YEAH FUCK YOU JOEL FUCK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND BEING A FATHER TO ME YOU DID BAD THINGS FEEL BAD FAGGOT
Here's what's worse about that scene -
A father and daughter relationship is completely different from any other one - different from the father and son relationship, mother and son, and mother and daughter. A girl gets her first real sense of self worth from her father - a girl NEEDS to know her father will do EXACTLY what Joel did for Ellie. Anythig less can really fuck a daughter up. You ever notice crazy insane women usually also have daddy issues?
Its a kind of relationship Druckman seems to not get. No girl would ever say, "FUCK YOU JOEL, now my life has no meaning!!!" to their father/father figure for what he did because what he did in itself gives her life a sense of meaning and worth. A daughter wouldn't be thinking about "the greater good" because fuck it, the father SHOULD do exactly what Joel did, your father SHOULD murder a whole building of people in order to save you. If he doesn't, then why live anyway? A father's love is THAT important to his daughter.
I don't get why Joel is also taking that shit talk from Ellie. Another different thing about fathers and daughters is there is a sense of BOTH parties being protective of one another. I guess I'm only speaking from my own POV, but you're extremely protective of your father emotionally. You have no way to protect him physically but feel the need to protect his feelings from harm. I would assume Ellie would have those daughter like instincts like Joel has those fatherly instincts, but apparently she's just a bitch to him. I can't ever imagine a girl being that harsh to their guardian unless they're horrible selfish bitches like how Ellie is acting.
"FUCK YOU JOEL, MY WORTH ONLY MATTERS IF I'M THE CHOSEN ONE BORN TO BE SACRIFICED AND THEN WORSHIPPED AS A MARTYR AFTERWARDS!!! YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS???"
