The Last of Us: and Joel's fateful decision

[Why-Fi]

no I think she knew. the circumstances were just too wonky for her to accept what he told her at face value. she might not have known exactly what happened but she knew joel took her out of there by force. just like joel didnt want to let her go she got attached to him too and accepted the lie he told her.

word you can tell by the way she wanted him to confirm he did everything he could. she gave a hard pause with it. she knew something...

Ellie wasn't shy about letting her feelings known. If she felt like he was lying she would have called him on it. Just kind of seems some of you want to create your own narrative here. In the sequel I hope she fines out for sure so we can get the necessary reaction from her and this debate can be put to rest.

He made the right call after hearing those tapes.

Tapes?

Tapes?

Yea if you scout around the firefly medical facility you come across a series of tapes documenting the other "ellies" that had come before. Basically, they'd had I think 6 prior tests with people who were immune and none of them yielded anything in the way of a cure.

His final decision was selfish, he hid the truth from Ellie. However, it was very understandable because Joel found his reason to continue to survive (Ellie).

This.

There was also ambiguity on what the Fireflys would actually do if they had a cure.
