At some point you're just fighting against the authors for writing the setting to be what it is though Like you might as well argue that they shouldn't need a cure in the first place because the mutant Cordyceps shouldn't exist because it doesn't make sense

I'm not saying Joel's decision was wrong, or Ellie's Everyone's decisions were morally correct, and led to devastation and ruin, that's the nature of a tragedy

The whole thing with refusing to let a tragedy be a tragedy is picking sides, being like "Well if one of them had just admitted they were the asshole this could've been avoided"

Joel absolutely will not sacrifice his daughter's future for anyone else Neither will Jerry They are, in this respect, the same They just have different daughters That's where the tragedy comes from

Yeah, Jerry in fact rushes to operate BECAUSE a single day of delay could be the day that Abbie gets "ripped to pieces by a pack of clickers." He does it FOR Abby, more than anything.

like I'm sorry, there's just no real way to come out of TLOU2 not thinking that Jerry, *as textually depicted on screen* and not merely alluded to in incidental dialogue, was perfectly willing and indeed eager to murder a teenage girl for the hope of a history-shaping cure.

I mean, he starts crying as soon as Marlene leaves the room, which is what motivates Abby to reassure him and tell him she'd volunteer if she could

You do very much get the impression he didn't expect Abby to overhear their conversation and her knowing about it bothers him way more than he can articulate
