Just how does Abby know for sure Joel is the guy? It's just too convenient and killing every guy named Joel is too dumb, in that kind of setting I find it hard to believe that she would actually find Joel and know for sure it's the guy who killed her insane father or does he mention it? "lolz yeah I once killed that random faggot doctor". If she is killing every guy named Joel it means there's no photos nor videos of him, nothing, Joel did nothing wrong, he did everything correct, legally, everything was right and now he gets fucked dood.
There's no universe where Abby gets accepted as a likeable character, there shouldn't be but then again we live in a universe where Nu Star Wars actually has fans, stuff like Volcano Lava School or High or whatever furry shit that was gets into a Sony PS5 presentation and looneys are harrasing people for not sharing a dumbass hashtag so I really don't fucking know anymore.
By the way, if that's truly the ending I really don't see how are they going to do the sequel, there's just nowhere to go.
She doesn't. Even with the convoluted "Hey, that's Tommy, so this must be the right place." still requires them to drive, what? nearly
900 miles to try and find them? Jackson's in fucking Wyoming while Seattle's obviously where it fucking is.
How the fuck did they get the fuel for that when they've collapsed to a splinter group in Washington State? Or if they walked it's a 2 week+ journey.
Like, bare in mind SUV's in 2012 (likely the last full year vehicles were made in LTOU) the average was 50mpg, assuming you drove them to their own stupid testing conditions (no air con, no radio, feathering the gas). Reality when owned is 30mpg or less. Meaning probably a 300 mile range without refueling. So they'd have to have had a storage outpost in that direction and not places where there's more valuable loot available.
This is how I read the situation. But still, the scene where Owen and Abby look out over Jackson he makes a point that "It's a lot of people down there". Even with the brother thing, you'd think she might want to take one second to make sure she got the right person before blowing them away. Especially since these two just rescued her!
I'm guessing Druckmann thought taking the time to do that would interrupt the flow of scene or something? But it would make a lot more sense for the group to all sit down with them, maybe have a hot drink or something to warm up from the cold, and then start asking a few prodding questions to see if it's really that Joel.
You could have Joel become increasingly nervous about the questions about his past. Maybe him and Tommy do something clever to try and escape but they get caught...I dunno, I'm not a writer. All I know is that the shotgun blast made me burst out laughing with how sudden and nonsensical it seemed.
Somewhere as big and secure as Jackson is going to make anyone shit themselves upon seeing it. In LTOU there's about 40 houses in Jackson within the walls, and that's
before more people come in. You could easily sit four to a house in those places (and easily double that with the size of American Homes) meaning
bare minimum Jackson had nearly 200 people.
Throw in more survivors over 4 years and you could easily bump that up to 4-500. Never mind that in such a world where there's little to do, people
will get screwing.
Electricity got knocked out in 77 in NYC for just 25 hours and the result was a blip in birth rates. If you want to see fanatical fighting? Try pissing off a community with clear childcare facilities or children running around in the streets.
Is this new leaked footage? Anyone got a link if so?
Doubt they could fake a character swap like that.
