    The Last Of Us Part 1 Recap
    Ok in order to fully understand the storyline and general meaning behind the series, we have to travel back to the first game and talk about the thematic elements of that. The Last Of Us Part 1 was very much about breaking a cycle and this was shown predominantly through the eyes of Joel.
    When the Cordysep outbreak first happened Joel tried to flee with his brother Tommy and Daughter Sarah, however she was killed by a member of the military and Joel very much spent the next chapter of his life grieving and angry at the world.
    A feeling of hope came back when he was given the task of escorting Ellie to the Fireflies. Ellie was a young girl much like his daughter who was actually revealed to be immune to the virus. The Fireflies claimed to be able to extract the cure from her but upon finally arriving at their facility, Joel learned that she would die during the process.
    Rather than go through the same thing again in which a member of the military would literally once more take away his daughter, Joel broke the cycle, killed the majority of the fireflies and surgoens and then fled with Ellie. Joel lied to her and told her that they weren’t able to extract the cure and Ellie bought it.
    They returned to Joel’s brother Tommy and this is where the opening of Part 2 picks up.
    Now before we get into the full breakdown we have to bear in mind this idea of cycles and breaking them. Though I don’t think that The Last Of Us Part 2 pulls off the theme as well as the prior entry, and I don’t think it really does it that well at all, I’m gonna remove my personal opinion from things for the mean time and just discuss the main elements of the storyline and what they actually mean.
    There are several perspective changes and the events of the storyline jump back and forth between characters at several points so to keep things streamlined I’ll try and do everything in the order that makes the most sense. There’s also certain things from the trailer that were changed for the game and it’s clear that they tried to hide certain deaths as best they could.
    Obviously let me know your thoughts on the storyline in the comments as we go through it but there’s a lot to talk about and the idea an eye for an eye leading to both people losing their sight is laced throughout the plot.
    We open with Joel telling Tommy the truth about what happens as he cleans up his Guitar. Tommy is clearly horrified at what his brother as done but after Joel explains that he saved her life, he slowly sees things from his perspective and understands why he took the path he did without condoning.
    Joel visits Ellie and gifts her his guitar, playing her the song Future Days which somewhat becomes his theme and ties massively into the end. The idea of cycles is very much highlighted by the game opening on this image of the guitar and butterfly stamp as it closes on it too, hinting at things coming full circle before a character breaks away from them.
    We then get a huge four year time jump and alongside Ellie we are introduced to Jesse and Deena, a pair that have recently broken up. Ellie and Dinah clearly have a thing for one another and a kiss between the pair eventually lead to homophobia being thrown their way by a bartender. Joel steps in and saves Ellie and we learn throughout the story that Ellie actually journeyed to the hospital in which the fireflies were stationed at in the first game.

      Why couldn't they give us the option to have 2 endings though? Bad ending is Ellie murdering her, loosing her fingers & she makes it back home with everyone gone and shes alone, good ending with her not murdering anyone, keeps her fingers and makes it back home with a sign that she can find her family again or something before she rides out like the ending above.

      I truly believe Ellie did have a happy ending, we just missed the clues... another CZcamsr commented on the letter you find at the farm when you are with Dina and the baby. It's from the baby's father's mom saying they will always have a place in Jackson if they choose to come back home. Also if you notice.....when Ellie leaves to fight Abby at the end....she's not wearing the bracelet Dina gave her....but when she returns...the camera zooms in on her hand ...we were focused on the fingers missing but looked completey passed the fact that now she is wearing the bracelet, possibly meaning she has already been to Jackson...and is living with Dina......she just went back to the farm for the guitar....but decided to leave it. That represents her finally being able to accept Joel's death and end the cycle of revenge.
      Here's some more things to back this claim......
      1. When she comes back to the farm...she's not hurt or not wearing any of her weapons.
      2. She doesn't seem surprised that everyone is gone when she enters the house. She doesn't call out Dina's name or anything.
      I think people were so caught up in "Revenge" that they missed all of these details.

