reminder that from joels perspective, based on the audiotapes he can find, the fireflies were having better success in finding a cure, and it was plausible to cure it, so him murdering them all was dooming the world and all the future humans that could exist so he could play dad for a few years.
no, this is not about the fact there IS no cure. this is about joels decision based on what he knew. he thought there was a chance, however slim, to save literally millions, if not billions of lives.
he chose to brutally slaughter all those who may of been able to do it from what he understood, to play dad.
being right accidentally for the most monstrous reason possible doesnt make him not a monster
