* ImprovedSecondAttempt: In the game after Henry shot Sam, he kept pointing his Gun at Joel, muttering "What did you do?" and "It's all your fault!", insinuating that he blamed Joel for Sam turning and Joel tried to defend himself by stating that it was no ones fault, and it a shocking subversion when Henry suddently turn the Gun onto himself, showing that we was talking to himself. In this version of the scene he uses the first person ("It's all my fault!") throughout, making the scene much clearer.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When Sam reveals to Ellie that he was bitten, she tried to use some of her blood to cure him because of her immunity. It doesn't work as immunity doesn't really work like that. And even if it did, she'd likely need to donate a lot more than just a drop of blood for it to be effective.

** After they escape from Kanas City, Sam then pulls up his pant leg to reveal a ''bitemark.''

Kathleen overthrows FEDRA but doesn't enact the same protection in lieu of chasing Henry; naturally, they not only emerge, but they do it ''quicker'' because of Kathleen's incompetence, dooming her and the whole city.

Its already covered in Idiot Ball. No need for another example. Yes, we know they're incompetent fools but at the very least it's clearly shown that it's not a good thing: their leader's need for vengeance consumed her and they all paid dearly for it. Too Dumb To Live would be if these guys didn't even have a reasonable justification why they would want to kill Henry so much to the point that they even ignore the infected horde entirely.

** The same applies to the whole Kansas City QZ. After finally overthrowing the fascist FEDRA government, its leader was so obsessed with avenging her brother that she failed to deal with the infected under the city. Consequently, they all emerged from underground as soon as the first opportunity presented itself and, with the greatest armed forces unable to stop them, headed towards the rest of the QZ, presumably dooming all the remaining civilians.