    A lot of people don’t see the symbolism as to why Ellie let Abby live. In that split second of almost drowning her and seeing a vision of Joel alive and playing a guitar Ellie realizes that Abby is the new Joel and Lev is the new Ellie. This is why she says “go, just take him“. She knows what it’s like to be a little kid and lose everybody that she cared about. She said this in part one when Joel tried to hand her off to Tommy. This game is so brilliantly done but a lot of people just don’t understand that yet. Give it some time.

      @NfiniteRage Před 3 lety +96

      People are too critical of the game. Some people felt like they should not have had to play as Abby the character that kills the beloved Joel but there are two sides to every story. We understand that people connect with a character tend to sympathize with his/her actions. As I stated there are two sides to every story and Abby's story deserved to be told so the player understands her motives. I was pissed when Joel died and I was pissed having to play as Abby but when they showed why Abby's father's death I started to understand. People were saying that Ellie's character was bleak. If her character was bleak it was fitting considering what she had gone through. She wouldn't be the curious silly little girl she was in the 1st last of us game. People said that Ellie lacked character development. Again her circumstances makes her that way. I think your comment is a great explanation for people that may not understand the symbolism behind letting her go. Me personally if it was the players choice to kill abby or let her live I definitely would have killed her. It's probably just me staying being loyal to Ellie in avenging Joel's death.

    • @gladiusexe3870
      @gladiusexe3870 Před 3 lety +15

      Yeah no in that case Ellie should’ve just killed Abby AND Lev. Abby is just unlikeable for killing Joel it’s unforgivable and Ellie should’ve just finished her and killed Lev to stop the cycle before it starts again.

      @siknoyzmusic9623 Před 3 lety +63

      Gladius ExE “Abby is just unlikable for killing Joel“? Speak for yourself because I love her character and so do a lot others. She is completely justified in doing what she did to Joel in my opinion. When will people like you learn that although Joe did what he thought he had to do to save Ellie he ultimately made a decision that cost him his own life by killing a hospital full of fire flies, probably the best doctors, and their leader. There is absolutely no guarantee that killing Abby and Lev would’ve ended the cycle. Joel and Abby probably thought the same thing until people came looking for them to kill them. Open your mind and think a little.

  • @melobeta
    @melobeta Před 3 lety +1668

    My Main Theory: Ellie is living in Jackson with Dina, JJ, and Jesse's parents.
    Why: During the farmhouse section of the game, while carrying around JJ, we find a note on the table from Jesse's parents, saying that there will quote, "Always be a place here in Jackson for You, Ellie, and JJ." showing that Ellie would always have a home. Next, before heading to Santa Barbara(at the farmhouse) and during the Santa Barbara section of the game, and Ellie's fight with Abby, Ellie is not wearing the bracelet that Dina gave her in Seattle. If you check Ellie's backpack, the bracelet is not in her backpack, proving that Dina still has it. But when it cuts to her at the farmhouse, having returned, with no time frame of how long it has been, she is indeed wearing that bracelet again... showing that Dina gave it to her after she returned home from fighting Abby again. Which Dina wouldn't have done if she'd been done with, or abandoned Ellie. Another thing, notice that Ellie has nothing on her in her "return". No guns, no arrows, no gun holsters, no anything. Just her backback. If Ellie had just returned from a long trip back home, you'd think she'd still have those things on her. Right? So I believe that Ellie left Jackson that day, to either go for a walk, or purposely return to the old family home to retrieve her guitar. Another hint at this, is that there was no note left by Dina, for her return. If Dina loved Ellie as much as she seemed to, she would have left a note for her, amidst her return, telling her where she was or that she had moved on with JJ by herself. Ellie than trys to play the guitar one last time, prompting a more positive flashback of Joel. One, of them talking on a more positive note the night before he died. After the flashback, she leaves the guitar in the farmhouse and heads off the property into the woods. So I believe that she realized, that if she truly wanted to be happy and move on with Dina and JJ, she would need to move on from Joel and his memory. And so leaving behind the one thing she had left of him to hold onto (the guitar), she's leaving her brutal, revenge filled past behind her. To truly move forward in her life with Dina and JJ. So this, her walking into the woods, is not her losing everything, or going out on her own. But simply her returning home to her wife and child. Who in my opinion/theory, she returned to after the final events with Abby, and has been back with them for a significant period of time. And therefore the closing events of the game, take place after she had reunited with her family. Not before. Leading to my conclusion, the Ellie made up with Dina and is living happily with her in Jackson.

