And like I have not heard of a single character in this game that, in the role of a protagonist, I would feel the slightest qualm about unceremoniously mowing down. And I mean that literally. Not. A single. Character.

The idea that *both* Joel and the Fireflies needed to die (and, I guess, Ellie as well) is... a take

I'm talking from Ellie's perspective here (who doesn't really get a say in Joel's death iirc?)

Oh if you're just saying you're pro-Ellie that's not that hot a take One reason TLoU 2 is so upsetting to people is that it forces you to actually play as Abby yourself, which means *no matter what* the game must end with you "failing"

Like it's kind of a slap in the face to simple identification The whole idea of playing as Abby is it shoves the arbitrariness of "playing as" somebody in your face, it makes it super clear you're just an actor in the show

There's no way for you the player to decide that you "really are" Ellie and are on Ellie's side and therefore the moment Abby becomes a character under your control a mysterious force makes her jump off a cliff

I mean you can tho, you can just die as Abby and leave the game off

Creating a time paradox, since this happens several days before the previous scene where Ellie fights her

Oof. Don't get me started on Kojima and how precious that guy gets about Time Paradoces

The funny thing is the earliest moment at which the game makes it possible for you controlling Abby to cause a timeline where she dies is after Joel is already dead anyway so that doesn't change anything

It would mostly just guarantee Yara and Lev would've come to a grisly end (which is the point of forcing you to enter Abby's narrative at that point)
