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. http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9085531 This article is a good read. 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?

  • Nathan Drake is just as sociopathic as all of the brown-skinned mooks he guns down. The only reason why he appears to not be completely apeshit insane is because he's the protagonist and as such, is afforded the bare minimum of likeability.
