I am convinced the druckmann hates joel success in the first game
Why ?
1-False ad that he will join elliy then we find that they cut the scene . ( so fans buy it thinking he will be in it )
2- he showed him as a dumb character that does things wouldnโt have done it in the original game
2- the way he dies in the most disgusting way possible ( they show you other merciful ways then they choose the most disgusting option )
3- druckmann creates a character that looks like him which its only job is to spit on joel face after he dies .
That is personal hate IMO
other elements of the story are horribly bad since his main objective already accomplished.
Saddened for the team that put so much in a game only to ruined by a hater .
