Here's my current take on The Last of Us 2 having been spoiled but not played it, which means my opinions are worth more than any of yours':

The number of fans I've seen (thankfully mostly not on this board) who are up in arms because Joel didn't 'deserve' to die is absolutely baffling. It's okay to like Joel, he was a good character who could be sympathetic, but he was also a real piece of shit and a relative of one of the NUMEROUS people he killed coming back to take revenge is the least-surprising plot point of all time.

I've seen so many people put Joel on a pedestal and it weirds me out, and the vitriol towards Abby gives me the same vibes I got from the Breaking Bad fanbase glorifying Walter White and calling Skylar a 'bitch' just getting in his way. Absolutely guaranteed that there's less outrage if a generic white dude had killed Joel instead of a muscle-y woman.
