Fair enough. I experienced it 2 different ways, which also deepens it for me personally.

When you play it the second time, knowing what everything is leading up to makes it hard to watch in an entertaining way.

First time I just laughed cause it was so unexpected and threw me off. Second time I was jumping out my skin cause leading up to it, Joel's saving the life of the person who's about to end his violently. You can really see the difference between what Joel's thinking and what Abby's thinking. Because the 1st time you're like "She's probably gonna have a change of heart since he saved her life". But the 2nd time, when you know what it's leading to, you notice she's harder to read than initial perspective. Did she ever even consider not doing it? The 2nd time was way more intense to me. Which, Id argue is fantastic writing. To me, it's the best part of either game. Even knowing it was gonna happen, the way they wrote the characters and made them react to what was happening made my skin crawl. I also thought Abby had the way more interesting storyline overall. But I never finished it lol
