The difference between your opinion and mine is I allign with what the story has shown us. You on the other hand are just theorizing. Assumptions mean nothing in this argument. This applies to both you and I.

The problem was not about Joel softening up. The problem here is that there was nothing to ease that in. It's like John Wick taking a softer stance in the upcoming sequel despite how John Wick 3 ended. They will have to sell that idea in a compelling manner.

Also quick follow up question:

Have you actually even played the Last of Us? Like, do you have ps trophies from TLOU? 

This is something you said: "Case in point, when Joel meets Henry and Sam. It took them a while before he completely trusted them. For Abby and her friends, it was almost instaneous. Why he did so is everyone's guess."

but... it's the opposite? Im honestly confused how you can have the story so backwards, but act like an authority on the story.

What does my fucking trophies have to do with this argument? You want me to share my PSN info here just to validate my arguments? If you want to discuss the story, stick with that please.

And also how is it different in this scenario? Is it because Joel did the saving this time around and put himself in danger? Well let me tell you that Joel isn't really a fan of taking risks just for anybody else. At least in the first game.

Even if we disregard Joel, what about Tommy completely inviting strangers he barely even spoke to? If you say he was just expressing his gratitude, they could have done that in a more believable manner that is in line with the premise and the character's behavior. They just acted as if the trauma they experienced in TLOU1 never ever happened.
