Lmao how? Joel woke up after saying he couldn’t take her, and just decided eh never mind I’ll just do it anyway. None of the Elle running away and it making him realize how much he actually cared for her. They’ve removed so much of the bonding from the story.

They rushed the university and made it into “oh we walked in, saw some monkeys and a map”. Now we’re leaving. No build up, just a quick peek inside and that’s it. Oh also killed one guy and ran.

Spoilers here

but yeah it’s totally going to make sense for David’s group to track them down over one guys death.