    As someone with PTSD, I really liked the ending of this game. This is just my opinion, but for me - At the end Ellie was suffering with PTSD, obviously
    - not sleeping, not eating, the flashbacks, the going off by herself into the woods, and the feeling she HAD to go after abby - is realistic to me. it's difficult to describe anyone without it, but PTSD can often feel like you are physically trapped with no way out of your own reality. That your whole life is closing on you. That the past is forever there, suffocating you. Obviously you relive it through flashbacks, but it's more than that.
    When Ellie said she had to go after abby, it was because she felt she had to not because she wanted to - She wanted to stay with her new family, but she had to stop her brain reliving the traumatic past again and again. She had to escape the trap, and she felt the only way was to kill abby - the person who really made her feel trapped to begin with. but I think she knew, deep down, it wouldn't help her escape. but hey, desperate times, amiright?
    When ellie finally confronted abby, what were her words? "I cant let you leave" She could have said anything else "I won't let you leave" or "I'm going to kill you". Those would be words from someone confident, someone making the rules. but she didn't. those words "I can't let you leave" were very specific. they're words from someone not in control - someone who feels they didnt make the decision. A soldier following orders would say "I can't let you leave" or someone feeling like they had no choice in the matter, someone trapped -
    like ellie.
    At the very end ellie didnt have to kill Abby. When she was on the verge of killing abby, when abby couldnt fight back and was about to drown, Ellie had basically won at that point. it didnt even matter if abby lived or died past that point, as there was nothing abby could have done to change the outcome, and ellie realized that she probably has "won". And it didn't help. There was no opening of the trap, it didnt fix anything so she let abby go and she wept. still trapped.
    It wasnt until she came back, sat alone with guitar she could no longer play, and thought about joel and forgiveness that, maybe, she realized that the only way out of the trap was to forgive mistakes of the past. forgive yourself for not being able to change the past. forgive others for being human.
    I dunno. maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, see what makes sense to me. But still, I like the ending. People complain about the ending, saying ellie didn't get her revenge against abby. but they miss the fact that everything after the farmhouse - Ellie isnt going for revenge. Shes going because she feels like she has to, to try to fix herself.

      @pineapplesplash9166 Před 2 lety +15

      Excellent take on Ellie. It’s accurate. With that being said we need to analyze Abby as well.
      After four years of pent-up grief, Abby has the person she has been desperately seeking in her grasp-coincidentally, being saved by him and Tommy only minutes before. The moment she has been solely focused on is finally in front of her; but rather than pleading for mercy or showing an ounce of remorse, the man who murdered her father practically mocks her, telling her to “get on” with whatever she has planned and dismissing her power over him.
      Joel’s reaction hurts her, but it also goads her, and she’s freshly reminded of her grief as the man who killed her dad is sitting in front of her without a shred of guilt. It’s in that moment that her plan in how to deal with him changes: asking Mel to torniquet his leg-a request that seemingly takes Mel by surprise-and reaching for the golf clubs out of convenience. Her bottled emotions burst and she unleashes her misery towards Joel in a way that is scrappy, messy and brutal.
      And yet, her attack on Joel doesn’t provide relief. With each blow, she’s conflicted-never actually regretting that Joel is getting what he deserves, but also not finding an any sense of satisfaction. By dealing more pain, she thinks it might help to alleviate the anger inside her, as if she is projecting her inner turmoil onto him. Instead, she just zones out into confusion, memories plagued by the day she found her father dead. The subtle glimpses of anguish on her face brewing beneath the surface in this scene are extremely telling: she isn’t enjoying or finding catharsis here despite thinking she would.
      When Abby confronted Ellie at the theater the game shows us again how her anger consumes her. While pointing the gun at Tommy, Ellie comes out and says “I’m the one you want, there’s no cure because of me” instead of telling Ellie her killing Joel had nothing to do with the cure was foreshadowed in her thoughts because of her anger. As she’s looking and listening to Ellie speak we see in Abby’s face that rage and her response to Ellie was “You killed my friends. We let you live”- After Abby grabbed Dina Ellie said “She had nothing to do with this. She’s pregnant” Abby response was “Good” and as she was about to cut Dina throat- Lev, the voice of someone she trusted got her to clam down (which is also shown in her facial expressions) simply by saying her name and she lets Dina go.
      It’s pretty clear Abby has anger issues and has nightmares which is usually a sign of feelings of sadness, confusion and guilt.
      Ellie and Abby both suffered in their own way because of Joel actions. That’s what they have in common now.

