I love how Joel, who is the GM for Helldivers 2, has become a "in-game" villain that goes around and keeps all these wars going in the (headcanon) lore of the Helldivers. Hence, he is responsible for the deaths of millions of Helldivers in the minds of the players.
If they will include this into propaganda, that will be so good! Cartoonish guys running around on the screen Tom and Jerry style, finishing in blood splatters and the message - "Watch out! Joel here and he hates Democracy!" Upd: fixed the typo

This comic is so damn good, because he doesn't just act like a ringleader for everything that goes on, but even gets onto the ground to do shit himself. Peak fiction.
Joel is the man in black watching in the distance, testing the metal and convictions of all our warriors. But does he hold malice? Does he strive for a larger inconceivable goal? Or is it all, for the love the game...
I have a pretty wild theory on this one, Joel works for Super Earth, not to make the automatons win, but to keep the fires of war going on Huge profits for Super Earth on this one, not making the automatons lose, but making it so that it keeps generating more money by people investing in the war effort
Ah yes, the automotan super intelligence which is pulling the strings. The Junctioned Operational and Efficient Logistics bot is leading all robots. Also known as J.O.E.L
The Helldivers lore is legendary! The galactic GM Joel made himself the big baddie. M1: "I'm gonna get back to Super Earth, and I'll warn them about you! The RHEP will get you for this!" Joel: "They would never believe you, I'm on the payroll...muhuahahaha!"
Psa joel is what makes this game this game. Dont actually make him hate his job. Without him it'd just be another mindless shooter and it would die out within weeks.
If Joel is any kind of REAL GM, he EMBRACES the tears of his players when they fall to their knees and scream his name. "JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEL!" "Yes... dance on my strings little playerbase. Our war is just beginning!"
@@graveyardshift6691yep gms relish being hated for their machiavelian schemes its our favorite thing just watching everyone see us finally showing all our cards and revealing we have 50 more decks under the table
Joel is playing the role he was dealt with the moment we fret and flutter upon our hour on this stage of life. It is said lesser men have the honor of lighting the torch for greater men to continue. I say it is the honor of Joel to be that fire for which the flame burns towards. The universe needs a Joel, not a mere man, but the force of nature that pushes us all towards something. Hate him, love him, regardless of which just don't dismiss him or ignore his efforts.
Amazing how a minute long video can awaken such anger. We are going to win Joel. No matter what you do or try to do. Malevolen Creek is going to fall and we will win
I usually don't like backstabs like this. But since it's the Game Master himself, the guy at the very top, it makes him getting his hands dirty by being on the battlefield itself to make sure all goes according to plan somehow makes him so much more intimidating than some grunt following orders.

"All Super Destroyers leave the low orbit! ICBM is coming towards us! Evade! Ev-"
Id imagine this explains every player who shoots their teammates on purpose. Oh but........ what if this was a game mechanic. Like during a helldive Joel reaches out to one player to carry out an altered version of the ICBM objective. When it's done it nukes their destroyers, destroying their budget, and the traitor has to evac while the remaining hell divers have to try and prevent the evac.
"Sorry kid. My superiors pay me more the longer this war goes on. You and the other Helldivers may see this as an 18-carat run of bad luck, but truth is, the game was rigged from the start."
Thank you for this valuable information. We will proceed to track this J4 or "Joel" as he calls himself down, and we will stop at nothing to make sure FREEDOM and (MANAGED) DEMOCRACY is safe.
I don't know how long... how far I'm going to go... but when i find you Joel.. you better have a legion of bots to protect your ass because i am coming with all of HELL right behind me!
Imagine fighting tha Automatons for almost the whole mission, no more reinforcements left, and the only person who wasn’t killed turns out to be the one causing the hell that you dived into… all the times you saved him and he you, just breaks my hear that just wants freedom, liberty and democracy!
Fun fact: there are 3 joel's right now. Joel 1 controls the entire game battlefield, joel 2 the bots front, joel 3 the bugs front. And it is possible of a joel 4 for the new enemy faction.
Explains why The Creek is such a slug fest. J.O.E.L used to be a Helldiver and knows the Super Earth Fleet and our tactics, hence the jammers and SAM sites preventing Eagle strikes.
I know some people entertain the idea of Joel being a jokester, or attacking planets because he's salty sometimes or what-not... But from the little we know about him, he is anything but that. He seem to have a liking to space and Nikola Tesla from what I've heard, and he seem productive, level-headed, intelligent or what have you... So where as some people might think Joel is something like a "Joker"... He is in fact more so a "Thrawn". And THAT... is terrifying.
HOW COULD YOOUUUUU!!!! HE WAS YOUR BROTHER IN ARMS!!! OUR BROTHER IN ARMS!!! … I swear… by super earth and liberty… you will be chased all over the universe!!!!!!!!!!! You will never know rest, and you will always be looking over your shoulder!!!!!
Wait, now that I think about it, isn’t “Joel” the one who set-up Gantz? Yeah, for those who don’t know, Gantzthedemon turned out to be innocent and he was set-up. Not only that, he has also joined the hunt against the traitors
it would be fun as hell if Joel became an actual in game boss or somthing, like during the final update (which would take forever to come to) and was like, the most OP charecter ever
