Was Joel right in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us? Even if you've, somehow, never played the game before, you have almost definitely stumbled across 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this debate. The debate was revived once again with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the HBO show,ღ inviting an even larger audience to weigh in on Joel's actions at the end of the firstౠ game.
For those of you still scratching your heads, here's the spoiler-filled recap. The Fireflies think there's a shot at curing the Cordyceps infection, but that would involve killing Ellie. Joel decides to shoot his way thr🐈ough the Fireflies to save her, destroying the chance of finding a cure - a divisive move for obvious reasons.
Now, put the moral dilemma to the series co-creator himself, Ne🌺il Druckmann - and he has very clearly൩ made up his mind.
Joel Was Right, Says Neil Druckmann
The crew behind the TV show agree with him too
"I believe Joel was right," Druckmann answers. "If I were in Joel's position🦋, I hope I would beღ able to do what he did to save my daughter."
Craig Mazin, who co-created to T🌸V adaptation alongside Druckmann, is also on this side of the debate. "I thin🃏k that if I were in Joel's position, I probably would have done what he did [...] But I'd like to think that I wouldn't.
"﷽That's th⛎e interesting push and pull of the morality of it. And that's why the ending of the first game is so provocative and so wonderful."
Many people argue ಞthat 🅰the cure wouldn't have actually worked. However, I don't think that was a major factor in Joel's decision-making...
As it happens, pretty𒅌 much the entire cast of the show has Joel's back too, or at least finds his choice sympathetic. True enough, this is a c༺ommon answer in the fanbase; Joel might not have made the right decision, but it was a decision most of us would have made. Or, as Bella Ramsey puts it: "He saved his world, just not the world."