    The reason I love this story is because it tries to show us and explain something I've always believed: Two sides, filled with good people who are just trying to survive, neither side is evil, but despite that and being very similar to one another, they each see each other as monsters, even tho neither is. Some people in this world are just bad. But most of the time, differences arise, and our sheer lack of not having known that person let's us hate them or see them as evil. When in reality, that person laughs, has loved ones, helps people, etc.

      Guys I just found out about doing a ride on reddit and stuffs like this, TH ENDING IS NOT DEPRESSING.
      When Ellie (in the final) returns to the farm she wears Dina's bracelet (which she did not have in Santa Barbara), new clothes, she has no weapons and the wounds on her fingers have been closed.
      Do you know what this means? That the farm scene, the final scene, doesn't happen right after the bossfight with Abby, but later.
      It means that after almost killing Abby, Ellie returned to Jackson where she also found Dina (otherwise it is not clear who would have given him the bracelet) and on the farm she did not go hoping to find Dina, but only to play the guitar of Joel for the last time since this is like forgiving him.
      Ellie hasn't lost everything and the ending is not a sad ending, in the last scene Ellie is RETURNING to Jackson, where in all probability Dina is still waiting for her.
      I'm not sure Dina is in Jackson waiting for her, but the only SURE thing is that after the bossfight with Abby Ellie she returned to Jackson, and then left for the farm where she had left Joel's guitar.

    Many people felt rage and anger at Joel’s death and struggled to let go of it and accept Abbie as a protagonist. This was intentional and uncomfortable and subverted normal storytelling in games. If you are really honest with yourself though it’s extremely bold to flip the story like this and has not been done before in this way. Metal gear 2 did this bit that story is pure b movie whereas this is like high quality television. I personally do not feel the end is depressing. Ellie is alive and is able to move on past Joel. Her life is not ruined and it can still have meaning. We just don’t know how yet. I hope in the final game she finally manages to sacrifice herself to save humanity. That would be a good ending for her character.

This part 2 really punch in the face from the 1st game in story. So why building the 1st game plot about immunity that can save humanity but the 2nd game just about revenge. And how they killed joel at the early game while giving us gameplay of the one who killed him in such NPC way and making this girl as likeable characters is insulting to 1st game. Plus the ending of letting her go is stupid in any sense way. But yes another game died because of real world politics.

It's a okay story for a tv show (not really a new message and not really a fresh take but it works) or maybe a movie or a book, but it's not a good story for a game. The audience never was interested in revenge, the audience only wanted to play a game, so no need to lecture them.

  • @cynicalidealist11
    @cynicalidealist11 Před 3 lety +1494

    Here's my take: The hatred that Ellie feels towards Abby is an externalized reflection of the hatred Ellie harbors for herself. Why? Well Joel deeply hurt both Abby and Ellie in different ways and they both punished him for it. Ellie hates Abby for torturing Joel to death, especially because she didn't get a chance to restore her relationship with Joel. This is a mirror because Ellie also tortured Joel, she did it for years but in a different way, and I'd say in a way that was more painful for Joel, and that was by disconnecting from him. She hates herself for torturing him like that and not restoring their relationship when there was still time. That's the real pain she has been trying to avoid facing during this entire revenge quest, she's like a drug addict using revenge to avoid dealing with those painful feelings of regret. This is the realization she has while she is drowning Abby when she has the flashback to the scene on the porch with Joel and chooses to spare Abby. She's not just forgiving Abby, she's really most importantly forgiving herself and finally coming to terms with what happened between her and Joel, I think her leaving his guitar to rest in the house and walking away is supposed to symbolically represent that she has forgiven Joel, made peace with what happened between them and is finally ready to move on and start a new life. I hated the end at first but after much deliberation I think it's actually really poetic. People saying the game is just about "revenge is bad" I think have really missed the point.

