Joel represents a power fantasy and he does it well. He’s also incredibly loyal to those he’s close with, which is an easy way to excuse all the awful things he does. He’s just defending himself, right? And you’d do anything to protect your own children, right?
Completely unrelated, but Neil Druckmann is on record stating that the series at least partially pulls from his experiences growing up in Israel and the “cycles of violence” involved in that.
This becomes really blatant in the second game
when the primitive people of color have developed a series of
tunnelsbridges to which theIDFWLF soldiers don’t have access.
