      ...But that feels like a big misreading of them as an organization, even if you think brain coring Ellie was the right thing to do.

      I think it's reasonable to think the Fireflies are good. The writers of the games certainly think it's reasonable - them coming back and Abby and Lev joining them is literally the bright thing the load screen changes to once you beat the game

      The issue is thinking that 1) you are on Joel's side all the time and 2) you like the Fireflies

      It's a double sided thing, isn't it At first it seems like truly believing the world can be fixed makes you the hero and accepting this is just the way the world is now and humanity's slow death is inevitable makes you the villain, or at least an antihero

      Yeah, like, it's pretty telling that the one thing that's constantly associated with these people who want to Bring Back the Old instead of finding a new paradigm in which to live is torture, fanaticism, and death; any sacrifice can be justified by "a world saved/reborn"

      On the other hand, as the situation is presented to us, accepting the status quo means accepting that the eventual extinction of humanity is inevitable (the Cordyceps keeps on spreading through the environment and there's nothing the survivors can do about it)

      This is the whole thing with the flashback with Adam and Sidney in 2 It's an explicit rule in Jackson that Jackson's safety and prosperity comes from putting Jackson first and letting the outside world take care of itself

      Eh, they explicitly trade with people and allow trade and newcomers. What I'd say is the essential difference is Jackson is approaching this for the long haul and the Fireflies want just like...one grand redemptive reclamation within their lifetimes.

      Which comes back to the whole "this is a *religion* to the Fireflies," it's not like... building a future, building something sustainable. It's "we are working to reclaim the old world that is our due, within our lifetime, and for this greater good any sacrifice is acceptable."

      The Vaccine, after all, is treated as like flipping a switch! "We have this Vaccine and now all is well, History has Changed." Which... doesn't make any sense. How are they going to distribute it? How are they manufacturing it in bulk? It's a cultish Hail Mary play.

      Well, that's the thing though, even if it isn't a miraculous turning point it's a starting point I mean one reason they haven't cleared out all those Bloater nests by brute force is that that's incredibly dangerous, and a vaccine would make it only somewhat dangerous

          Ehh, the Infected are dangerous enough that a bite is probably just a precursor to death anyways. But in any case, the Fireflies act as if this one tiny cult of, functionally, maybe forty or fifty people tops, with a single surgeon, no manufacture or trade, can *save the world*

          That's magical thinking. That's not people who are invested in a real plan with infrastructure and logistics - that's an apocalypse cult promising a glorious redemption.

          We may be the victim of gameplay and story segregation here Like to make the game playable neither Joel nor Abby is as vulnerable to an instant death sentence from a bite or a scratch as they should be It's why the Tess reveal in 1 is such a shock

          We may be. But *mooks* also deal with infected with some frequency. I dunno, I feel like you get more by embracing the infection with this theme than rejecting it.
