#joel was never a good man until before he died like thor

[australet789]

Another unpopular opinion about TLOU but i dont like how everyone compare Kratos and Atreus with Joel and Ellie

JOEL WISHES HE COULD HAVE BEEN HALF OF WHAT KRATOS IS

If something, the one that has that same arc and attitude, is Abby.

Because Joel never wanted to change his ways. He was a violent man, and never showed mercy or wanting to change how he dealt with his problems. He only thought killing was the way, and that doomed him. And that's being showed in the tv adaptation! How Sarah was rightfully scared of her dad showing his violence (even before her death). How cold and unmerciful he was with anybody.

Kratos, while violent, changed for the sake of his son. Same as what Abby did, changing her violent mindset for Lev. Them both broke the cycle of violence when it was needed, to show their kids they could be better and find a better life.

If Kratos is Abby, then THOR should be Joel. That's a good parallel.