      But the story is at least plausible and definitely engaging . A tale of revenge seen from a point of view no revenge tale is often seen from: Bot parties. The Meta feeling it gives me by humanizing the “bad guys” reminds me of Spec Ops: The Line. .

    I thought this game was brilliant, including the writing, I think people wanted a straight forward revenge story but I cant see why, the games are somber so I already expected for TLU2 to close out that way, I love Abby's arc and I wasn't too shocked when Joel died, I thought it was really ballsy, Naughty Dog took a risk that most game developers wont do, whether you liked it or not, it kept you intrigued on what was next. Abby got way too much heat and I cant understand why, her and Ellie are very much the same, I compare them to Rick and Negan, had you followed Negan/Abby from the beginning, they'd be the good guys, I think the true brilliance is that the game forces you to choose between logic and what your heart feels, a decision that is just as complex as Abby and Ellie's feelings.

      Her seeking revenge ended up destroying everything she ever cared for. So this makes the ending so much more even worst with the quite from The Ranch Scene.
      "Everybody I've cared for has either died or left me fucking except for you" something along those lines.
      But mna she trully lost everything got his revenge. For me I believe she didn't killed Abby because of Lev and remembering what happened to Joel when she ended at the bottom floor of the building. When they were beeting the hell out of him. Like at one point in the game it got me uncomfortable seeing Ellie beauting the hell out of some of the people when she came back to the theater and said to Dina she made her talk. Like there was such a sickening part of the action she had in a way. To a point while playing I got tired and felt the burden ofnher quest how heavy it was to getbher revenge at what cost too.
      Like all the game I've played had some happy ending ish. But this one has thebsaddest most depressing ending ever. Like they could have ended thecgame a the theater to be honest but that last part of humanity was left in Lev. By recalling Joel at the end when she was about to kill Abby was kind of Ellie's last part of humanity she had in to correct she was about to destroy.
      I like the ending as I didn't really wanned a sequel for it. The first game such a good job at making you realise how anyone can died in this wolrd that is The Last of Us.
      Just to bring some back on Sarah, Tess, Sam, Henry, Riley
      Like to get a sequel and have the theme about hate I needed it to be about as hateful as it could get with the character. I even disapproved what Ellie said to Dina as she stoped caring about her simply because she got blinded with Ellie seeking her revenge.
      Eyes for Eyes and the worls goes blind.

Just like they came after Joel they could come after Ellie, just shows how stupid the storyline was by basing it on such a flawed idea.

      Obviously allot of people did not get the message of the game. But looks like you did!
      Why does the storyline have to be perfect? Where Abby just forgives Joel, and we all move on? I thought it was realistic. At the end of the day Joel killed her father, to save Ellie. Joel would have sought revenge too if Ellie were killed. And now Ellie is doing it for Joel. What about the 100 people that she kills in the game to get to her goal? Their families are not allowed to be upset? I did not see a cut scene of Joel trying to reason with the doctor long enough. He just killed them like it was nothing. While in a desperate infected world when they find out Ellie is immune, people want to get that cure.
      The only thing Abby knows is that her dad was trying to make a cure (so he was trying to do something good) I don't like how she handled it regarding Joel, but i get it. It was just as bad as what Ellie was doing.

In my opinion it means now that she lost her family with Dina, she'll set things right with the world, seeking Fireflies and turning herself in to make the medicine for virus. This obviously means she'll die in the process but it'll save future generations and she'll be reunited with Joel.

