They are assuredly also the same people who think they sound smart by talking about “plot armor” when all the main characters survive in a game/movie.
It’s too bad, because while playing, I thought we’d all be having interesting discussions about the ethics of Joel’s decision to save Ellie at any cost vs. Dr. Anderson’s decision to perform surgery on Ellie, or Abby’s justification for seeking revenge vs. Ellie’s justification, and what it meant that Abby was far more restrained in her quest than Ellie was.
Instead it’s just people who haven’t played the game complaining about things that aren’t in the story, people who missed plot points or can’t understand them talking about how the story doesn’t make sense and then just repeating the same assertion on thread after thread after every complaint has been carefully explained (anyone who has been in here the past few days knows who I’m talking about), and people who are just mad that it wasn’t a generic story of Joel and Ellie going across the country together again and “winning” against some “bad guys.”
