Is Nathan Drake a killer?
Haha... sorry for the weird thread.
My friend and I were having this discussion and she brought up the fact that Joel's actions in The Last of Us were perfectly justified. She also said that Nathan Drake is a psychopathic killer.
I found her statement pretty ridiculous. Does Drake really kill because he wants to? Is he doing good deeds for the world by taking out very dangerous men? I think by the end of UC3 Drake realizes he loved Elena more than all the treasure he ever wanted.
I am curious to see what people think.
I said Drake is not a killer because he is not killing any innocent people. She said he is a shithead for throwing that one guy in the Istanbul museum off the ledge(who did not die by the way)
Oh and after we had this "discussion" she believes I was silly for not believing her that Joel killed for a reason.
By her definition: Nathan is a psychopathic killer, whilst Joel has a reason to do it.
I honestly do not think Drake is a killer for various reasons.
He gets fired at first. It seems perfectly justifiable to survive for himself.
If Drake is a killer(her words) then so are various other characters.

Lazarevic is an example of a killer who kills in cold blood. He is an example of a terrorist. My friend sees Drake as a psychopath... and it honestly bothers me.
Thoughts?

Joel kills out of necessity and infected. Not because, hey...you look killable, unless you want to play that way. Snake kills because IT IS HIS job, and he prevents actual bad stuff from happening...or tries. To prevent crazy wars from being worse. Master Chief is fighting a war against fundamentalist Aliens, and a long gone insane Didact. To protect Earth. Sam Fisher can kill because IT IS HIS job to protect his country. You can also play the games without killing anyone. Adam Jensen can go the entire game without killing an innocent. He can just kill the triad of evil, and evil lady of doom. To save the world. Nathan Drake goes around killing "mystical" monsters or Scooby Doo Villains, and anyonw else in his way, IN THE NAME OF TREASURE! Oh and to kill anyone non-white for the most part unless they have breasts.