    I managed to avoid all spoilers which meant i was able to go into this game without already forming opinions on leaks and rather allow myself to experience the story as was intended.
    Joels death was awful, it filled me with absolute anger and hatred towards Abby..... and I liked it, this game made me feel, and that was the point. It wasn't what I wanted at all but the hate is needed to form this great story on revenge, forgiveness, and the whether we're truly willing to give up everything for something that ultimately solves nothing. This world isn't about what we want, it's a cold, harsh, lawless world, and Joel lived that for many years surviving by any means. Joel by his own admission had murdered potentially innocent people as a "hunter" earlier in his life (Pittsburg in first game he mentions he had ambushed people)
    When we first switched to Abby I was curious, and as the game went on building her world with the stadium and her side of the story I began to hate her less, this soldier who had lost her way after getting the revenge she craved and dedicated both her life and body too for so long. She had no meaning anymore, everything she did was as a daughter, a firefly and not a wolf. Killing Joel avenged her father and completed her final mission as a firefly. She now felt lost until finding Yara and Lev, a new (intended) short term purpose which of course then became bigger, Abby then renouncing what association she did have with the WLF completely and following in Owens dream of finding the rumoured Fireflies in Santa Barbara.
    By the end of the game I didn't want to kill Abby, I was mad the game was forcing me to fight her, i wanted to forgive Abby and at that last moment Ellie did too. Eliie had realised that if she was finally able to forgive Joel with the "forgiveness" flashback in her mind, the one thing she had thought Abby had stolen from her, and in that forgiveness maybe she could start trying forgive Abby too and break that cycle.

I feel like the only thing that fell short for me was the fight at the very end. For the sake of the story I would have felt less awkward if they just forgave each other, but then you're left without a final battle of sorts. For me the theme was that no one was innocent but no one was guilty either. Everyone has their demons I guess

  • @KillSchwill

    They should've made the story about redemption, forgiveness and hope. Abby, the little girl who lost her father and therefore lives a horrible childhood in this messed up world without him. Who grows up seeking revenge on a man she doesn't know the name of. When Joel realizes what he has done and how selfish his actions in the first game were, seeing all the struggles this girl has gone through without her father because of his actions, reminds him of the pain he went through when losing his daughter, and from then in seeks out to help every honest soul he can. So he befriends Abby, and she becomes a new friendly companion to the two. And saves her life once or twice with some super heartfelt moments along the way. Until later when they all come across what's left of the fireflies, Abby reveals the truth about who Joel is. Attempts to almost kill him, leaving him badly wounded. But remembers the journey she had with him and Ellie, and can't bring herself to kill him knowing how much it will destroy Ellie to lose her "father". And realizes that nothing good can come of revenge. And chooses to forgive him instead. And if a main character has to die, have Ellie willingly sacrifice herself to the doctors looking for a cure. She would finally bring hope to the new world. And Joel can't selfishly shoot or lie his way out of it this time. He has to accept her fate. But at least Joel and Abby would have a new friendship. And Ellie would've saved the world.
    That's my ending anyways.

I'd like to see more people expand on this and add a central reason for Joel and Ellie's alternate adventure while running into Abby since I am missing that.

I've seen the theories that she found Dina in Jackson and only went back to the farm house to lay Joels memory to rest and I'd like to think its true. Either way that ending left me a bit sad and overall, I wouldn't change a thing about the game.

    Without playing the game and just hearing how the story went, I’ve figured out that Abby was a mirror character of Ellie only without the immunity. That being said, I am still disappointed how Joel didn’t get a redemptive arc, and Ellie turned out to be a lost soul. The Last Of Us ended its dilogy without a conclusion to our favorite characters. To be fair, if the game maker wants us to sympathize with Abby, maybe tell her story from a flashback rather than forcing the player to played her for the vast majority of the game as this is still a Joel and Ellie’s narratives. The first TLOU is a masterpiece with a definite conclusion as we understand Joel’s action and Ellie’s trust.

There was no grounds for the story. Abby's story didn't make sense.

  • @omaralami7346
    @omaralami7346 Před 3 lety +1

    I believe that before going back to the farmhouse, Ellie went back to Jackson. The bracelet is proof that she saw Dina again, she's not surprised or call Dina's name when she found the house empty, she says multiple time how much she misses JJ ans Dina in her diary and it's also kind of Tommy's fault if she went looking for Abby... However, the reason that makes believe she went back to Jackson (even if maybe she doesn't share Dina's life anymore) is her journey towards Santa Barbara. On the road she crossed paths with hordes that forced her to stay hidden in a cave, bury kids, Las Vegas infected and most importantly, the Rattlers. The fact that there is a group not that far, controling an entire state and captures people to enslavement is a good reason to leave an isolated farmhouse where you live alone with a toddler and your partner.
    I am 100 % positive that another TLOU will be developed for the ps5, but would it be a good idea to bring back Ellie? She went through some real shit in the two games and a DLC, bringing her back will be the same as telling her " Hey! We hate you so much! Here are some new problems to make you and your loved ones suffer even more!". Anyway, the first part ended with a feeling of "unfinished buisness" that kind of forced the development of the second part.
    Abby's narrative arc proved that the game isn't only about Joel and Ellie, that the studio can develop solid, well written characters opening numerous possibilities for a sequel without Ellie.
    This game deserves all the awards he got,I enjoyed every second of it.

