Joel
coming off as homophobic?
idk if I'm feeling that
he was raised by a cop in Texas in the 70s/80s, it's not too much of a stretch. But it seemed like he changed his opinion before the end.

for comparison's sake, here's how the game did the final convo (Eugene died from unrelated reasons before the game happens, so it's about Ellie finding out about the Fireflies earlier in the game - the show combined those two flashbacks).
don't look into any earlier scenes if YouTube recommends them, or read through the comments, since they might spoil things:

and this is the scene where Ellie finds out Joel was lying:

I haven't played the games, but these scenes feel a lot less impactful than the porch scene in the show. Especially the first one.
up until this episode I had been under the impression that the last thing she said to him was the line in the church, and that made his death much worse.
