The Last of Us | The Case For and Against Joel Miller
Following the release of Part 1, the fandom had a myriad of reactions to Joel's final decision, where he slaughtered his way through the Fireflies to save Ellie, thus possibly resulting in robbing the human race of a vaccine for the Cordyceps infection. The years since the release of the game have seen discourse discussing whether or not Joel made the right call rage on.
Upon the release of Part II, the conversation regarding the morality of Joel's final decision was given a resurgence. However, after mulling through many Twitter and YT comment section arguments regarding this topic, it seemed evident to me that the two sides of the aisle (those who consider Joel an undisputed hero and those who consider him a selfish, evil monster) were going off of two completely different frames of reference.
And despite the plethora of discussions around this topic, I was surprised to find that I couldn't find a video that outlined and weighed the arguments of either side of the aisle. Thus, here we are.
If you feel there were other elements of either argument I missed or you'd like to add anything to the discussion, feel free to comment below!