      @MosesBad - It really felt like a big kick in the nuts being forced to play as Abby for so long, and (SPOILERS) you even fight against Ellie! It's a huge disrespect to us as gamers and our relationship to Ellie and Joel. To have them die is one thing. To play on the side of their murderer is another thing altogether!!

    I think the game would've been better if both story lines occurred back-to-back rather than solely focusing on Abby after almost 3/4 of the game had been completed. This would've made the player understand not only Abby, but establish character development for the other WLF characters. There were way too many cut scenes. The SB setting was one of my favorite parts of the game. Naughty Dog should focus the third game on a character in CA.

      Me too. Granted I didn’t play the first game until after the second so I never really had the attachment to Joel, but Abby was very sympathetic. If Ellie doesn’t think she can forgive Joel, why would she ever expect Abby to be able to do so? Abby let her and the others live and even after she killed nearly all of abbys friends Abby let’s her go AGAIN. Outside of Joel, Ellie’s actions basically lead to her other friends deaths an almost got her girlfriend killed too.

      I LOVED Abby’s campaign. It showed that she just wanted revenge for her father to feel better but actually it didn’t. During her & Mel’s dialogue on the back of the hummer Mel asks her “so how are you sleeping these days”? Abby replies “ not great”. That tells her story right there. Seeing her dad dead on the floor from being murdered by Joel gave her nightmares for 4 years straight. Killing Joel didn’t make her feel any better. The only thing that stopped them was saving Yara & Lev...because revenge is indeed a fool’s game. I don’t blame Ellie either. I question whether Ellie would’ve gone after Abby if she knew that the doctor that Joel killed was Abby’s dad. One of the things that the game tried to make you understand is that you could be killing someone that someone else cares about...& they did it flawlessly. I actually wanted Abby to whoop Ellie’s ass but just don’t kill her. Ellie was headed to a point of no return after killing a pregnant woman & the only person that didn’t want to see her harmed...Owen.

    i think that dina (because she was angry because ellie left) told everyone she was immune and has a bite mark on her, and maybe kicked her out, or someone sees her other bite mark which she got while travelling to find abby and does the same thing, or with that other bite mark maybe if she kisses someone their immune or they turn? either way if their is a part 3 neil druckmann said he will have to go on to the lines and carry on the story from what they had so by keeping the same characters and some of the objectives. next thing you might know the people who captured abby and lev might try and come after jackson or the fireflies and if they come for jackson one of the main characters might end up dying because neil as well as say they have to keep the same things running he also said there has to be a little sad in the game. i truly hope it won’t be dina, ellie or tommy but if it was one of them i wouldn’t be surprised that it is. the last thing i wanted to say was is cat dead and if she wasn’t, will she cover up that bite mark ellie has and maybe the relationship of cat and ellie come back or maybe a dlc of ellie and cat because we didn’t know what cat looked like in tlou2 and we didn’t know riley in the last of us, but there was a dlc for riley and ellie maybe their will be one for cat and ellie and showing dina when she was younger and how ellie was doing when it was 2 years earlier.

