up until his last words you could justify.

But when he has the opportunity, right here and there, to tell the truth and stand on his square like a man with all his flaws, he lies. With no actual reason to lie except that he was scared to lose his relationship with her. She was safe as far as he knew. He killed them all, and they were the ones who knew about Ellie. But to still lie after that showed me how weak and insecure he was. He deprived her of the right to know the truth, the truth that concerned her more than anybody else, just to safeguard her "love" for him. So fukking selfish. He didn't think about her; only himself.

Had he said: "We need to talk" I would have been like :hubie:

But when he lied I was like :hhh: "look at you..."

That was such a great ending :ohlawd: I loved arguing with folks about it too. Some dudes LOVE Joel, so no wonder they're heated when it comes to this game :steviej:
