He was pretty outnumbered and unarmed, similar to when the guys on horseback surrounded them. Perhaps he’s a better fighter, but it was 5v1 and they had guns and were threatening to hurt Dina. Joel would rather sacrifice himself than risk harm to a young woman, considering his daughter situation.

Still disappointing to see him go out like that, but perhaps that’s the nature of the apocalypse. Not every hero gets a glorious death from a bloater or psycho raider. Sometimes you survive the zombie outbreak and later get killed by a vindictive 25 year old with questionable fighting and survival skills. A lot of apocalypse survival probably comes down to good or bad luck.

Also important to remember that the scene began with him taking a shotgun blast to his kneecaps. Once he realized who they were, there was no avenue to talk his way out of it, and dude probably couldn't even stand up, much less fight.

"Oh shut the fuck up and do it already" because he doesn't give a shit about hearing her sob story is pretty in character. I went on YouTube to see the game version, and it's, "Why don't you say whatever speech you've got rehearsed and get this over with." Not delaying the inevitable with pointless talking sounds like Joel to me.
