That's dope. He definitely brought that shit on himself. Seems like a big difference from the game, but it was a great scene for the show
 
I was curious how I was going to react to the death in the show. For me I felt the scene through the game more

Same. I think it was just familiarity and knowing what was coming that took away from it. So nothing against the writers and actors. As you can see from this thread, people not in the know are devastated.

Its kind of like GoT and episode 9. I never read the books and that shit hit me like a truck.
 
I think its different with the games anyway because youre the one doing things. You're choosing actions and all that and more immersed so the stories twists and turns are likely to hit harder as opposed to just watching things happen.

Both are dope.. just different experiences

The episode discourse is funny to me because I feel like there's a weird Mandela Effect going on with people behaving as if 95% of the gaming community wasn't crying foul about the the way Joel's death went down in the game.

Now all of a sudden you have all of these people speaking as if the game version was lauded in overwhelming fashion? Nah, the numbers ain't adding up and the contrarian takes for the sake of contrarianism when it comes to popular media is getting tiring.

I appreciated both iterations and how they were presented for their respective mediums.
 
Whole time I'm telling my wife like I can't wait till Joel gets loose and wrecks these mfers.

Next thing I know they dragging his body on the horse. Smmfh

I’m here like aww shit how he gonna get outta this one? I bet Ellie saved him and they reconnect. Then Abby stabs this nigga with no resistance!!! I’m like wait a minute niggas!!! He gone already???

I’m like is Ellie imagining this?? Surely she’ll snap back into reality and it’ll be just before Abby stabs him. Nah shit was realer than cancer bruh

Funniest shit about this is they had mans wrapped up getting drug by a horse.

My wife like hes gonna come back right?

My mind went into some wild shit like he gonna be back as a zombie but still be himself and then I was like fuck am I thinking, this ain't that kind of show.

Kept that shit to myself.

Told my wife like they dragging his body on a horse, of course he ain't coming back.
 
Bro wtf??

Episode was fire as fuck. Like top notch shit. For shit to hit the fan this hard and it's just episode 2 was wild.

But also wtf??????????

I never played the game and avoided the spoilers. I had no idea this was coming. Im lost for words. That shit was uncalled for. My night is ruined.
I never played the game either, but knew he would get killed.

Shit still hit like a ton of bricks!!!!

I can't believe they killed him so quickly. How are they gonna top this episode? LOL

I never played the game when I found out they killed Joel off 20min into the game. He was main character and they killed him off that didn't sit well with the gaming community. Then they made you play as Abby fuck that game
