was Joel a good guy or bad guy in The Last of Us

[The Devil's Advocate]

In that situation with those options yeah a good person would have let them have her because the bloodshed involved with saving her cost far more lives than letting them have her.

so if was your daughter/sister/mother... you'd have said "ok sounds good" and then walked on home?

 

[Deezay]

He was a bytchmade fakkit. Carrying ladders and pallets for little girls

Don't ever have a kid.

#HOH movement on this forum would say that's the right move.

 

[Malachi Coleman]

Too many simple minded idiots who think people and the world is that black and white "good" and "bad" bullshyt.

 

[Malachi Coleman]

How many people did he kill at the end just because he didn't want to let go of one life? He walked in that building and murdered everyone when he could have walked away and the girl would have likely died but all those soldiers would have went home to their families.

You can't be this delusional.

 

[Mowgli]

Bad guy.

He never would have brought ellies dumb ass if his friend didnt beg him.

It's hard to say. He's a martyr for sure though.

You can say bad, because ellie could've saved lives with her death.
You can say good, because maybe he saw through their bullshyt, and realized or hope that there would be a better way.

Lol yes I wenthdhsin djfi

 

[Lord Beasley]

I think the point of the story was to prove that morality is very relative to ones situation.

A "good guy" may do "bad guy" things if the situation dictates it.

Complications

 

[Neil Tyson]

Can't really say he's bad or good.

On one hand that group tried many times using the same method on chimps, and failed. They also found other immune people and failed, if I were Joel I wouldn't sacrifice Ellie like that especially when I've come to know her as a daughter.

 

[Rigby.]

If it was a 100% chance Ellie could've saved humanity, yeah


But for a chance? Hell nah

I also don't fukk with the decision to merk every doctor on sight. nikka literally lessened the survival of humanity by another 10% with every decision he made

 

[Blaze500]

why did his brother leave him?

 

[Why-Fi]

it was stated ingame that they found somebody who was immune and they failed to make a cure and the person died in the process so joel was in the right for saving her

the right choice for who? remember joel was the only single solitary person that wanted the outcome we saw

 

[Detroit Wave]

They attempted a cure with an immune person before and failed. Joel knew that and did what shoulda been done
