Technically, Joel isn’t Ellie’s biological father but honestly that doesn’t matter. He’s still a great dad.
Before Ellie, Joel loved, cared about, and protected his daughter. She meant the entire world to him and her tragic death turned him into an angry, disgruntled old man who was tired with the whole world.
However, Joel found another daughter in Ellie and he learned to love her and protect her like she’s his own. The trauma of losing his first daughter and the fear of losing this one made Joel make the very crucial decision to save Ellie from giving her life for a cure to the fungal virus.
This essentially dooms humanity and now that The Last of Us Part II is out, we get to see the true outcome of this and what has happened to Ellie and Joel.
