Joel : The man who lost everyone’s sympathy
When Sarah died in the prologue. At that point in time Joel had a-lot of people’s sympathy. However Sarah, & that Fedra soldier weren’t the only deaths in that cutscene. There was one more… Joel’s faith & belief in the system, the greater good and the man.
It’s now 2025, and Joel’s reputation is quite rough. A lot of players write him off as a demon who doomed humanity, and Part II supports this sentiment. All sympathy washed away. The fandom is quite harsh when it comes to Joel and so is Part II & whether you believed it was deserved or not, he was treated quite badly in the sequel by other characters and the game itself.
But what about you? What do you think about Joel? Please let me know.
