I Wonder About How Joel Will Be During The Scene Where He Saves Abby.

I wonder about how Joel will be during the scene where he saves abby.

He’ll be like 60 in the show at the time? Would he even still be out on patrol at that point? I know he can take care of himself, but after that convo with Tommy where he admitted he couldn’t fight the way he used to, it makes me wonder if it’ll be emphasized how old and weak he is

I feel like this ask kinda adds to the last one :) but I agree! I wonder how they're gonna cover that. again, I feel they need to include that cause if they take it out, it'll change the story a bit. not a detrimental amount, but it'll still change it

he will! I find it so interesting that they made him older in the show. why did they do it? ooo I wonder, too! I want to say he would be, but honestly? would he? or would he just be in Jackson whittling away on his wood projects? helping around with construction? there wouldn't fully be a point to him being on patrol, other than to help more and get out of the walls (and to make sure Ellie's doing okay on her patrols, but that'd raise a flag for her). but because of that conversation with Tommy about how he doesn't fight the way he used to and how he keeps failing her, I don't think he would go on patrol. at least not major ones? don't know how the patrolling system works, so I am using fic knowledge. but if there's a patrol that's only a few hours, I can see him doing that, but the over nights? or the long ones going to other towns? I don't think he'd do them. they kinda made it a point for Joel to complain about his old body, too, so I can see them continuing that

What are your thoughts on them changing up the show to have Joel not find Ellie while she’s killing David?

mmm I enjoy it

I really do love that Ellie got to get all her anger and grief and everything out without Joel taking her off the body. and you know, that hug in the snow. EUEUEUE THE HUG IN THE SNOW. I'm love that one. but also? Joel taking Ellie off of him and having a MUTED conversation??? to show that Joel will be there for her when she needs him? mmmm I love both of those scenes and I think they fit their respective medias :)

tbh when Joel found Ellie, in both medias, I think was him showing he'd be there for her whenever she needed. cause in the show, she was checking out before he found her. and then in the game, he wanted her out of there and reassured she was okay and DDD:
