Does Joel remind anyone else of this guy?
the similarities are there
I'm not speaking of looks. I should have been more clear. I meant the character style & development of the person.
Favre was that country, good ole boy that everyone could relate to. So is Joel. Favre was beloved at the beginning of his career because of this combined with 'resourceful' brilliance he would display. Joel does the same & you kinda like/admire Joel on his quest. Later in Favre's career you start to see the egotistical Favre that doesn't really care about the team or anyone else. Just his on selfish desires. The team suffers for it and Favre's popularity plummets. He becomes a person that generally everyone gives the on site by the time his career is over. Joel gives you that same feeling by the time you end the game. That he really isn't the person you thought he was. His ego & selfishness doomed all of humanity. Hardcore fans of Favre still rationalize his behavior and feel he had a right to do it. Pro Joel fans rationalize his decision (I'm pro Joel) and feel he had a right to lie bald face to Ellie as well.
