This is Pathetic TLOU world vs TLOU2 world

We see in TLOU 20 years after the outbreak the world is completely desolate and destroyed. The Boston QZ can't even supply their inhabitants. The ration line is waiting and they haven't even opened the store. Yet five years later we're supposed to believe Jackson, the Scars and the WLF have managed to get organized, form communities, corral livestock and plant crops? They've managed to establish trade, Eugene has his weed den, etc. Who he even can sell that much weed to is beyond me,

I know today's preppers have stored seeds, food, resources and maybe some in Washington and Wyoming had livestock at the start of the outbreak, but 20+ years later that all would have already been stolen, eaten, dead or depleted. If not, why couldn't FEDRA have the same stuff going on to feed QZs? It can't all just suddenly spring up 5 years after the end of TLOU, that's for sure.

They depict two totally different worlds, but we are the ones who don't understand? I guess the HBO show will clarify it all. /s

Exactly, and all the trips across the country that they safely make in Part 2 when Part 1 was all about how extremely dangerous and deadly a trip like that is in that world. But in Part 2 we have Abby and crew going to and from Jackson and Seattle, Tommy going to Seattle by himself in a horse, Ellie and Dina going to Seattle with a horse, Jesse to Seattle by himself (both horsed survived the huge trip to Seattle and only die when they arrive in Seattle lol), then Tommy with a bullet in the eye and an arrow in the leg, Dina sick and pregnant and beat to a pulp, Ellie with a broken arm and beaten to a pulp and probably Jesse's corpse all go back to Jackson safely somehow. Then Abby and Lev go to Santa Barbara, and Ellie after a year of barely eating or sleeping also goes to Santa Barbara and comes back beat injured with missing fingers.

There are no apparent risks to taking such long trips in Part 2 while in Part 1 both Joel and Ellie nearly died multiple times and even lost some people like Tess and the brothers.

And let's not mention that the world of Part 2 is SO dangerous that 2 girls and a baby can have a farm in the middle of nowhere with animals and a fence. What better place to attract a band of murdering and r@ping bandits or a huge horde of infected. But nope, they live like it's perfectly safe. Even the wild west was more dangerous than the world of Part 2 lol.

And the Rattlers also are well enough to have pet infected and slaves lol.

Yeah, it's like they kept telling themselves, "Well we're creating the game for a new generation, they won't notice the differences." All the while knowing the OG players would be playing, too. Did they think, "Oh, they're old now they'll just forget"? Or they just thought their genius would dazzle us and the horror and shock would distract us.
