A lot of fans get really mad at Joel and Tommy letting themselves get fucked over by Abby's crew, saying that the Joel we got to meet in TLoU 1 would never have been so trusting But I mean that's the point isn't it It's his own denial of the past that gets him

Like even with just the ending of TLoU 1, it kind of doesn't matter what your read on the moral choice there was Maybe Jerry was just a wannabe Dr Mengele but even evil Nazi doctors have family who aren't just gonna let it go if you execute them

(Honestly the less sympathetically you view the Fireflies the more inevitable the revenge narrative becomes Maybe they were just another crew of bandits who needed this mad dream of a cure to convince themselves they were something more than that)

This plays into my overall take on the game, in that they weren't saying revenge is 'bad', per se; as I've said before, they don't really give a pass to anyone. I think they were saying that revenge is ultimately futile; you're inevitably going to wrong someone with loved ones.

Which I know kind of seems like a weird distinction to draw, maybe, but I think it's an important one.
