If somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment…
I would do it all over again. ————
Joel sacrificed humanity’s chance at salvation because of his love for Ellie, and he has no regret. He is a flawed person but damn this is a powerful, human moment.
So I havent touched the second one yet because I'm experiencing it through the show, so if you respond, please dont spoil anything. But if the games didnt make the faction that were going to kill Ellie to create the cure more competent than the show did, In Joels shoes I wouldnt be fully confident they were even capable of creating a cure in the first place, that faction was a shit show
I won’t spoil anything. I will say that I thought the show was decent on its own but really was generally underwhelming compared with the game (with the exception of the episode 3 that told Bill’s story). This is true of the faction you mention as well who I thought came across as more competent in the game than the show. If you’re at all interested, I highly recommend you go play both games! They are in a class of their own for story telling in video games.