  • @mjss1984
    @mjss1984 Před 4 lety +28

    I commented this in a gamplay video with the pivotal scene shown.
    I don’t think Joel can’t or shouldn’t be killed in a story, but how it went down is the real issue.
    With how they ended him, I believe the best way to go about it was to show Joel being torn about how the first game ended. That he will do what he did all over again but is constantly reminded of the cost for him to live his life with Ellie (and Tommy). That way, with the years passing, he sort of accepts that one day he will meet his end at the hands of someone connected to the Fireflies in some way. So he is at peace with what happens to him. It will tie in with his strained relationship with Ellie when she found out.
    To show the above with a bit of dialogue, once Abby reveals they are looking specifically for him, Joel Miller, he could say something to the effect of, “I knew you’d come eventually. Do your worst, just leave Tommy out of it.” Then Abby beats him up in a rage as Joel did not beg but was more concerned for others, than his own life. Her revenge ended up feeling empty in that respect, especially after Joel and Tommy just moments ago saved her life eventhough they didn’t know her or owe her anything.
    And that’s when Ellie comes in not knowing what transpired and just seeing Abby deliver the killing blow. That starts Ellie’s own revenge path.
    I think tweaking it to show more of Joel being eaten up by the consequence of what he’s done/his guilt would give more justification to his eventual demise.
    This is just my thoughts on the matter. He can die in the story, just support it with better context or development.

    • @k.s2259
      @k.s2259 Před 4 lety +4

      I agree, it just wasn’t handled well. Joel’s death should make me angry, that much is true. But it shouldn’t leave such a sour effect on the rest of the game. I felt the story was just trapped in quicksand throughout the whole thing. At some points it started to crawl out but eventually just sank entirely.

    • @mjss1984
      @mjss1984 Před 4 lety +2

      K.S 22 ive also been thinking about the lead up to the ending.
      A part of me thinks that instead of Tommy, who is written to have survived a gunshot to the face, being there with Dina and Ellie, i think narratively, you could have used the father of Dina’s baby instead.
      Say on the part where he and Tommy got shot, you could have cut the scene where Ellie and Dina thought the both of them were dead so they leave while licking their wounds. You then cut to the father waking up after recovering . You could say he wasrescued by a wandering group. They tell him he was the only survivor and that his male companion was already gone. He asks about the females and they tell him only the two of them were there. he now thinks Abby took Ellie and Dina with her. So Tommy searches for Abby, on his own destructive path. Narratively that would explain how the character is able to find out and tell Ellie Abby’s whereabouts.
      Now, when the father (forgot his name, sorry) finds Abby and catches her off guard and has her at gunpoint, he goes on a rage asking, “where are they?!” And add some dialogue between the two. He finds out from Abby that she never killed or took them hostage and just let them go. She didn’t see the point to further bloodshed as it kept her feeling more and more empty inside (building up from when she killed Joel). Father leaves Abby where she is and looks for Dina and he finds them at that time where the game jumps (i think it was a year later after they encountered Abby).
      The father reunites with Dina and his baby. They are all surprised to see that he is alive. He tells them his story and eventually comes around to where he found Abby and that he let her live.
      Ellie finds out about this and gets angry at WHY he let her live. He explains that he sees no point as well in killing her as his main goal was to avenge his family. But they are alive and thats all that mattered to him. Getting revenge on Abby then just became pointless as what mattered more was being with his family.
      Ellie rejects this and says she will go after Abby herself since he didnt have the guts to follow through. This creates the bigger rift with Dina then she gives her ultimatum to Ellie. “Dont go or she wont have anything to come back to...”
      But Ellie still leaves, and this leads up to the ending but now with words from Dina and the father about what mattered more to them. At the same time, Abby’s words to the father of why she left Ellie and Dina alive that day.
      I think that reinforces the theme that revenge is not the path to go down on. And the slow build up between Abby, Dina and the father informs Ellie of this, but she understands it too late... only after having lost her new family again with Dina and the baby.
      Hopefully this long post made sense.

I’d rather see a grown up woman character like Abby than spoiled brat of a girl like Ellie who makes most stupid choices knowing that they are wrong. But then again I’m not a die hard fan of a 1st game which was really nothing special. To me. Your mileage might vary.

    I heard that the actress who plays the voice of Abby is getting death threats and some people have been finding her in person and threatening her. I think sometimes people forget it’s just a game. The actress is not the character. It’s just like when Game Of Thrones fans were sending hate and death threats to the actress who plays Cersei just because of her character. Can y’all even separate reality from fiction anymore? 🙄 anyway the game was heartbreaking but I actually really appreciated the theme and the fact that we didn’t get everything we want, because that’s not how life works.
