    1:19:10 i wouldn't really say Jacksonville and the WLF are the same, those people would just capture and kill you. Hell i can't remember when the WLF didn't immediately attack, while Joel and Tommy who i believe where one of the higher ups of Jacksonville they didn't let Abby die they saved her and I've seen few times where Joel would leave people for dead or try not to be noticed by the enemy.

    My main frustration is that, Joel and Ellie were killing so many people that david went out searching for them. Even though it wouldn't have benefitted him to do that he still did because he wanted to get his revenge for his dead men. Whenever we come across an enemy in the game we kill them so there are no survivors, hell in part 2 you hear them scream their companion's name when they are found dead, they get even more mad. So why would Abby being from the same crew think other's won't do the same???!

    ALRIGHT after a lil reading it turns out that injecting antibiotics, a penicillin of some kind is what I’m guessing they had on hand, can actually be made MORE effective being injected directly into a wound than say an IV drip or typical injection into a vein. Not totally sure Ellie knew this, it’s possible since she DID likely receive some form of training when she was with FEDRA. Prolly her only option really since she didn’t exactly have supplies on hand. But yeah there ya go. I was also curious about this and just remembered lol.

    Sarah dying is one of the most impactful moments I’ve seen in a game. I hate when people say it’s a ploy to get you sad in the first few minutes. It hardened and shaped Joel into who he was, allowing him to remember and revert to being a father to Ellie. The way Sarah unknowingly smears her blood all over Joel while trying to hold him will always make me cry.

    Nah it wasn't a masterpiece. The continuity and pacing was a complete disaster, and sending Ellie out on her own for most of the game made it just another revenge story. The dialogue between Joel and Ellie gave the first game so much emotional depth and so I think they missed a big opportunity not pairing Ellie up with Tommy. I'm sure people will say that would have just copied the first game but clearly it wouldn't because the dialogue between the two would have been completely different. However the Last of Us 2 World was simply amazing and the game mechanics were fantastic. A real flag in the ground on both those fronts. The one big issue I had was how controlling naughty dog were with what you could and couldn't do in the game. Even down to the fact you weren't even allowed to take Manny out, the dude who spat on Joel's body. Druckmann's moral finger wagging got on my tits to be honest.

    I know im a little late to this video - but i wanted to point something out about 343 guilty spark that ive always thought is such a cool detail. You pointed out how isolated you feel even at the start, and there's so many details that create this - no marines for the first time, no cortana talking to you, no music. But something even more sinister is that as you approach the facility, their are no elites for the first time in the game, and the grunts are running away from the building, not towards you

    So, coincidence is always a thing in stories. It’s literally in every story, if there aren’t coincidences the story can’t happen. But it’s super disingenuous to knock on a story just because of coincidences when you wouldn’t do it to another story just because you don’t like the coincidences that took place for the story to happen. Also, clearly you did not pay attention to the scene of Abby killing Joel from their perspective. Owen was the one that said that they shouldn’t kill Ellie. When everyone else, including Mel wanted to kill her. As we see later with Owen not killing the old man scar he doesn’t like killing people he feel doesn’t deserve it, he’s also not as deep into being a “soldier” as the rest of them. He wasn’t really into it, he did out of necessity and most likely just to be with Abby. Which is why we see him wanting to skip training and convincing Abby to stay longer with him at the aquarium. It’s also why Owen wants to leave and go to Santa Barbara. Owen was more aligned with the actual ideas of the fireflies, of wanting to save the world and actually do good things for the people. Even though most of the fireflies didn’t really care and just liked the freedom and were tired of being treated like shit by Fedra. So the reason they did not kill Ellie is because of Owen. Owen was willing to let himself get killed just to save a girl he didn’t even know. He was with Abby for her, while yes he probably wanted Joel dead too it was very clear the way they did it messed with him. Owen was a voice of reason for Abby but she didn’t always listen due to her emotions and drive for revenge getting in the way. But the same way Owen stopped Ellie from getting killed, Lev stopped Dina from getting killed. Which is why Abby grew attached to Lev, Abby was deep down a good person but she blinded herself on the training and the revenge because of the death of her Father, who before that was always teaching her to be a good person, to help others. But without him Owen was the only one there and clearly their relationship wasn’t the greatest, most likely because Owen wasn’t exactly for the whole revenge thing.

    • @Soma-vd3lp
      @Soma-vd3lp 4 місяці тому

      @@marcushenderson1741 gameplay wise it’s amazing, there’s nothing like it. But story wise I get the hating Joel’s death but videos like this and the people who think like this I just don’t think the story is for them, and that’s okay. It just feels disingenuous to pretty much nitpick plot points in a way you wouldn’t on a story you love. You can pick apart any story like this but that’s not fun to do, if you sit there and say “well this is too much of a coincidence” or “this just isn’t believable” every story will eventually fall apart, because Authors write the story in a way and it’s not often not meant to be taken apart like this. It’s taken as it is. And people can say the story wasn’t made for them and it wasn’t, authors write for themselves as much as they write for fans. Neil even says he made the game how it was because of his own thoughts at the time and he was really into the cycle of violence and the consequences. They could’ve easily made another game where Joel and Ellie go on another adventure or something but they didn’t, and that’s why I love it. I was also pissed off when Joel died, which is what the writers want. So as Ellie you wanna kill those people as much as she does. But then Jessie dies, Dina, Ellie, and Tommy are all wounded horribly. And you sit there and think “going after Abby was not worth it”. Because you can say “Abby is a monster she’s hurting these people” but Ellie just did the same thing. You just did the same thing. While Ellie was in that place Abby was before killing Joel, Abby was learning to let it go and finding meaning in another way, in someone else. So after Ellie gives up this beautiful life with Dina and a child for revenge and she finally gets to Abby but sees that she is only protecting that kid at that point it’s similar to Joel and Ellie. She has that realization right before killing Abby that killing her isn’t gonna make the pain stop. And we see with Abby still having nightmares about her dad’s death and killing Joel that it did not solve anything. Only after the act and saving Lev and Yara does she finally move on from it. It’s a story that if you don’t care Abby and if you’re not willing to see it from her point of view as well as Ellie’s then it’s not gonna hit for you. I think they made a fantastic story and game that was always doomed to be controversial and they knew that. And I love it for taking that risk and doing what they wanted to do. Because at the end of day if you want Joel and Ellie the 1st game is always there. And no return having all the different characters to play as including Joel basically gives you the Joel gameplay you want. And not mention in the midst of all this crazy story they somehow made a John wick simulator 😭 sorry for all of this

    One thing I liked about this is how you always refered to the Infected by their given moniker or just "Infected". I find it annoying how the term zombie is just thrown everywhere when alot of sick, mutated, or infected monsters in games, shows, movies, books aren't zombies. Zombies are decomposing festering corpses, but in Last of Us, the fungus is keeping the body alive, in Dying light, its a rabies, a vast majority of Resident Evil monsters aren't the popculture zombie types you encounter in the start. And whats more annoying is how most people mock the usage of monikers or the term Infected and they go "oh sorry, not zombies, "iNfEcTeD" ". And its just dumb cause if you refer to everything as just zombies, what type? I'mma assume you mean Walkers so I'll be a little confident, but oh no, it turns out to be 28 weeks later Infected and now I wasn't prepared. Just a rant, loved the video

Now go run around planets fighting giant monsters. "What are your qualifications?" "I'm a pilot." "Perfect. Here's a pistol. We need space marines." The person or people responsible for the plot of this questline are completely clueless.
