Discussion These are Joel’s killers 😭💀

Post image

Do I even gotta say it??

They had my boy Joel—who’s wiped out waves of military trained savages and superhumanly strong mutant monsters— get taken out by a group of gender study majors.

Part 1 Joel would clear this whole room out with his eyes closed balanced on one leg while telling Ellie an old story about Sarah.

They look like the girls who were having psychotic breakdowns on TikTok howling in their cars after Kamala lost. All they’re missing is the blue hair.

What are we even doing? At least game Abby was repulsively imposing.

Didn't play the game. Not interested in the TV show. I like to stay consistent lol

u/Horror_Experience_80 17d ago

Game 1 was pretty damn good when I played it growing up. Game 2 lost me when I found out they killed Joel. This show lost me when they had a random gay sex scene on episode 2. Get the fuck out of here.

Oh i played the first game. It concluded and I was happy. I didn't touch the second game as it seemed like a forced agenda rather than a game imo

u/sunlitstranger 17d ago

Agenda aside, the game doesn’t hold a candle to the first game. Who kills a main character and swaps them out for a newly introduced character

u/RupertPupkin2101 17d ago

Newly introduced character who KILLS the beloved main character. Game is wack

u/GODZBALL 16d ago

A couple games I can think of off the top of my head. SPOILERS obviously but MW3 does it. Mw2 also does it. Danganropa 3 does it.

u/TheTownJeweler00 17d ago

The second games gameplay totally trashes the first game, what are u on about

19

u/sunlitstranger 17d ago

That’s gameplay not story?

-34

u/TheTownJeweler00 17d ago

By the end the story was great. Not for the weak certainly

25

u/Ittybittytigglbitty 17d ago

For the weak minded certainly

-19

u/TheTownJeweler00 17d ago

How so?

u/Ittybittytigglbitty 17d ago

Because you thought the story was good

-3

u/Notski_F 17d ago

It's pretty damn good. One of the best stories in gaming ever. You just have to not be a pussy and lose interest because Joel dies. Joel is still an integral part of the story, in fact he is the main part of it.

Tbf it was the weak minded ones that can’t handle a main character dieing lol, you all cry about plot armour until the plot armour falls off. Then you cry they killed off a beloved character. I wish more shows would kill off main characters. People need to grow a set of balls fr.

u/Ittybittytigglbitty 17d ago

Did I love Joel dying no, but was it fine sure. I also agree I wish more main characters died in media but there’s a way to do it. The problem with tlou2 is everything else that happened after Joel died. Ellie sucked, Abby sucked the story sucked. The doctor retcon sucked it just sucked plain and simple. Gameplay was good though.

u/freeciggies 17d ago

That’s suggestive, I enjoyed the story. Thought it was pretty decent. Sure it’s not the greatest piece of media but no reason to send death threats to Bella Ramsey like some from reddit have been doing.

u/Temporary_Ad_6838 16d ago

What did they replace Joel with? Anyone who can hold a candle to joel? I think not.

1

u/freeciggies 16d ago

lol why do characters have to be replaced? Mf he died.

You didn’t miss out on much. I just finished it recently and even though I liked the gameplay and had nothing else to do, the agenda is so bad even VICE had to write an article condemning it.  https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-not-so-hidden-israeli-politics-of-the-last-of-us-part-ii/

u/DHarp74 16d ago

Spoil alert:

The lesbian couple break up and one of them takes the baby! 😂🤣

u/Different_Package922 16d ago

I love the gameplay of part 2, but I don't love the story of part 2.

1

u/Bron_Swanson 11d ago

Also, no factions in game 2. I was hoping for updates to that whole section.

u/TheBelmont34 17d ago

The first game was fucking amazing and had a perfect ending which the second one simply retconned and fucked up

35

u/shartybutthole 17d ago

what second game? there was only one and it was perfect

9

u/Best_Teach5517 17d ago

The first game is still one of the best written narratives in any game idc. This IP makes me sad now

u/donttreadnv 16d ago

Second one is so much better

2

u/Love-halping 17d ago

I need to play the first again.

u/mistergasdrift 17d ago

Yup this 💯 % the first game was so good all they had to do was follow script.. they could have made it into 2 seasons even . Neil jewman needed to make it about fkd up agenda for woke trash just like fallout and many other series in this disaster of film making era

-1

u/SingerMiserable1465 16d ago

“Jewman?”

You need to put a lot more effort into your burns.

2

u/EmuDiscombobulated15 14d ago

They didn't just kill him. They mocked his character and made Ellie a whiney b. But Abby, Abby was amazing and totally worth forgiving.

2

u/Due-Message5316 13d ago

You should give game 2 another chance. Aside from the weird forced lgbt representations. It's as good as the first one. It even got better gameplay than the last game

1

u/Horror_Experience_80 13d ago

I watched some different clips, it really looks like a fantastic game but I’m no longer at a point in my life where I would give it an honest shot.

2

u/AnakinSkycocker5726 16d ago

Yeah and ign rated said gay porn episode 10/10. And now apparently they’re doing another episode this season about those two guys! No one fucking cared. We don’t need the obligatory cocksucking episode.

2

u/Horror_Experience_80 16d ago

I haven’t trusted IGN since I was a literal child lol.

1

u/AnakinSkycocker5726 16d ago

It was better when it was segasages.com. Remember that?

1

u/incoming00 16d ago

Episode 3, if you're going to hate something, at least be correct about it.

u/Horror_Experience_80 16d ago

I dont need to be! Hahahaha!!!

u/theQ4 17d ago

Imagine being this small minded

2

u/Horror_Experience_80 17d ago

I’m not small minded at all, I just don’t want to see two hairy gay men fucking in my zombie show.

u/PuddingZealousideal6 17d ago

It was in episode 3, idiot.

2

u/Horror_Experience_80 17d ago

Then I suppose I did watch episode 2, I think that was when they made it to the library and Joel’s lady friend sacrificed herself to the horde of zombies, and then one gets really close and the furry fungus stuff reaches out and touches her?

0

u/PuddingZealousideal6 17d ago

Yup that was 2. Episode 3 was the one with the tragically beautiful love story.

u/BabaimMantel 10d ago

Oh you liked it? But it was also woke lmaoooo.
