I mean this is a bit of ludonarrative consonance, this is reflected in the gameplay This is why all your weapons have extremely limited ammo or they break after a few uses, and you constantly have to scrounge for supplies to make more

Like I said - yes, the world-that-was is gone. But it's still gone whether or not you made an extremely limited vaccine. The dream of bringing it back, embodied in clinging to pointless empty cities instead of torching places you don't use and manufacturing nothing, is poison.

Shit, the status quo in the future, the decent life people are able to manage to eke out in places like Jackson, *depends* on scroungers braving zombie-infested cities to loot them for their treasures That's Joel and Tess' whole job in 1

Torching all that and going "We'll just live off the land!", which is never brought up diegetically in the story as a possible solution, is also clearly a deeply fucked up idea

Two words. Hydroelectric dam. Hell the Seraphites are clearly manufacturing their own tools and weapons. I just think ppl are attached to the idea This Doomed Humanity bc it turns "saving Ellie" into a grand Made Ya Think transgression as opposed to "of course, fuck this shit"

I mean I do think the first game very clearly is meant to AT LEAST make us think Joel killed people who were understandable and had good motives and that his choice has great cost

I don't think that's mutually exclusive with my point. They can be grieving people and still absolutely need to be stopped for moral reasons.

Which is why I actually exist in what I suspect is Druckmann's intended perfect audience superposition of thinking allthe protagonists acted understandably throughout the series and none of them are clearly more right Except Sarah,the most badass of all playable TLOU characters
