Not really, that literally supports a debate was had on what he did at the end, it literally shows someone disagreed with what he did, other agreed etc. So....looking back at those debates proves people all didn't agree with 1 thing or the other or something. I mean, a poll was made? why? Doesn't that show you something was talked about, debated etc? So this isn't saying how much or to what degree someone sided with him, this is saying a view point against him and his actions existed regardless of how many, enough to debate and have many people talk about that ending, like a ton.
So...not sure what to say. Was talked about by many, Part 2 just has the same people still talking about if that was needed or not, it doesn't make something up or force some new narrative that wasn't already talked about or something.

ok but, that just shows we would have debated that with the first game, I did a ton as I started out agreeing with Joel and later after few playthroughs I actually sided against him and agreed with that maybe he could have did all that differently.
Not really. Its pretty straight forward.
He did things to people in Part 1, people came and did things to him in Part 2.
I even believed that would occur to him and actually thought
Marlene's family would come to kill him or something and I thought that for years as she is the last person he kills. I thought husband or son or cousin lol Regardless of how anyone feels about the story, the debate regarding his character's actions isn't new and was had for years after the first game, that isn't anything new with Part 2
Keep in mind, we don't even talk about the very ending of Part 2 anywhere NEAR as much as we talk about the ending of Part 1. I love the ending of Part 2 a lot, but the ending of 1 opens up so many questions into if it was right, wrong, could someone find him or Tommy or something and ending of Part 2 doeesn't really have those massive questions like 1 did, as to why most of this is talking about the beginning of 2 or ending of 1 more then ending of 2 or something.
So I won't get into a whole "majority sided with" BS, the point is that enough talked about it for it not to have this clear idea of right or wrong or something and was just as much debated as lots of Part 2 is. (something I love about both titles)
Have a good one.
