whenever I read Troy Baker’s takes on Joel I wonder how often this sort of thing happens where an actor portrays a character really well, genuinely likes and is proud of the role (not just phoning it in and being really good at acting by default), but just doesn’t get them

Idk, his intentions seemed very clear to me right before Ellie killed him. And with him trying to hold Ellie’s hand earlier, that’s the impression I got. And yes, he’s definitely meant to be a parallel of Joel in a lot of aspects, but I don’t think Joel would those things.

I don't think Joel would ever fully become something like David but David is what Joel's desires would be if they went completely off the rails, if he processed all those same impulses as ONLY what made him feel good and not what impact they had on the world

Joel and David both feel like they can't survive if they're completely on their own and they need to "find a reason to keep going" involving a relationship with this surrogate daughter figure, someone who makes him feel needed and valuable

With Joel, it's something that at this point he's still conflicted about and feeling his way through, trying to separate his selfish desires with what's genuinely best for Ellie With David, he's fully accepted this is a roleplaying fetish for him and an addiction like a drug
